Ring of Honor Rasslin'

The "THIS IS AWESOME" chant sums it up! i defy anybody to go there and not have a good time!

Speaking of chants, there was barely a time when one wasn't "going". Soccer fans certainly have nothing on ROH (Ring of Honor) fans!

At one point, chelle said "is this Circue, or is this wrestling?" They even got the bullshit chant going briefly! ROH is a completely different kettle of fish than WWE. It actually IS about athleticism rather than tired speeches and angles (Angles).

It was a total time warp, we had old school fish and chips at Len Duckworth's beforehand, which was awesome. It reminded me of the stuff we had all the time when i was a kid. In fact, the whole Main and Danforth ghetto area reminded me of the 'hood i grew up in in St. Catharines. Dollar Stores, down and out restaurants, junk stores that conjur up images of Sanford & Son or Cook's Curiosity Shop...

The arena itself is an antique of a barn, and it was "hotter than a microwave oven". One concession, so we didn't grab anything at all, and the food that people were buying looked completely menacing. One needed to sip some Pepto just looking at it! No picture of The Queen, and horrible acoustics, but man, i LOVE that place! This is the sort of place i would have loved to have seen The Rheostatics play. Something tells me Bidini was hanging out in the luxury, errr time keeper’s box. i'll have to try to visit sometime this winter.

Next time i bring my dad!

PS we didn't find the giant Lenin head.
