Matt Young 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 I was wondering what were some of the worst names any of you have seen for indy shows. This was inspired by me going to the home page of New Midwest Wrestling (Springfield, IL) whose shows I attended every month til I moved to California. They have some good wrestling and usually have decent show names, but this is just beyond horrible: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Why does ROH sometimes name their shows after heavily-hyped main-event matches like Joe/Punk II or Joe vs. Kobashi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Because they're heavily hyped main events and it's easier to use that than a gimmicked name for the show like "Hurray For Hyped Main Events" or whatever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Why does ROH sometimes name their shows after heavily-hyped main-event matches like Joe/Punk II or Joe vs. Kobashi? It's simple and directly to the point. That's the drawing point of the show, simply giving it that title emphasizes the importance of it. It's only happened twice with Ring of Honor (naming a show after the main event workers), so it's not common which allows it to stand out, placing a larger sense of importance. That or they didn't want confusion when fans went to buy the dvd/video containing the match and wanted them to directly find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
