Luckily for TJP he seems to have gotten himself a gig
wrestling for TNA as Suicide. Awful video game nonsense aside it's good for
him. He's a talented guy who deserves the spot. Ring of Honor's decision to let
Perkins go was foolish but they have at least done what they can to rectify the
problem since. Specifically they've hired ACH.
This guy could be a player if treated right
Like Perkins ACH knows how to get on with a crowd, has an
awe inspiring range of aerial manoeuvres and has a marketable look. Being
paired with Tadarius Thomas is a further plus point. It will allow both men to
grow into larger roles naturally while contributing to an area ROH seems
determined to cultivate. Which is a good business move in itself because no
other North American wrestling company seems bothered about presenting
meaningful tag team wrestling.
As good as TJP was in ROH there was a distinct lack of
direction for him throughout most of his time there. I'm not just talking about
him being given the summer off. That was, in retrospect, ROH's way of releasing
a popular talent that they had no plans for in a way designed to minimize
backlash. Even before that TJP had been added to cards late and was usually
placed into a losing effort designed to make others look good. It was an
uninspiring approach that was never going to turn him into a major player.
The more focused booking of Delirious should see
Attitude, Charisma, Heart (yep, that's what it most commonly stands for)
sidestep that issue. With so many excellent teams in ROH ACH and Thomas have
plenty of great matches in front of them in which to get themselves to stand
out. By the time the team runs its course, and it will, they'll both be well
positioned to step into meaningful singles roles. As the more dynamic of the
pair ACH should stand every chance of being a singles star when that happens.
In short I think ACH is one of the stars ROH will be
built around for a significant period of time. And that's a good thing.
