Was a pretty good show, but I'd still rank Final Battle above it. I was one of the few people who actually loved that main event.

I was there live in the front row a few seats to the right of the announcers ( I was in the blue dress shirt. You probably saw me acting like an idiot several times in front of the camera), and I gotta say that it was a GREAT show. Even better than Mania last week. This was my first ROH show in person and it did not disappoint. Both title matches were incredible and I'd put KOW vs Briscoes as a strong MOTYC. Richards vs. King was also really good and the Fallen Angel returning was the most I have marked out in my life. Colt/Generico vs. Corino/Steen was great storytelling and the post match beat down was awesome. The Butcher match and the Cassandro match were both fun and the crowd was really into them. Less said about the lucha tag the better, but apparently they had no choice but to put that last since Super Parka was late getting to the show, and they had to keep it on due to their hispanic sponsors. Adam Pearce and ROH probably hated putting this on last as much as the viewers did As bad as it was, i thought it was okay for a post dark match for the hispanic audience but it was a bad idea to keep on the telecast (although it was so bad that putting it in between the title matches could have possibly killed the heat for triple threat). My Thoughts on Big BangThe crowd was pretty bad. They were very quiet, maybe they didn’t know a lot of the guys? I’d assume, but they’d also chant then stop, then chant a couple chants then stop and be quiet for 10 minutes. It was weird and annoying. It mostly happen during the Tag Title match. Not sure how it came across online, but the crowd was hot for the entire show from where I was. I can see what you mean though, the crowd was getting exhausted by the end.

Can anybody explain why somebody thought it was a good idea to have pure-lucha on a ROH show? Lucha-resu I understand, but Blue Demon Jr & friends?

Hella large Hispanic population and show was sponsored by Latin station. Also: CHRISTOPHER DANIELS UPDATE by Mike Johnson @ 1:18 PM on 4/4/2010 Since a few readers have asked, Christopher Daniels was indeed released from TNA this past Wednesday. He immediately contacted Ring of Honor and made the deal to debut at last night's Big Bang PPV.

Wait Cassandro's now in ROH? Awesome, I've gotta check them out.
I like seeing Luchadores in ROH, it's a nice break from seeing people have the same match they have every month.
Oh and has the TV Champ been decided yet?

It sucks that he got hurt and I hope he's rewarded with plenty of future bookings in ROH. Kinda cool in a strange way to see a lucha Adrian Street/Ricki Starr. The guy is good. Keep him as a babyface and he could be a big star in the states.

I think he's got a lot of the qualities Rico had, a loveable gay face.
Oh and Eddie Edwards? Really?
