I like Middoux's haircut.

False.

No, he's exactly right. Jimmy was ringside for Whitmer and TD's singles matches, also cut a promo.

I'm watching Night 1 now. Looks and sounds great. I've been to a handful of ROH shows, watched the DVD later, and wondered "what happened to the crowd noise?" but not this one.

Road to Best in the World Night 2 - Collinsville This is metro St. Louis. A MUCH shorter drive for me. The $3.50 draft beer was flowing and this crowd was every bit as rowdy as the previous night, only MUCH fuller. I’ve seen people say 500, which is conservative and I’d say closer to 600 or 700. It...

I put this up elsewhere but thought some might want to see it here. Road to Best in the World Night 1 - Carbondale I used to go to law school here so I’m very familiar with the area. Good restaurants. But they definitely should have run when most of the students were at university because there were...

Lethal specifically mentioned in his prematch promo that we all know it's Rhett Titus under the mask, so I think it was just supposed to be Taven for one night.

This was taped for TV so it should air next weekend. Lethal getting beaten out of his cheap suit was pretty great.

Reading the preview for tonight and starting to get psyched up again, especially for Silas Young vs. ACH. Silas is my homeboy, but ACH really showed me a lot last night and I'm finally on his bandwagon now. Should be a really good show.

Briscoes will be over HUGE again, I have no doubt about that.

Eh, I don't think anyone expected that show to draw much more than it did. If they would have run there when the students were actually at school it would have been a different story.

Delirious dedicated his match to his recently passed "daddy" (his words) and then proceeded to steal the entire show. It was amazing.

Carbondale definitely loved him and the Briscoes.

Yeah I really don't know why they decided to run Carbdondale during the summer when most of the students aren't around. Go there from September-April and they probably would get a hell of a rowdy crowd. I'm not worried about Collinsville one bit, they did 500-600 in 2011 on a Sunday afternoon during...

Early Thread of the Year candidate if this board still does that.

Got front row for both! And these are better-looking cards than I was expecting even, world title matches on both shows???

Cole was on Busted Open Radio today and was asked about Okada's opponent. Said as of now...nothings confirmed. Nigels working on a deal. Guess we'll find out tomorrow night, hopefully on the Pre Show. Not sure if this was mentioned yet but on his radio show Meltzer said that there's a big angle for...

Weren't the Andersons cousins?

Uncle and nephew, but only in kayfabe. Flair was supposedly their cousin.

Demonstrably false, Global Wars was the shit. In large part because it built up War of the Worlds perfectly, a show that will be even mightier The Shit.

HEY. Mr. DVD Yano is perfectly fine.

Better than Shelton Benjamin, or Michael Elgin for that matter.

If anyone was bad on commentary at Global Wars , it was Michael Elgin. Yeah. LOL. Kevin Kelly: You though it was gonna be Okada, but now it’s AJ Styles. How does that change things for you?” Michael Elgin: You know… it really doesn’t change things. Thanks for totally killing that topic of conversat...

OH YEAH, no doubt about this.

As said before, Filthy Tom is a huge fan and if this leads to a continued relationship with ROH I'd be totally down for more.

I actually watched last week's ROH TV right before the New Japan PPV last night, and you know what? It's clear that Cole defending against Steen in Toronto is the biggest ROH match of this whole tour. Nothing else on the ROH side touches it. Elgin was never going to challenge Okada, I said that week...
