IMO the ROH tag title match was the best match.

I agree. I think the last show I liked this much was Final Battle 2010.

On the train going back home and damn that was one amazing fucking show.
Once I'm home I'll give more of my thought on the show.

I'm disappointed there was no NJPW logo shirts at the merchandise table. Did the NJPW wrestlers sell their shirts at the autograph session?

I heard they sold out fast when I was waiting on line for the meet & greet.

Yep, was about to post that. ROH isn't returning to the Hammerstein on August 15th.

Going to the stadium where the Brooklyn Cyclones play. What's interesting is that the venue holds 7500-8000 people. And it's outdoors.

Sounds like NJPW will be back in August because there's no fucking way ROH can draw close to that. Even with NJPW, I think 4,000+ would be a huge success.

Star ratings...I was at the show live so maybe a bit biased.

ACH/Taven/Ciampa vs Hooligans/Watanabe ***. Extra 1/4 for that fucking Air Jordan.
Jado/Gedo vs Roddy/BJ **1/2. Can't believe how good this was.
Lethal vs KUSHIDA ****. Fucking amazing precision and speed. So many holy shit moments. KUSHIDA is amazing.
Doc n Gun vs Briscoes ***
Steen vs Nakamura ****1/4
Tanahashi vs Bennett *** 1/2
Bucks vs reDRagon ****3/4 ROH MOTY bar none.
Liger vs Cole ***1/4. Loved Liger's offense. Cole is such a good heel.
AJ vs Elgin vs Okada ****


Best show I've ever seen. The pacing was good but I felt like some matches had to be rushed a little bit when it came to getting shit in. Either way, fucking incredible. Absolutely spectacular.


ROH and NJPW I love you.

I know that the belts had to come of the Bucks because they are hard too book reliably, but I think it's just about time for O'Reily to go single.

Absolutely incredible show. The young bucks stole the show as they usually do, but the main event, IGPW tag match, steen's, and lethal a we're all very good. The worst match on the show was decade vs jado and gedo,and it wasn't a bad match.

I feel bad for the guy sitting behind me, as he was subjected to the behavior of the drunken idiot next to me who wouldn't sit down and was cheering for such luminaries as "steam" and "jack sword". It's a shame, because the poor bastard was funny as hell trolling the streamer distribution guy.

There were but not many. I waited in line an hour early just to get the New Japan merch and I got everything I wanted. Was sold out in about a half hour after I bought mine.

Considering that you're hard to please just like me, you have convinced me that I should get this show on DVD as soon as it's available. I also heard that the crowd was near Golden Age levels. Can you confirm that?

I can't put into words how awesome this show was. I will however say that there were FAR less idiots chanting stupid shit throughout the night, which is a big plus. Even the Twinkies chant was put to shame. The fuckhead who yelled "Fuck You Steen!" during Steen's goodbye promo was like 50 feet from me and was put in his place by us fans and he said nothing for the rest of the night. They need this hardcore crowd at every Hammerstein show so that the morons who don't watch the product don't get in.

Seriously though. Who the fuck told Cole to wrestle this way? Matt Hardy?

His matches all feel the same and always have a shit ending.

I get in the end we will get the big payoff of him finally losing the belt, but he was a WAY more entertaining wrestler before he won the title. Nigel was a heel, cheated, and all his matches were fucking great as champ. That's what cole should be aiming for

Being a douchebag heel doesnt mean you have to wrestle slow, boring and not fun. Just cheat in innovative ways, talk shit, and beat people like an asshole

The crowd live was great for pretty much everything, thought there were weak spots crowd-wise in the beginning of the Lethal/KUSHIDA match and the main event (burn out).

Everything flowed perfectly. Everybody worked their ass off. All the angles that were done were great. Not one bad match on the card. Bucks/reDRagon was a bit spotty, but it worked perfectly. Steen/Nakamura I think you'll love as well as Lethal/KUSHIDA. No cheap bullshit wins, just a great great show. 100% buy.

I think we'll see that vs Elgin. I thought the Liger/Cole match was actually a lot of fun. Didn't love the finish but Liger is a bit limited. I would like to see Cole work a little more entertaining based rather than pure heel based...but I love his character so much. It's something different.

I love his character too. The promos are always great and he plays a great asshole. But I just fucking hate the matches.

I want a Flairish heel from him. Not Randy Orton
