I think they spoiled the listings but not necessarily the results of the pay per view. I don't want to inadvertently spoil things for folks who didn't click on the tab but I see nothing wrong there.

mcmg vs briscoes is a classic but ingobernables vs redragon is more like a main eveny.

ROH has really failed in the way that they have treated these shows (Dearborn, Toronto, NY.) There's no reason for it to be less than two weeks away and there is a total of 1 announced match (2 if you include the Observer mentioning the ReDRagon match) across 3 shows. It just comes across as arrogant in that they expect people to just show up because NJPW talent are there and because it is ROH live.

If the shows are sold up in advance or near they really have no need to announce matches in advance because they are not gonna buy more tickets by doing so.

But i agree that they should have done like last year and announce the card the same week.

Well, NYC is sold out and Dearborn nearly is as well, so...

It's the Toronto show that needs help. It's a Wednesday night show, which is tough, and a TV taping (which can also be a turn-off), and there are plenty of seats left. They should announce stuff for that card.

They have Omega only show of the tour there, i think that will help with that but they no reason to not having announce some matches for that show.

I think they are going to book The Elite vs MCMG/KUSHIDA, they could announce that or the Omega match they have planned and it will sure help.

Any other Chicago fans pissed that the Dearborn card has more interesting matchups? Because I sure am.

And you guys don't have to deal with Colt Cabana headlining a major PPV.

Weird that The Bullet Club has no matches on this show. Would it honestly shock anyone if Briscoes/MCMG ends in a No Contest and gets turned into an Eight Man against The Young Bucks & G.O.D.?

Sports-entertainment booking to overshadow a rubber match that longtime ROH consumers have waited 8 years for definitely sounds plausible. Wouldn't wanna see if Briscoes vs. MCMG III can match the two MOTYCs they had during the Sapolsky era.

I believe they've spilt their previous two encounters (Briscoes won at Good Times, Great Memories. MGMC won at Return Engagement), so this will decide the series.

So you're saying the match that ROH is billing as a "huge, first-time ever tag team bout" has in fact happened twice already in ROH?

The Briscoes main eventing all these shows without any stakes is making War Machine look like real chumps.

And goodness do the Machine Guns feel like a tired act already.

I don't want to hear this... Chicago almost ALWAYS has a better than Detroit. Plus Chicago has 3 titles matches and a PPV. The Detroit show is more of less Tag Wars, with really nothing at stake (although it is a pretty sweet show). Long story short, your spoiled. J/K and Detroit shows have been pretty solid the last few. There were some really bad one's years back. I've always been jealous of the Chicago shows, and made the trip a few times. I'm sure ROH will put on a good show in Chicago.

Yeah, this a odd. Only thing i can think of is that i believe SHelly/Sabin were called the "murder city machine guns" back then. Either that, or the bookers just forgot.
