Features: Live Chat With Rob Feinstein Transcript 3/25/03
<@robfeinstein> I just want to thank everyone first for coming in here and thanks for supporting ROH and RF VIDEO
<+simoncharette> Is there anyway i could get some vip treatment sinc eim coming from canada to see roh?
<@robfeinstein> Ask for doug and he can help you out and we can have you meet some of the guys, ask at the end of the night he does cameras.
<+simoncharette> Since the backseats are in roh on a regular basis now will we be seeing some roh talent regular or one time only apperances at czw shows?
<@robfeinstein> Yes I think there will be some more ROH guys working for CZW In fact soon
<+TheNatureBoy> Would you consider signing Mike Awesome?
<@robfeinstein> Right now no because of his Japan deal. He is a great talent .
<+Chewy> Mr. Feinstein when will ROH come to WI?
<@robfeinstein> Wow VERY SOON possibly, we are planning a mid west tour for the summer.
<+Chewy> And what do you think of IWAMS and Ian's shots at you?
<@robfeinstein> They dont bother me. I think they are funny, ask Ian about his business practices.
<+Colt45> Are u working on getting a promoters license for NY so u dont have to use goodmans?
<@robfeinstein> We were happy with Frank and we are looking to come back to NY soon.
<+Colt45> What has been your personal favorite moment in ROH's short history?
<@robfeinstein> I loved the NYC show to be honest or maybe when dreamer came out to the ring or low ki winning the title and watching his promo for us.
<+Supreme15> I am a big ROH fan and live in Western Pa, I am planning on going to the West Mifflin show and want to know if there are any other venues you might go to in Western, PA?
<@robfeinstein> As of right now no we are going to stick to where we are.
<+Supreme15> Rumors have flown for some time about RF Videos business practices, poor quality, overpriced tapes, tapes taking a long time to ship etc. What do you have to say about that?
<@robfeinstein> We have worked very hard to improve our services, in fact this past weekend at ROH we have invested in 3 new cameras that are now professional quality 3 chips. RFVideo always tries to improve. Overpriced tapes we sell alot for $12 now lol. You have to remember we pay royalities where everyone else on here does not.
<+Juice1> Rob, what's your all time FAVORITE wrestling storyline?
<@robfeinstein> Piper and Snuka greatest feud ever, anything with the horseman pre 88.
<+Juice1> In your opinion, who is the worst WRESTLER in the world right now?
<@robfeinstein> Some guy in mexico who is canadian and hangs out with clowns. He would not even be able to set up the ring in ROH.
<+ROHBostonFan> I have taken video shooting/editing classes at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in Boston and have been to
every ROH Boston Show, Is it possible to get a job with ROH?
<@robfeinstein> As of right now we have a full staff but keep in touch with us.
<+ROHBostonFan> How come ROH shirts oly come in size XL and up? The Lil guys need shirts too!!!
<@robfeinstein> We have large shirts call the office and we can see what we can do as I know we do sell large
<+MaxMoon> 1) Are you goin to sign talent like Chris Hero and Jerry Lynn even tho they're working for XPW? I watched Hero vs Punk and it was phenominal.
<@robfeinstein> We have our eye on Chris Hero but the XPW thing is a factor. Jerry Lynn is a good friend so who knows. He was in at 6-22 show. I would like to bring in Kid Kash sometime.
<+MaxMoon> 2) I've noticed that the refs are being very lenient with the code of honor. Are you guys going to continue with presenting wrestling as a competition?
<@robfeinstein> Yes ROH will continue to present the same quality of wrestling and stroylines.
<+Ruckus20> What wrestlers that have not been in ROH yet would you most like to bring in (from So Cal, Japan, ect.)?
<@robfeinstein> We are working on some huge japan names we are working on a group of them as we speak.
<+Ruckus20> Would ROH ever open up its own wrestling school?
<@robfeinstein> Wow another great question as we speak I just hung up with the SAT and Red and we are working on that. We already have a ring set up at our new office, we are just waiting for the right teachers. If we do it , the school will be in Langhorne.
<+VictorQuinones> 1) Will Ikuto Hidaka return to ROH?, I think a match between he and Low-ki in an ROH ring would be phenomonal!
<@robfeinstein> Yes he was going to be back in May, since he is in the US but we are in England at that time so maybe this summer
<+VictorQuinones> 2) I am from the UK, How many ROH wrestlers are coming over to the UK for the FWA/ROH show and any names yet?
<@robfeinstein> I beleive 5 or more I dont have the list yet as we are working on the japan schedules.
<+JoshuaTSmith01> Is there any truth to the rumor of Yoshihiro Tajiri is coming in, seeing that the WWE is letting their lower end talent take outside dates and you and Tajiri are pretty close?
<@robfeinstein> Tajiri said he would work for us in a second and we are talking with Jim Ross about that but as of now nothing is definite.
<+JoshuaTSmith01> What involvement will Ring Of Honor have at the upcoming Zero-One Valley Forge show? Will it be a "joint show" between Z-1, PFW, and ROH?
<@robfeinstein> Right now its just a Zero One and PWF show.
<+bloodywolf> 1) What tapes and what prices are they going to be at the FWA/ROH show in the UK and is it true you (Rob) will be running the stall?
<@robfeinstein> Not sure yet, we will have all dvds there not sure about vhs. I will be there as well. We would have RF tapes but to convert them to pal would take to long.
<+bloodywolf> I'm coming over for the April 12th show, any chance of meeting some of the boys? (We're coming all the way from the UK)?
<@robfeinstein> Of course find Doug and you must have a accent to meet them lol.
<+MIHonorFan> First off, I have traveled to see ROH 5 times from Michigan with a group of 4 and we've had a great time each time, so THANKS to You, Gabe, Doug and all other ROH staff...we look forward to coming out for the 4/26 show, anyway here is the first Q...Could you elaborate on where you hope to see ROH travel to later in 2003?
<@robfeinstein> We want to really go into new markets slow. I think that IL, WI, MN will be next. We would love to go to FL as well as Buffalo.
<+MIHonorFan> 2) Do you find the conflict with Japanese schedules to be a positive or negative to ROH in that established stars like Corino, Dragon and Ki have to miss once in a while?
<@robfeinstein> It is good for them to miss sometimes because it keeps them fresh, but sometimes it is a last minute deal when they get called over and that hurts our booking.
<+RandomIWR> I) I'm a ROH fan from Detroit. Have you been looking at such MI standouts as Chris Sabin, Truth Martini, Amazing N8, Alex Shelly, Bryer Wellington, Andy Muscat,Conrad Kennedy III and others for future shots at ROH shows as you head further West?
<@robfeinstein1> I have heard of them but have not seen video on them, something I need to look into.
<+RandomIWR> II) Are the rumors true that RFVideo will be releasing it sometime this summer?
<@robfeinstein> We are working on that right now.
<+tigermask5> I got the ROH queens show and during the riot scene i saw michael shane jawjacking with Mr. Feinstein and one thing came to another and Feinstein said were going to get banned from the elks lodge, so my question is did you get banned from the elks lodge in queens??
<@robfeinstein> No we are working a return date
<+tigermask5> Okay, and roh has the heavyweight and tag title but will there be a third roh title anytime soon cause you need atleast 3 titles in wrestling. A perfect title is the roh 6 man scramble title.
<@robfeinstein> We are roh so we have the #1 contenders trophy, we do not want to copy other promotions.
<+Jobowski> What are your thoughts on the booking recently, especially the worked-shoot angles
<@robfeinstein> Lets just say me and Gabe butted heads for the first time on these.
<+Jobowski> What are you thoughts on the 2/8 scramble and is their any heat on anyone for how bad it was?
<@robfeinstein> The match went to long and there was too many people in the ring and it could not follow what was on before.
<+DVDAD2> First to Rob and the staff, great job with RF Video and ROH, been a supporter and buyer for 6 years- First since its safe to say that XPW will be done and over with any second, any chances of getting back Buggaloo, York and Mathews plus adding Devon Storm.
<@robfeinstein> Buggaloo wont be back .....York the door is open to and we will have to wait about Joey.
<+DVDAD2> Second and most important, who was better in the sack Kristi Myst or Missy Hyatt?
<@robfeinstein> Kristi Myst by far
<+alext> Hey Mr RF im a upcoming intrnational wrestler named The Shooter A.T.Hart do u think once i prove myself in the indies do u think i could get a shot at RING OF HONOR and with glory by honor do u think the drea macth of best friend Steve corino and christopher daniels will take place by then and are u guys returning 2 Queens nyc any time soon?
<@robfeinstein> Send us a video on yourself......We will see where Daniels and Corino goes, and NY we are working on soon. We will be back in NY by the end of summer.
<+heywoodjablowme> What exactly sparked the reconcliation between ROH and CZW?
<@robfeinstein> XPW, Philly promotions should stick together.
<+heywoodjablowme> Are there any angles in ROH that you are personally responsible for and if so whats your favorite?
<@robfeinstein> The Tommy Dreamer one.
<+dylan5150> Can you tell Slugger to stand near the posts outside the ring. I have no idea how the Red match in Boston ended becasue he was in the way.
<@robfeinstein> ROFL. You can tell him yourself he is scary to talk to, he is one tough mfer.
<+dylan5150> The Special K guys look young, are they trained enough to get dropped on their heads that much?
<@robfeinstein> They all have been trained or they would not be in our rings, and that is the style they choose to go by. They are so high that they dont even know they are being dropped on their heads.
<+ryanbodi> 1) Has RF ever considered a frequent buyer rewards program or an ROH show subscription service? I know you offer the tv sub. service, but for those of us who buy the shows that might be an idea.
<@robfeinstein> We are always looking into deals for the roh fans the only deal we have as of now is for TV
<+ryanbodi> Why the hell you guys cant update your backstage section every day?
<@robfeinstein> That is a Gabe question lol
<+andyvitale> Would you be interested in doing a shoot interview with Ron Jeremy ?
<@robfeinstein> It depends on what kind of shoot.... Not like the Myst one where he is naked.
<+andyvitale> What kind of support do you need to bring ROH to Florida and how can I help being that the fans down here are starving for a good show?
<@robfeinstein> We are looking into running FL. We want to get TV in the new markets first before we go into them and that has always been a plan. Plus I love FL the best, as it was the best place to go to when we did ECW.
<+roh85> What's up next for future best of's? American Dragon 2? Williams? Modest?
<@robfeinstein> I know we have a few American Dragon tapes out now. Ross makes all of the best of videos so I will let him know about Modest and Doug Williams.
<+roh85> What's your opinion on ROH guys doing dark matches for WWE and who do you think Titan will steal from you in the near future?
<@robfeinstein> I think it is a great chance for ROH guys to work for the WWE. they can learn from the road agents. At this time we are not worried about guys going to WWE.
<+OhantiFACEWASH> 1) How is Chris Marvel ever since that nasty injury he received in his match with Paul London at Round Robin Challenge?
<@robfeinstein> He is doing alot better but is not ready to get into the ring. We would love to bring him in again when he is ready
<+OhantiFACEWASH> 2. Is there any plans soon to bring guys from AAA, Toryumon, or EMLL to wrestle in ROH?
<@robfeinstein> Yes but I dont want to ruin any suprises.
<+MikeJohnson> #1 - can you book raven vs Konnan next month?
<@robfeinstein> yea in a scaffold scramble match
<+MikeJohnson> #2 - Don't you agree that MLW will storm the wrestling world now that greg Bagodonuts is on staff there?
<+MikeJohnson> and dont forget wrestlingbustrips.com for NYC trips to ROH folks
<@robfeinstein> yea now the cost of their buildings will go up 500%
<+Nate> How often can we expect double headers?
<@robfeinstein> It all depends on the ROH and CZW schedule and if John wants to continue this we love it as it helps both companies out.
<+Nate> Is a Buffalo ROH show in the works? Please say yes...
<@robfeinstein> Yes it is and we will be there in the summer.
<+Kyle1> Do you plan to move to a bigger building than the rec center as ROH grows?
<@robfeinstein> We already are looking.
<+Kyle1> What did you think of the JJ Dillion shoot?
<@robfeinstein> It was over 5 hours and I felt like I was sitting with a doctor and not JJ. It was a great informative interview, one of the best.
<+eXtremeJobber632> 1.) Any plans on running in the midwest? 2.) What are your thoughts on IWA Mid South, Smart Mark Video and Ian Rotten 3.) Does ROH have a working relationship with NWATNA 4.) When will C.M. Punk get his title shot
<@robfeinstein> We will be running the midwest this summer, I dont think of Ian Rotten at all, We get along great with TNA and the jarretts, and CM Punk will be a huge factor in ROH
<+KashUK> Are there any other UK workers you are interested in bringing over for a show, over then Williams, Jody, and Jonny?
<@robfeinstein> Not sure but when we go there in May I will look at all of them more closely.
<+Owen316> What is the deal with Konnan and is he gonna be back in ROH...i was sort of embarrassed when the fans booed him and said don't come back at the rec center.
<@robfeinstein> I like Konnan as he is a great worker he does one of the best promos in the bizz.
<+Owen316> Are you looking at maybe a working relationship pro wrestling iron?
<@robfeinstein> We use Morgan for now and if someone from there sends us a tape we will use them if they are good in the ring.
<+bradsimon> What kind of time table are we looking at before the late december and january and march shows ROH shows come out on VHS?
<@robfeinstein> Gabe was sent back to college against his will to learn the smae computer that doug is doing the videos on and then him and doug will be doing videos at the same time. not to ramble but the tapes will be out quicker soon. doug puts many hours into them and that is why we put out the NY show as we feel we needed to get that out before the Dec and Jan shows.
<+bradsimon> Ive noticed from this chat alone that you have a ton of Michigan fans, any chance of coming here?
<@robfeinstein> Mi is another place we are looking into going we want to hit all the towns that ECW did good at MI was a great wrestling town.
<+Robbie73505> What do you think is better in booking terms shoot booking or work booking?
<@robfeinstein> I like the shoot booking the riot deal in NY was super over you dont know how many people came up to me and asked me if things were out of control. the funny thing is alot of people dont know this we did not tell anyone about that in the locker room only key people so at times guys were out of control you have to watch the video to see who was throwing legit punches....cheap plug.
<+Robbie73505> Do you think that you might ever bring back Sting to wrestling for a few matches?
<@robfeinstein> yea him and Lex vs Briscoes would be hot. I dont know about using Sting as I think he has been stung.
<+havoc> JUST WONDERING IF WE ARE GOING TO SEE ANYTHING MORE OF RUDY AND HIS TWA STUDENTS. DO U HAVE ANY PLANS OF PUTTING THEM IN SOME STORY LINES AND JUST WONDERING IS FAST EDDIE REALLY BLIND OR IS THAT JUST A GIMMICK
<@robfeinstein> He really is blind as a bat just like Stan Hansen. We will deff be using more of Rudys guys. Hotstuff Hernandez is from the TWA school and Rudy brought him for us. He will be a huge star.
<+Fan> Theres a guy that just started working for CZW and he works in Socal ALOT...His name is B-Boy and i think hes a great talent are you guys going to bring him in and what do you think of B-Boy?
<@robfeinstein> We dont have any plans on using B-Boy. I have not seen enough of him to make a judgement
<+Gcroz> Rob, Any plans to bring in some stars from Japan?
<@robfeinstein> Everyone, we will be bringing in some guys from Japan very soon.
<+Gcroz> Tanaka and Ohtani were Great.
<@robfeinstein> We wanted to bring them in during the April shows but that will not happen.
<+dg4life> I was just wondering if you have a large collection of wwf tapes from the 80's, also why did the store in emerald squae mall close down???
<@robfeinstein> I dont have many tapes from the WWF from the 8o's but Vince would be mad if I sold them.... The Ma store ran its course and it was just not worth the time.
<+ChaosTheory> 1. Will Dlo Brown ever work for ROH....it would be cool to see Brown vs. Cabana or even Brown vs. his long time friend Reckless Youth.
<@robfeinstein> I don't know Dlo well at all, I met him in Puerto Rico but I think he works a WWE style. I will be watching him in TNA.
<+basrotten> When is Terry funk coming in?
<@robfeinstein> He was going to come in a few months back but things got messed up. We are working on something for the future
<@robfeinstein> I am a huge Funk mark and Terry would watch our tapes and tell us what he thinks he turned us onto London.
<+sixershawn> Any plans to work in buffalo?
<@robfeinstein> is there a echo in here lol we will be there before 2003 is over.
<+BJ> Is Reckless gonna be in any ROH shows any time soon? I know he got messed up on the way to the NYC show?
<@robfeinstein> He is in at the next philly show in April
rohwrestling.com has all the scoops
<+BJ> Any plans to bring in any other guys from Japan (Toryumon possibly)?
<@robfeinstein> If I tell you it would not be a suprise.
<+dragonfire1> 1) any chance of Ultmo Dragon coming to RoH 2) what was up with Hotstuff teaming with Mase
<@robfeinstein> We are having talks with him now. You will be seeing alot more of him in the future.
<@robfeinstein> He wanted to get his hands on the carnage crew again.
<+MattH716> I was wondering if ROH could come up north a little more like in Maine. You could possibly attract more Canadian fans
<@robfeinstein> I dont know about Maine we never talked about it. If there is a good building to run let us know we want to take things slow and concentrate on markets that we know we will do good in.
<+MattH716> Yes, will we see 2 out of 3 falls matches or any other gimmick type matches in ROH anytime soon?
<@robfeinstein> You might see a cage match somewhere down the line.
<+Soletaker> What ever happen to Scoot Andrews and why he has not been on ROH?
<@robfeinstein> He had a baby, first guy to ever give birth it was amazing.
<+Soletaker> Will he be back?
<@robfeinstein> Yeah definately when he can.
<+Soletaker> One more, Will ROH ever be on Cable TV?
<@robfeinstein> We were on in philly we will be getting TV in some new markets soon maybe before summer.
<@rohjoe> Thanks everyone for the questions, we hope to have you back for another live chat Rob.
<@robfeinstein> Thanks everyone, and from all the guys in the locker room, they thank you as well.
<@robfeinstein> I just want to thank everyone first for coming in here and thanks for supporting ROH and RF VIDEO
<+simoncharette> Is there anyway i could get some vip treatment sinc eim coming from canada to see roh?
<@robfeinstein> Ask for doug and he can help you out and we can have you meet some of the guys, ask at the end of the night he does cameras.

<+ryanbodi> Why the hell you guys cant update your backstage section every day?
<@robfeinstein> That is a Gabe question lol
<+andyvitale> Would you be interested in doing a shoot interview with Ron Jeremy ?
<@robfeinstein> It depends on what kind of shoot.... Not like the Myst one where he is naked.
<+andyvitale> What kind of support do you need to bring ROH to Florida and how can I help being that the fans down here are starving for a good show?
<@robfeinstein> We are looking into running FL. We want to get TV in the new markets first before we go into them and that has always been a plan. Plus I love FL the best, as it was the best place to go to when we did ECW.
<+roh85> What's up next for future best of's? American Dragon 2? Williams? Modest?
<@robfeinstein> I know we have a few American Dragon tapes out now. Ross makes all of the best of videos so I will let him know about Modest and Doug Williams.
<+roh85> What's your opinion on ROH guys doing dark matches for WWE and who do you think Titan will steal from you in the near future?
<@robfeinstein> I think it is a great chance for ROH guys to work for the WWE. they can learn from the road agents. At this time we are not worried about guys going to WWE.
<+OhantiFACEWASH> 1) How is Chris Marvel ever since that nasty injury he received in his match with Paul London at Round Robin Challenge?
<@robfeinstein> He is doing alot better but is not ready to get into the ring. We would love to bring him in again when he is ready
<+OhantiFACEWASH> 2. Is there any plans soon to bring guys from AAA, Toryumon, or EMLL to wrestle in ROH?
<@robfeinstein> Yes but I dont want to ruin any suprises.
<+MikeJohnson> #1 - can you book raven vs Konnan next month?
<@robfeinstein> yea in a scaffold scramble match
<+MikeJohnson> #2 - Don't you agree that MLW will storm the wrestling world now that greg Bagodonuts is on staff there?
<+MikeJohnson> and dont forget wrestlingbustrips.com for NYC trips to ROH folks
<@robfeinstein> yea now the cost of their buildings will go up 500%
<+Nate> How often can we expect double headers?
<@robfeinstein> It all depends on the ROH and CZW schedule and if John wants to continue this we love it as it helps both companies out.
<+Nate> Is a Buffalo ROH show in the works? Please say yes...
<@robfeinstein> Yes it is and we will be there in the summer.
<+Kyle1> Do you plan to move to a bigger building than the rec center as ROH grows?
<@robfeinstein> We already are looking.
<+Kyle1> What did you think of the JJ Dillion shoot?
<@robfeinstein> It was over 5 hours and I felt like I was sitting with a doctor and not JJ. It was a great informative interview, one of the best.
<+eXtremeJobber632> 1.) Any plans on running in the midwest? 2.) What are your thoughts on IWA Mid South, Smart Mark Video and Ian Rotten 3.) Does ROH have a working relationship with NWATNA 4.) When will C.M. Punk get his title shot
<@robfeinstein> We will be running the midwest this summer, I dont think of Ian Rotten at all, We get along great with TNA and the jarretts, and CM Punk will be a huge factor in ROH
<+KashUK> Are there any other UK workers you are interested in bringing over for a show, over then Williams, Jody, and Jonny?
<@robfeinstein> Not sure but when we go there in May I will look at all of them more closely.
<+Owen316> What is the deal with Konnan and is he gonna be back in ROH...i was sort of embarrassed when the fans booed him and said don't come back at the rec center.
<@robfeinstein> I like Konnan as he is a great worker he does one of the best promos in the bizz.
<+Owen316> Are you looking at maybe a working relationship pro wrestling iron?
<@robfeinstein> We use Morgan for now and if someone from there sends us a tape we will use them if they are good in the ring.
<+bradsimon> What kind of time table are we looking at before the late december and january and march shows ROH shows come out on VHS?
<@robfeinstein> Gabe was sent back to college against his will to learn the smae computer that doug is doing the videos on and then him and doug will be doing videos at the same time. not to ramble but the tapes will be out quicker soon. doug puts many hours into them and that is why we put out the NY show as we feel we needed to get that out before the Dec and Jan shows.
<+bradsimon> Ive noticed from this chat alone that you have a ton of Michigan fans, any chance of coming here?
<@robfeinstein> Mi is another place we are looking into going we want to hit all the towns that ECW did good at MI was a great wrestling town.
<+Robbie73505> What do you think is better in booking terms shoot booking or work booking?
<@robfeinstein> I like the shoot booking the riot deal in NY was super over you dont know how many people came up to me and asked me if things were out of control. the funny thing is alot of people dont know this we did not tell anyone about that in the locker room only key people so at times guys were out of control you have to watch the video to see who was throwing legit punches....cheap plug.
<+Robbie73505> Do you think that you might ever bring back Sting to wrestling for a few matches?
<@robfeinstein> yea him and Lex vs Briscoes would be hot. I dont know about using Sting as I think he has been stung.
<+havoc> JUST WONDERING IF WE ARE GOING TO SEE ANYTHING MORE OF RUDY AND HIS TWA STUDENTS. DO U HAVE ANY PLANS OF PUTTING THEM IN SOME STORY LINES AND JUST WONDERING IS FAST EDDIE REALLY BLIND OR IS THAT JUST A GIMMICK
<@robfeinstein> He really is blind as a bat just like Stan Hansen. We will deff be using more of Rudys guys. Hotstuff Hernandez is from the TWA school and Rudy brought him for us. He will be a huge star.
<+Fan> Theres a guy that just started working for CZW and he works in Socal ALOT...His name is B-Boy and i think hes a great talent are you guys going to bring him in and what do you think of B-Boy?
<@robfeinstein> We dont have any plans on using B-Boy. I have not seen enough of him to make a judgement
<+Gcroz> Rob, Any plans to bring in some stars from Japan?
<@robfeinstein> Everyone, we will be bringing in some guys from Japan very soon.
<+Gcroz> Tanaka and Ohtani were Great.
<@robfeinstein> We wanted to bring them in during the April shows but that will not happen.
<+dg4life> I was just wondering if you have a large collection of wwf tapes from the 80's, also why did the store in emerald squae mall close down???
<@robfeinstein> I dont have many tapes from the WWF from the 8o's but Vince would be mad if I sold them.... The Ma store ran its course and it was just not worth the time.
<+ChaosTheory> 1. Will Dlo Brown ever work for ROH....it would be cool to see Brown vs. Cabana or even Brown vs. his long time friend Reckless Youth.
<@robfeinstein> I don't know Dlo well at all, I met him in Puerto Rico but I think he works a WWE style. I will be watching him in TNA.
<+basrotten> When is Terry funk coming in?
<@robfeinstein> He was going to come in a few months back but things got messed up. We are working on something for the future
<@robfeinstein> I am a huge Funk mark and Terry would watch our tapes and tell us what he thinks he turned us onto London.
<+sixershawn> Any plans to work in buffalo?
<@robfeinstein> is there a echo in here lol we will be there before 2003 is over.
<+BJ> Is Reckless gonna be in any ROH shows any time soon? I know he got messed up on the way to the NYC show?
<@robfeinstein> He is in at the next philly show in April
rohwrestling.com has all the scoops
<+BJ> Any plans to bring in any other guys from Japan (Toryumon possibly)?
<@robfeinstein> If I tell you it would not be a suprise.
<+dragonfire1> 1) any chance of Ultmo Dragon coming to RoH 2) what was up with Hotstuff teaming with Mase
<@robfeinstein> We are having talks with him now. You will be seeing alot more of him in the future.
<@robfeinstein> He wanted to get his hands on the carnage crew again.
<+MattH716> I was wondering if ROH could come up north a little more like in Maine. You could possibly attract more Canadian fans
<@robfeinstein> I dont know about Maine we never talked about it. If there is a good building to run let us know we want to take things slow and concentrate on markets that we know we will do good in.
<+MattH716> Yes, will we see 2 out of 3 falls matches or any other gimmick type matches in ROH anytime soon?
<@robfeinstein> You might see a cage match somewhere down the line.
<+Soletaker> What ever happen to Scoot Andrews and why he has not been on ROH?
<@robfeinstein> He had a baby, first guy to ever give birth it was amazing.
<+Soletaker> Will he be back?
<@robfeinstein> Yeah definately when he can.
<+Soletaker> One more, Will ROH ever be on Cable TV?
<@robfeinstein> We were on in philly we will be getting TV in some new markets soon maybe before summer.
<@rohjoe> Thanks everyone for the questions, we hope to have you back for another live chat Rob.
<@robfeinstein> Thanks everyone, and from all the guys in the locker room, they thank you as well.
