What's your problem with Eric? Is it his comments on Chris Benoit? I don't see what people have against the guy.

To me he is a very smart, witty and knowledgeable guy.

He seems to be doing great in his "wrestling career" and his show "WrestlingRoundtable" is also great.

[moralvirus]

He comes off as a smug douche bag, his show is horrendous, whether you look at it from a technical aspect, or from the angle that he and his pal always seem(ed) to pounce on one of their other friend's for having a differing opinion from their own. The man can't work a hard camera, his multimedia skills are non-existant, and he's been using ROH to further his ambitions of being the next Dave Meltzer, only on a bigger scale of fail than what the universe can sustain.

But that's not all.

I wondered why they had Sweeney holding a regular mic while everyone else had headsets....Sweeney is said to have depression issues and every time i looked at him he looked pissed off or un-interested....kinda like he knew his audio was messed up.

Hero vs Kingston = my pick for match of the night. that element of hate is what' main events at big shows like these should be made of...(not to take anything away from A-Double vs Tyler Black)

[moralvirus]

I'm only guessing that they didn't prepare for Sweeney doing commentary, so only had the two headsets. But that can't be right because they had to have known about that special guest commentator coming in, so maybe they just couldn't afford a third headset? No idea.

Either way, you're right about Sweeney looking a bit uninterested. Maybe he was just being professional, but who knows?

wow moral i actually thought i was crazy for thinking eddie kingston vs hero was match of the nite as well but u seem to agree i market out for eddie so hard i was so happy he won

[moralvirus]

It was a tremendous, and almost old school feeling hardcore match. I kind of preferred that to the tag matches that came on later, but it's almost really hard to give Kingston/Hero match of the night honors what with those other matches being pretty strong and looking more appealing to a larger crowd base.

[jackscare]

He maybe comes of as a little arrogant and all knowing somtimes, but many wrestling fans do that, even you sometimes (no offense).

I still find his comment on wrestling to be interesting and sometimes even insightful. That is just my opnion.

It would be kind off funny though if you made a rant video on him. It would have some entertaiment value.

In my mind since the wolfs lost the belts, I think roh should push Davey to the main event because I think hes ready to be champion.

[Leg3ndKilla687]

were in heavingly intoxicated while u were doing those texts?

[gilbertblaze]

That Insane spot that took place between Hero and Kingston was just amazing..being so close to the ring and hearing that..I was like WOW!!!!!! .... I didn't like the ending of the match..but I understood why it ended like that..

Claudio needs to be the New #1 Contender..he's been on such a roll..I feel like its his time to finally shine and Main Event

Kenny Omega...I'm loving and more and more that I see of him LIVE....he's great

[187ARS187]

honestly for me it was a wierd show the roderick strong kenny king i thought could of been alot better... briscoes winning the title virtually came out of no where.. no one even seemed to see the finish coming when they hitthe doomsday device and got the pin everyone thought edwards was gonna kick out. it was just a wierd night maybe it was the crowd we r spoiled mothafuckers lol.

[Allenburg69]

He reminds me of the "Yeeeessssss" guy on The Simpsons
