I think Roddy Strong will be teaming with Jay Briscoe again against probably Eric Stevens and someone, not really sure about the rest of the matches to come though. "Caged Collision" in Chicago is looking alright, the only match I would watch from the current card would have to be the steel cage war, also not sure what the rest of the card will be like but it should be good imo.
Strong and Stevens has signed a open contract to face any team in a warm up match. I see Delirous and Jacobs don't have a match left. Unless they just want to throw some students or local talent at them.
yeah, I can't say i even liked my card for Detroit.
But as i said in the results thread i believe. Detroit HAS to get a big title match or main event, with how poor the show looks. Steenerico vs American Wolves is certainly not a main event match. It would have opened most shows the past year. In fact all four matches are just about opening/throwaway matches. It boggles my mind how Detroit goes from a PPV to this. (after a 7 month layoff, due to not being able to book the arena the weekend they wanted) I guess i'm just not impressed with Steenerico vs. American Wolves. Yeah they are shoving them down our throats, but they just won their first matches. Oddly enough, The American Wolves could even win the tag belts. Even though, there really isn't anything to get excited about.
It will be intersting to see what the attendence will be like. Suprisingly the first 3 rows have already sold out. Generally ROH sells a lot of GA tickets prior and at the door they fill up the floor seats. With Tag Wars and New Horizons attendence was close to 1000. Probably more in the 800-900 range. But Tag Wars had motorcity machine guns and IBushi to help sell tickets, and New Horizons was the first saturday show and PPV. So that gave the fans a reason to go.
THe Chicago card will also be interesting imo. I don't know why they booked the big SnS blowoff in Jan when Chris Hero is out. Go Shoizaki hasnt been signed for the event yet. Adam Pearce hasn't been on TV for months. So idk how SNS plans to have 5 people on its team. I guess best case scenario would be: Richards, Edwards, Pearce, Sweeney, Dempsey, although there is talk of Sara Del ray being in the match. I would think Austin Aries would cash in his shot here, since its not a "B" show. Tyler Black has a lot of mementum with the time limit draw. I'd also like to see Dragon vs. Claudio in a match. (although i believe they've hinted at Cluadio vs. Steen)
These are going to be two tough cards to book with the talent left. I dont think Chicago is going to look that great either (for a ppv). But we will have to wait and see.
