The way they put the belt on Black was apparently really epic. It made Black look like a bad-ass from all accounts, and he gave all three judges a Superkick after the match, didn't he? The fans reportedly ate it up, which is good considering they have soured on the "hero story" of Black recently.
To be honest, while I wish them well, I've lost a lot of interest in ROH recently. I mean, it's completely unrealistic, but hearing that TNA has allowed The Motor City Machine Guns to wrestle for the company on May 8 makes me want to see a TNA/ROH storyline of some sorts. Even if it is just cross-promotion. Hell, if TNA lets AJ Styles defend the TNA World Heavyweight Title in ROH a few times, then it would give ROH their Ric Flair appearances that they are apparently considering suing Flair over. And if it gets The Kings of Wrestling and The Briscoes making the occasional appearance in TNA, I would be very, very happy.
