I just wish it was still on Saturday. UFC does PPV's on Saturdays, why can't ROH?

Well this is awesome, I mean no one likes a price increase on a product but still PPV is a big step and hopefully this will grow ROH's brand

Possibility Styles gets his title shot here? Especially since he could become a double champion if he beats Okada.

Such a huge step forward for ROH. For everyone who has complained about the disappearance of iPPV, now we're going to have both. I'll definitely be grabbing this on Cable PPV, and I think this is the time for all the supporters to really go out and support this. Don't illegally stream this or anything, let's actually help out ROH. Cannot wait for this.

Mentioned this in another thread, but I don't think so. If New Japan is running a iPPV that weekend (like they did last year on the same weekend with Dominion) then Styles probably won't even be at Best in the World.

Ah that would be a shame. Would be awesome to see the ROH World Champion vs the IWGP Champion considering we won't be seeing it at GW/WotW. Also, hate to be that guy...but anyone notice the name of the show and how a certain person has a contract that expires that month?

Punk's contract expires in July, I believe. Not June.

Punk's contract expires in July, not June, and given Mick Foley's recent post about how much pain Punk was dealing with everyday prior to his abrupt departure, I doubt he's gonna just immediately start wrestling again once he's (officially) gone from WWE.

If he was (not saying he will or won't come back), I'd think it would most likely be at Death Before Dishonor XII in August, seeing how that's in Chicago, but again, no idea what Punk's plans are. If I had to bet, chances of him coming back are really slim (though I would love to see him wrestle Elgin).

That's true, I've honestly been thinking his contract expires in June for the longest time so when I saw this ppv my fantasy booking went crazy. It'd be an amazing way to get people interested in your first ppv but I had my facts wrong.

Seems like a pretty big deal, interesting to see how many buys it gets.

Big news, don't this'll last very long. The price is absolutely ridiculous, esp when you have the WWE Network around.
