Toronto VOD is up! 14,99$! Yes! The shows with NJPW talent always were at 19,99$, awesome to see that they are now at the regular VOD price.

Or Daniels pins Lethal and Cody beats Daniels up after the match to set up a singles match at BITW.

Pretty sure the 2014 shows were $14.99 on UStream.

Yes! But after that, every show with NJPW talent (WOTW Tour and FOH) were 19,99$.

Tomorrow I'll finish the show (it's now 1.22 am here in Spain lol haha), but the first half was meh. It didn't disspointed me bc the Toronto card was the weakest of the tour and the first day is always quiet. Btw, second half looks amazing. Ratings so far:

MCMG vs Rebellion **3/4
Taylor vs Goto ***
Bully vs Martinez vs Page ***
Cody vs Ospreay ***3/4
BUSHI/Naito vs Kingdom ***1/4

Well, the second hafl was stronger than the first one. I would say this show was a mixed bag, with an average first half (only the Cody vs Ospreay was a good match) and a strong second half. Is it the best show I've ever seen? No. Was it a bad and boring show? No. It was just that, a fine one.

Btw, they did it pretty well with the timming with a 9 match card, I'm hyped for the PPV.

- SANADA & EVIL vs Silas & Bruiser vs The Briscoes ***1/2

- KUSHIDA vs Lethal ***3/4 I liked this a little more than their first match at WOTW 14. Lethal worked KUSHIDA's back and KUSHIDA worked Lethal's arm. Great limb work by these two during the 18 minutes of the match. Everything felt natural and was very smooth, the only problem was KUSHIDA pinning clean in the middle of the ring, even hiting the Lethal Injection, the 'Ace' of ROH. Match of the Night, IMO.

- The Elite vs Addiction & Tanahashi ***3/4 Just like at Masters of the Craft, this was your standard 3 vs 3 main event. If you love The Elite, your rating will be higher than mine, if you hate The Elite, you'll find this match kindda boring. 25 minutes spot fest with two ref. bumps, Tana doing his High Fly Flow to the outside, comedy from the Addiciton, Cody interference and Daniels looking great. I've seen this match a lot, but it was good, nothing spectacular. Well, I know Omega pinned Daniels bc Cody made the interference, but maybe, Omega could get a title shot in the future. I mean, I know Omega is going to defeat Okada at Dominion next month to become IWGP Heavyweight champ, but, if he doesn't, it would be cool if Omega defeats Daniels at the G1 Special shows in July. He would be our next world champ, then go one month to the Climax in Japan and then he'd return to the US for Field of Honor. He could be a great champ and appear every 4-5 weeks, like AJ Styles did. I know it isn't going to happend, but it would be better than having Cody as champion, for sure. Omega has always said that he have VISA issues and he wants to be better booked by ROH.

Final rating: 6.75 / 10

Can we please get a clean finish? If they don't think Bully can get over without putting people through tables then he doesn't belong in ROH.
The match was changed to a No DQ, thus Tables were ... Legal. Started off more as a brawl/tornado match... then back to a regular tag, then the tables came in. Bully was the most over wrestler in Dearborn.

I just have a feeling that Omega shows up tonight. Not sure why, but something tells me he does.

Before the show went on air, NJPW and ROH announced a new IWPG US Title, and there will be a tournament for the title at the G1 shows in Long Beach, it's a round robin and Jay Lethal is the first entrant.

Frankie just keeps getting into better and better shape the older he gets. For a while there he was getting a bit chubby, then he dropped so much weight he looked small, and now he's got that muscle mass back.

It's getting positive press, Meltzer called it one of the best North American matches of the year so far on his Twitter.

Assuming Lethal vs. Page will be on the TV taping after seeing the recap of the IWGP United States Championship announcement.

I almost ordered this ppv but I wasn't gonna pay 35 dollars for it without Okada or Omega or Naito in a meaningful match.

Pretty anticlimatic ending to that main event, if you ask me. Totally bit on that Cross Rhodes kickout by Lethal near the end, I popped BIG lol. Still a great show overall.

Yep. They showed a pretaped clip of Omega talking about Cole then said something along the lines of needing a villain. Went dark in the Ballroom, lights cam back on Scurll is in the ring, opens up am umbrella with BC art on it, Bucks superkick Cole and Marty clobbers him with the umbrella.
