But, it helps give some much needed depth to the characters in ROH.

The card itself could be better, but that is the case with almost every wrestling show.<\/p>\n<p>Today I want to talk about the lack of buzz for the G1 Supercard show at MSG In April. ROH, with the help of New Japan, sold out f\u2019ing Madison Square Garden. They forced NXT to move to Friday night. That is a big deal. But, I feel like fans and ROH have done little to talk about and hype that show.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2394289254\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This time of year in WWE we start guessing, and people start reporting what the main event of Wrestlemania will be. In New Japan, the winner of the G1, in July, sets up the main event of their biggest show, in January.<\/p>\n<p>What I am trying to say is that wrestling fans love a long build to a huge match. ROH does not always have a huge event like G1 Supercard. But, they do this year. I just don\u2019t know what they are doing in the way of booking. At this rate, my guess is that Jay Lethal and Matt Taven will have a match to unify the ROH title.<\/p>\n<p>That can\u2019t be how this goes, right? I am not trying to hate on Taven, or Lethal. But that match should main event an Honor Club event; not a sold out show at MSG during Wrestlemania weekend.<\/p>\n<p>My only ask is that ROH does something in order to build a match that is worthy of an event like the G1 Supercard.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years.
