After Christopher Daniels performance at the last PPV, fuck it let him dethrone Cole.

[Big Red Machine]

I love how Page gets a TV Title shot for losing constantly.

[TYFDK]

Hangman Page vs. Dalton Castle added to Lakeland, Jay Lethal vs. Kamaitachi in Ft. Lauderdale.

Also, the main event of Ft. Lauderdale is a Wildcard 6-Man Tag, much like last summer's Las Vegas main event.

[Mike Adamle]

I kind of expect some extreme clusterfuck booking from Delirious heading into Final Battle. Honestly, I think he knows he's on his way out, and could screw it up asmuch as possible on his way out. I'm expecting Bull James to beat Adam Cole in Florida. Then Cole will probably beat Young clean, sending him to the back of the line. I'm expecting Bull James will have his ROH World Title opportunity at the 10/29/16 Road To Final Battle show. I predict he will win the title there. Jay Lethal would then win SOTF. Jay Lethal would still want a title shot since he'd be screwed out of one at the Europe shows since Cole lost the belt. So instead of Cole-O'Reilly for the belt at Final Battle 2016 we get a 4-way elimination match for the belt with Bull James defending against Adam Cole, Jay Lethal, & Kyle O'Reilly.

Two new matches for Fort Lauderdale
WILDCARD 6-MAN TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT
The competitors will be announced soon.
*** A collection of ROH wrestlers will be selected at random to team up in a very unique and unpredictable six man tag team match ***

Adam Page vs. Dalton Castle

One new match for Lakeland
Jay Lethal VS. Kamataichi
=========================
Sydal was also removed from the roster for the Florida shows. ACH will be in Japan. While the main event of Fort Lauderdale could be good, I find it pretty uninspired in it being another six man tag on a house show and it will likely be a match of unlikely partners forced to get along, which is in essence what Champions vs. All Stars is.

There’s no indication that Johnston will leave. ROH relies more heavily on the individual members of the booking committee than ever and the company will not want to suddenly deviate while working close to New Japan and CMLL.

I don’t think Bull James has a very long life in ROH. There’s no way he is winning the World Title anytime soon.

Booking in general has been much better the past two or three months. Final Battle is shaping up to be a pretty good show.

[DXvsNWO1994]

I think the only booking change that occurred in recent months is that it's no longer just Delirious by himself, and it's more of a committee (like Wilson mentioned).

WILDCARD SIX-MAN TAG MATCH FOR FT. LAUDERDALE


JAY LETHAL, ALEX SHELLEY & SILAS YOUNG VS. JAY BRISCOE, COLT CABANA & CHRISTOPHER DANIELS

[project161]

I would like to have anticipation for that one considering the talent involved, but the gimmick and it being yet another random six man tag on a house show kills the hype some. Should be OK still.

Mark Briscoe vs. Kazarian in Fort Lauderdale
Christopher Daniels & Kazarian vs. Dalton Castle & Colt Cabana in Lakeland
Bull Dempsey vs. Punishment Martinez in Lakeland

[monster mafia]

lets go martinez...TIME TO DESTROY.

[rohfan237]

The Florida shows look fucking terrible.

The EVOLVE shows this weekend look much better.

[Wilson]

What a spiteful main event for Ft. Lauderdale. The wrestlers are going to have to work like crazy to make up for the total lack of any current story in that match.

[monster mafia]

im agree...very wacky shows these two.

[monster mafia]

[Jack]

In the last couple of years the posters are getting so much better. I know to some its not that important but to me its one of the most effective and easiest ways to entice a potential ticket purchase. I also like the fact that they have added the matches to the Ft Lauderdale card.

[187_Joeism]

Wildcard 6 man tag is a good idea on paper but i think they need to add something to the match for it to not feel so random, some title shot on the line or stipulation for the winner or loser.

[monster mafia]

also good to see the woh on the posters.
