So much I don't get about that reply, as the whole tournament is stacked and should be a great set of matches.

The last show you went to was in the Feinstein era right. Damn, I should have made the connection, what with your attraction to underage males and all.

If you really sincerely believe that, then you sir, must be retarded.

[FlairFanatic]

Im not a fan of the ROH product as a whole.... ive said it many times here. It just isnt my personal taste. Theres a lot of great wrestling there though, and, thats what I go to see.

One match hooked me on this show, theres nothing wrong with that.

...and no, ive been to plenty of shows after the RF era. typically, 4 shows a year.

Did you call eric soon after you posted this so you can get him to bully me too?

Sticking up for your boyfriend? The RF era shot was totally at Ghost.

[nothing to see here]

not a fan of great wrestling,uh ok dude.

[Joshua B]

I've fulfilled my basic duty as a professional wrestling show attendee, and that is showered and put on clean clothes. Heck, I even shaved! See you there!

[Joshua B]

C'mon guys, stand up and be counted, Age of the Fall style. Who among you can say today that they're not going to take it anymore? Who can say proudly that they showered and they'll be at the Expo Center tonight? Take a stand with your brother next to you. We are not going to accept the conformity of smelly wrestling fans. We're going to wear deodorant, but first, we're going to shower!

By the way, I'm 1/2 joking because all the Hammer members I've met at shows have been totally non-offensive. Ok, I'll go further. They've all been downright fragrant. Basically I'm starting to get hyped about the show and I'm just wasting time at work.

[MWS1980]

im fired up for tonight and tomorrows show as well.

[Funk III]

Showered this morning, might shower again before the show. Funk III does not smell funky.

Yes, heaven forbid a promotion not give you personal undivided attention.
Why does this sound familiar?

[Dr. Vinnie Boombotz]

Someone tell me I wasnt the only one who was PISSED that they pulled in to the parking lot for free, left to eat, then came back to find that they were suddenly charging 5 dollars to park. What the fuck is that shit? Good thing those Mexicans collecting the money didnt speak English because I cursed them out pretty bad...

Another great show put on by ROH, not that you would expect any less. The second half was definitely stronger than the fist half, and overall the show wasn't as good as the last few Hartford Shows have been, but it's still without a doubt the best wrestling show in North America today.

I felt the main event, the Tag Finals was the best match of the night, but that's only because the majority of the three way match took place outside the ring and was not visible. Jacobs and Tyler vs Danielson and Aires never even got started as Jacobs ran in with a chair which Aires used and led to a DQ.

At the end of the show, Jacobs got on the mic and cut a promo, and people in the crowd starting flinging trash into the ring which got the security guys really fucking angry, like they were getting violent. I guess I can understand you don't want anyone to get injured, but when 300 people are all flinging garbage into the ring, getting physical with the handful you can catch is only going to start a fight and make things worse. There was one particularly nutcase security guy on the opposite side of the merchandise stand who I saw shove a few fans to the ground and elbow a couple more. ROH really either needs to get their security guys in check, because that was just uncalled for.

Great show overall though, ROH returns to Hartford in October.

[GrayGhost]

Yeah, wtf. I got ther early, so I didnt pay, as nobody did who was there early..

Show was pretty good, if I had been up front, maybe I woulda liked it better. Danielson was really good in his first match, throwing a DEADLY Dropick. Other fav moves were Claudios Giant swing on Eddie, and a Cradle brainbuster by I think Black in his first match.

The Danielson/Aries short DQ was shit, for those of us who wanted to see a match. The fans again, made it hard to watch at times, literally and figuratively. I wouldnt say it was a "Great Show" but again, I dont go to many of their shows. Glad you enjoyed it so much too Doctor. I didnt see that w security, but fans cant be that nasty w throwing shit. yet ROH security has been a bit rough in the past too, so who knows.

Great to see Rachel, Kaz and Jackie, Cyndi, Tony S, Rocco, and others. Also, enjoying the show w Vito and Lou from PGW, Frankie Arion and Barry. Thanks everyone

[Randy Orton]

Good show. My injury allows me to catch some local action. Eddie Edwards cut his hair to look like mine.

Larry Sweeney's stable sucks. Poor Todd Sinclair couldn't catch a break.

Funniest moment of the night came in the parking lot. Somebody had put a box and some stickers all over this fat old guy's car. He pitched a fit when he saw it.

[Skip McGee]

uggggggggggggggggggg. i didnt hate the show but the way the tournament turned out left me feeling like i hated the show

i disliked this show much more than most of the ROH shows ive been to in a while

the titles have been hot shotted around since the briscoes extended run and its getting old. nothing like booking a big tournament only to have a team that already had a mediocre title run win on screwjobs

the only team age of the small legit beat clean was pelle primi and delirious? what a joke. the DQ ending in the semi finals was one thing (though it sucked) but then having age of the fall not being able to beat steen 2 on 1 was totally lame. then they win on holding tights? totally deflated the entire tournament. i dont even care that steenerico lost its how the whole thing played out. no one cares about age of the fall and they have already lost to most of the roster

there was also way too much sweeney. sara del rey and eddie edwards are the only members of sweet and sour who arent worthless. pearce i can deal with but they have 5 people outside the ring and they do nothing

steenerico vs nigel and go was a good match as was team work vs no remorse corp

claudio and edwards was pretty as well

but all i really walked away with was the feeling of getting totally hosed by gabes booking of his "favorites". its obvious hes been high on jacobs even though age of the fall has totally fizzled. the whole revolution thing has been nothing but a few promos of jacobs whining. they are basically just generic heels

i dont know what the deal with pay parking was, that was weird considering they didnt charge at the last show when there was no parking at all in the area. i showed up after they put the pay parking sign up, but i missed the main entrance and went in through the back side, so when i came around the side by the blue fence i just drove by the guys who were charging people and didnt have to pay

[GrayGhost]

Hmm..how would you know that Randy? ..hmm..

The sticker is funny. I didnt mind the box, I was sad there was no donuts inside..damn it.
