they are very good! ACH just got one of their main titles, and was in an insane five way. Delilah Doom will be back for the next show, and it's always paced and put together well so you're not aching to leave like Wrestle Circus. You won't see many big names, but Andy Dalton, Terale Tempo, Cody Lane, Gary Jay, Matthew Palmer, and Allie Cat are the usual regulars. They still keep popping around venues, but the next show is in January.

I do love me some Andy Dalton. My first exposure to him was in WC and was always bummed he didn't show up more often. We'll have to see if we can make it out in January!

Edit: the January show has ACH vs Shane Strickland so I'm definitely going to have to make it now.

It was great but the super obvious editing plus Striker kind of hurt it in a few places

Like poo poo just magically teleported around at points and Strickland's back goes from being bloody and cut up to looking pretty OK in the span of a few minutes.

LU's camera work is so spastic I can't watch it. And Striker is possibly the worst announcer since Michael Cole. So Lucha Underground could put on a legit MOTY and I won't care. I'd rather watch cell phone video of some parking lot lucha child deathmatch before I'd watch Lucha Underground.

Ring of Honor Executive Greg Gilliend contacted PWInsider to issue the following statement this afternoon:

"It was brought to my attention that Floslam or Floslam representatives were fraudulently covering our San Antonio event yesterday, streaming video and posting photos to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This has created an illusion that we are somehow working with them. Ring of Honor are in no way affiliated with Floslam and their actions yesterday were unauthorized."

He cuts a basic released from WWE and back on the indies "my journey" promo but its pretty rambling and a bunch of fans start heckling him which he then decides to start engaging with them which just makes for a long and pointless awkward exchange. There's nothing shocking or anything that I noticed. He didn't even call out WWE or anything. Its just a rambly mess.

I was there at the ICW event live and it was awesome.

Kevin Nash didnt do much apart from walk slowly down to the ring a couple of times to stand round looking imposing.

Rey vs kenny was awesome apart from Rey going missing and having to play his entrance music twice.

King of Insanity match was awesome too.

The main event was one of the best matches ive seen in a while too.. Loads of twists and turns.

I think alot of the hate comes from people not at the event.. Everyone around me loved it.. Best ICW event ive been too

That's kind of the thing. Most of the people I read on social media that were mad about Martina's heel turn to join Bram are people who have never watched or will never watch ICW. I still get why they are upset and they are entitled to but still.... If are ICW or a fan of ICW you can kind of write those reactions off as just heel heat or hate.

Did it drag/dying off towards the end of the show like last year's show?

No the pacing was alot better this year.. Alot of people were leaving during angle/coffey last year but the crowd were red hot during the main event this time.. Everyone seemed to stick around for the post match celebrations too

did they show it live on the streaming like last year? I watched last years and didn't like it terribly much. But I'd have thrown a tenner or whatever their way to watch this one. I think I gave up before Angle/Coffey, and I like Coffey.

speaking as a Martina fan, yeah it's a bit disappointing that she's palled up with Bram but she's mates (or supportive of him online) with him anyway so whatever. OTT had a big online protest about Bram coming over, but I guess it's up to ICW if they want to use him.

It is a bit weird because you know, you read that Jon Ronson book about being publicly shamed and how it's terrible, and think 'well maybe everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt' and then Bram does his interviews where he basically offers not much in the way of excuses or innocence, and you think 'I'm not sure I want to give him the benefit of the doubt'.
