greetings sweeties, let me give you a back massage. for i am a whiz!


love this dude with the rough voice getting picked up by the mics

this has been a really good episode!

e:Rousey looked great in the main. A little lost in points from both her and billie, but a really good match.

It's a shame she's such a lovely person or I'd be super hyped to see her at Final Battle v Athena

The dubbing of the generic music for Ronda Rousey was hilariously bad

My main takeaway from the Rousey match was how much better Marina Shafir has got in the past couple of years.

Watch her indie stuff where they let her fully use her shooter style, especially against other technical wrestlers.

i thought ronda actually looked pretty good in that match, like she was just having fun doing pro wrestling

the standing armbar into croyt's wrath reversal was super sick

anyways thats enough ronda on tv i watch regularly, good show

He hit a gear he rarely does in that match, he's not usually that fast but something about that really kicked him up and he should really keep his game there.

So if Eddie's putting the ROH title into the Triple Crown, does the TV title become the main title on ROH by default?

E: gotta get these ladies in the ring with Haruna Neko and Shoko Nakajima and Layla can play giant

E2: guess you were right Pylons, because they won't even say her name now

E3: I like this whole "Athena creating a monster who (presumably) destroys her" gimmick

I really hope it's the main event. It deserves to be, considering it's been the main storyline of the actual Ring of Honor show this cycle, and one of the best things going in all of AEW/ROH at the moment period. Oh, and the match is almost guaranteed to own, too.

Lexi too. She's had a really good year all around but she has added so much to this story, her backing Athena up in that last promo (pre-graduation) and then her valedictorial performance had me cackling.

Also the world and TV titles are vacant and the tag titles might as well be. I haven't been watching ROH since the last PPV - are they building to any other matches?

We're very likely to get Yuta vs Hook as Yoots won the Pure title from Shibata.

There's a tournament ongoing for the TV title so the finals will likely be there

There's something building between Leyla Hirsch and Rachel Ellering (Rachel supports her, Leyla resents it)

Mogul Embassy have the six man titles, but Kaun and Liona are in New Japan right now. They'll be back before Final Battle so I'd imagine a title match will be set thereafter. My suspicion is that it will include Action Andretti and Top Flight as they're being built up as a six man unit.

World Tag League spoilers: It looks like a match is being set up between Mogul Embassy and United Empire (Great O Khan, HENARE, and a third unnamed member. I'd guess Cobb.)

They fought each other back in 2016 and 2017. Once in Progress, once in Riptide. It was while both of them were working as junior heavyweights, and Ospreay was in contention for best junior in the world, so from what I've seen both are flippy as hell. Can't wait to see what they'd both do with a bit more muscle on them.

A school festival is a festival that takes place at our school!
So ROH Final Battle is a week from tomorrow and taking place about 20 minutes from my house. When I looked at the card on the ROH site it just had the Athena/Starkz and Keith Lee/Shane Taylor matches (I'm also seeing a Tony Nese/Ethan Page contract signing for a match ... which doesn't exactly wow me). The ROH title obviously isn't going to get defended; what else can I expect?

I'm also seeing that only about a thousand tickets have been sold and 2,500 are still available. I know we have Dynamite & Collision in the area that week, but that doesn't look very promising.

I also have the option of going to AEW Collision the next night at the same place.

You don't have to buy it separately if it helps. It's on Honor Club and a subscription is $10.
