Final Battle 2015 Live on (I)PPV - December 18, 2015
Re: Final Battle 2015 Live on (I)PPV - December 18, 2015
Is it possible for a post WOTW Y1 ROH show to ever live up to the hype/potential of the card?
Also Taven definitely hurt. That fucking sucks.

Jerry Lynn looks so different with short hair

Fingers crossed Truth gets involved early so Lynn can chase him off and we don't need to listen to him on commentary the rest of the night.

That main event was fucking incredible. ****3/4 for me.

That's kind of the same vibe I got but I thought he was retired and had surgery on his neck or something

Maybe he is better now? The promo and Lethal doing the craddle seems to lead to that, we will see.
PPV was great, total homerun to end the year for ROH. I hope some give Delirious credit for that.

Who knows...it did seem like they were building to that. Either way, that's my ROH MOTY bar none and possibly my overall MOTY.
That shit was fucking great. No BS interference. Didn't go into overkill with kicking out of unrealistic BS like many of the matches before it. That's how you work a fucking main event.
AJ/Lethal or Bayley/Sasha for me for MOTY 2015.

My final (no spoiler) ratings:
Young Bucks/ANX/Briscoes ***
Young/Castle ***
Moose/Elgin **½
Cole/O’Reilly ****
Sydal, ACH, & Shelley/Addiction & Sabin ***
Strong/Fish ***½
Kingdom/War Machine *
Styles/Lethal ***½
Besides the obvious a really strong show. It completely avoided the usual booking issues for ROH PPVs, the commentary was on point for once, the pacing was great, I've not been as hot on ROH this year as I have been in the past but this really ended the year on a great note!

AJ was a total pro in that match going all out with the back problems and a semi main event in the Dome coming also.ROHFan25 wrote:Who knows...it did seem like they were building to that. Either way, that's my ROH MOTY bar none and possibly my overall MOTY.

What a great main event! Styles' injury obviously didn't hinder his performance much.
Oh, and for you "main event has to be a threeway, LOLStylesWins, obviously going to be a screwy finish, no one can beat Styles clean" folks... suck it.
Anyone else baffled by the fact that we had weeks of TV time, promos, and a prominent angle of the Decade being banned from Final Battle and the payoff was like a minute of BJ walking out virtually unnoticed, telling everyone the obvious "Mr. Wrestling 3 is Corino" and peacefully leaving? WTF? Not even anything cool with Page?

To be fair the finish of the Roddy/Fish match was pretty dumb. And also not having a rivalry like Cole/O'Reilly end at Final Battle where rivalries/feuds are supposed to end is questionable too. Although I'll allow it because FWH will be fucking insane.lariat_tubman wrote:My final (no spoiler) ratings:

Here's hoping they scrounge up enough to throw Lethal & Red Dragon whatever they want to sign new deals after their performances tonight/giving Lethal the huge clean win.

Yessir. Those guys deserve the money. Worked their asses off for years for this company. Earned it.

Overall this show did feel like it was setting up 2016 more than it was wrapping up 2015, which could be a positive and a negative.ROHFan25 wrote:To be fair the finish of the Roddy/Fish match was pretty dumb.

I think Best in the world did more for setting up 2015 than this show, but on the other hand this show was great and let you wanting to see what will hapen in 2016.
