I think theres kind of a difference in attacking someone 3 on 2, after a ladder match, beating them senseless, tying them up, lifting them above your head and cutting a promo drenched in their blood, then saying some naughty words.... It's a double standard. There have been bloodier instances in Ring of Honor. More blood and more hatred has been shared between others than AotF's simple warning.
The Briscoes showed that they can't handle the heat, and they had to go on a sad tirade of 30 seconds with the 'f-word' and all that thrown wildly.
Jimmy Jacobs points his stick at the sky, and the Briscoes WILL FALL at the next show.
It's set in stone.

Yeah, Mark wasn't pretty to begin with...and then he got his front teeth knocked out. Anyway, I love the Briscoes part...that may be the most honest-to-life promo ever. Take two guys like the Briscoes, what other possible way COULD they respond? ...Uhm, use nice language? ROH are hypocrites in some sense. They will not let the AotF reign with their attacks and won't condone any of it, but they will let the Briscoes go off on a tirade with the f-word used thirty times?
The Briscoes will fall.You actually counted? And hey, ROH has a 80 "F" limit.

Is it just me, or did the Jimmy Jacobs promo feel like a John Morrison one? The symobolism was awesome and all, but the delivery didn't feel like it had any real emotion.

Tyler Black has a freakishly long neck. Kind of weird looking, really. *hides from Mizz*
Jay Briscoe is the damn man.

That was good. I admit, I was slightly underwhelmed...the crowd didn't seem great, the camera work didn't capture the situation well, and Jacobs has done better promos...but it was still great. I really liked seeing the Jacobs-Lacey role reversal...and Necro's line was great haha.
Why do I have to wait until January to see this entire show in it's entirety? Ugh

the difference between "other bloodier instances" were taht a lot of the time, they were condoned by ROH beforehand(such as they were in promoted matches and whatnot) while this was not.

or maybe the fact all that bloody stuff wasn't put on their new pay per view deal. remember it is the pay per view that footage isn't going to be on. your argument could begin to make sense if the briscoes f bomb promo was on the pay per view.

It was awesome , it's never really bothered me before BUT anyone else wish ROH had better production values? The camera was so far away for most of it, like farther than I've seen before in ROH. With better lighting and shots, it'd gone down as legendary... Still awesome

Nah, I definitely know exactly how you feel. I'm a gigantic Jimmy Jacobs mark, but despite the awesome content of the promo, the delivery definitely seemed forced, and he stumbled over his words a bit. Still, the sheer GREATNESS of Jay Briscoe hanging upside down and bleeding buckets onto a completely white clad Jacobs more than makes up for it. Just pure win.

With better lighting and shots, it'd gone down as legendary... Still awesome thats probably because there hasn't been a long time to edit, so must of it is Hard-Cam footage. On the DVD release, shorter camera images will be spliced in.

Jimmy Jacobs is my new hero. That promo came across, to me anyway, as something an in-his-prime Raven might do.

The Jacobs hanging thing didn't seem that interesting to me and I could barely hear him at times, hardly this great promo that people were making it out to be, at least in my opinion.

Amazing.
Jimmy Jacobs...my true savior and hero. My role model. The losers, the drunks, the 'child stars' with the silver spoon fed to them by ROH in the Briscoes will be destroyed. Take your side...
You can cheer for the athletic but sadly misplaced brothers with a tongue of an angry drunk with no life, OR you can choose the side of justice, power, and EVERYTHING THAT IS RIGHT. They are open to all. Everyone is a beauty to Jimmy, Butcher and Tyler.
We are all a family. Cool, a Hulkamaniac!
