Surely Cass wouldn't be throwing punches at Bully Ray like that if it was just them gatecrashing. I was wrong. It was an angle, ROH is already talking about it on Twitter. They just went from bland and boring to actively trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 The match is been pretty decent as ladder matches go. Nick Aldis is again doing good work on commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Rock Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Mixed bag of a show, but the NJPW stuff overall I think was really good. Cobb-Ospreay was insane, Ibushi-Naito was awesome if somewhat uncomfortable with all the neck bumps, the Junior Heavyweight Title match was tremendous, the tag title match was really good even if the wrong team won, and I might be biased but the main event delivered as well.

SmartMark15 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 The two big NJPW title matches were both amazing. Okada looked like a fucking megastar, he always turns up the crowd playing when he's in the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotJayTabb Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 So Bully Ray has apparently gotten some power in creative, which explains why they marked their MSG debut by introducing Enzo, Cass and the lesser workers from the Beautiful People.

aaeo_ Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Taven has to be one of the worst to ever do it, mad at myself because I sat through that ladder match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Man, that main event was underwhelming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 The New Japan part of the show was mostly awesome. The ROH part was... well, ok, PCO came off like a star, really glad for his insane ass. Brody King is just that too. The rest... And the future plans involved Enzo & Cass ? And the Beautiful People (and don't get me wrong, I really like their TNA stuff) ? But this card was sold on NJPW & Omega, not Matt Taven vs Jay White.... The real main event guys were Ibushi, Naito & Okada, don't kid yourselves. So yeah, some terrific NJPW stuff in the MSG, plus PCO coming back 25 years after a cut-short match against Men on a Mission to take some of the most spectacular bumps of the week-end, one year after making himself relevant again at Spring Break. Bien joué mon gars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bien joué mon gars. Yep, pretty much where I am. Although I did like the Rush-Dalton squash and the street fight was more fun that it had any right to be. Went too long for freaking Bully Ray though.

Migs Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Was there live. Pretty good night on the whole, mainly agree with what's been said so far. I'm not sure how well the main event will hold up on TV, but it that reversal sequence in the end really landed in the arena. You could feel everyone's terror that Jay White might win, and relief on that second Rainmaker. Also, the reaction for Muta was insane.

joeg Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hey just wanted to give everybody a heads up the download links on watchwrestling for this show are full of viruses, found that out the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Mark Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I enjoyed all of the NJPW and NPWw/ROH co - branded matches. The woman 's match was just terrible . The Dalton Castle/ Boys , Allure and Enzo/ Cass angles should have been saved for TV not a PPV . IMOO , PPV 's are for blow off matches not creating new storylines. The Ladder match was fine , just not the proper way to decide a world title match. I think it was safe to say that Bubba has the book. The ladder match , street fight and return of the Beautiful People are proof . Hopefully ROH has hit it bottom and will start to improve. You shall see.

sek69 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Madison Rayne suggested bringing in the Beautiful People when ROH asked her for ideas, she left to go back to Impact, so they brought them in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Mark Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think Bubba would have bought in the Beautiful People regardless of Madison Rayne's recommendation . It seems that all of the ROH wivesand girlfriends get booked regardless of merit. Mandy , Kelly Klein and now Velvet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think Madison wanted to do it as them 3 together while ROH was down with it but wanted them to turn on Madison and feud with her instead, possibly replacing her with Mandy Leon in the actual group which Madison didn't care for.

Mrzfn Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I know my tastes can be a bit eclectic, but I truly don't get all the hate towards the women's match. I thought Klein did a good job bullying Mayu, and of course Mayu is always great ragdolling around and making cool comebacks. It wasn't MOTN or anything but I thought it was perfectly good. Was not a fan at all of the post match but that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
