the bird act makes him look like an idiot.

Adam, how do you feel about quitting WWE in favor of ROH only to see the most WWE performer on ROHs roster become their champion?

And how about that goof ball trio beating a legit one like Bully and The Briscoes?

not sure I understand the first queation: are you saying Cody is "too WWE"? It was a meh ending to a meh ppv.

And Castle and the Boys winning was dumb since they're not wrestlers and hopefully they drop the titles to the bucks and page tonight. As for a feud with the Briscoes...not much i can do about it.

Ah, I'm awake now and got the question.  I don't hate anyone from the WWE.  I feel bad for them.  My problem is with the company, not the talent (except Enzo, he sucks).  But they're all so much better than the WWE lets them be.  

Sadly with RoH they don't have many options right now.  With Cole gone who else is there that would move the needle?  I guess Jay Lethal but he seems pretty banged up.  Jay Briscoe again?  Dalton Caslte doesn't seem like "top guy" stuff to me yet.  Silas Young?  I'd love it but would everyone else.  Adam Page?  He's still quite a while away.  Marty Scurll?  I don't get the guy so I'd have to say no.

Cody isn't "Mr. Right", he's "Mr. Right Now".

Just finished. Show was fine. What I expect from current ROH. Quick run down...

Kingdom vs CMLL Guys was what it was. I don't know any backstory of Taven's work in Mexico so I couldn't fully grasp it. Ultimo Guerrero's Mullet gets 8 Stars.

Hangman Page vs Kazarian was brutal. Great hardcore spots, but smart at the same time and not CZW blow your load ASAP style hardcore. Would love to see these guys go again in an all out war.

Rebellion vs Seek N Destroy didn't do anything for me. I try to follow ROH TV, but didn't see when S & D formed, so they just feel so random to me. And the Rebellion is long overdue to be split up.

Silas vs Lethal was fine too. Felt like a really solid WWE TV match. The post-match beat down was a highlight for me. That was brutal.

Castle & Da Boyz vs 3B was interesting. I don't see Castle and The Boys holding the titles very long, but I am so stoked to Castle finally has gold around his waste. The interactions between Castle/Boys and Bully Ray was so good though.

Scurll vs KUSHIDA was ok. I've seen both guys put on much better matches. Bummed Kushy won though, really wanted Scurll to get the belt back. Some cool moves though, and Kushida doing the finger break was hilarious.

Young Bucks vs War Machine vs Best Friends was my MOTN. Just a fun crazy spot fest. I love seeing the Best Friends in ROH so much, and they just worked so well with the other two teams.

Cody vs Daniels just felt off. It wasn't bad, per-se, but it felt a bit discombobulated and sloppy. I'm guessing that gash Cody got in his lip kinda put a damper on everything. I am all about Cody winning the title. It was a great "feel good" moment with Daniels winning, but the magic disappeared pretty fast. Cody is fresh and it'll be interesting to see where they go with it.

-In terms of Marty Scrull, he is what you call a smark wrestler. There are wrestlers that are out there that obviously work a style to gain attention from that "indy smart fan" crowd. And Scrull is a very obvious worker of that style. Usually is a heel who does comedy spots or is a no-sell spot monkey. Scrull uses comedy heel spots to wear opponent down and does a Chicken Wing flop (taunt mocking) to prepare for his finisher. My take but yeah Scrull, Young Bucks, Ospreay, and Kenny Omega definitely fall under this wrestler type. It seems to get over Japan as well as indy scene because in Japan they like over the top characters.

-In terms of this gig, it was a miss. These are only matches worth checking all the way through:

Scrull vs KUSHIDA ROH TV Title: 8/10: This was a well done back and forth match with both dudes getting their signature spots in. Worked at an appropriate pace. Dig Kushida as the champ.

Young Bucks vs Best Friends vs War Marchine ROH Tag Titles: 8.5/10 Good ol' fast paced spotfest tornado tag match. Lots of cool spots and near falls. Too damn short if your ask me. Please strap a rocket to Trent and Chukie T damn it.

Christopher Daniels vs Cody Rhodes ROH Title: 6/10 This match really turned into a hot mess after the ref bump. The big problem is bookers out there believe Cody can work 20+ min matches. Well he can't. Dude is meant to do fast paced back and forth matches in the 15 minute mark. The Bullet Club interference run ins is getting old. Anyways this is passable because Daniels sucked as champ and Cody has gained a big following on the indy/NJPW scene. Hopefully, Cody shows us what he is truly capable of. Hell I can see Cody beat Okada in Long Beach. That buzz could be nuts.

-Overall: Show was too long and the stories have been rather dull lately in ROH. Hopefully they pick up by the next big PPV.

After working 52 hours this week, I finally got the chance to watch this.

The Boredom vs Some Mexican Dudes - 5/10: Matt Taven is just as mediocre as you can get. I can't rate anything with him higher than this. It's been a long time since someone in wrestling has brought everything they're involved in down to such depths of uninteresting filler. The guy brings nothing special to the table and as usual is always outshined by whomever he's associated with. Apparently, these Mexican dudes are legends down there. Never saw them before, never care to see them again. Match was average just like Taven.

Hangman Page vs Kazarian - 7.5/10: Not as good as their match last month but they still brought the intensity and had some really good spots. Finish was cool even if the wrong guy won. It probably wouldn't matter if Page won since they never follow up on his big wins. He finally found his calling with the current gimmick, has a PPV pinfall win over Jay Briscoe and a tv victory over Adam Cole in what was Cole's final tv match with the company. Yet, they never go through on anything with him. Why bother giving him big wins like that if it doesn't at least lead to a TV title reign? That wouldn't matter either since he would just pointlessly job it to some guy from Japan who doesn't need it to begin with.

Search & Destroy vs The Rebellion - 7/10: Fun tag match with the right team winning. The Rebellion was really pointless and a waste of two talented men in Kenny King and Caprice Coleman. Honestly wouldn't mind seeing them two as a tag team since the division needs help right now. Oh yeah, Rhett Titus, everything I said about Matt Taven goes double for him. He serves zero purpose.

It seems some of you aren't aware how Search & Destroy came to be. Which is odd since you claim to be fans but don't actually follow the product. So, let me explain. Shelley and Sabin wanted to assemble a group to combat the bullet club and also wanted the members to be young up and comers. They've mentioned this on ROH tv and have done stuff with it. Which you would know if you watched like a fan should. So, the group was formed that way. But with the bullet club pretty much faces at this point, I think the feud with them has been dropped and it's just Shelley and Sabin trying to help elevate some guys the company sees something in. Last week Shelley offered a guy by the name of Flip Gordon a possible spot in the group. So, don't be surprised if you see him with them at some point since no one can be bothered to watch the time consuming 40 something minute show ROH airs every week in order to keep up on things 

Jay Lethal vs Silas Young - 8.5/10: Two of my favorites in the company. Really good match and I think I liked this one better than the match I saw these two have live last year. Very good wrestling match with nice near falls. Post match beatdown was great. ROH really needs to invest in Silas and use him as more than just a jobber to the stars. He's getting a little bit older but I still think he's top heel in the company material and there is still a couple years left to push him as one before age starts to catch up with him. They desperately need to get Lethal back in the ROH main event scene. Cole was a very good champion but I feel like something is missing when Lethal isn't at the top of the card. I don't think the ROH title has been at the same level since Lethal lost it.

Six Man Titles - 7/10: This was more of an entertainment match than anything. Too bad Castle's first ROH title victory didn't happen as a singles win. When the conflict started between these two teams I thought that a heel turn for Bully and The Briscoes was coming. This match just convinced me further that it will happen. The Briscoes have been the same for the last seven years and are in need of a turn at this point. They're not getting much of a pop anymore and that's something that has been going on for a while. The Bully Ray character doesn't work as a face and his reactions haven't been too great either. These three going full on vicious heel would be great and very much needed.

Kushida vs Marty Scurll - 8.5/10 - I don't understand Kushida winning the TV title off the red hot Scurll. Like not even a little bit. Pointless title change that killed a lot of the momentum Marty has built up over the last several months. Not giving the title back to him here was an even more puzzling decision. Still, this was a very good match with both guys going out there and putting in a top notch effort to show just how important the TV title is. The only complaint I have here is the outcome.

Tag Team Titles - 8/10 - This was a really fun match. Especially when the Bucks were getting beat up or not involved in anything. That's when the match really shined. Will never understand the appeal of those two but they've got the fans conned into thinking they're something they're not so good on them I suppose. Adding Trent and Chuckie to the match was a good idea. I can see them taking the titles off the Bucks if Chuck is sticking around in ROH. War Machine are free agents I believe now. NXT does need tag teams, maybe they'll end up there. Good old school bruiser team. H and Vince will love them.

Cody vs Christopher Daniels - 7/10 - If Cody legally changed his last name to Rhodes he could get past all this not being able to use the name bullshit. But if he's married and has kids(?) i'm not sure how that would affect their last names. Would they have to change their names as well? This was a solid match but nothing more. Not sure you'll get anything better out of Cody. He's great at interviews, character work and in ring psychology. Just like his brother and dad who shined the most when doing these things. But just like his brother and dad, you're never gonna get consistent four and five star classic work rate matches out of him. It seems as if the ROH fans finally realise that after this show judging by the positive reaction Cody got. Maybe they're tired of all the work rate shit and want a wrestler who will take them on a ride and tell a story instead. Cody is perfect for that. Wish Daniels would have went heel as champion. Could have extended the reign and got him out of the fake, humble face bullshit he was terrible at playing.

Final Score: 7.2

...I'm four months older than Silas.

I'm two years older than him.
