I'm going to miss him on Collision. He's so good especially compared to Kevin Kelly.

Maybe he should have thought before he said P*rnographer on air in front of millions of children.

Really nice ep tonight. Solid all the way through.

Definitely, there was a cohesiveness to this episode that's been lacking from ROH as of late. Not every match was a winner but all of them fulfilled a purpose, even if it was something as simple as getting Madison Rayne a hometown pop. Quick thoughts:

- Gravity/Gringo Loco was my MOTN, I've been impressed by Loco every time he's been featured on ROH and I'd love to see him in a more prominent role

- I really enjoyed how the interactions between Starkz and Athena were woven through the show, there's a lot of potential in the latter adopting the former as her minion and I'm already looking forward to next week to see the story develop

- Didn't expect Stokely to actually do stuff in the ring, it was delightful to watch him get a couple spots in before he ate poo poo

- Great promo from Claudio, terrific example of the progress he's made with his character work since his second reign began

- Dalton Castle was completely deranged before, during and after his match, loved it

Fun show!

Yea, I saw a picture going around the IWC that was bashing TK for not booking Athena and was thinking "are these idiots not watching ROH to see Athena on arguably the greatest run in the extended tony universe?" :sad:

Really good roh.

They usually have some great matches every week but now that there are more continuous storylines week to week, I’m finding it even more enjoyable.

The Athena stuff is so good. What a run so far

Short show tonight, nothing of incredible note (besides Angelico's theme). Athena notably absent for I believe the first time. Emi had her RoH debut.

Still managed two women's matches in 55 minutes.

Some good wrestling but yeah, there wasn't much to this one. I don't mind that much given how hard it probably was to get anything taped given last week's logistical nightmare.

I want Angelico in the Pure division.

I also want ZSJ in the Pure division.

That would solve both our problems.
