[The Dragon Saga]

Well, that sucks.

[Fawrules]

Well, that sucks... Especially since I was planning on actually going to this one. Show looked fun on paper.

I could swear they've held shows in much worse conditions in the past. Has Ring of Honor ever cancelled a planned show for weather related reasons before this one? I mean, I remember countless lineups being re-shuffled because of snow in the past, but can't quite recall an outright cancellation off the top of my head.

[Burnside]

The pre-sale was weak, and if the weather was bad on top of that it would have killed the walk-up. With a stronger pre-sale I'm guessing the show would not have been cancelled.

[WHG]

I think the other issue with the show is that Asheville is in the mountains in North Carolina and not a major metropolitan area in a traditionally snowy area. The risk of getting there and being stuck or having major issues is greater because the infrastructure isn't prepared for major snow. Guys would likely be driving from another city and then you'd be risking more issues for Saturday's Atlanta show, which has a far stronger pre-sale.

I'm sure if this were a sold-out show in Philly they wouldn't even be thinking about cancelling it...but that's related to both the weather/location and ticket sales.

[DXvsNWO1994]

Even with a weaker walk-up, I think the show probably still would have happened, but throw in the weather, and that definitely does this show in. Really unfortunate, obviously. That should had a really good card. Hopefully they do some of those matches on future shows (mainly want to see The Briscoes vs. Shelley & Sydal).

It would be cool if they'd just copy the card on a future show, but change the Main Event to Lethal & Strong vs. War Machine

They've had bad weather shows that traditionally aren't that good since guys can't make it and it messes up the card. Eye of the Storm II was a bonus disc, and so few guys could make the first one they changed it to a one night tournament. If the storm is worse than antcipated, you could have guys not make the first show, and then the rest not make the second and ruin that.

Right now it's looking like the edge of the storm will be what hits us, only about 1-3". but they threw in the caveat that a 25 mile shift can change that amount quickly. I hate driving in snow. Nothing like going out of control with 360 spinning, back and forth across 3 lanes of interstate and ending up in a ditch.

Amber Gallows vs. Veda Scott, which was originally scheduled for Asheville, has now been moved to Saturday's show in Atlanta.

[AssShooter]

Kevin Kelly won't make it to the show, his flight was cancelled.

Yeah, that wasn't much fun for me either when that happened.

[JTCole]

Any results from Duluth yet?

[TYFDK]

This is all from @DannyFnDanger on Twitter.

Pre-show: "P-Dogg" Mike Posey beat Matt Sells

Main show:

- Dalton Castle beat Corey Hollis. Hollis came to the ring with ex-porn star Trina Michaels, apparently.
- AJ Styles comes out for a promo, and is interrupted by Lethal, and they are interrupted by Roderick Strong, and then they all are interrupted by the Bullet Club, and then a big brawl breaks out. Main event is changed to Bullet Club vs. ROH champions.
- Styles for whatever reason gives a Styles Clash to P-Dogg.
- ANX beat Moose Burgers
- Cedric Alexander beat Mark Briscoe via Veda Scott distraction
- Alex Shelley, ACH, and Matt Sydal beat reDRagon and Michael Elgin
- Amber Gallows beat Veda Scott with her foot on the ropes
- Jay Briscoe won Six Man Mayhem. Put over Ferrara after pinning him. BJ Whitmer comes out to try to get Briscoes to join the Decade. Jay obvi refuses. More Whitmer/Page/Corino shenanigans.
- Adam Cole beat Stevie Richards
- ALL BELTS ON THE LINE: Lethal, Strong, and War Machine beat the Bullet Club after Ray Rowe pins Karl Anderson.

[JTCole]

So AJ wrestled after all?

Oops, forgot the Young Bucks were there.

[Big Red Machine]

- Alex Shelley, ACH, and Matt Sydal beat reDRagon and Michael Elgin

Spoiler: show

How the hell do three guys who aren't doing anything right now beat two guys in line for title shots and one of the top singles guys in the company?

[Burnside]

All belts on the line in an 8-man is TNAesque.

[AlexROH]

Two things:

1. ROH says in his official facebook page that we will see how the main event was changed (AJ segment with Lethal, Strong and BC) in the VOD. Does it mean that the AJ segment will be available on the VOD although his under contract with WWE?

2. How was the Indianapolis show on january 15th? Card looks fine and it`s available in VOD now. I haven`t seen many reviews so, Is really worth the price?

[TYFDK]

1. Don't see why it wouldn't.

2. Indy show was fun. I really enjoyed Strong/Curry Man.

Spoiler: show

Well the bigger thing here is that Elgin, who isn't under contract, apparently ate all three of his opponent's finishers and got pinned in the end. I've seen a lot of speculation about this finish and what it potentially means for his future.

[JTCole]

Since Styles wasn't actually wrestling I'm guessing WWE doesn't have a problem with them airing it.
