I like the poster. I'll be surprised also if Generico doesn't win the title here also.

They already did that feud like two years ago, this is lazy and shows the lack of depth. Not saying it won't be a great match, it just feels like a step back.

2 years between feuds isn't that bad, WWE have had some form of Punk v Cena, Cena v Show or a triple threat at the last three Summerslam PPVs.

And the feud never had a clear cut winner. You're actually the first person I've seen say anything not entirely positive about the match, but you also complain about Cena/Punk having "so many" PPV matches when they've only had like 5.

1. Who says the feud didn't have a clear winner? Generico retired him from ROH sounds pretty decesive to me. It should be a great match not saying any different.

2. Don't you think 5 ppv matches is a lot? Not to mention the raw match they had as well. Seems the Cena/Punk feud has gone on forever. Stop being neive Chris I expect better from you. lol.

When it's time for Generico vs. Steen, it is never...NEVER a step back.

 

[Gimmick]

I think it's a good move overall. It's a chance for them to end what has been a very poor year on a high, and a chance for them to attract some of the old ROH fans back.

I dont think it matter how many times they go back to this fued. Although their match at Final Battle 2010 ended things nicely, it's still a grudge that will never really end. They also work extremely well together, so seeing them wrestle each other yet again really isn't an overkill for me.

 

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

Being one of those people who missed all the previous Generico/Steen matches, I am actually happy about this.

Missed alot of ROH before they got the deal with Sinclair, and picked up alot of DVD's so I could see a wrestling promotion that actually cared about the in ring work ethics. First couple of weeks on Sinclair I enjoyed the Lethal/Generico matches, and if this is a bad year for ROH, its still better than what others are putting out there.

Tag title and Cole vs Hardy (guessing that's not for the TV title) have been announced.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Yeah, Cole vs Hardy is non-title. Hardy being on Final Battle is kinda surprising, since he's not been at ROH shows recently. But i'm sure Hardy will be urging his die-hard fans to order the iPPV and support ROH.

SCUM should retain the titles too.

 

[Chris]

Not sure how I feel about Coleman & Alexander getting a shot either, guessing their going to be built up like crazy on TV until the PPV. Just kinda' indifferent on them, don't like nor dislike them, hopefully they won't bring the match down.

 

[Gimmick]

I'm not high on the Tag Team title match to be honest. Caprice and Coleman just do nothing for me at all. I think they're an extremely bland team who sometimes come across as strangers to one another. There's nothing about them that would make me want to cheer for them.

I don't mind Hardy/Cole so much. I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing the reception Hardy gets from the NYC fans.

 

[Chris]

Jerry Lynn returns for his final match with ROH at the PPV. The mark inside of me can't help but look forward to this.

Michael Elgin vs Roderick Strong has been confirmed. Really looking forward to that one, been waiting for that match for the better part of a year.
