Dave Crist is injured. Bucks will now face The Kingdom and Jake Crist will take Taven's spot at the Gateway to Gold Gauntlet.

Wow. They actually managed to find an even worse team to take Oi4K's place.

Should have just done MCMG vs. The Bucks. They'd be a more suitable replacement than The Kingdom. Or even ANX or find a couple locals like Brandon Espinosa and Ace Hawkins.

elgin is good terms with roh again? ok cool i guess
curt stallion back in roh..good news
I don't think he was really ever on bad terms. Just didn't ha e time to be booked if he doesn't have a contract.
Earlier this year (or possibly late last year) he said pretty publicly that he wouldn't work for ROH again unless it was a joint show with New Japan and made it clear that he was not happy with the lack of communication between him and the office about things (which is also something Cedric mentioned was an issue. But don't worry: everything is fine).

You gotta love Jay Briscoe's promos. I think Jay-Taylor could be a better and more important match for Taylor that the Goto match at Toronto.
Goto is always in lazy mode outiside Japan, and Jay, man, he always give 100%.

Well, I bought this show and I have to show that it wasn't as bad as I expected. It's another B show. The big matches disapointed me, but there were some pretty good matches. I think I'll buy less VOD shows bc my interest for ROH has decreased and I don't enjoy their shows as I used to do.
- Kaz vs Flip Gordon **3/4 Good opener. Flip looked great here. With more time, this could be a better match in the future. Flip isn't doing as bad as I thought.
- Rebellion vs Coast2Coast **3/4 Another good showcase for the young boys. Ali could be a strong midcarder if the work his character. He has a good physique and moves well in the ring.
- Taylor vs Briscoe ***1/2 Match of the Night, IMO. Great old school match. They worked a slow and intense match. Jay gave the 100% and made Taylor look like a monster. Shane dominated the match and Jay had to do a lot of big moves to defeat him. Great story.
- Gauntlent MatchVery entertaining. I don't know how to rate this because it was a match made of 6 different matches. The first portion was fine, with Gresham and King having time to showcase their skills. The second part of the match had less wrestling and more storyline advance, with some interferences and all of that. The count-out finish worked for me.
- Lethal vs Fish ***1/4+ I gave 4 stars to their match at the Anniversary and I was expecting more. This was a good, not great, match. The match had no structure, just random moves and some call-backs to their previous match. The distraction finish with Silas pissed me off.
- Silas/Bruiser vs Bully/Mark **1/4 Boring match. I'm tired of Bully Ray and I cannot enjoy his matches. Always the same.
- Kingdom vs Bucks **1/2 I was looking for the Oi4K match, but I got a Kingdom match. Just like the previous match, my problem here is a wrestler, Vinny Marseglia. He's bad and he has a horrible character. The Bucks tried to have a good match, but they can't if they face such a mediocre team.
- Cody/Page vs MCMG ***1/4 Good stuff here. The best tag match of the night. Cody and Page always deliver. And yes, I'll say it again, ROH needs to do something with the MCMG, they need a title run or be involved in a interesting storyline.
- Daniels vs White vs Punishment ***1/4+ Good main event. Non-stop action. With more time this could have been MOTN.
They had 13 minutes and there was no rest. It's like the two previous Triple Threats Daniels has been involved in (vs ZSJ and Cole in WCPW and vs Cody and Lethal at WOTW), good not great stuff.
You'll maybe enjoy this show, but if you are looking for great wrestling, don't spend 11-14 dollars in this show.
