@MrDanubioFC That is why i have said on numerous occasions how CHIKARA and PWG have had amazing years qnd are better than ROH

[Paisnaiter]

You complain that the tag title match made no sense psychology-wise, as they were getting booed but acting like babyfaces, then acting like heels... Why the hell were you booing the babyfaces. If the fans weren't being obnoxiously smarky, and are cheering WGTT, this match works so much better. If you don't like a babyface, you shouldn't boo them or cheer their opponents. You should just be quiet. THe worst reaction is no reaction. The fans ruined this match.

[Trademark629]

@Paisnaiter No this partially falls on WGTT as well, because they were behaving as heels once the crowd turned on them. The fans did not ruin the match and babyfaces get booed all the time. John Cena gets booed ALL the time but he still wrestles as a babyface.

It was cool meeting you, bro. I was kind of disappointing that I couldn't hang out with everyone after the show. But then again, the night was long.

[Trademark629]

@crazymike1706 Yeah same. Next time the show will be over way earlier haha so we should be able to chill

[eddydeez]

3 and 3/4s for a match you had nothing nice to say about?

[Trademark629]

@eddydeez Well it was a very good match still. Really good effort, the crowd was kinda into it, and there was good action.

"They just threw out a bunch of cheap moves just to get pops" - And there you have described ROH.

[Offtheropesshow]

I just have one question. 3 out of 5 stars is 60% which was like the median grade for the matches on this card plus you hated how long the ppv was yet you gave Final Battle 7.5 out of 10. How does that work I'm wondering?

[herd4344]

Just watched it. Longest show ever lol, so hard to sit through

[thatrkid15]

thank you for saying the truth about davey

@Ozgood23 WWE nor TNA do 40 plus minute promos all the time. TNA does that once a year after BFG to bring their storylines to ahead other than that, no promo goes that long in either company nowadays. ROH has 40 minute matches or some long endurance fighting spirit match at just about every show. That's redundant as hell.

[xCeRTiFiieDx]

@Offtheropesshow Rating a show doesn't just involve star ratings, it should also involve enjoyment, crowd reaction, and also match quality. BTW, 3 out of 5 is a C rating which equals 7/10 and GOD FORBID IF HE ADDED AN EXTRA .5 TO THE RATING.

[Ozgood23]

@MrDanubioFC u sound like a wwe mark buddy. ROH isn't perfect by no means, but it is the best WRESTLING company that we have to watch. If i wanna watch some old guys wrestle for like 5 minutes a match, ill watch TNA. If i wanna watch some a mediocre wrestling show ill watch WWE. If i wanna watch a show that is all about wrestling, no bullshit, ill watch ROH

[Ozgood23]

davey richards no sold a fuckin tombstone!! who does he think he is goldberg? lol

[Ozgood23]

@kob456 i would rather sit through a 40 plus minute match then a 40 plus minute promo that tna and wwe have started to do these days.
