•Social Media Scene

Below is this week’s round-up of social media posts from ROH personalities.

I love Kelly’s Message here.

This is really cool to me.

Save us, PCO!

Sounds like a smart girl to me.

•Closing Commentary

We are officially in the post G1 Supercard world of ROH. Let’s step back and look at the current tiers of wrestlers in my mind:

Main Event Guys – Matt Taven (ROH Champion), Jeff Cobb, Rush, Bandido, Flip Gordon, and Marty Scurll

Step Below Main Event – Jay Lethal, PCO, Mark Haskins, and Juice Robinson (because he isn’t full time).

Mid-Card Guys – Silas Young, Jonathan Gresham, Brody King, Tracey WIlliams, Bully Ray, Shane Taylor, PJ Black,Dalton Castle, and Kenny King

Tag-Team Specialists – The Kingdom, The Briscoes, The Bouncers, Shinobi Shadow Squad, The Bouncers, and Coast 2 Coast.

Women of Honor – All the Women are poorly utilized. As a result, they are all equally underutilized in my mind.

If you accept this as the current hierarchy in ROH, what do you see happening in the next six months? Who will take the belt off of Taven? My guess is Cobb will get a shot, but to gain heat, The Kingdom will screw him over. The easiest story after this is for Rush to beat Taven, due to the history the two have in CMLL.

What do you think will happen in the next few months in ROH?
