Eddie should have won.

Nothing Claudio hit him with could actually keep Eddie down though, it was only a quick roll up that ended things.

Great show. I'm kinda into TK being willing to punch me in the nuts a few times with ROH. Mark fading to Joe in front of his family is the nastiest end in a long while

that briscoe match hurt to watch. just devastating

I think that Shibata/Yuta match was my favorite, that was just a masterclass from Shibata, and Yuta has come so firmly into his own as a despicable little poo poo I love it. The Reach for the Sky Ladder Match was a chaotic mess that I absolutely loved, sans the injury obviously.

Shibata/Yuta was great. Shibata just beat his rear end and won.

The finish was fine Eddie attempted a way too complicated reversal of a powerful finisher for his level of athleticism and was punished for it

That logic doesn't really stand up though. Clearly Claudio hit him with enough poo poo to keep him down, because he pinned his rear end for a count of three. If he had more in the tank he would have kicked out or reversed it.

Claudio beat his rear end and any claim Eddie's got at being a credible challenger just got pissed away. If his rear end is gonna hold that belt then he should have won it here.

eh, wrestling uses rollups as not a finish that's strong enough to definitively prove who's better all the time.

yea ok

really good show. would've gone with eddie but i also don't really give too much of a poo poo about it. mark losing was amazing and it's obvious he'll be fighting for the world title soon enough. dante injury sucked rear end lol but at least it was on a really cool move. thank you tony.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Eddie saw Vikingo and went "hmm, maybe i could try flippy poo poo to win..." then he saw Kommander, Fenix, Dralistico, AR Fox, Blake Christian, Metalik, Dante, Darius, Fenix and Yuka and went "LESS FUCKIN DO EET"

Eddie hit a big unexpected counter and Claudio was crafty enough for the counter to the counter. Can't imagine seeing someone win via a crafty pin and thinking the moral of the story is the other guy was too beaten up to kick out rather than out thought. Especially when he's sitting there stunned, not laying flat on his back knocked out.

Going for heartbreak tonight makes sense in the grander frame of ROH, they've been doing weekly programming for five weeks. Gotta at least try to plant some seeds to see if you can get people fully invested in this company instead of having them just check in a couple of times a year when a PPV card looks good with the expectation they'll walk away narratively satisfied each time

I thought that was the perfect crowd for it. You have 60-40 pro to anti Eddie early on go 100% rabid pro Eddie by the end.

i only thought eddie was winning because they did the quitting aew angle as a way to have him as ROH champ only and then Claudio dropping the title to keep him in AEW doing the BCC vs Elite feud.

At DBD Hulkamatt and I got stuck in the parking lot for 45 minutes, it was a 45 minute drive back to my condo, I spent like 10 minutes sending Hulkamatt an episode of Coast to Coast for Hulkamatt's drive home and then turned on the scrum and Tony went for at least another half hour.

They were def very hot towards the end, but felt like compared to what I’m used to with aew crowds, there were periods were they were just kind of quiet between spots.

Anyway, Claudio’s final barrage of strikes, followed by the uppercut to the back of the head, then the ricola bomb was incredible.

Somebody posted earlier and it's true, the Pure title on Shibata makes so much sense since it gives a very good reason for Shibata to restrict himself somewhat in what he does physically, whether it's actually needed or not.
