This card looks solid so far. I really don't want Mondo going over Roddy, I don't see why he's getting pushed tbh. His gimmick bores me.

Well he doesn't really have a gimmick to be honest, he's just an arrogant heel (now face apparently). He interacts with the fans a ton, so that's why he's as over as he is now with the crowd and receiving this push most likely. I like him, think he's pretty good in the ring, not the best on the mic, but I'm good with this push. That being said, I don't like him going over Roddy at all.

i dont get all the love for rodderick.he always seemed so overrated to me.i was glad he lost the tv belt so quickly.

 

[CoreyCZ]

Looking forward to this. Steen's been a hell of a champ and his match with Kingston could be epic. I've always enjoyed Eddie's battles with Chris Hero and I hope to enjoy this too.

Two more matches added, card's most likely final now.

ROH TV Champion Adam Cole vs Brutal Bob Evans in a Proving Ground match
Matt Taven vs. QT Marshall vs. Antonio Thomas vs. Vinny Marseglia

Not really too keen on these, though I'm interested to see the Evans/Cole match just because of the different dynamic between their ages and styles. Four way will probably be pretty poor with some spots hoping to get these guys over. Taven is the only one who I've seen any of, and I've really liked his last couple ROH TV matches.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Looking forward to Eddie/Brutal Bob. Bob is just plain awesome.

Plus, wasn't Antonio Thomas one of the Heart Throbs?

 

[Chris]

Ah, I knew the name was familiar, yes he was. The Heart Throbs also appeared in Chikara recently, wonder why Antonio is the only one getting a shot in ROH though.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Probably because he used to work with Cornette in OVW.

 

[Keith]

Yeah think I will give this one a look as I plan on streaming summerslam and this will be a chance to see some different talent who don't get that much exposure.

 

[Keith]

Just a few hours away from this now who else has ordered it and what matches are you most looking forward to?

The main event will be interesting as I don't know a great deal about Kingston and it seems a bit of a weak top liner.

Lethal against Chiampa and the mix tag should also be hightlights for me.

 

[Chris]

I'm not ordering because I'm not sure if I'll be home or not yet, so I'll just catch a replay tomorrow. Honestly, Cole vs Brutal Bob interests me quite a lot, I just wanna' see how that one turns out. Main event should be a great brawl as well.

 

[Crippler]

I haven't watched ROH TV in like 2 months so i haven't been paying much attention to it so outside Steen/Kingston and Briscoes/Jacobs&Corino (which i'm hoping Jimmy and the Briscoes bring some of that intensity back that they had in 07/08 in this match) i'm not that pumped like i should be. OH AND Sara Del Rey

From prowrestling.net

ROH World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen attacked two men at ringside at the conclusion of the ROH Boiling Point iPPV. The incident, which was caught on camera, showed Steen hitting a fan who spit on him after Steen kissed another fan, who Steen also hit. Security was shown jumping the barricade after the men before cameras were switched away to Steen leaving the ring side area

According to Dot Net reader Zack Zimmerman, who was sitting two rows behind the men hit, sent this note: "Kevin Steen assaulted two fans who mixed words with him post match. Steen grabbed one and made out with him. The man shoved Steen and Steen swung and hit the man in the face and then hit the fan next to him who spat. If these men were plants, they were interacting with us all night and were very convincing as fans. One man bled from the lip. The men were two rows in front of me and Steen POTATOED both."

I wish I could get my ass beat by Kevin Steen when I go to ROH shows.

 

[Chris]

All would have been well if the fan just kissed him back. Anyway, has anyone seen the show yet? I'll try and catch it before TNA tonight, but I'll for sure watch it by tomorrow.
