{Spoiler}I had a feeling that the Wolves were taking the titles. Again, all meant to make the tag team scene seem super chaotic and competitive. {Spoiler}

so, i was there live tonight, and it was probably one of the best shows ROH has put on in toronto.
the whole thing with bj was f***ing scary though. i've never seen the audience so quiet and unsure.

I really hope Whitmer is okay. But the guy really needs to calm down. How many times has he almost killed himself in this company alone? {Spoiler}Awesome news that the Wolves took the belt back. I'm thrilled that we'll very likely be seeing a tie breaking match against reDRagon.

That pic looked gruesome, he literally just dropped him flat on his head.

How many times has he almost killed himself in this company alone? only other time really was when he went head first through the table at Final Battle last year, and that too was a botch. after that comes the time he fell trying to powerbomb Jimmy Jacobs off the top turnbuckle, but no one thought he almost killed himself (Jimmy Jacobs on the other hand...)

Kevin Steen posted this on twitter:
For those asking, I spoke to BJ. He's in good spirits. Just waiting on some test results and stuff. Send positive vibes his way, won't you?
He also responded to a fan's question:
is he able to move at all?” Yes.
I hope BJ Whitmer has a full and speedy recovery. That picture that was posted earlier looks nasty.

I feel like the guy first really got over by taking stupid bumps. Like he was the guy who took most of the offence throughout the CZW feud. Also had the barbed wire match, which granted I haven't seen. But I remember the guy taking a lost of cringe worthy hits throughout the years. Though moreso during his first run.

That pic looked gruesome, he literally just dropped him flat on his head. I don't know. Agreeing to take a stupid move like piledriver on the ring apron seems pretty dangerous. There's clearly very little room for error when you're trying to drop a guy safely with that little space to work with. Bennett could have easily lost balance, or something similar. I can't really call him reckless in this case without knowing further details.

Though moreso during his first run. he was the "sacrificial lamb" for ROH during the ROH/CZW feud, but other wrestling on a fractured ankle (suffered during the botch powerbomb with Jimmy Jacobs) it was all kayfabed. at Best in the World what kills the whole "BJ Whitmer is too injured to compete after the beatdown by the CZW locker room at Arena Warfare" is the fact he did a run-in during the CZW show immediately after Arena Warfare and was perfectly fine

So far, from the spoilers, this is all predictable. We'll see.

As someone who's been going to live wrestling events since '91, that was the single most stomach churning thing I've ever seen live. I became dizzy with nausea just watching him be attended to and probably would have left had there not been an intermission immediately afterward to clear my head. Didn't know it was a botch though, I thought i was just worked like a pro. What was supposed to happen?

he didn't rotate enough, same as when Mark Briscoe botched the SSP in 2007 and landed on his head as well

quick results specific to title tournament: {Spoiler}- Tommaso Ciampa beat Michael Bennett to advance to the semi finals - Kevin Steen beat Roderick Strong to advance to the semi finals - Michael Elgin beat Karl Anderson to advance to the semi finals
it is now Adam Cole vs. Tomasso Ciampa and Kevin Steen vs. Michael Elgin, most likely going down at Death Before Dishonor XI

results of the main event: {Spoiler}for the third show in a row the ROH World Tag Team Championship changed hands when reDRagon beat The American Wolves to reclaim the titles. Post match warning lights and siren go off and Homicide & Eddie Kingston stare down the new champs

{Spoiler}I'm happy to have reDRagon back as champions. I love both teams, but it's also exciting to see where the Wolves go from here.
But I am not interested in seeing Kingsotn and Homicide in ROH.
