No idea. No idea if I am going for sure. Friend of mine has 4 free tickets, and still needs someone to drive. So I will find out for sure in the next few days.
Yeah, too bad I will prolly miss the DG 6 man. But the cage match has BJ Whitmer, so I can live with missing that. |

I know what ya mean about BJ. I'm not a fan of him. With that said, his feud with Jacobs has been amazing... Of course, it is all because of Jacobs... Anyone could have really played the part of Whitmer.

The Briscoes won the tag titles (and apparently Mark botched an SSP to the outside and hurt himself), and the team of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley (MCMG) have challenged them for the titles on 4/28 in Chicago.

That entire show was fucking intense.
I was in the second row right in front of Mark when he screwed up the SSP. It was fucking scary. The match basically stopped. Apparently he has a severe concussion. Amazingly enough though, he was arguing saying he could finish the match. The Jack Vs Roderick match was insane. Some brutal stuff going on in that match. One of the most brutal things was Roderick, on the outside, doing a fall away slam to JAck into the ring post. The 8 man tag was awesome and hella fun. Seriously, every match was good, and the double main events were great. I can't wait for tonight. Also, watching Jimmy Jacobs spear Daizee Haze, and Daizee's shoes flying off into the crowd was a fucking awesome sight. |

Sounds like a good night. Wish I could have made it out like I had originally intended to.
And seeing Daizee's shoe fly off in Chicago was fucking crazy. Can't imagine both of them popping off. She's a hard ass, for sure. |

I admit that I haven't followed ROH too much, but I dedided to go to last nights show for the hell of it. And it was on hell of a show. I haven't officially decided, but I may go to the second show tonight as well.
I saw a bunch of crazy spots, and still continue to be impressed with Jack Evans. The guy can twist and turn in the air better than anyone else I've seen. And the Briscoe's incident was pretty scary looking. I was by the entrance, but he did it off the other side of the ring, so what I saw him do was run, jump straight to the top rope, and immediately attempt the SSP. I didnt the hit actually go down, but at the speed he was going, and with his head not all the way around, I could tell the way he was gonna land. I may go tonight just to see the cage match, and the spots they would do with that. |

I did decide to go to the second show, and it was just as good as the first. We were right by the entrance again, and my one friend was saying shit to Daniels, and Daniels was giving it right back.
Match of the night to me was the Jacobs/Whitmer cage match. It was just nasty looking, they really tried to tear each other apart. Even at one point, they both had spikes and were nailing each other at the same time 10-15 times! Jacobs got the win which was kind of surprising, but he got no celebration with Lacey as BJ piledrove her. Chris Hero brought out his special celebrity friend, Johnny Fairplay. And me and my buddy got one chant started, a "f him up Nigel" chant going to Fairplay. One last interesting note, I saw Little Bastard or Hornswoggle talking to one of the workers near the entrance, but not in plain view. |

Great fucking card again. Apparently Jimmy lost two teeth
![]() Second row again. The cage match was intense, the 6 man was insane, Aries Vs Strong was good too. Overall, the card was damn good. Evans and Doi also did a bad ass spot where Doi had Richards in a fireman's carry, and Evans hit a double stomp off the top rope and moonsaulted over the ropes to Romero on the outside. Pretty slick really. |

This was posted by Gabe at the ROH messageboard.
--------- Since there is so much speculation about Mark Briscoe's injury I figured I'd post this before I get to writing a newswire later. Here is everything from my perspective for what were some very scary moments. Before I get to my story the update now is that Mark suffered a concussion and he will be ok. Right now he is questionable for 4/13 & 14, but he will definitely be good to go for the end of the month in St. Paul and Chicago. First a little background. Mark has been sick basically since the UK trip. He was even in the hospital for a few days due to strep throat. So he was entering the match a little weaker than usual. He went for the SSP and didn't rotate all the way around. I was watching the match on the moniter in the back, which gets the hard cam feed. I jumped up as soon as I saw it and headed straight for ringside. I can't tell you what an awful feeling it is making that run to ringside not knowing what you are going to find. I get there and Mark is laying on his back with a small puddle of blood around his head. His eyes are glazed over. Mark said his tongue and fingers were tingling. We had some medics there so Cary and I immediately ran to them in the back of the building. When I got back to ringside Mark was able to move everything. I asked him where he was and he said "Chicago." He asked me what he did and I told him a SSP. He then said he could get back in the match. BJ Whitmer was down at ringside at this point and told him to stay there due to the head injury. Mark then asked me again what happened and what's going on. I told him again he did a SSP and the match is going on. He told me again he was ready to get back in the ring. I asked him if he remembered anything for the rest of the match and he said no. The medics got to him and while they were putting a neck brack on and getting him on a stretcher Mark kept insisting he could get back in the ring. While they were getting ready to take Mark out, Jay won the tag titles so I told him. He was in good spirits and relaxed. Mark was given a catscan and tests and everything came up as good as possible. They kept him in the hospital just to be safe and for observation. I didn't get an update today, but he is with family now and they will drive him home when he's ready to go. So basically the end result of this really scary accident is that Mark has a concussion and has to take it easy for a couple of weeks. We'll have updates in the newswire on if he can do 4/13 & 4/14 and his current status. Don't worry, he won't rush back and he will return only if he's 100% cleared and ready. Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin is official for 4/28 in Chicago. |

Thing is though if they went to PPV they'd first have to go to TV. And I'm pretty sure as things stand, they feel they're making enough money (actually turning a profit, which is rare) that the hassle of having to put together a TV show (and the cost) would outweigh the benefits.
I can see how it would be very difficult for someone new to get into it though, as most things happen through a run of shows. Unless you're just willing to wait for a sale every few months and play catchup it can get expensive. Jack has improved a lot since he went over to DG. He'd still cause some people to have movez~ or spotz~ heart attacks but he's a better spot monkey than most. |

Right, so I'm looking at the ROH store and I've got a quick question.
There's a 15-20% off sale right now. Does ROH have an once a year sale where they have a higher discount rate or is that the best they offer? |

They have a sale pretty much every other week, it depends what you are looking for. Sometimes they'll have bigger sales on specific stuff, like shoot interviews. Sometimes they have sales specifically on older stuff.
But more to the point, about 2-3 times a year they have a 25% off everything sale. If you really want to hold on for that then do so, but they do 20% off, or buy 3 get 1 free, fairly often. |

That was cool of the guys to take photos with you. CIMA and Naruki Doi are just visiting, but they still take time to chill with the fans.
And ROH is not overhyper. Some of the matches aren't my cup of tea (they aren't bad, but I do think that sometimes guys go for about an hour or so, when they really don't need to), but they have more sports than either WWE or TNA, and they arguably have more entertainment, too. |

CIMA and Naruki Doi are awesome. I just recieved the 'Better Than Our Best' DVD and their match with Aries and Strong was off the charts. Just phenomenal. Also, the Storm-Danielson match from this show was brilliant too.
I haven't been following RoH for a while now, but I'm going to try to pick up some more DVD's and catch up on things. |
