Pretty meh card. Hope Cole wins, probably won't.

I thought Border Wars tonight was good but definitely not as good as last year's Border Wars for which I saw live and then also bought the DVD (I won't be ordering the DVD for this year's show.)

Can anybody tell me why ROH is hinting to the possibility of turning Adam Cole heel and looking to join SCUM? I didn't get to see the iPPV (I don't have broadband at home), but from what I've heard on ROH TV last weekend, Steve Corino came out in the middle of the match and tried to offer Adam a SCUM T-Shirt in an attempt to recruit him. Then apparently after the match, Adam looked to super kick Jay Briscoe after their match.

Then cut to last weekend's episode of ROH TV when Adam Cole took on Kevin Steen in the main event. As Kevin Steen was stepping through the ropes to argue with Corino, Adam dropkicks him on his left knee into the middle rope (which I would probably do as well if the opportunity presented itself given the circumstance). But then near the end of the match as the referee was distracted trying to get Cliff Compton away from the ring area, Jimmy Jacobs comes in and blasts Kevin with a chain as Adam was on his hands and knees on the mat (and I swear to God, Adam looked like he was just watching Jimmy and doing nothing to stop him) before Adam came up behind Kevin and pinned him with the FLORIDA KEY, which leads me to believe that Adam may indeed be looking to turn heel and join SCUM. My question is, why? What'd be the story behind him joining SCUM if he were to join? He's getting title shots from Nigel McGuinness. He's getting tons of respect from all of the ROH members. This doesn't make sense.

Because it's lazy booking. Assuming they throw Cole in with the NWO, I mean Aces and... SCUM, it is going to start looking like the other factions I just mentioned. These groups become a catch-all for talent that has lost momentum or that they don't know what to do with. I really hope ROH isn't going down that path but it's starting to look like it.

They're going to turn him heel because all the morons on Twitter want to see Panama City Playboy in ROH but they fail to realize that ROH won't even come close to letting him do with it what PWG did.
