I think if Hero had stuck around, particularly after Claudio left, he'd be a shoe-in for world champ, and could have even been the one to knock off Davey. I marked out when his music hit at Final Battle, but alas, it was not to be.

Solid show, I think they budgeted their time wisely and advanced storylines while doing a good job building to the main event throughout the show. Not sure what to think about Edwards ceding his win over Davey.. it's not like Jacob's interference really had a huge impact on the match, just a slight ...

A "radio wars" tag match? Stay classy, RoH. It was a bit of local promotion to bring in some new fans, something ROH hasn't been doing enough of lately, or just about ever, really. I wouldn't want something like this attached to a match that actually meant something, but for a mid card ma...

this week as in it was up on the website yesterday, or this week as in its on TV this weekend?

It aired last weekend, it's on the website now

Rising Above was great live.. the best Dayton show since at least Pick Your Poison

Very strong TV main event.. not as epic as their Best in the World match of course, but one of the best, if not the best free TV match they've done on Sinclair. It felt a bit different than some of their previous matches, and the TV time constraints prevented it from going a bit too long like their ...

To me, the triple crown is World Title, Tag Titles, and the secondary singles title. I'd be willing to accept the TV or Pure titles for the secondary title part of the equation, but I wouldn't really consider World, Pure, and TV titles to constitute a triple crown even though it may meet the diction...

The belt was somewhat forgotten during the first few months after the initial tournament, but towards the end of Edward's reign things started to pick up. It may be slightly hampered by the fact that the belt is typically defended only once a month due to the taping schedule, and it has yet to have ...

I think they dropped the ball on this a bit, unless it was just supposed to the the Tuesday Rollout.. no mention of it the last few days on their social media

I really hope they don't drag out the reveal of their identities, whomever they may be, until Final Battle.. the more they build it up the harder it becomes for it to match the hype.

I'd love to see a two disc with the major matches and promos from the entire angle in order, with a separate Steenerico best of.

I'm pretty excited about this card, there aren't really any huge money matches but it looks like great wrestling top to bottom. A Davey/Steen rematch is still the biggest match they have right now, considering the buildup that happened at the previous New York shows and their months-long feud. It ma...

I was at this show.. great looking venue, much better than the shack they run up in Dayton, but I think the floor section was a bit too small for the regular ROH ring, they had to bring in the OVW ring. The web site states the venue holds 880, so I'd estimate there were around 450 fans in attendance...

this thread is baffling. yes, TJ Perkins is a good wrestler capable of putting on solid matches. does anyone buy a ticket to see TJ Perkins wrestle?!?! no offense to him, but for every ticket someone buys to see him wrestle in ROH, 20 people buy tickets to see the Briscoes vs. WGTT. again, no offen...

I guess they're keeping contract information private now? They used to announce it on the main page every time someone signed or renewed. I have yet to see him on TV or PPV, so he may still be on a per appearance basis, but it does seem like he's getting booked more regularly. Hopefully he sticks ar...

Should make for a strong TV main event. I agree, Bennett is improving noticeably during his feuds with Lethal, Storm, and now Edwards. He's got a great gimmick and continuing to book him against top in-ring talent will hide his weaknesses and help him grow.

Hopefully both are brought back in late summer with meaningful matches/angles as they are prime examples of what Ring of Honor should be about. While I have enjoyed the occasional appearances by guys like Storm, Finlay, and Rhino, they are not where the long term money should be invested.
