Just read the results from last night's PPV and in the main event, the Bullet Club interfered and introduced it's newest member...Adam Cole, bay-bay!
Will be interesting to see which direction WWE now takes with "their" version...

Yeah while watching the PPV last night, I was really glad to see once the lights turned back on that it was Adam Cole wearing a Bullet Club shirt. Cole has worked great with the Bucks in PWG as members of Mount Rushmore and Mount Rushmore 2.0, so I am really looking forward to seeing them work together as Bullet Club in ROH.
I am guessing it is now going to be Cole vs Lethal at Best in the World and it will be interesting to see who Matt Taven recruits for his new Kingdom to feud with the Bullet Club.
It was quite a weekend watching wresting with Cole joining the Bullet Club and EC3 showing up in EVOLVE on Saturday night.

EC 3 showing up in Evolve was definitely shocking to read. Makes things interesting that BOTH WWE and TNA are technically represented in Evolve. Good time to be a wrestling fan.

I hated the ending to the show, I hate the Bullet Club, I hate seeing people on Twitter and various boards defending this angle as something 'cool' that's going to 'elevate' ROH. It was a 10:00 self indulgent bullshit spectacle that capped off a PPV that Ring of Honor asked people to spend $45 on. Had that ending happened verbatim in TNA or WWE, people would be bitching and complaining that they're unoriginal and have to keep using ideas from 20 years ago. There's nothing original or cool about that angle. They superkicked a woman, which is something that ROH really likes to showcase because every chance they get...they have a woman get superkicked. They brought the Bucks' fing mark dad into the ring so he could get superkicked because hey, they're not going to say no to those guys anyways so why not let them do shit that makes no sense at all? The whole thing sucked and the sad part is that the Lethal/Cabana match was really good. The whole show minus the BC tag and the Liger Burger tag was really good. You could make the case for it being in the top 3 ROH PPVs to date and they did a complete TNA garbage finish at the end. My reaction to this isn't because they're 'good heels', it's because the whole thing sucks. That group is the product of a booker who should have been fired years ago because he doesn't know when to stop himself and now it's poisoning another company. And again, this closed out a PPV they charged $45 for. Evolve's shows range $10-$25 depending on how much you want to spend. The WWE Network is $10. New Japan World is $9.50. There's no excuse whatsoever for doing this kind of finish on a show where the asking price is that high and actually looking at a lot of places right now, it seems like I'm far from alone in not wanting to give ROH money for another shit show like that.
If you were/are happy with it, though, that's great. More power to you but to me, this was the worst way to end a PPV where the asking price is more than a WWE Network 3 month card at Walmart.

And switch is back in the house. LOL.
While I cant say I hate the Bullet Club Ive never really understood why people think its so cool. Lets face it its just an NWO ripoff and they were played-out long ago.
Adam Cole is one of my favorite wrestlers and I didn't care for it when he joined the Kingdom. I think he's too good to take a backseat to those guys and he'll probably be more so in BC.

Kenny Omega mentioned wanting Sami Callihan but then Callihan signed with LU which would make doing the BC stuff in New Japan and ROH difficult whereas that wouldn't be an issue at all with Cole since he's a part of the ROH roster. |
