This week on Ring of Honor Wrestling, on the weekend ROH celebrates its tenth birthday in New York City, we'll still have the usual TV show, and this time round, we've got an important match for the iPPV that comes after NYC.
In a #1 contenders match, it'll be "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards taking on his old rival Roderick Strong, with the winner getting a shot at Davey Richards on Night 1 of Showdown in the Sun on March 30th. If Eddie wins, it'll be a third World Title match between the American Wolves, but this time in Florida. Roddy and the House of Truth will be out to make sure that's not happening again.
In other action, we get another chance to gawk at Maria's barely covered ass see Mike Bennett in action, as he takes on TJ Perkins. Both men need the victory to get them back on the winning track, which wrestler will get it?
And ahead of his shot at the TV Title held by Jay Lethal, "The Dominant Male" Tommaso Ciampa has a tune up against Guy Alexander. Somehow I doubt Nana, Evans and Princess Mia will be breaking much of a sweat in this one...

Lookin' forward to this!
Is Guy pronounced like 'gi'?
If so, I know the perfect gimmick for him...
(P.S. It's a Guy LeDouche interview gimmick.)
On a side note, big thanks to Steveweiser for doing these weekly. I may not always post in here, but I make sure I at least read it every week. So thank you!

Since I don't get ROH on my television, how will i be able to see this before the 10th Anniversary show? I am a ringside member... |

You'd have to delay watching the 10th Anniversary show, but I think the TV show will be pushing the Mania weekend iPPVs more.

"Die Hard?" "The Dominant Male?" ROH really needs to work on these guys nickname, because those two examples kind of suck.

Strong got screwed into a three-way again.
(Only in wrestling can that not be sexual...kinda)
Good episode tho.
They announced two new matches for Showdown in the Sun:
On one night, it's the ANX against the Young Bucks in a tornado tag match.
On the other night, it's the ANX facing the Youn Bucks in a street fight.

Just watched the main event and I hated the finish. Way too clusterf***y for my tastes. I get that it was supposed to be but still.

Good episode this weekend,Bennett and Ciampa keep getting better and as for the main event...I liked it but would prefer to see some new feuds going on instead of the same guys wrestling over and over again(Even if I like both wrestlers in this weeks Main Event)

Liked the main event this week, but the finish was pretty convoluted. If the goal was to get to a three way, they could have done a better job of protecting the two challengers than having both of them be pinned.

Good show, I have to preface any comments by saying that I'm really annoyed that ROH couldn't make this show available to premium members BEFORE the actual pay per view. I didn't like that at all.
Anyways, it was another good show, Tomasso Ciampa is incredible and he really came off as a psychopath on this show. Young Bucks promos are awesome and that main event ruled.
The ending was sloppy though. Real sloppy. I mean I thought it was well done up until the second referee got involved. Jim Cornette had enough cause to book the three way based on Roddy's cheating, the synergy between Edwards and the referee didn't make sense in how Eddie just automatically assumed the match restarted and the referee followed suit without any formal announcement. It looked like an inside job and I'm sure it wasn't intended to come off that way.
Steen's gonna have a field day with how giddy Cornette was to bring out Davey Richards at the end there. It was kind of weird how Cornette introduced the match. The whole "it's gonna be Eddie Edwards, versus Roderick Strong, versus..THIS MAN!" announcement came off as if we were supposed to have forgotten Davey was champ to begin with. I don't know, that whole segment was awkwardly put together.
