Such a shame that with Lucha Underground putting out the best wrestling on television in FREAKING YEARS no one in this dead thread talks about it.

Another amazing episode they had tonight. They've been on quite a streak lately

It is really good stuff. I'm an episode behind, but the last one I saw with Mundo and Alberto was pretty amazing to see those guys cut loose, unlike in WWE.

Angelico's dive off that platform vs. The Crew is still one of the sickest things I've seen so far.

The amount of quality they pack into a 1 hour episode is unparalleled in wrestling right now. When they finally do a pay per view style event it's going to be MIND BLOWING!

If rumors of TNA's cancellation are true, Ring of Honor just scored a knock out punch and took over as # 2 wrestling promotion.

If TNA has NOT been cancelled, then holy crap Wednesday has officially become wrestling night with ROH, NXT, Lucha Underground AND TNA all having shows on that night. The hell with Monday Night Raw, Wednesday is where it's at. Just watching ROH and TNA back to back is likely a more entertaining 3 hours than WWE will give you on Monday nights. Throw in NXT, which is better than Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, and Lucha Underground which is hands down the best wrestling product out there right now and Wednesday gets very exciting for wrestling fans. I'll probably tune in to Lucha Underground and TNA while DVRing ROH and pirating NXT off the net a day or two after it airs on WWE's network (since I still won't support that corrupt company with my money)

Wednesday Night Wars? LOL

This is huge for ROH, it may double their viewer ship

With Global Force Wrestling on the horizon and New Japan having an international network, wrestling's in a boom period right now. TNA and WWE are not the only games in town.

Good for ROH. I hope that company continues to grow.

Gave up on TNA quite some time ago. Sounds like I'm not the only one, if rumors are true.

I just got done catching up on the past couple weeks of NXT and the buildup and eventual match between Joe and Steen, sorry Owens, is going to be fantastic. I'm worried and disturbed about the TNA news though I'm looking forward to actually watching ROH again.

There's roughly 12 hours of wrestling a week lol I can't keep up. Good for ROH. Just saw that news come across.

Hope TNA keeps alive. Panda has the money to make that a very viable brand but guess they don't care.

Curious, how many folks here get Destination America? I have the second of four base tiers offered with Dish, no add-ons & I get it. I also had it with crappy Comcast Cable previously. Probably a bit more widespread than most think.
