Final Battle was pretty good this year. My only complaint is they need to find a way to make their PPV shows feel different from their TV and Streaming shows cause right now it feels the same. I remember the Generico and Steen FB's feeling a lot bigger than this one.

Just got done watching.

Cole/Briscoe was very well done. The tacks in the mouth. Oh lawd.

The Bucks were great fun. When aren't they?

Really do mark for Kyle O'Reilly's matches too.

The crowd here were beyond terrible. Felt forced whenever a chant got going. I don't mind smarky crowds, if you want to call them that, but at PWG fans just have fun. I couldn't believe how little a fukk this crowd gave throughout the entire show. Pay money and sit on your hands brehs.

I don't get why they'll never let Mark Briscoe get the title.

I read somewhere that he has severe concussion or some kind of mental issues that will prevent him from getting a serious singles push from ROH and other feds, which is why he he's put in shorter singles matches or multiman matches to cover it up. But I don't know he comes off as a regular guy in shoots so who knows :ld:

I read some fan reports that said the venue sucked and fans in the balcony sections couldn't see the majority of the in ring stuff unless they watched on the mini tron. But it kinda sucks because I thought the venue looked dope on TV.

ROH has always had the WOAT crowds. The neckbeardiest of them all. They don't pop for anything. Their chants are always wack and smarky for no reason. One of the biggest reactions of the night was when breh in the Ric Flair pajamas botched his springboard. Prince Nana has been giving them fukkery for years and he can't even get decent heat for his entrance. I don't know why Corino or Nigel or whoever bothers writing storylines for these fickle b*stards :wow:

That blue backlight was rather off-putting and when they went to the near side of the ring, it looked pretty dark, so I can understand why it spoiled their view.

I'm just getting back up on wrestling products and enjoyed the show on the whole though.

Watch Field of Honor. They chanted EVERYTHING that night. It was smarky as the cheap seat smarks started chanting at the front row smarks at one point but a good show

I was in the building and watched it back (I tend to watch the shows I go to after to see how everything came off, and in this case to get some of the storyline details because I wasn't really watching the shows leading up), and we sounded fukking HORRIBLE on the PPV. In the building itself it was live as fukk, especially (of course) during the Bucks match. We definitely were not sitting on our hands.

But really, they need to go back to the Manhattan Center/Hammerstein. My boys and I paid 50 bucks each for GA, and these nikkas really had almost NO seats. Like there were three rows of seats and everyone else had to pack like a rush hour train into the space behind them. Compare this to Hammerstein GA which was cheaper and you got seats....I dunno if i'll be going to the next Terminal 5 show if the seats are too steep.

But back to the crowd and what not. Yeah, ROH crowds, specifically NYC are smark city. The smarkiness definitely isn't your imagination. I had a little clique in front of me, one dude had like a British accent and he was literally the snobbiest motherfukker i've ever heard in a crowd. He shyt on the entire Fight Without Honor (except for the thumbtacks in the mouth spot which was brutal here and in PWG), and asked why they weren't wrestling. He wanted "wrestling", and the whole crew groaned over the Death Valley Driver through the table because the shyt wasn't innovative. "Seen that before". I wanted throw ALL of these fukking dikkheads onto tacks.
