I just got done watching the best PPV I've seen in years. There were so many great wrestling moments packed into that I can't remember the last time I felt like I got my money's worth from a ppv like I did from this one. And only 14.95, too! How many WWE PPVs have you spent 50 dollars on and felt ripped off? I'm not a ROH "yes man" by any means, but they more than made up for the shortcomings they've had recently. Go ahead and spend the 15 bucks to watch this one on replay (plus, once you buy it you can rewatch it for a year, so it's not like those $50-and up "one and done" TNA and WWE PPVs).
highlights:
-The Guardians Of Truth. When you figure out who they were, you'll know how cool a match between them and the Briscoes was.
-Adam Cole steps up big time. That was one of those "career making" matches. I wasn't sold on the guy until tonight, but he showed a lot of guts and determination.
-Fit Finlay versus Elgin. It's always good to watch a maestro of the ring like Finlay ply his craft unhampered by the WWE format (where he was also good, just in their shorter format). Finlay told a great story and Elgin followed. That was a prime example of storytelling in the ring.
-Mike Mondo taking it to the next level. This guy went to the Attitude Era and the some. Then he proceeded to back it up in the ring with an impromptu match/brawl with Mike Bennett.
-Steen and Richards. That was an epic main event. Read the spoilers elsewhere, and it still may not do it justice.
I'm anticipating the ROH game release now more than ever.

i hope we can get the Guardians of Truth in the ROH game, and as their alter egos in the Legends game.
i passed on this one because of all the iPPV problems lately but from what i've read it sounded pretty good

PS: the past two Chikara iPPVs have been really excellent as well, but in a more "fun and games" way in many spots of the shows. This one was just straight good wrestling from top to bottom. Two different things, both great at what they do when operating at their best.

Read the spoilers elsewhere, and it still may not do it justice. I'm anticipating the ROH game release now more than ever. Great review! I think I agree with it 100%. Last month for Border Wars, I was one of the few lucky ones who despite ROH's streaming problems actually got to see the IPPV (although I even missed the first 25 minutes of that show) live through the ROH website. ROH however still gave me the IPPV last night for free anyway since ROH gave yesterday's show away for free to everyone who purchased Border Wars and for me there was no problems with yesterday's feed at all. Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly was awesome! ANX winning the ROH World Tag Team Championship was awesome! I also really liked how they started the IPPV with the Guardians of Truth and how ROH is making Steen a heel once again (or at least they are trying to turn Steen heel- the reaction by some of the NYC crowd with their stupid "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chants in response to Steen's comments toward them really made no sense to me at all) as I thought Steen in ROH was the best heel in any fed back in 2010. Going to the NWO Reunion (despite Scott Hall's non-surprising no show) on Satyrday and then watching this incredible IPPV on Sunday made for a great wrestling weekend for me! |

I didn't watch the iPPV but I have been following ROH closely for the last year.
I'll be in attendance this Friday for the next set of television tapings in Baltimore and I'm very interested to see where things are headed.
The main event is listed as Bennett-Storm 3 among many other matches.
