ROH Final Battle LD

[Bagpipes]

I realize this is a Lesnar mark guy from the RAW LDs level of earliness, but I've got stuff going on up until show time, and I doubt the likely maximum of 4 people who will participate in this thread will mind.

The Card

Motor City Machine Guns & Donovan Dijack vs. Kenny King, Caprice Coleman & (the most annoying professional wrestler to ever live) Rhett Titus

Colt Cabana vs. Dalton Castle

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young vs. Jushin Thunder Liger

Jay Lethal vs. Cody Rhodes (making his ROH debut)

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals
KUSHIDA, Lio Rush & Jay White vs. The Kingdom

ROH World Tag Team Championship
The Briscoes vs. The Young Bucks (c)

Four Corner Survival- ROH World Television Championship
Marty Scurll (c) vs. Will Ospreay vs. Bobby Fish vs. Dragon Lee

ROH World Championship
Adam Cole (c) vs. Kyle O'Reilly

NYC crowd at the Hammerstein to close out what's been a solid year for ROH with the payoff to a feud that has become the new Steen vs. Generico; Cody debuting; and that 4 corner match that has show stealing potential, should be a good one.

Not sure if or how much I'll be around for the live discourse here, but I'm super fucking stoked for the show. ROH did a really good job of putting together a Final Battle worthy top to bottom card this year. There's not a single match that shouldn't be at least solid, and I have some interest in every match-up.

The TV title 4-way could be something incredibly special.

Also this being finally back in the Hammerstein(my favorite wrestling venue) instead of Terminal 5(which is objectively shit for wrestling) should do wonders for the presentation of the show as well.

Stacked Card. Hyped for this one.

 

[Bagpipes]

I really feel like O'Reilly is getting the strap tonight. He's great in the ring and all, but I'm not sure I can handle him getting more mic time than is absolutely necessary.

 

[Bagpipes]

Also, haven't seen anything confirming it yet but I saw earlier today that O'Reilly asked for a No DQ match. That'd be pretty badass, again.

 

[rbv13]

It has been made a No DQ Match.

Shit, Fite just crapped out on me.

 

[Bagpipes]

It has been made a No DQ Match..

Excellent.

 

[Bagpipes]

Ooh Bobby Fish got taken out of the TV title match?

 

[Bagpipes]

God do I loathe Rhett Titus

 

[Papa Pillman]

Why the fuck are they hyping the TV title match as a three way? The Fuck happened to Fish??? Seriously disappointing.

 

[Bagpipes]

That fucking dork has "big dawg" on his trunks. He's 2 feet shorter and 60 pounds lighter than Dijack.

 

[Bagpipes]

Dijack is on fire

 

[Papa Pillman]

I thought the Kingdom were heavy favorites to win the 6 man straps tonight. But then I thought that Dijak and the Guns would win there. With that victory by the Rebellion, I now think KUSHIDA and The kids are gonna win the new belts tonight to set up the Rebellion as challengers.

You might be on to something there. Would keep the heel/face dynamic intact for the first feud for the new belts.

TEN TEN TEN TEN

Castle in a chariot. Stunned.

 

[Bagpipes]

Castle vs. Lesnar is a match I'd love to see. Both great amateur backgrounds, suplex specialists, plus it'd be pretty fun to see Brock's face when Castle hit the peacock pose.

 

[Bagpipes]

Cody was great on The Art of Wrestling last week, really cool story about how he can feel Dusty's presence at certain events since being outside of WWE and how much he was looking forward to working in ROH.

 

[Papa Pillman]

Love the debut heel turn. Did not see that coming. Very good ROH debut by Cody.

 

[Bagpipes]

I could definitley get behind a heel Cody in ROH. Hope he sticks around awhile. Beyond Cole, there aren't many top of the card heels left since Lethal turned back.

 

[Bagpipes]

He punched Todd in the head, that was classic.

 

[rbv13]

This show has been full of surprises. Cody really turning up the heat there.

 

[Bagpipes]

That was done so well, loved it.

 

[Papa Pillman]

That match was all kinds of fun. I'm really digging the 6 man tag division so far.

 

[Bagpipes]

Yeah that was cool.
