Best Friends are essentially full-time now I think. Taylor's even done ROH over PWG and I'd consider PWG his top priority prior to ROH and he seems to even be getting a chance in New Japan now it seems which is pretty surreal.

Taylor is another guy who had to wait for it, but who working for ROH was the best thing for him.

Glad to see Chuck Taylor in ROH. Him and Omega had the best name for a tag team ever as Men Of Low Moral Fiber.

Haven't heard a whole lot of buzz about Simon, but at least he isn't getting a negative buzz like Jack Swagger. Color me interested.

Oh, I've seen some marches from Simmon and he's a nice wrestler. This Weekend will be his tryout for ROH, if he works well and gets good feedback, he'll be called for some extra dates.

It's intelligent to make former WWE talent debut un Florida because Florida is a market that WWE owns. Maybe this help to sell some tickets left, I mean, 10-20.

Show looks interesting. Reading on Twitter, people said it was a solid night of action. Rocky and Cody had a 20 minute hardocre match for the World Title that should be great. Plus, The Elite took his very first lost in ROH against Castle, King and Lethal.

The only bad thing that I've read about the show is that there were some drunk fans (they always go to some NXT house shows too). One guy was on the front row, dressed as Hulk Hogan, doing stupid chants like CM Punk, Hulkamania and all of that during the Flip vs Taven match. Securty came to him. Arhg, I hate this kind of people.

Nothing worse than going to a wrestling show attended by fans who are marks for themselves. It taints the experience.

Any word on how Simon Grimm did?

No. Nobody talked about him on social media so I understand that he was okay.

That doesn't make any sense with them about to launch a streaming service.

Plus, who the hell still buys DVDs? I've moved onto Ultra HD Blu Ray. I feel annoyed when I have to settle for a standard Blu Ray, let alone caveman technology like DVDs.

I'm glad I only paid 4 dollars for this after the Cyber Monday and Ringside discounts, because once again, the video quality is just absurdly bad.

This had better stop once the new streaming service launches.

Shane Taylor looks noticeably thinner on this show than the last time I saw him. He's lost the equivalent of a ten year old in weight since he debuted with Lee.

We won't be able to see Soaring Eagle Cup. It was more of a houe show, the commentators weren't at the show. Plus, it looks like some type of thing like Soaring Eagle Casino "bought" the show, you know, they paid money to ROH just to have their show. It is something that Sinclair has always wanted to do. The Cruiser with Jericho next year will be the same.

A lot of people. Not everybody have the money to buy a screen/tv with Ultra-HD un 4K.
