    The show was a backdrop to all the ROH drama the last 4 days.

    Such as... I heard about Elgin, what's the deal with ACH's no show?

    ACH and Elgin can feck off. The real cause:

    I don't watch ROH TV but they have this strange habit of managing to keep their PPV's a complete secret from me.

    Announced at the iPPV that Chikara are coming to the UK in April. 2 dates in Wolverhampton and 1 each in Cardiff and London. Hopefully be able to convince the future wife-to-be to skim a little off our savings to head across

    The biggest expose on CHIKARA identities will be if UK Customs catch them entering the region without work visas.

    Really enjoyed the iPPV last night. The tag title match was absolutely fantastic.

    I'd be interested in seeing Alberto Del Rio without the confines of WWE booking. How do I watch?

    What's the deal with ROH now preventing their contracted stars from appearing in other promotions? Is it a done deal and if so who will if affect?
    I'll spoiler this bit just to be safe. I haven't read the Black Cole Sun results but saw that Cole and maybe O'Reilly gave farewell speeches so I'm guessing it is a done deal. I'm assuming Roddy will be tied to ROH too?

    I think Roddy is freelance he also works for Gabe and him and ROH still aren't on great terms.

    I HONESTLY broke this story online. ROH pretty much always had the contract clause just they never really exercised it. Most of the roster are under contracts that offer x amount of ROH dates and say don't work for Gabe Sabsosky. However upper lever talent including the likes of Adam Cole, The Briscoes, Michael Elgin and Jay Lethal have more lucative but restrictive deals. ROH would let them wrestle on 4 outside dates a month dependent on ROH's approval.

    ROH management developed an odd jealous dislike for PWG as essentially ROH talent would talk about PWG with glint in their eye. Talent works for PWG at a greatly reduced rate compared to what they make at ROH which annoyed ROH management even more.

    Then ROH Champion and known ****wit Michael Elgin doing the job to someone as lowly as Trevor Lee also soured ROH management on PWG as well.

    Good info there, thanks. So in a nutshell they're just throwing a wee jealous hissy fit.

    You talking about Elgin and Lee at BOLA? Literally just watched that this morning :)

    Pretty much. It is kind of crappy. The Sinclair Broadcasting Group owned ROH isn't promising anymore dates in 2015 to make up for it or any real investment into the product.

    It is! Lee has a very bright future. Kevin Steen pointed to him as his successor on the indies. Also he impressed WWE scout William Regal. Just he is a very little profile/status.

    My favourite thing about Lee is that if you praise him on social media several members of his family favourite or comment on your Tweet/post. Gas stuff.

    What's going to be the best way to watch Wrestle Kingdom next week. Preferably the one with JR commentating. I downloaded the Flipps app and hooked it up to the tv and not impressed with the quality and the buffering so I don't hold out high hopes for a 4 hour ppv stream.

    Will their own network offer the English commentary and what's the pricing like?

    Will it be a case of being patient and catching it on daily motion or a download somewhere?

    Cheers!

    NJ World will only be in Japanese if you want to see the English version I'd wait for it to turn up in the usual places.

    Is there no way of ordering it to your television with Matt Striker & Jim Ross on the commentary?

    The only thing I've seen is Jarrett saying on twitter it's available outside America on the Flipps app. But as I said, not impressed. Was gonna pay for it but not if it's only going to annoy me at 7am.

    Nope only through the flipps app no other legal way to get the English version outside North America.

    Well I guess Jeff Jarrett doesn't have the global reach that the name Global Force Wrestling suggests.

    NJPW put out a press release stating their goal is for 100,000 subs to their New Japan World streaming service worldwide so they're gonna need to work out some English commentary if they want to get anywhere near that.

    (I guess these post should be in the Japan thread.)

    So, merely speculating here, do you think if they want to make their network translate well outside of Japan, they could perhaps work out some sort of deal with a permanent commentary team that is provided by Global Force Wrestling? It would be a good start for Jarrett.
