It'll still be on the DVD I'm sure. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shown on the 4th ppv, since they'll need to build up the match between the two, which will probably be shown on the 4th or 5th ppv. Really, I think they're doing the whole "We're pulling this because this isn't the image we want to send..." just to further establish AofF as a group, making them the obvious antagonists against what ROH stands for.
Personally, I hope they do show it. It'll give Jimmy Jacobs exposure. That way as he grows into the roll, and is on ppv, people will already know who he is.
Anyway, ROH is known for their "wrestling" but they've done shit like this before. The whole Colt Cabana/Homicide feud for example, which started with Homicide pouring Drain-O down his throat. Hell, Homicide choked him with a coat hangar at one point, and "tried" to cut out his tongue.
The Jimmy Jacobs/BJ Whitmer feud was pretty damn brutal.
They've had two "barbwire matches." I've only seen one... Wasn't a huge fan, but to each their own.
The feud with CZW which ended in "The Cage of Death."
So yeah, ROH is wrestling based, but they still do gimmicky things. Yeah, this was by far the most extreme, but it isn't totally uncharacteristic of them.
