Looks like the tag-title match in Richmond is going to end in a DQ. I anticipate Dem Boys getting involved.

Heel Davey is so much more interesting than Super Babyface Davey.

So it's Roddy/Rhino vs. the Briscoes at BITW?

But where's that lead the TV title? Cuz Strong's got his hands full w/ Ciampa and Lethal as well it seems.

And I'm guessing Homicide/Edwards.

Also weird to not have the tag champs there at all.

Wow sounds awesome. Best In The World can be a great event. HoT - Briscoes, Homicide - Edwards, Richards - Steen, Elgin - Finlay, ANX - WGTT (give ANX the belts, ASAP). Everything sounds good to great. Wasn't a fan of Homicide since he came back, hope now he will be better if he returns for a full-time deal.

Why the are gonna do Bennett - Storm for the next taping? to do this on BIWT could be better. Cool to see Edwards - Richards on the TV, a 15 min match between them can be really amazing like their match on HDnet. Strong - Steen is another great match.

btw what about TJ Perkins, Young Bucks and Lethal?

I hope this is heel Homicide and not "I'm a huge babyface, but I'm gonna Cop Killa Generico for no reason the next show after he beats Steen in the biggest match of his life then we'll forget about it later" Homicide.

Brilliant! Your tag champions aren't anywhere to be seen (Then again, in WGTT's case maybe that's a good thing) and you're giving away the main event of tonight's house show on TV for free.

The booking for this fed is at an all-time low and it's baffling what they decide to book for TV shows now.

A few positives though are them FINALLY giving Eddie Edwards something to do. Him VS Homicide is fresh and Edwards deserves to feud with a star like him as opposed to jobbing to Mike Bennett again.

They're doing a good job with Adam Cole despite some losses and he's really getting some support. I think he should be the guy to beat Roderick Strong for the TV title, hopefully this summer before his losses really start to have an effect on him.

Nigel while champ wasn't featured on the first HDNet episode at all and they did house show main events all the time. All-time low, my ass. TV taping results aren't the same as regular shows - these actually require context to fully understand. WGTT could be in backstage segments, or Cornette could've suspended them for the ether incident...

So in the next MONTH of TV time to hype one of their biggest iPPVs of the year, their tag champions can't even appear in an angle during the show? Every time they've done a major angle, it's always been in ring. I'm thinking if they weren't even involved in the ANX challenge, or did an in-ring suspension angle, they probably weren't even at the show to begin with. I'm sorry, TV is their primary exposure to the fans, if you're not even going to have them APPEAR live, why are they your tag champions?

Additionally, this taping was extremely squash heavy, something fans hated about the HDNet show and something ROH said the SBG show wouldn't be. The third taping in particular has two squashes, then a DQ main event that in the stipulations of the TV title won't go more than 15 minutes. I can't imagine in the context of how it airs being much better than that.

Why don't we just wait for the shows to air, and complain then?

Think about it. How many REAL squashes have there been since the SBG show started? You get ROH wrestlers vs local talent and non-regulars where the outcome is certain, but how many of those matches were completely one-sided or lasted under 4 minutes?

why would we want to do that? people bitch before a show even happens. they bitch when they read results. they bitch about anything.

the internet was invented for crybabies to get their opinions heard. it's been that way two decades.
