1st - Robareid - 63
2nd - Dr Death - 58
=3rd - Cabers - 53
=3rd - VanHooliganX - 53
=3rd - AWrestlingGod - 53


A very good episode this week. A very good segment to start the show, a decent WoH match and then two good mens matches.

Allisyn Kay vs. MsChif *3/4
Roderick Strong vs. Tadarius Thomas ***
Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly - TV Title ***1/4

Although it was good, I got the feeling they were trying to squeese too much onto one show. I'd have perhaps moved the WoH match to an internet exclusive, as the commentators were just talking about the previous segment anyway, then given the main event a bit more time, as it was short for a blowoff match between the two. Another five minutes and they'd have been able to show off some physcology, but as it was it was a bit spotty, with not too much time for selling. Still, a very good episode, and a good start to the build to Final Battle


Week 2 - Out of 30

1st - Robareid - 28
2nd - Dr Death - 26
=3rd - Cabers - 16

Overall so far - Out of 100

1st - Robareid - 91
2nd - Dr Death - 84
=3rd - Cabers - 69
=3rd - VanHooliganX - 69
=3rd - AWrestlingGod - 69

Another very good episode. I don't know if it is the booking change, or the fact that we're nearing ROH's biggest show of the year, but the TV show finally feels like it really matters. Everything feels important. Good opener, top star debuting, good segment, mehish main event but solid storyline progression and build for final battle throughout.

WGTT vs. C&C ***
Bobby Fish vs. Local Jobber (I forget his name) 1/4*
SCUM vs. BJ & Titus **1/2

This show was all about the tag team division. It really built up the three tag team matches that are going to be occuring at Final Battle, and it got me invested. I'm most excited for the American Wolves vs. Fish & O'Reilly, but I wouldn't be suprised for the tag title match to be amazing, and I think WGTT vs. BJ & Titus will be a good brawl. I'm really excited for Final Battle and ROH in general again. Yey!


Week 3 - Out of 45

1st - AWrestlingGod - 44
2nd - Dr Death - 34

2nd - Dr Death - 118
3rd - AWrestlingGod - 113
4th - Cabers - 101
5th - VanHooliganX - 91

Yet another good episode. The start wasn't too great but the main event more than made up for it.

Briscoes vs. Headbangers **
QT Marshall vs. Adam Page 1/2*
Michael Elgin vs. Davey Richards ***3/4

The opener was okay for what it was, but it wasn't really good either. I don't see why ROH is booking the Headbangers. They hit their prime when they won the tag team championships... in 1997! That's over 15 years ago now! Briscoes are brilliant, but even they ccan't put on a really good match with these two. The second match was basically a squash to get Marshall over, but it was a pretty entertaining one. Then the post match segment was great, gotta love Nana. I'm expecting such a funny match from Nana and Evans at Final Battle. Finally the main event was rematch of SitS day 2, a match which is my match of the year from the big three so far this year. I had high expectations for this one, and it delivered. It was a great TV match, really entertaining. As with a lot of Davey's matches, I think he went over the top with the no selling, he really shouldn't be totally no selling a German suplex, and you flat out can't use the Tombstone Piledriver as a signature, nut despite this it was still a great match. Nowhere near SitS, but still great, and awesome TV main event.



Week 4 - Out of 25

1st - Robareid - 25

3rd - Dr Death - 131
4th - Cabers - 124
5th - VanHooliganX - 114


This episode was a bit weaker than the others, but it still did a lot to build up Final Battle, especially with a really good video package of Steen vs. Generico fued. Sadly, the match quality did suffer a bit because of them not having as much time.

Fish & O'Reilly vs. Bravado Brothers **1/2
Jay Leathal vs. Chris Silvio *
Kevin Steen vs. Mike Bennett **1/4

The opener was okay, and showcased the new team of Fish and O'Reilly well, but the crowd was pretty dead for some reason and it really hurt the match. Fish really needs a new finisher in the US, as a straight roundhouse kick to the head gets little to no reaction. Some of the video packages were really good in building up the PPV. The Leathal match was basically just an extended squash, but then he put on a decent promo and adds an interesting dynamic to the show, talking about how he "will fight the champion at final battle". The main event was okay, but really wasn't long enough to really get going. Still, a decent build-up show, but the worst of the taping so far.


Week 5 - Non announced


Overall Final - Out of 170

1st - Robareid - 146
2nd - AWrestlingGod - 135
3rd - Dr Death - 131
4th - Cabers - 124
5th - VanHooliganX - 114


This episode was a bit weird. It was all about the build for Final Battle, but the majority of people would have seen this after final battle. Still, a decent show with a fun main event and a great promo from Steen to end the show

Davey Richards vs. Vinny Marseliga *1/2
Steve Corino vs. Jay Briscoe - Steel City Street Fight ***

Yeah, they've really turned everything around. It may not be them, it may just be Final Battle season, but I hope it is and we can get the ROH of old back
