I'm not going to lie I haven't watched the product since 2014, or Kenny King since he left ROH the first time. But why aren't they giving him anything to do? Is he still a botch machine like he was in his first run? 2 years ago a match with Jay Briscoe would've been huge, not in 2017 though sadly. Especially on a tour where the draw is international talent. Why not have him face someone from New Japan, CMLL, or the UK?
Kenny has improved quite a bit where you don't see that shit outta him anymore. It's a good question why, if they are putting him in a program with KUSHIDA, he isn't in a match with international talent. It sure wouldn't hurt. It's fucking insanity trying to figure out why Delirious books like he does.

So the basis for that match is that Lethal was upset by Bodom at a RevPro show right before he won the TV title in New Orleans in 2014.

Hopefully RevPro puts that match on YouTube, or there's a highlight package or something before that IPPV match. I'm sure Riccaboni will mention it, but we're going to need a little bit more than that.

Haskins and Silas will beat the piss out of each other. That match will be as stiff as stiff gets.

Awesome experience! Woaaah, way better than Liverpool Last year. There werent excellent matches, but neither werent bad ones . the atmosphere was amaaaizing! In VOD it would be just a good show, but live was a blast.

- Mark defeated Smile in a fast Paced and intense opener. Great performance by Ryan ***1/4
- Addiction defeated CMLL guys in an average match. Good spots By the CMLL guys, btw. CMLL attacked Kaz post match **3/4
- Jay defeated King in a Stiff match. Wasnt anything special, but i always enjoy jays work. Jay didn't shake kings hand post match ***1/4+
- 4 Córner survival was your usual spotfest. Fun match. bully and lethal were sooooooo over with the crowd. Bully won and put lethal over ***1/2

- Dalton & Boys retained their Titles in a fun post-intermission comedy match. Delirious was booed ***
- KUSHIDA retained against Titan in a FANTASTIC match. One of the best i've seen life. Tremendous performances ****
- LIJ defeating BC was amazing. It's a match for the live crowd. On DVD will be your ***3/4 spotfest, but live was unbelivable. We chanted everything without stop and we enjoyed each and every Second of the match, wonderful wonderful experience ****1/4

I would say, for VOD viewers that it was a Strong B show, in the level or better than the one in Liverpool Last year. The matches were good and you'll see a lot of talent. My experience live? 10/10.

Show was pretty good, had bits of everything, lots of fun and it was cool seeing so many kids into it. They knew all the guys too which is impressive.

I met Greg Gilliland before the show, he was standing near the merch table wearing a suit, had a two minute conversation with him, said that they love coming to the UK and their excited to do a lot more overseas. I asked him about ROH on UK TV, he said it was being discussed and that's all he could say. Seemed like a nice dude, meant business.
