Fall 1

Pete and Johnny look at a pretty great mini's match from nwaclassics.com. The guy's discuss the ROH tv show. Did they have a good one. See what the TWIW crew thinks.

Fall 2

Timothy joins Pete and they discuss ROH Supercard of Honor Night 1, Progress ch 27, and NJPW Invasion Attack. Which show did the guys like the best? Did Ospreay put it all together in Japan? The guys even speculate about it.

Fall 3

Johnny is back and discuss a LOL Edge and Christian show. They break down NXT and Raw. The role of a babyface GM , how it feels fresh after years of it being a heel. Is the role working because it's fresh or are the viewers happy to have Shane on tv?

Yeah, not exactly the Nature Boy of the PWO-PTBN Network.

Enjoyed the Supercard of Honor segment. I need to finish the Lethal match and the main event but I'm liking this show more than the 3/12 Philly one. This is probably heavily influenced by the number of singles matches on this card vs. how tag heavy 3/12 was. Spreading the big guys around adds to the overall quality. I liked Cole/ACH a touch more than you guys did.

 

Interesting how loaded the main event is in SanAntonio. To my point above, that's a lot of juice in one scramble match vs. the rest of the card.

 

My ratings so far:

 

Fish/Daniels ***1/2

Roddy/Moose ***3/4

6-man scramble **3/4

Sydal/O'Reilly ****

Cole/ACH ***1/2

8-man tag **1/2

What other match did you like more than Cole v ACH? I'm guessing is one of them is Rush v Lethal because it's also at 4* but everything else is lower

I'm some what excited for that San Antonio show as a whole care because of the scramble with the comparison I feel can easily be drawn to Progress Ch 27 that we also reviewed on this episode

I have front row for the SA show. I was a little shocked they put the majority of the key talent in the main event .

Copied Brad's descriptions and ratings and forgot to change Moose/Roddy to **** as well.

Looks like it's an instant proving ground match so Lethal will face the winner for the title. So probably a good chunk of the show.

I went ****1/4 on Lethal/Rush and then wrote 1800 words on it:
