    I like how I'm not the only one that seems so invested in the show on here.

    whaaaaaaaaaat. Maybe a Shibata type appearance? Or if he's cleared come out after the Junior match?



    Neville vs Masato Yoshino. His best match since NXT for sure, prolly top 3 since he was last Pac. Yoshino has legit one of the coolest moves I've ever seen and they had some killer sequences.

    People say he's improving or not quite there but he'd be the top guy in my promotion. If I was New Japan I'd be doing everything I could to have him around to rotate with Jay. Hangman is top tier.

    edit

    Cobb was awesome as well, they really did have a great match. Zack and Gresham was phenomenal too. This was actually one of the best ROH PPV's in a really long time.

    Cobb/Hangman - 4.5
    ZSJ/Gresham - 4.5
    Matt Taven/Dalton Castle - 3.75
    Christopher Daniels vs Marty Scurll - 4.25
    Flip Gordon/Bully Ray (I Quit Match) - not much of a match but awesome atmosphere
    Cody vs Jay Lethal - 4
    The Young Bucks vs SCU vs The Briscoes (Ladder War) - 4.75

    But match of the night goes to Omega/Ibushi vs Tana/Ospreay. All four all time greats, three are maniacs, they couldn't help themselves. Seeing the fake snow in Korauken after the main event was dope af.

    Omega wants to "spank that Grandpa a---" of Tanahashi :ummmm:

    The powerbomb onto Ibushi was even better, I thought they died

    Edit
    Looking like SCU is joining the Bucks in All Elite with Marty staying. Did the send off angles at the taping last night.

    Bandido is f---ing awesome. I saw in person at PWG vs Taiji Ishimori and it was incredible.

    I have to say though, I'm really surprised he signed with ROH and didn't wait 1 month to see what AEW offered him...you'd think he give them a chance to make a good offer...The Bucks put him in the main event at All In for god sake!

    Maybe without a guaranteed TV deal (that we know of) he wanted the sure thing. He's going to be a massive star for ROH, whereas the stars of All Elite are going to be The Elite.

    Watched the quick video in the article. Bandido’s work looks pretty cool.

    Nah, never got around to it. I’ll be sure to check it out. Glad this dude signed with RoH. WWE would’ve made him abandon his current style.

    He was randomly in the main event with Mysterio and Fenix Vs young bucks and Ibushi

    They basically wanted to show the world how great he is

    They wanted him for All Elite, but with no TV yet he went for the guaranteed thing.
