What a great show. FTR vs Briscoes was about as good as it gets for me. I really hope they get to do that a few more times. Seeing Joe in an ROH ring makes me feel 13 again. Really fun stuff.

Really great show. Bought the PPV but this was good enough to make me look at Honor Club. What really struck me was that even though there were a bunch of AEW contracted guys on the card it didn't feel like an AEW show. Everything from match layout to cultural touchstones were pure ROH. And they gave Yuta and Suzuki titles. Love it entirely.

I haven't seen any ROH since they layered a whole load of shite over a New Japan MSG show. That was so much better, mostly because it was at least 50% just an AEW show in disguise. - I remember Caprice doing some New Japan shows and being godawful but it seems like he's improved a ton and him and Riccaboni have really good chemistry. - Haven't seen Blake Christian's since he got stuck in the WWE vortex but he's also got better. He's a really good person for ROH to keep around long-term - AQA/Alize was an AEW Dark match - Never seen the Gates of Agony but that Toa guy was an absolute trainwreck, so unsafe - What the gently caress happened to Joe Hendry? It looks like he got into Brian Cage's roid supply - That was the best Swerve match I've seen yet but he's still got the problem where I keep coming away thinking his opponent is better - Cage was Tully's new signing as I told you. Scoopsgal does it again - I really liked how the Lethal storyline carried on from AEW and the heel turn itself was really well handled - I know the Dark squad said that Willow was good but why did nobody tell me she was adorable - FTR/Briscoes gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress, definitely my MOTY so far - YOUNG BUCKS DID A RICK RUDE lmao - Rhett Titus has lots of abs - Happy for Yuta winning and Woods really impressed me but I too was sad by the lack of Regal - I love that Chavo continued his role in Khan continuity of 'cheating gently caress who's wrestler wants nothing to do with him' - Feels like Gresham's taking the Octopus thing a bit far with that tentacle stormtrooper helmet - Main event slapped though - Hell yeah Samoa Joe Great show, I'm really interested to see what happens with ROH next.

My 11 year old nephew happened to be here during this show and thought FTR vs Briscoes was the coolest poo poo ever, glad FTR won, then immediately was happy about the Bucks ruining them all because they're the coolest. This is my same nephew who's favorite wrestler is Orange Cassidy and his favorite moment of wrestling this year is still "that guy was smart enough to wear a cup against the guy who keeps hitting everyone in the balls to win" I have mixed emotions about this kids picks but encourage him to go for whatever he's down for

He thought Yuta/Woods was boring so I think I have to disown him as a family member.

First ROH show I've seen since probably AmDrag left. loving awesome show. FTR/Briscoes was sensational wrestling. I wonder if Lethal cheating against Moriarty was supposed to evoke Joe grabbing the ropes against Punk @ Joe v Punk II. Especially with Joe returning and confronting Lethal. The crowd was reacted the same way.

I enjoyed the wrestling. Has Samoa Joe broken his nose a few times since he left WWE? My man looks positively English.

New to RoH (only watched selected stuff since I started watching wrestling again because of AEW): Holy poo poo Tony you absolute madman

I saw a tweet that said something like "Tony Khan booked himself against himself on Friday night and he STILL won both shows"

I tend to poo poo on Brian Cage in the AEW threads but I found myself popping for his surprise appearance here. He also seemed to have gained a lot more presence and personality since I last saw him on AEW--'twas a quality squash match!

This was the first ROH show I've ever seen (to my great regret, I wish it had been easier to get back in the day because I would have been extremely into it) and holy gently caress what a show. The Briscoes - FTR match was one of the best matches I've ever seen, and none of the other matches were close to bad. Tony Khan is a madman and he absolutely must NOT be stopped.

It's only been one night but pairing Cage with Tully Blanchard in ROH just seems like a very natural fit. Very interested to see what Tully's Beef Experience does next.

Cage is a significantly better fit for ROH, imo

I'm almost literally salivating thinking about all the cool poo poo Tony's gonna be able to do now that he owns both RoH and AEW. Not use RoH like a farm league or anything, but a secondary show with its own vibe, having people drift between the two shows and giving time to people who might not currently get the spotlight on AEW shows.

That's exactly how I feel as well: keep ROH as its' own thing with some crossover here and there, and put some veterans in there with some newer prospects that might have outgrown Dark or Elevation but still need a little more seasoning before being moved to the main AEW roster.

a very good show but as a newer roh viewer I think they could have booked the pure wrestling match a little better in terms of playing with the unique rules in the match a little more.. also the 20 count didn't really factor in all night. the commentary did mention that stuff a lot but I thought they could have done a better job highlighting some of that stuff in the match layouts, especially since there were probably a lot of new eyeballs on roh for the first time. otherwise fantastic show imo very very enjoyable. really hope to see the briscoes more in aew or roh they're amazing. this is the first time I've ever seen them and I really enjoy their stuff.

this show just proves that wrestling is so easy when you don’t overcomplicate things and just let talented people do their talented job long live ROH

Cage's faults were always being booked as a babyface without a mouthpiece and his bad takes online. He's great as a heel with a mouthpiece doing cool moves.

Also props to Willow. She still needs some training and experience, but she's pretty solid already and had a great promo before the match. Lots of fun, sign her up, Tony!

Does anyone else think there's an opening to bring in another luchador (Dragon Lee/RUSH or Demonic Flamita maybe) under Chavo to feud with Bandido with the way the match went?

Technique can be fixed, especially if she takes some classes with Dustin. She already has a lot of the intangibles that are tougher to teach. She connects with crowds beautifully. When I was watching the show my non-wrestling-fan wife saw her and said "Who is THAT? Her hair is GORGEOUS!"

That was a super fun spot, haven't seen a wrestler get so disgusted by their cheating-rear end manager's antics that they have them ejected. Also really enjoyed the Jay Lethal turn with him obviously being agonized over getting so desperate as to cheat. Of course by the end of the show he seemed to be a bit more comfortable with it, but it was still fun to see.

I said it in the gdt, but Willow could easily fill the role that I assume they wanted Kylie Rae to have with more experience.
