    Perfect. I'm a huge mark for Jimmy, (I was stupidly nervous interviewing him for the podcast!) he is one of my favourite guys to ever enter the ring. Really wish this was live as I'm dying to see everything that went down

    Strange that they are waiting so long to put it up. Why have they had such a bad record with their ippvs in the past? Do other companies have problems or are ROH just cheap with who they get to do them?

    Tale of two shows. One effectively showcasing new talent and the other a bunch crap poorly executed distraction/roll up finishes. Enjoyable though.

    Nicole Savoy was a complete and utter revelation. Never seen her before:

    The line up for last year's CHIKARA King of Trios tournament last year was the biggest pile of ****e and cheap as chips. But this year:

    https://twitter.com/CHIKARApro/status/596707111490420736

    Fenix, Drago and Aerostar from AAA and Lucha Underground!!!!

    I might have said in the past on here but **** it it has been a year. CHIKARA had The Hardy Boyz & Lita booked for last year but things fell apart at the last moment. There's other similar stories like that apparently. The back up to their back ups fell apart too.

    This is news devasted me during the PPV his career was just starting.

    One half of the Monster Mafia, "The Walking Weapon", Josh Alexander, has unfortunately been forced to retire at 27 due to fusion neck surgery.

    As a singles wrestler AAW in Chicago and AIW in Cleveland only recently made him their Champion too.

    Where he belongs.

    He phoned it in in the last while with TNA and he still kicked ass.

    Do you think so? I was honestly surprised with just how hard he was working despite knowing he was on his way out the door. Impact over the last few months would've been a much worse place without him.

    Poor choice of words on my part when saying he phones it in, I just mean't that even though he's been one of the brightest aspects of TNA in recent times, I feel he will care more being back in ROH (which has been great in recent months) and as a result his work will be on another level.

    Anybody watch BOLA? I really enjoyed Tommy End vs Zack Sabre Jr, the two Pentagon Jr/Fenix tag matches and the six man that Meltzer gave five stars to. Him going full five on a match during which one of the wrestlers kisses him is pretty funny. Also Chuck Taylor and Excalibur calling Adam Cole fat will always amuse me.
