I have met the Addiction before and gotten my copies of their cards signed and I have also met Maria, but I haven't met Michael Bennett yet or gotten him and Maria to sign my copy of their card so I think I am going to go to this meet and greet at the shops in Planet Hollywood the day before next week's Anniversary PPV. And while I am on the Strip, I think I am also going to use that opportunity to visit either Shake Shack or White Castle both of which just recently opened here in Las Vegas.
ROH teams up with the Las Vegas Fight Shop to bring you a special in store appearance by the Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian), Michael Bennett & the First Lady of ROH Maria Kanellis on Saturday February 28th from 1pm - 3pm

I went down to Planet Hollywood today and met Michael Bennett and Maria and they signed my copy of their card. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian already signed my copy of their cards at PWG so they signed the back of my front row ticket to tomorrow's PPV. Tommaso Ciampa made a surprise appearance, he told me he and some other wrestlers who wrestled at PWG last night drove the entire night to get here today.

I had a good time at this show tonight
It was great meeting Aceldamas tonight. Aceldamas is really cool. Me and him and his friend ate at TGI Friday's inside the Orleans before taking the escalator upstairs to the ballroom for the PPV and then afterward drank a beer at the Irish pub inside the casino.
Before the show started, I got a picture taken with Alberto El Patron and I bought the 13th Anniversary t shirt which is the same as the poster. I didn't get any cards autographed because the wrestlers in the game at the table before the show were the Young Bucks and AJ Styles and I have already got my copies of those cards autographed.
I sat in the front row right behind the Spanish commentators table which worked out good because whenever the action spilled out on the opposite side of the ring (which it often did so they could get it on the hard camera) I could still see exactly what was happening by looking at the commentators screen directly in front of me.
In the preshow/dark match, Jimmy Jacobs and Adam Page defeated local FSW Tag Team Champions Reno Scum. The FSW ring was actually used for this show tonight.
My favorite match of the night was definitely the Young Bucks (who got a great reaction) vs reDRagon. I also really liked ACH vs AJ Styles and Cedric Alexander vs Matt Sydal.
Hopefully with the great turnout tonight it means ROH will return here in the future. Tonight's show was the best wrestling show I have seen in Las Vegas in at least 5-7 years. Looking forward to attending Supercard of Honor later this month in the Bay Area.

So was the finish of the main event as stupid as I've been hearing Vegas?

I don't know how it played out live, but it was definitely lackluster on PPV :-( Reading the review it almost sounds like they were purposefully trying to make Jay Briscoe look weak. I mean come on: Elgin and Hanson both get a visual pin, Ciampa gets two of them and Hanson knocked Briscoe out. With booking like that I wonder why they bothered keeping the title on Briscoe in the first place. The fluke victory plus not actually defending his title for the month of February makes him look like a paper champion. Did the booker forget that Briscoe is supposed to be the face champion? |

Did the booker forget that Briscoe is supposed to be the face champion? some people sitting in my area at the show last night also did not like the finish to the main event but for me personally, although it wasn't my favorite finish of all time, I really didn't mind it. Jay Briscoe got a fluke/lucky win in Las Vegas and, while this town was obviously not built on the back of winners, people get lucky in how they win here every single day. Looking forward to seeing how ROH moves forward toward Supercard of Honor (which I am also going to) later this month. |
