Great final 4 honestly. I can see this going with Elgin beating a former world champ in Steen, Cole winning the battle of the up and comers against Ciampa and hopefully they take a risk by having Cole take the belt home. That's what my money is on. Could easily just go the root everyone's assumed for so long and have Elgin win, that'd be fine too since he's a machine!

Great to see the Hooligans sticking around too, they're so damn entertaining.

Well it's been a long and forgetful wait here at WP but tonight is the night! Live on iPPV we will see a new ROH World Champion crowned (hopefully, it is an ROH iPPV after all)! I know many haven't followed the tournament but I'm sure you've all heard of the men that could potentially get the strap tonight so I want to hear everyone's picks for tonight! Who's your money on, Punks?

Honestly, like I said in my previous post and anyone that's been following the hype is almost certain, it looks like Elgin vs Cole is very likely for the finals. It's tough to choose though. At this point either scenario has become played out in the minds and message boards of ROH fans, either Elgin finally wins the strap fulfilling his long journey of earning it instead of being handed it or Cole finally brings his much better heel persona to ROH in order to do whatever it takes and get to the top. It really could either way. Hell, I'd love to see ROH fuck with us all and have Steen become a two time champ all the same! Sadly for Ciampa, while he's sure to be a major player if all goes well in the future, I don't think anybody is seeing tonight as his night to reach the top. Unless one of you do? Speak now!

EDIT: The iPPV which starts in 2.5 hours is now FREE to view! I'm expecting stream problems due to the major traffic they're going to get now that the word is out but I'll certainly be trying to watch and I suggest others do as well!

 

[Postman Dave]

If I didn't have work tomorrow, I'd absolutely be watching this. Fucking Friday night shows....

 

[Ricky Smarks]

When does this start again? And it's really free?

 

[The Viper]

When does this start again? And it's really free?

Yup. It's free according to ROH themselves. I believe it starts at 8.

I'll be watching.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

How do I watch this stupid thing? I can't find a link to it anywhere.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I finally found it. ROH doesn't link this stream at all. Fail.

Anyhow nice seeing Nigel McGuinness at the commentary table.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

When did Lethal become an obnoxious spot monkey?

 

[The Viper]

When did Lethal become an obnoxious spot monkey?

Since he got into ROH : He's okay tho.

Fuck Lethal. This Silas Young kid ain't too shabby though.

I hope you're here for the LD. This is has been boring by myself... :

 

[Ricky Smarks]

A back-spring cutter? Sigh. I hate you Lethal.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The code of honor is a thing again, huh.

 

[The Viper]

Fuck Lethal. This Silas Young kid ain't too shabby though.

I hope you're here for the LD. This is has been boring by myself... :

When I'm not tweeting about it, I'll be here or in the other place. I'm a multi-talented guy.

Silas was impressive. Haven't seen much of him but that final move that he didn't land looked really good.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I like this Adam Cole. He's a nice clean cut kid. I hope he does it tonight. Too many "bad ass" outcast types lately.
