Unlike HDNet, the weekly broadcasts will air at different times and for those of us abroad, we'll be seeing it at all different times online too, so I guess we can discuss events/happenings here.
Here's the preview for this week.
SBG have brought some great technical leaps since HDNet. The Haas/Benjamin segment with them holding the belts looks real clear, for instance.
-Four corner survival between Silas Young, Michael Bennett, ACH, and BJ Whitmer (skippable)
-Tag match between Jacobs and Strong vs. Monster Mafia (MM are really damn fun)
-TV Title match between Caprice Coleman and Jay Lethal (Coleman has new music...and it's awesome. And the match is very good too)
-Four corner survival between Silas Young, Michael Bennett, ACH, and BJ Whitmer (skippable)
-Tag match between Jacobs and Strong vs. Monster Mafia (MM are really damn fun)
-TV Title match between Caprice Coleman and Jay Lethal (Coleman has new music...and it's awesome. And the match is very good too)
Wow, really? I thought the first match was very intriguing as Whitmer and Bennett shares history, Young being the badass he is and ACH, while being the only face wrestler of that particular match interestingly enough, displaying why he's one of the greatest High Flyers of all time.
The MM is a very interesting tag team. The tag team division in ROH is nothing else but lovable.
The end of Coleman/Lethal match looked slightly awkward and almost anti-climatic but the match overall was great.
Michael Elgin is back in St. Louis. He managed to work things out and was able to return this past weekend, but he’s not on any ROH bookings at this point and there are issues on both sides.

Jay Lethal vs. Caprice Coleman (fun match with an entertaining "one-inch heart punch" spot)
Monster Mafia vs. The Decade (Monster Mafia rock)
BJ Whitmer vs. Michael Bennett vs. ACH vs. Silas Young (you can probably skip this)
Good for Elgin. I hope him and ROH can work something out. I wonder if they'll put the belt back on him and if Briscoe was a quick fix champ to put the belt on until Elgin got his legal matters sorted.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Jay's title reign ends up being short lived, as much as I'd hate it. Appears to me like the ceiling for his character has been reached a while ago and he may have gotten stale to some fans. May be completely wrong since I've only been in the loop since late May. But yeah, injuries are a bitch in wrestling, especially in Jay's case where he got injured during his title reign.
Firstly, any comparison to Harlem Heat using the N word has no relevance. A better argument would have been the usage of the word when Vince humiliated himself by using it when trying to be down with Cena and then Booker did his "Tell me I did not just hear that" schtick.
The media (I work as a journalist) will sensationalize any story that will generate hits to their site, it's the business. So when you have the ROH champ coming out on Twitter with that garbage he deserved every ounce of vitriol he received, despite your personal thoughts on homosexuality.
I am a big fan of the Briscoes and find them more effective as a tag team, in and out of the ring. I'd absolutely kill to see them in the WWE...back in the Attitude Era. Today they would be neutralized like nothing else and frankly they are better suited for ROH and other indy spots.\\
Personally, I'd like to see Jay hold onto the title for a long reign to see where he can take it. The injury the first time around was pretty much what happened with Daniel Bryan and nobody wants to see a wrestling lifer take a career hit after reaching the pinnacle.
Hopefully ROH doesn't cut any of the Ciampa/Elgin match from this week's TV. It's a MOTYC for sure if it lives up to how good it was live. By far the best match of Elgin's reign and one of Ciampa's better performances I've seen.
If you can find it, check out Alex Shelley vs. Bryan Danielson. It's one of the best ROH matches ever IMO. Also, Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black was pretty badass. To give you a taste...
Both matches are available on the Creating Excellence DVD, which is worth the time and money.
Delirious with yet another D.O.A. storyline. Jeez.
