I think it's pretty obvious Kevin Steen will retain the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor X tomorrow, but what's really up in the air is who'll walk away with the ROH World Tag Team Championships.

Has anyone else been following the tournament? I like the dynamic Charlie Haas and Rhett Titus have, but I don't know that they're meant to go all the way. I guess the Briscoes beat them in the semis and then SCUM take out the whole thing to make Jim Cornette have a nervous breakdown of sorts?

I'm looking forward to House of Truth vs. the Irish Airborne too. I've never seen the Irish guys, but Michael Elgin and Roderick Strong are two of my favourites in ROH at the moment so they should go gangbusters!

Homicide vs. Jay Lethal is a very interesting match-up too. TNA dropped the ball letting these two go, and I hope Homicide is on form tomorrow to put on one hell of a match.

Who's ordering the show? If you're worried about the iPPV problems ROH had earlier this year I can attest that as of Boiling Point (which I ordered) things have been spot-on. If anything you should be worried the iPPV quality is too good. I think I used up about 5GB watching the show last time.

Don't let that put you off though - should be a great show!

Nah. Ill split the cost with you Double D if you give me your ROH login

Ill be grabbing a borrow of the show from the interwebs at some point.
But to be honest, ROH has been pretty much hit or miss in the past few months.
Aside from their iPPVs tech issues, they have still delivered some quality match ups... just the over all vibe from many in the know, who have commented on the problems the company has been having, honestly it has kind of sucked the life out of the promotion for me lately. Also I just cant get past Steen as champion. His push started out strong, after being forced out of ROH, and it built up nicely for a while, then it all just became very much a Meh flavoured bore, then he wins the belt and goes on to reign as ROHs rarther underwelming champion.
Dont get me wrong... Im loving having Corino very much in the thick of things again, just never been a Steen mark.
Though, I would think his match with Rhino should be at least entertaining.
Not fussed on the return of Matt Hardy, but then again... here's hoping for a vocal smarky crowd, who'll flame Hardy for his past moronic outbursts.
Still big fan of #Dem Boys, just dont think Haas & Titus are a bankable team... after a few weeks as a team and with the "trusting" Shelton drama, it just seems to be excessive distractions, which will hurt the over all match.

If ROH was mispelling for PWG... then maybe.

I've been keeping a lil eye on the tag tournament and to be honest I'd actually not be shocked if Hass and Titus do win or at the least make the final and lose to Corino and Jacobs .The Briscoes will more or less chase whoever wins most likely.

Irish Airbourne I think have been in ROH before but it was a few years back and I'd expect the HOT to win though considering all has not been harmonious lately I can see an upset with Strong and Elgin mis comunicating furthering their issue.

Homicide-Lethal should be good considering they've faced off in ROH and TNA.I'm intrested to see if Lethal goes more heel as Cornette said he didn't think he was evil enough to face Steen .

Not able to order the show but will be keeping a close eye on the results.

And thats my 5 cents on ROH

Irish Airborne made appearences in ROH back in 2006, they were a pretty cool team if I remember correctly, high flyers

iPPV problems...

Don't watch ROH but read all results when I can, Did Young Bucks not enter Tag Title tournament? I am looking for Corino/Jacobs to win so they can hold all the titles.

Hoping American Wolves decide to have another run, and also hope they push Titus in the next year, make King look like the Harris of the team.

Young Bucks are wrestling at the king of trios in Chikra and had been eliminated earlier by Caprice abd Alexander. As for the American Wolves getting back together hmm can't see it as both guys are pretty much doing well enough as singles. Lastly agree Titus should get a push due to staying in ROH while King went.

Anyways thats my 5 cents on that.

Davey Richards had been slotted in for a roh return at DB4DX. But his relationship with the company is strained at best, so doubt it would result in a prolonged return, well that and his japan and europe options have him pretty much booked up.
Even though he is officially under contract to ROH untill August next year, with his training to be a paramedic, overseas booking and his almost annual announcement of wanting to retire "Next Year", his refusal to reform The Wolves with Edwards, ROH isnt likely to get behind him in a big way.

EDIT:
So, any updates on the show?. Ill most likely grab off the net... once a useable copy is up.
Sounds like a lot... A LOT of issues plaqued the show.

But costing Haas???

I havent followed recently but why???

_________________

Shelton didnt trust Titus. Titus didnt trust Shelton. Haas meanwhile played a "Lover torn" role, believing he could trust the former ANX member, while keeping his loyality to his WGTT partner



Shame they didnt split WGTT up, then again Titus is pretty much certain for a strong singles push, so it makes sense I guess.

Oh ok. LOL

Steen retained aswell

_________________

I didn't see anything before intermission because their stream was ruined, but the second half was a very good show. Adam Cole's match with Mike Mondo especially.

I also enjoyed the crowd burying Matt Hardy.

So the crowd did what I had hoped they would with Hardy?. Awesome.
