Figured we'd do one for this show.

Show seemed to exceed many peoples expectations

It having a MOTY candidate on it alone and I'll give it a 9. Would have probably been a 10 if Dralistico's brain didn't shut off

The last few weeks I was VERY unhype for this but it was super fun and AEW/ROH still gives me the best "heels getting what's coming to them" in wrestling today even if I have to wait a bit for it, the main event's finish was genius

debated between 6 or 7. Went 7.

Not nearly as sold on the sloppy chain match as everyone else with very blatant gigging jobs including the ref but it was a fun show in spurts.

Castle is always a good time and Taylor always impresses me.

Swerve's turn felt anticlimactic how it was done and Dralistico completely botched the ending of the opening bout.

The Jericho ending was fun but rather odd in how it was executed.

Production was lacking besides the entrance including them botching multiple queues like Dax with the mic in the ring.

It was fun for what it is but I am not sure where ROH is headed at this point.

I went with a 9 - super strong show with a MOTY contender.

I'm thinking I'll order the replay tomorrow. I really like the results (as sad as I am with Dalton losing)

I had to stop after the FTR/Briscoes match. It got way too late for me. That match boosted it to a 7, but I won't vote because I have yet to see the rest. It was great to once have a pay per view I could at least partly watch live. Being able to take part in the live thread made it a vastly more enjoyable experience.

Totally agree. I only get to do so once, maybe twice a year if I'm lucky, due to work, and I always have a blast and wish I could do it more often.

10/10 for me, but I'm also an old-timer ROH fan who was just thrilled to see that the promotion is really going to be up and running for real again soon, even if it'll be on Honor Club for now.

Really strong card top to bottom, no clunkers, well-paced, and a MOTY candidate, plus some excitement about who got over and what that might mean for the promotion moving forward, not sure what else I could've asked for besides "find a reason to bring Nigel McGuinness back".

Major points to the women's match - between Athena/Mercedes and Hayter/Storm, I'm officially all on board for strong style women's title matches as often as possible.

Great story in Swerve In Our Glory vs. STP, and I'm just thrilled to see Taylor back again, dude absolutely brings it.

Anything Samoa Joe does makes me mark out, and since this was a ROH show he even broke out the Ole Ole Kick. Say it every time, but any time he's on a ROH-branded show I just wish the screen behind him said "DAD'S HOME".

Loved the creativity in the Pure title match, it was different from most Pure matches in history but really used the rules effectively to tell its story...and I absolutely lost it (in a good way) in the main event when Jericho submitted to the swing, fantastic.

And yeah, what else can you say about the dog collar match that hasn't been said?

So yeah, whenever I see one of these Khan-produced ROH cards, I can tell he's a guy who's just a bit older than me who also got into ROH in the early days and hasn't let that go. But Tony, dude, bring back the sheet metal barricades.

I would love to see Nigel McGuinness in ROH!
