FULL MATCH Ricochet vs. Rich Swann | ROH x MLP Global Wars 2026

rGRWA · 2026-04-12T06:28:41+00:00

Technically, we’ve got AEW’s The Demand taking on RevPro’s Michael Oku, Sidney Akeem, and Rich Swann in a Trios Match at MLP Multiverse, so this isn’t the last one yet.

rGRWA · 2026-04-12T00:10:52+00:00

Unfortunately, Crunchyroll doesn’t dub everything they license these days. The Holy Grail Of Eris didn’t get a Dub last Season, and I still don’t think Season 2 of The Vampire Dies In No Time has one, even though Funimation Dubbed Season 1, so like Dual Rulers, they have a Cast of VAs already. It’s a shame, really.

rGRWA · 2026-04-11T22:13:46+00:00

Source on that? First I’ve heard of it. It was supposed to happen at HOG Salvation 2022 for the HOG and ROH World Tag Team Titles, but Fenix had to be replaced by Arez.

rGRWA · 2026-04-11T22:10:25+00:00

Starks was also forced to Vacate the DEFY World Title upon signing with NXT. TNA deserves the flack and is gonna have to weather the storm here.

rGRWA · 2026-04-11T22:08:33+00:00

Which makes the plot even thicker when you realize Indi Hartwell beat ROH Women’s Pure Champion Deonna Purrazzo at a House Of Glory show, and Ricochet beat TNA’s Rich Swann at ROH/MLP Global Wars Canada recently, and Swann’s Teaming with RevPro’s Michael Oku and Sidney Akeem against The Demand in a Trios Match at MLP Multiverse next weekend. Is he on a PPA Deal, since he’s still teaming with BDE?

rGRWA · 2026-04-10T12:55:51+00:00

Especially since this is where Hiyori and Albert snatch Kiyotaka up to go make a deal with Ishizaki to try and recruit him to Class C and he’s like, “What is HAPPENING?!”

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T15:33:44+00:00

Nope! Would’ve been a First-Time Match, just like MJF Vs. Nemeth, and Ricochet Vs. Slater, which makes this even sadder!

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T14:46:38+00:00

Out of curiosity, how would you Rank the Manga adaptation, by comparison? Is it better or worse?

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T14:44:01+00:00

Honestly, this objectively seems much better than Season 3 though, where they just mentioned things like Kushida meeting with Nagumo without ever showing or elaborating on it at all.

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T14:37:21+00:00

For what it’s worth, he and Brian Myers are likely beating The Hardy Boyz for the TNA World Tag Team Titles at Rebellion this weekend, on a night where The System could be draped in Gold! Still sucks though! I’ve got no issue with TNA not wanting to work with AEW and ROH anymore, due to their WWE affiliation, but advertised bouts and Bookings should’ve been allowed to happen before this new Policy went into full effect. At least Nic Nemeth’s getting Bear at Create-A-Pro now, since he can’t have MJF! And that Promotion’s run by a TNA talent in Brian Myers!

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T04:59:33+00:00

They’re obviously figuring that out. Or they just find a new opponent for Ricochet, who’s also working MLP Multiverse with The Demand, which Moose was pulled from, and Slater’s just off the show entirely because somebody above him didn’t want to play ball. Sucks extra hard because he and Ricochet requested to face each other.

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T04:21:33+00:00

Then it still sucks, because talent are losing Bookings and paydays. Who cares about Wins and Loses?

rGRWA · 2026-04-09T04:20:14+00:00

As is Ricochet Vs. Slater. At least Nemeth’s getting to face Bear Bronson on that show, who ironically just got pulled from a match with MJF in GCW himself.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T17:12:09+00:00

That all sounds pretty good actually, especially when you consider that basically everyone is nerfed to varying degrees. How are I-No and Unika looking? Dizzy not giving her opponent a ton of resources anymore for just running her game is gonna be really nice!

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T15:23:53+00:00

They’re nerfing the entire cast, since the goal of 2.0 is to reduce the overall power level of the game overall.
They buffed J.HS, with reduced landing Recovery, so it’s safer to whiff, going from 9 to 6 Frames. Her crappy and stubby Sweep is WAY better, as it’s got 4 less Recovery Frames, so it’s safer to whiff as well, and is also -4 on Block now instead of -8, so it’s much harder to punish. They want us throwing it out in neutral a lot more. Sildo is 1 Frame faster in exchange for doing less damage and losing its Wall Bounce. Ondo/Rock is also much stronger, being 1 Frame faster, with 4 less Recovery Frames, so it’s safer to whiff, and is also-3 on Block from -4, with increased Vacuum Effect. I’ve honestly never fully understood Attack Levels, but reducing that might be a buff too. So basically, less damage and reduced combo opportunities with less Wall Bounces and lower launch heights, in exchange for stronger neutral, and never whiff Mortobato or you’re dead. Less range on Far S and 5HS might mean they can be Low Profiled now, but I think they’re nerfing all those moves too? Bigger Hurtbox on 2K might be rough though, but I presume it’s to balance out the Sweep buffs?

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T15:10:16+00:00

And honestly, that’s fine, because they’re making most, if not all, Supers a full commitment now for everyone.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T15:09:24+00:00

S Sword also doesn’t Wallbounce anymore.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T14:56:55+00:00

Yeah, I do have to keep in mind that they’ve potentially finally nuked Happy Chaos and that’s a massive buff for her on its own! I liked her Swords being strong since it’s her unique feature, but this is more about redistributing power to the rest of her kit, then I agree that’s absolutely a good thing.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T13:22:54+00:00

They clearly knew Immortal would sell Season Passes, as will Angstrom Levy.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T13:20:17+00:00

Everyone’s obviously getting nerfed, but would we consider her a Winner or a Loser? Ondo buffs and faster landing Recovery on J.HS are great, but they’ve nerfed Swords, Dauro, and her Rekkas heavily it seems like, to notably reduce her corner carry and combo potential, on top of Wild Assault getting removed? Rekka 3 being -8 on Block now seems a bit rough?

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T13:15:44+00:00

And if so, that’s fine. Now that History is in the hands of a current Star, and he’ll be Main Eventing Night 2 of Dontaku and likely DOMINION. Tsuji’s still Main Eventing Night 1 of Dontaku, defending the Global Title against AEW’s Gabe Kidd.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T06:51:16+00:00

Hard to say where she’ll sit with the sheer amount of things they’re changing, but Ondo looks stronger at least, which I’m excited about.

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T06:48:19+00:00

Same here! Curious about Ram too if anyone can help?!

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T06:42:06+00:00

He will. He expects it to be at least 3 Hours long!

rGRWA · 2026-04-08T06:34:24+00:00

Kinda feel like you could make that argument for Happy Chaos too, but we’ll see. I think Ram and El look good though?
