Official "Wrestling's Finest" (Pittsburgh 1/25) Thread

It sucks for Roddy, but i am glad they gave the ball to Cedric Alexander, he is going to run with it for sure, and they said we still going to have London vs Roddy 2/3 falls when Roddy is ok so no problem at all.

I am glad Everett is here, he can be the perfect opener guy when he is paying his dues.

[Rooskie]

I loved Strong-London I, but as good as the rematch would have been, Cedric-London should be that much better IMHO.

[JigsawVs.Jason]

I agree with the majority: the 2 out of 3 Falls would have been cool, but I love the singles opportunity Cedric gets even more: this match should finally solidify him as a potential breakout star in singles competition in ROH.
Also love Everett is booked, so actually I think this card has gotten even better; plus we will still get to see London/Strong at a later show; everything's lining up perfectly for an epic 2014 for ROH!

[187_Joeism]

I hope we get to see Cedric vs Everett wich it seems it was the original match of this show in a future one too, they can tear the roof off for sure.

I'm guessing it ends up Everett-Marseglia

Gotta ask...why Marseglia?

And that Briscoes promo. Fantastic.

[Northwoods_Nightmare]

More excited for Alexander vs London, especially since we'll still get the 2/3 falls eventually.

[Mountaineer]

Wonder if any wrestling personalities will be in the building? Justin LaBar and David Herro have that Kevin Nash event across town. Could be fun to see.

Wish Court Bauer was coming.

I'll be in the 3rd row likely wearing an Anonymous shirt if anybody wants to say hello.

There was no reason for London to win because Roddy just started in a new stable. You can't have a guy coming off the heels of such a formation lose his first match.

Spoiler: show

He already lost his first match to AJ Styles

At the same time though, do you really think a heel Adam Cole vs. heel Roderick Strong would work? They had great matches last year, but since they're both heel now it'd be next to impossible. I think London was a shoe in to win had the 2/3 Falls Match taken place. Cole/London is a bigger match.

I think the fact he was Cole's second challenger for the title already makes him getting another shot so soon a bad idea. I have nothing against another one later on down the line.

Yeah, I'm debating about when to get down there. Roads were clear but they're starting to get rewhitened. I probably ought just grab dinner down there early, hit some stuff in the Strip which starts at the convention center anyway.

[BrandenScott]

which way are you coming from? Looking for someone to car pool with? Split the parking or something?

[Shook1]

I just left after meeting Chris Jericho and got home in about seven minutes, roads were fine. Parking is flat rate event parking, $10.

[BrandenScott]

Awesome news Shook. Look forward to seeing ya buddy. Lets get this Royal Weekend started

[fudge]

Impossible to say. The one thing about Rostraver (and the only thing) was that there was no way that was going to be filled to capacity. I have no idea which ballroom they have and what the seating arrangement is and what the capacity will be. I think someone said due to early sales they expanded the number of tickets available. OTOH they literally have to pay for each seat they want in there (union only shop, only union handles chairs, each chair costs x to do anything with.) So I can't see them telling them to add a couple hundred seats on a whim since that's close to a thousand dollars, if the prices quoted to me are still in effect.
