Yep. If you have In Demand, it starts showing on the 20th... I think I saw an In Demand schedule for it. Let me hunt it down.

Thought I read it was $15...
Either way, I'm going to order it when it's available and it will be my first full ROH show (I have seen a few matches obviously). Basically it's going to determine if they're worth a shit to follow for me. |

OK, we can't get it in England, technically it wouldn't be wrong to watch it on the interwebz (if ur gonna get legal on my buttocks!)
Nah, please. I'd love to see it if anyone knows a feed. *BEGS* |

This PPV features Morishima, Nigel, Roderick Strong, Delirious, Briscoes, Claudio Castagnoli, Matt Sydal, BJ Whitmer, and a little bit of Steen and Generico. I might be forgetting a few names in there.

He came out for the live crowd and did a goodbye speech..but since TNA pulled their talent from ROH PPV, it won't be aired

I just watched it last night with a couple people. One buddy of mine has Dish, so he invited us over to see it. Definitely a solid show, and a good introduction to people that have never seen ROH before.

Speaking of the roster, Aries and Chris Hero both have newly signed ROH contracts.

Ring of Honor actually has a damn good roster at the moment, if you ask me. Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries, Takeshi Morishima, Nigel McGuinness, The Briscoes, Kevin Steen, El Generico, Brent Albright, Delirious, Roderick Strong, Rocky Romero, Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero are all damn fantastic. If Matt Sydal doesn't go to TNA, he could be included in that list as well. That's not even touching the guys ROH gets from overseas like KENTA and Naomichi Marafuji.
I've heard the PPV was really good. A review I read put it only behind WrestleMania and Backlash as the best PPV of the year, but they did compliment the wrestling as being better. Considering this was ROH's first outing, and it wasn't even what you'd consider to be them at maximum capacity (There weren't any big blow-offs or anything). I'm really glad Ring of Honor got this deal. I hope that they really deliver on PPV, get the buys they need to take their company even further, and maybe have them start airing PPVs a week after they tape them, and maybe do one every month eventually. ROH is arguably the best promotion in the world for ring work. I just hope they continue to go up. |

Don't forget about Davey Richards, Jimmy Jacobs (when he's healed up), Matt Cross, the sporadic Dragon Gate guys, the sporadic Chikara guys now, etc. Outside of the students, there aren't any real weak spots on their roster. I'm not a big fan of BJ Whitmer or Adam Pierce, but they aren't bad by any means. I love Jack Evans, although some people think he's way too spotty.

Also, in an interesting note, apparently the ROH contracts have health coverage in them. Way to man up and take care of the talent.

At the last minute, WWE fucked him over and pulled the contract. Essentially, he was released before he was fully signed.
It sucked for him, because he dropped all his ROH/Chikara bookings, and cancelled a tour he was suppose to do in Japan for the E. Then they go back on the deal. |

And despite what was reported, it wasn't because of visa or green card issues. He wouldn't have been able to work in ROH, CHIKARA or any other promotion if he didn't have either.

Still... If anyone knows where to watch it online, or when it's done if it's up. Please post.
I'll check Dailymotion etc. But The closest thing we have over here is TWC Fight!, and that's not available on my bastard carrier. |

BJ Whitmer certainly isn't a bad talent. He's solid on all counts, and I have found myself enjoying a lot of his work. Adam Pearce is apparently shaping into a great promo guy, as well. Combine that with his passable ring skills and you have yourself two more solid talents for ROH's base. Jack Evans is also better than given credit for. As you said, a lot of people don't like him, but I find him able to play the face role very well. He's improved substance-wise in the ring, and he's using his flexibility to enhance matches, rather than just inject them with ADD. I love the way that ROH has no issue dipping into other promotions, whether it be for Championships (FIP, SHIMMER) international talent (Pro Wrestling NOAH, Dragon Gate) or to even just pad out their roster sometimes (CHIKARA, PWG, IWA-MS). It's a great selfless approach to professional wrestling, that makes it seem more like a sport, and less like a soap opera. |

It is a pretty dickish move to tell a guy that there's a spot for him in the company, and then retract it because you're idiots and can't think of anything for the guy.
His work at both ROH PPVs has been praised, so his stock should continue to rise, which is good for him. I have a feeling he may be offered a WWE deal when his ROH contract comes up. This probably won't be until 2009, though, so who knows what will happen by then? I'm really looking forward to Castagnoli's feud with Matt Sydal, Chris Hero and the rest of Sweet N' Sour International. Larry Sweeney's group is pretty much becoming ROH's version of The Kings of Wrestling. So far they have: Larry Sweeney, Chris Hero, Matt Sydal, Sara Del Ray, Tank Toland and Bobby Dempsey. So far, so good. |

Seriously, though, give it a chance. For ten bucks, or fifteen, whatever it is, you get two amazing tag team matches, both of which have been labelled MOTY by some people. Plus you get a nice little match between two men who have found success in Japan, plus you get to be introduced to these new entities you knew nothing about. Granted, you might be thinking you don't know them for a reason, but if you actually watch and see what they have to offer, you might take some satisfaction in discovering these guys.

There is no purer way to start your day than some ROH to accompany the sunrise, Mr. Moonraker.
