GOD DAMN! This card seriously looks incredible. I won't be ordering the iPPV cause I have to work, but this will definitely get a dvd purchase from me if it delivers.

- Lethal/Rhino is pretty random but I think it'll give Lethal a good win over a somewhat proven opponent. It should open the show imo.
- Don't care about the Embassy.
- Bennett/Lynn is totally fine with me. If Bennett & Storm can have a few good matches (haven't seem them yet) then there's no doubt in my mind Lynn can do the same.
- Wolves/Fish & O'Reilly could be the sleeper match of the night. There's a couple different ways it could go. Obviously the young heels can win, then we eventually get singles matches and another tag blowoff, OR, the Wolves could pick up a big win, enjoy teaming up again, and decide to continue to team up to take down SCUM as the Tag Champs. Yeah, that gets my vote. Freshen up that tag scene while still occasionally give them singles matches.
- Strong/Elgin has been building forever and it'll be pretty damn hard for the match to not deliver. I expect some sick looking back breakers and Strong to win in heel fashion. This will eventually go into a Steel Cage, FWH, or something along those lines in the future.
- I love the idea of Cole/Hardy. Hardy as a heel would be totally fine with me in ROH. I didn't mind his run in TNA a couple years back and this could be somewhat similar to his match with AJ Styles. Another sleeper match that could definitely deliver.
- NYC Street Fight could be fun and should be a bloodbath. Whitmer & Titus in the same match, some bladejobs have to go down, right?
- I don't know what to expect out of the Tag Title match. It's the question mark on the night.
- Main Event will fucking rock our socks off. Anything less will be a disappointment.

Needless to say, this HAS to be better than last year's shitbag they called "Final Battle." Period.


OH, I forgot to say, I think Generico needs to win. Mainly so we can get some fresh Title matches with Generico actually winning big matches. Obvious one is a match with Lethal down the line, plus I could also see a 3-way with both Lethal & Steen. Those two need to settle their differences anyway, so Generico could still have some great defenses against Eddie, Roddy, Davey(?), Rhino, dare I say Matt Hardy, before eventually losing the title to Elgin. BOOK IT!

I think Roddy vs. Elgin could be the show stealer. I would be all over Generico vs. Steen, however they didn't really build it up at all. I think Elgin and Roddy will throw the sink at each other.

Yes, i agree the Rhyno vs. Lethal seems totally thrown together, same as the 3 way, Lynn/Bennett and Hardy/Cole although i haven't paid too close of attention to the shows lately.

I think this about of card as ROH could have put on at this point with the roster they have. I think it will be a good show. And i hope lethal stays AWAY from the main event.

No way they do that because A)., his title shot's not like a money in the back and B)., I doubt ROH wants to screw up the face/heel dynamic any more by getting Lethal hated when they're still trying to push Steen as a heel. More likely is Lethal costing Steen the title, then getting and winning the title against Generico soon after (still pissing people off like how he won the TV Title) and then setting up Lethal vs. Steen at the WM show.

And Lynn/Bennett should be fine but I don't really care about it because it feels like a holding pattern match for Bennett. Of course if the rumors are true and he talked to WWE recently then I can see why.

Anyone notice that Mike Bennett does not have a match at final battle? Maybe Jerry Lynn could be facing Bennett. Great looking card so far I am looking forward to Elgin vs Strong the most actually.

Eh, tbh I really don't care if either is on the show even though the match will be solid, just seems like a random thing to say farewell to a guy that hasn't really meant much to the company (in a good way) yet make it so meaningless as to there's no point in bothering.
