I believe I have results covered for this show by WC's own MaDaBa, but one more confirmation of this would be nice.
Oh, and does anyone NOT think Nigel will be defending against Hero?

Now that the west coast weekend from hell is behind ROH, it's time to look ahead to what may be the biggest doubleshot in ROH history.

Yeah, they do have quite a bit to build on from the abortion that was the last three days. I honestly don't see them selling very many DVDs from this weekend.

I see them struggling to keep the Vegas show in stock. I also think that abortion isn't the proper term for this weekend. I'm with other people - poorly promoted shows (the Vegas show was announced less than a month ago) in 2 new markets, neither of which can be considered "wrestling towns", the convention (which wouldn't really qualify as their fault), and yet they put on two shows which, by all accounts, were very good AND managed to draw about 300 to a show in Vegas. Did they lose money? Yes, but they'll probably break even with the DVD sales. I'd hardly consider it an abortion. Wanna know Misawa's night 2 match, darn it! He's facing KENTA. It was announced about 2 weeks ago. |

Hmmm...
As good as that match has the potential to be, this has kind of ended up being just a NOAH showcase in ROH, not the sheer amazing NOAH vs ROH match we got from Kobashi. Shame, I think.

Yeah...I was looking forward to a NOAH v. ROH match myself, but I'm pretty sure that NOAH has full booking power for their title match, which means that Misawa v. KENTA, as good as it will be, was not ROH's choice. I'd like to think that Misawa would have faced Dragon if ROH had been allowed to book it. |

Did they lose money? Yes, but they'll probably break even with the DVD sales. I'd hardly consider it an abortion. i was at the vegas show and i don't think it was that bad. first time in the area, and all those people showed up with near no advertising done for the event. i believe they started putting up a few posters to promote the show about two or three hours before the show. which led me to think they didn't even care to try to put up advertisements for random off the strip customers because they assumed if you are the type that enjoys roh, you will know it is happening. i will be getting the dvd for sure. of course this was the first roh event i got to go to so i may be a bit biased but i was thoroughly entertained. |

Well, the hits to the card just keep on coming. Now we know Quack is out for this show, so him vs Strong is off the table.
