Thoughts on ROH on SBG 2/18/12:

- Charlie Haas did a surprisingly great job opening up the show. He's so much better on the mic when he's being a straight-up asshole. The usual greatness from the Briscoes here as well. Say what you want about the quality of the matches, but this feud has actually be very entertaining on the promo side, atleast to me

- Kevin Steen vs. Andy Ridge was one of the squashiest squash matches I've seen in ROH but Steen looked like a beast so it works. I'm interested in seeing how Corino will continue to fit into this storyline. Jacobs making the run-in was awesome and his promo was short but fantastic, really helped to sell the angle. This segment really got me hyped for their match at the 10th Anniversary Show

- Everyone is right, Davey and Kyle come off as massive douche-bags in this feud. Hopefully ROH isn't planning to turn Edwards/Cole heel because I wouldn't expect it to work well. Those guys are just too over as babyfaces at the moment especially Edwards. But the promo did generate some nice heat for the coming match

- Edwards and Cole vs. Mondo and Taven was actually pretty decent. Edwards/Cole showed some shades of good chemistry out there which didn't exactly surprise me, both guys are very talented. Mondo and Taven pulled their weight in this match. I know some people aren't fans of Mondo but the guy has a great gimmick and is in my opinion very entertaining and I'm glad he's on the roster. Taven also shows potential but is still really green. Looks like they're planting the seeds of a Mondo vs. Taven feud which has potential to help both guys get over

- Inside ROH did an awesome job of hyping the next iPPV. Solid promos from the Bucks, Lethal and Ciampa. All of the mentioned matches should be good

- The main event was actually a solid match in my opinion. Short and to the point. Haas has made the transition to unlikeable face to awesome heel in no time at all. I'm optimistic about their match. Oh, and the Briscoes are awesome. Just saying.

- Was a weak show wrestling wise but was a great storyline advancement episode which made it good in my opinion

Haas would be fine promo wise with his heel attitude (though wrestling wise his singles matches have been meh) but Shelton would be so bad alone.

This match will NOT be taped for television broadcast, going down exclusively for the fans in attendance that night, and you can expect the whole Briscoe Family to be in the building to root on their family against HoT!

That's silly.

As far as poster boys go, the guys I want to see the most when I watch ROH are the Briscoes, especially Jay.

Really? I know he's gotten slower I guess since his WWE run but I thought he was solid then. Didn't really like the gold hair look but besides his promos I thought his ring work was fine. I think he'd be a good mid card face for ROH and eventually a veteran for Elgin/Chiampa to go over since they're building them both up.

Shelton was totally fine in '03-'06, in fact he had a handful of great matches and I'm sure many will agree, but nowadays he's just slow and boring. He has like 3 moves in his entire arsenal and just doesn't mesh well with anyone on the current roster really. He hasn't had very many singles matches, but the ones I've seen haven't been good.

I respectfully disagree, I think most of Shelton's run was enjoyable (bar the end of his run and his US Title reign). I enjoyed The WGTT/Hardy Boyz feud in 2007 as well as his matches with John Morrison & Christian in 2009. I'd boldly argue that when WGTT is motivated they can go, they got the credentials to back it up.

Jimmy Fucking Jacobs what a great promo. I dare you tell me that emo bastard can't sell a match lol. I never really found the allure of Young Buck's promos but they act like grade A douchebags and the act is growing on me, Matt seems to be primary talker though. Standard fare from Eddie/Cole but it got the point across and I enjoyed the small video package at the end celebrating 10 years. Solid video wire.
