neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay Lethal & Jonathan Gresham!

[mcmahonfan85]

Lethal is one away from the grand slam

RUSH vs. PCO

[HMARK Center]

Have to think the crowd is gonna want PCO to do it, but damned if Rush doesn't have a strong aura as champ.

[mcmahonfan85]

hmmm, all that smoke, i guess Teddy Hart spent all night in the hearse

How good was Flamita & Bandido vs. Scurll & Gordon, it sounded so great on paper..?

Also, was Cabana vs. Shelley any fun? I should start watching Powerrr again, ' kinda want to see Cabana wrestle more.

PCO better win to have some life to this company. No need for rush.

I'd be cool with the Rascalz jumping out and asking if they're on time for Impact.

It's so fresh to see such a gimmicked match in ROH.

I do appreciate the fact that this feels increasingly like a kaiju fight.

I know the Pure doesn't count, but couldn't he technically be considered?

[mcmahonfan85]

...well that's a new one

all he needs is the Six-Man, and he'll have held every championship (excluding WOH)

When Jerry Lynn won the ROH title, it felt flat. PCO winning would be perfect timing and actually all-time-great moment.

[mcmahonfan85]

HOLY SHIT!!!

[mcmahonfan85]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW ROH WORLD CHAMPION!!!

[chrom]

Well color me surprised

[Deleted]

Okay, I'll give ROH a new chance after this win! It's been 5 to 10 years since I watched weekly. ' will be participating in future threads. Hopefully they learned from the previous "reset" ...

[BitterAF]

TV and tag title matches were fine, otherwise, whole show felt flat.

[HMARK Center]

Felt this show drove home what I've been feeling since I've started trying to follow ROH's weekly show again: I'm genuinely a fan of their in-ring style, which feels a little less "video game-y" than some of Impact or MLW, I dig a lot of their wrestlers and think the booking's been decent on the whole since about the summer...but it's so hard to ignore how much better they could be doing roster-wise and in getting fans engaged if they had a competent/not-completely-amoral management team at the helm. Just makes me think of the talent they've allowed to go or failed to see the potential in, or the talent that, going by the Mercury tweets, they're primed to let go now.

Still, to focus on the positive I say lots of credit to the talent, who clearly aren't holding back. Really enjoyed the opener, thought Taven did a pretty good job of showing how he'll work as a babyface, liked what they went for in Shelley/Cabana, and the title matches delivered in different ways. Nice that they put Manic over so strongly, but they kinda need, y'know, an actual women's division for her to work in.

Honestly in term on who to book they seem to got their shit together

Dragon Lee and PCO are definitely great picks going forward
