ROH World Title Match
Davey Richards (c) vs. Roderick Strong with Truth Martini​

World Tag Team Title Match
Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team (c) (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas) vs. The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) with Shane Hagadorn​

World TV Title Match
El Generico (c) vs. Jay Lethal​

Eddie Edwards vs. Michael Elgin

The Briscoes vs. The All Night Express

Kyle O'Reilly & Adam Cole vs. The Bravado Brothers​

Also scheduled to appear:
- “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett
- Tommaso Ciampa with The Embassy​

Additional names and matches will be announced soon!!!​

This will be the first tv tapings under the new owners and they have booked three great matches so far. ROH are pulling out all the tricks for the first show and rightly so. I can't wait for this show to air to see if ROH can really grow and take it to TNA.​

Anyone else pumped for this show?​

I want ROH to release information about how they will be showing the show for fans outside of their tv markets. I think it will be a paid subscription deal online so hopefully it will only be a small amount to watch each show so that as many fans as possible around the world can watch it.

Guessing this might be when Punk makes a grand entrance? Or Kings Of Wrestling lose to Benjamin and Haas.

Punk making an appearence would be a epic way to mark their first Television Taping. Also this is on my Birthday, so I hope it is the start of something special for the promotion!

Not sure if I see Punk making an appearance. I think it will just be the contracted talent that are on the show so that ROH can showcase what the fans can expect to see in the coming months.

If this is on the internet, I will try and tune it, what with it being their first show.

Eddie Edwards vs. Michael Elgin has been added to the card.

Only a couple of weeks before this show.

Two more tag team matches have been added to the card. I like that they are putting the focus on tag team wrestling since WWE have almost completely forgotten about that division and it will make them stand out more by having three excellent tag team matches on the card.

There are also rumours that the Kevin Steen angle will continue at the taping.

Yeah this will be the only way i'll be able to tune in, I can't see them doing something similar with what TNA do here, I don't think they have the resources.

I have read that they are looking at putting up a premium stream so that fans that don't get the show on tv can still keep up to date. I am pretty sure there will be a fee attached to the stream but if they keep it at a fair price I will be looking at getting it.

O' Riley and Cole VS. The Bravando Brothers should be an intertesting match between two young teams, and it will be a good win for whoever gets it.

Can't see me tuning in every week if I have to pay, but if possible I will be seeing the debut show and some in the future. With a bit of luck it won't be too long until they get a deal in the UK.

The four episodes have been posted in seperate threads on this board.


POST SHOW NOTES
ROH sent out a number of stars to sign autographs after the show as a thank you to the fans for their support.
The next TV taping will be 10/1 at the Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky. I believe there is a November taping there as well.

I like that they are taping four episodes at once because at this early stage it would be a waste of money to tape one at a time. I like the format as well of simply two shows per match it allows each match plenty of time.

Be sure to post your thoughts in the other episode threads.

I'll most likely do this as well.
