By the way, actually met Jay Diesel briefly after the ROH show in Atlanta a few months back. SUPER nice guy. Is he able to walk without tripping over his feet outside of the ring?

The last one wasn't on iPPV live, and when the VOD went up, it was the same price as the PPV, which isn't cool at all.

Just got home after spending the night in New Jersey. What a show. I had a great time, as I always do at ROH. A few notes:
- We got stuck in traffic. Gee, who knew driving from upstate NY and hitting the NY metro area at rush hour would cause that? Somehow we lucked out and nabbed a parking spot almost directly in front of the arena. We walked in the doors just as they were getting ready to announce Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino. Talk about timing. Missed the first few minutes of Page and Watanabe to hit up the merch stand. Grabbed the Kevin Steen shoot dvd, and my brother got a few dvd's. When we got to our seats, a lady was sitting there. I asked if she knew where our seats were (she was in them but I wanted to be courteous). She said she just wanted to sit and rest her knee. My brother and I wound up standing for the show. What can I say? I'm a gentleman. But they were 8th row seats so standing was actually better.
- Elgin and Kushida was solid. The ROH crowd loves to hate Elgin, and he really seems to love to be hated.
- Naito and O'Reilly were a great comedy act. Good stuff.
- The four way was one of those matches where the match was decent, but just the four guys being involved set it apart. Its been said here before, and other places, but Nakamura has a presence and a swagger about him that is completely unique and sets him on another stratosphere from everyone else. Lethal worked really hard in the match. Liger was Liger in 2015, and Mark Briscoe...that guy is something else.
- Tanahashi and Strong was AMAZING. Roddy getting busted open added to a match that was already stellar. Definite match of the night.
- Addiction vs. Chaos was fun. Kazarian and Daniels acknowledging the "f*** TNA" chants and pointing to Okada, with him playing innocent, was funny. Red Shoes was the most over performer in the ring. Never thought I'd hear a "f*** him up Red Shoes" chant, but it happened when Daniels put his hands on the ref. Oh, and the Addiction brought back the World Tag Team Champions of the World title. Awesome.
- Briscoe vs. Fish was good. Crowd split was interesting. As said in the results posted earlier, the crowd was more in favor of Fish, but the Briscoe fans were louder. Though I was pulling for Fish (Upstate NY represent!), I wasn't a fan of the outright Briscoe hate.
- The main event...holy shit. It might have been the spottiest spotfest that ever spotted. And it was absolutely magical.

Impulse questions....
Is tonights iPPV worth ordering?
Is it worth risking ROH's iPPV follies to watch live?
Is ACH/Nakamura a real thing, that's actually happening, that isn't a figment of my imagination?

I would be if it didn't start at half past midnight here when I have to be up for work at half past five. I will be purchasing anyway and watching tomorrow night on VOD though. That's your only risk. They've been better over the past year or so but did f*** up a bit with Final Battle. I often find it better to just not watch it live, avoid spoilers the next day and watch it on VOD when I get home as I mentioned above. It is, and it's gonna be amazing.

Just got back from the show tonight.
It was for the most part very entertaining.
Okada/Alexander and ACH/Nakamura were excellent and the main event was one of the nuttiest spotfests I've ever seen. Lethal/Naito was also very good.
Bullet Club and Nakamura were ridiculously over.
I didn't love Tanahashi/Elgin. There was nothing wrong with it, but their styles aren't terribly complimentary of one another and there was a bit too much sloppiness to reach the next gear.
After the PPV ended, Jay and AJ came to and went after Lethal. Jay was setting him up for the Drilla, but AJ told him to stop and Briscoe tossed Lethal over to AJ for a Styles Clash. Briscoe and Styles shook hands and AJ went to the back, while Briscoe still jawed at Lethal and posed for the crowd.
All in all, it was a lot of fun.

Oh, there was a dark match.
Dalton Castle beat Donovan Dijak.
Crowd loved Castle.

Adam Page is awesome. If he doesn't get to the World Title level (not necessarily winning it but constantly in the picture), I'll be stunned. Still not sold on ACH though, he is just missing something, IMO.

I've only watched the Main Event thus far, but it was a certain MOTY contender. The match flowed perfectly and the spots were all worthwhile. Brilliant stuff, especially given that I wasn't expecting anything beyond pretty good.

In a minor spoiler, Truth made the TV tapings and brought a little Sparx with him so to speak.
