Beggars can’t be choosers but i really don’t vibe with someone cheating to win a memorial tournament lmao. Yeah we didn't have two people cheat last year to win it or anything.

I thought it was fine but after a great first fall it fell to the forced epic stuff that FTR has a little bit of an issue with and it's partly why it's nowhere near the FTR/Briscoes 2 out of 3 falls at least.

Okay this is getting into absurd overkill, sorry guys. Stop with this. What's overkill? This crowd is going insane, they are playing this perfect The crowd went insane in that Cole/Gargano match that I absolutely hate, doesn't mean anything to me. I genuinely hate 700 kickouts in a row matches.

Cash's hair is out of control. Punk saw Cash get a barber appointment and yelled at him saying he was FTR Hair and he does not get haircuts as long as he's around

The big thing this very long feud hasn't really given us at all is singles matches from anybody really (besides Mox vs Kenny, Yuta vs Kenny, and Mox vs Hangman there hasn't been a single other new one) so let's hope so but we'll see. This has irked me to no end. We should have gotten Claudio vs Kenny and Claudio vs Hangman, a rematch between Hangman and Takeshita with Take getting his win back, and matches like the Bucks vs Claudio and Danielson or Bucks vs Mox and Takeshita, that kind of stuff. I get saving matches, and I'm glad they're holding off on Kenny vs Takeshita, but there's been a host of great matches left on the table during this feud. Anyway to get back on topic, matches I'd love to see during Ibushi's run in AEW: Ibushi vs PAC Ibushi vs Orange Cassidy Golden Lovers vs Ospreay and Takeshita Just a note on that but one of the Bucks hasn't had a singles match in 18 months, the other in 28 months

-Women's heel title reigns/interefence: both Britt and Toni's reigns have been Seth Rollins heel title reigns driven to the extreme with interference, so I suppose non Jade heel women's title reigns fit into this. Jade's also had some interference, just nowhere near as bad as those two.
-Overly long feuds: sometimes this pays off (like Hangman/Kenny), but other times you get the Jericho/Eddie, Jericho/Ricky, Scorpio Sky/Sammy, Gunns/Acclaimed, and the ongoing Britt/Saraya feud which is now in its 10th month
-Sticking to the plan no matter what: this is most evident in the ending of title reigns but specifically Jade's reign was so beyond stale by the time Statlander finally won that it feels like her reign has still never gotten off the ground. That along with Britt's reign becoming horrendous just because they had to wait to have her drop it to Rosa in her hometown, and having Acclaimed drop the tag titles when they were still such a hot act to the Gunns as a transition to the FTR reign they inevitably planned on which has finally gotten going after several months. Tony is just REALLY stubborn with his plans.

I'm thinking Bandido or Rush taking on Claudio would be interesting considering they are both former ROH Champions. Scorpio Sky would also be an interesting choice especially considering his history with ROH. Scorpio Sky in a title match on a PPV would be so unbelievably disappointing. Right now though, the possiblities seem to be... Athena vs Willow- Women's title Joe vs Dalton Castle- TV title Claudio vs ?- ROH title The Kingdom vs Lucha Bros- tag titles (genuinely sad they haven't interacted a single time despite them doing this Kingdom build for like 2 months) Garcia vs Shibata- Pure title (this was the build but Shibata not being in ROH in six weeks has made it collapse) Outside of that...I got nothing. Embassy has completely squashed every opponent for months and there are no three man teams left. They could do Diamante/Leila Grey blow-off, but that's not exactly setting the world on fire. They pretty much need to do a run of special matches here because they have really little depth or plan.

Colt Cabana again? For real, maybe a new lady? I’m not sure who, but someone who needs a character kick in the right direction? Jade should lead them in a new more brutal version of her character. Just my opinion since I am not taking Evil Uno seriously as a leader, sorry.

I don't really have anything against Ruby exactly, but Willow has been so much better this year and the idea of Willow or Skye losing to The Outcasts AGAIN (they are literally a combined 0-10 against Toni/Ruby/Saraya this year in TV singles matches) is just so goddamn annoying. Ruby constantly being booked as a choke artist is also annoying. At least Willow won the NJPW title this year and now has claim to an ROH Title shot as well, Sure, but it's the same thing as last year when Britt was sort of spinning her feet and having a bleh year yet won anyways. Athena/Willow/Skye are both having much better years in ring (and getting over) than Ruby and it would just be an anticlimactic win.

I really hope Ruby wins. Time for her to FINALLY get to win a big match. I don't really have anything against Ruby exactly, but Willow has been so much better this year and the idea of Willow or Skye losing to The Outcasts AGAIN (they are literally a combined 0-10 against Toni/Ruby/Saraya this year in TV singles matches) is just so goddamn annoying.

I'd love to see Ibushi vs Takeshita or Claudio. Too bad Danielson is injured because that would've been amazing, too. The big thing this very long feud hasn't really given us at all is singles matches from anybody really (besides Mox vs Kenny, Yuta vs Kenny, and Mox vs Hangman there hasn't been a single other new one) so let's hope so but we'll see.

I think they desperately need something. The show was genuinely strong before Supercard of Honor when they had their own small arena type deal and just used that along with pushing actually programs along/setting up the PPV well. Even GCW, Impact, etc all build shows better than this is being built. It's genuinely embarrassing to not have a single match announced a week out with a show in a 3K seat arena.

So with Mark Briscoe now officially out, they don't have a single match announced for a PPV that takes place in 8 days. We'll probably end up with Joe vs Dalton Castle with this rushed TV title tourney and Willow/Athena at least, but man between injuries and generally just not caring about ROH this PPV has a complete disaster of a lack of build.
They can probably do Garcia/Shibata also but Shibata hasn't been on ROH in 6 weeks and they haven't interacted since Forbidden Door. Lucha Bros/Kingdom could be fine I guess but again they haven't interacted a single time since that ladder match. Embassy has already plowed through the entirety of makeshift ROH trios teams so I don't see any possibility there.

Isn't the tag tourney final on Collision on the 29th? That's what they kept saying
