Really strong card.
Briscoes vs. WGTT always delivers and it should be a fantastic match. Richards vs. Steen for the title is awesome and I hope that they go with the Steen win to continue the great storyline they have been running. Finlay going against Roderick Strong is great, Finlay will fit right into ROH and they should work well together. Slightly surprised that Storm is facing Bennett again rather than putting Storm against another wrestler. Good to see Rhino back on an iPPV card again, I thought that he had been released because he hasn't been used that much by ROH.

So I was just on the ROH site looking at the DVD's, since the last time I ordered any DVD's from ROH was last year. And i'm about 9 months behind. I happened to check ROH's twitter account, and saw that they re-tweeted a message from Fit Finlay. I checked out his account and saw he posted this:

Just ordered this and with I am excited as it is looking like one of the cards of the year. With a good mix of experience and youth and a number of different styles involved, plus some fresh feuds and the long awaited headliner this is one of ROH's best line-ups in awhile.
Final thoughts:
Richards VS. Steen
Well if they follow up their promise that this will be Steen's only title shot, then I guess it increases his chances of winning, then again Richards winning will thicken the plot and keep the fans guessing. Should be one of most intense bouts of the year and the time feels right, so I will go for Steen victory.
Strong VS. Finlay
This will be another old school, stiff style match, with some decent mat wrestling also, expect the crowd to really be into this one. Will be interesting to see what sort of reception Finlay gets. Will go for a Finlay win which may well lead to him getting a TV Title shot in the future.
Tag Team Championship
Should be a cracking match, but I hope this is the last match between these teams for awhile, does feel a bit like overkill. Briscoes to retain.
Edwards VS. Rhino
A nice contrast in styles here. Should be a heat bout, with some nice high spots as well fine submission wrestling. Rhino's character fits in nicely with ROH, but is getting a little bit past it, still a good guy to have around to help the younger guys out. Edwards to win this one.
Bennett VS. Storm
No doubt ROH have huge plans for Bennett, it will be good see Storm in action again. I will go for the rookie here, but I think he will have some help along the way.
Elgin VS. Cole
Two of ROH's most promising future stars and whoever picks up the win will recieve a big boast. My money's Elgin. Cole might have a brighter future as a tag guy.
Lethal VS. Ciampa
Interesting power VS. Speed contest, two young, exciting stars (even through Lethal has been around awhile now). Ciampa has a great look and seems to bridge the gap between power house and having skills nicely. This is a toss up, but I will go with Ciampa to produce an upset.
Will report back after the card. Anymore predictions?
