Final Battle 2011

[ROHWorld_Harry]

That was a complete mess and made no sense at all :/

[Marketh.]

Fucking amazing double turn.

[Motion.]

Yeah, that was a really weird match.

But anyway, main event time, can't wait!

[Nigel LikesGuinness]

Main event time, this is going to be MOTY

[Deadpool]

Fruity pebbles chant. Real mature

[HarpoonIPA]

I just hope the towel doesn't get thrown in to end the match

[Thomas Bobo]

Yeah, that tag title match was awkward.

Completely made Paul Turner look like a buffoon as a referee with the pre-match stuff.

While I agree it was time to turn WGTT, NYC might not have been the best place for it...because that city is just not the biggest group to be fans of #DemBoys.

All that said, it worked out and Jay & Mark got the belts back.

Now, with The Young Bucks and ANX both having title shots in their "holsters" it will be very interesting to see when those title defenses get booked.

[WrestlingMatters]

Tag match was awful, terrible terrible booking.

"Mark my words...in 2012, I will take that ROH World title from you!" - KEVIN F'N STEEN

[HarpoonIPA]

Great show, thumbs way up

[Motion.]

Great match to end the show. Only complaint is that they're were too many exchanges, there seemed to be one every 5 minutes. Apart from that though, very entertaining match.

And the ending with Steen capped things off very nicely. I can't wait for this Davey/Steen fued next year.

[ROHWorld_Harry]

I'm so glad Steen came out at the end there!

I'm gonna sleep on it before posting any thoughts on the main event, it's 5am here in the UK so tiredness may make me write something stupid haha!

I hated the main event. It was everything I feared it was going to be and more. Thank God Steen was there to rain on Richards' parade. Steen needs to win the title as soon as possible.

If you didn't get to see the show, I would recommend everything before the final two matches. Even though I'm really happy the Briscoes won, it was a terrible match. I thought the first six matches were fantastic, though. I'd recommend the show, but I'd say skip the tag title match and be cautious with the main event. It's a match you're either going to love or hate.

Need to rewatch the show to take everything in. Especially the main event.

The Steen-Corino match was a great old-school hardcore match. Awesome moment afterwards too.

Maria is a great addition. Surprised that Bennett didn't win.

Loved Severn brawling with everything that moved.

The gauntlet was a mess but it was, obviously, only there to get everyone else their payday.

Liked the way they switched the tag belts.

[cviens]

I wholeheartedly agree with Jon. The tag match was an abortion and the main event dragged on too long and that whole House of Truth involvement bit was unnecessary.

The main event was Awesome dude, it was world war 3 for both men

I am very interested to read more of your thoughts on the main event.

While I cannot go as far as to say I hated it, there are a lot of faults that I think can be found with that style of match. I have never been a fan of kicking out of multiple finishers because it lessens their value - that would be a primary gripe I hold with this bout.

I am really, really disappointed in the build for future World Title challengers by ROH. As it stands, we have Lethal, Elgin and obviously Steen, even though he is "technically" just reinstated tonight. When he is the one I want to see get a title shot the most, it says more about Steen as a wrestler and personality than anything ROH has done at all.

Outside of those three, are there any other wrestlers on the roster that would even merit consideration for a title shot?

It was the weakest encounter of their three matches.

You're going to have to listen to the next ROHCast to find out! But seriously, I don't feel like typing since I'm using my dad's laptop and the keyboard sucks. I might post about it when I'm on a different computer.
