What do you think of the card? What match are you most looking forward to?​

 

[The New F'n Show]

This is a sick card. Some great potential bouts here. Strong vs Homicide, both tag matches, and Richards-Cabana should be great. Del Ray vs MsChif and Daniels vs Edwards 2/3 Falls should be epic.

 

[Troy]

Yeah it is a stacked card. So many potential great matches. The three I am most looking forward to are WGTT vs Briscoes, Richards vs Cabana and Daniels vs Edwards. The mainevent should be fantastic as well. Tempting to buy this show online to watch it.

After really enjoying Final Battle I will be buying my second ROH PPV. It is another great looking line-up with some very fresh and exciting matches/feuds. Nice to see many of the youngsters still getting pushed on PPV.

The Briscoes VS. Haas and Benjamin is a dream match, and might just steal the card, this along with Daniels against Edwards I think should be the outstanding two matches on the card.

I can't get as excited about Cabana and Richards, partly because of how predictable the result might be (could be wrong of couse), and also because Colt is too much of a mid-carder (who I don't really rate anymore) so this just seems like a bit of a stop-gap match for Richards before he moves on and gets another title shot.

I quite like the story behind the four corner survival match, that is quite a tough one to call.

My only complaint overall is that there are maybe too many filler matches, beside this I am looking forward to another great night of ROH a action.

Another good outing for ROH on Saturday, althrough not on the same level as Final Battle or some of the other shows from last year.

To me some of the matches like the women's and four corner's just seemed rushed, and a match like Richards and Cabana just never grabbed me the way I was hopeing.

On the other hand the likes of Daniels VS. Edwards, The Briscoes VS. TWGTT, and tag title match were all very good.

The weekend of April 1st is going to be a very intertesting one for wrestling fans.

It was a good show, every match was entertaining that is for certain. The opening encounter certainly set the pace of the match and tbh, Davey Richard's Tri-Combo move, that I've never seen before was just pure epicness from the next "Internet Darling" followed with that Four Corners Survival Match and really... What the fuck is this hype about Mike Bannett Kyle O'Rielly certainly put in the performance of the match.

RoH's placement of the Homicide/ Strong match certainly did confuse me, must of been some logic behind having it half way through the crowd instead of having it at the top of the card, solid brawl with some awesome storytelling as per usual but Roderick Strong can NOT work the microphone for shit if you ask me.

Intermission then we're back for the second half of the show which just blew me away, All Night Express, last year was a pile of shit for a tag team didn't rate them at all but since they got this new get up, their in-ring ability has improved greatly and I was marking out when Kenny King had the match won if you ask me, Kings of Wrestling vs The Worlds Greatest Tag Team again.... *Yawn* Daniels vs Edwards was most defo match of the night, Edwards in some respects I prefer to Richards and Daniels concussion seemeed so legit... I wish I knew it was a legit injury or awesome SELLING by everyone involved including Edwards.

Briscoes vs TWGTT was indeed an encounter to be well noted of, shouldn't of been the main event though, I'd rather the two out of three falls match to close the show seeing as it had the most riding for it but I digress... 8.5/10 from me as all overall feeling towards the show.

Besides the improvement of The All Night Express as a team I do think Kenny King has a big future as a solo star for me he just has that something special about him, and could go on to be the total packenge!

As for the main event I guess they just wanted to put the focus on the first time meeting of TWGTT and the Briscoes, personally I think they made the right call. Also because there is likely to be another meeting with Strong and Homicide, they just turned this one into a ramdon brawl in the middle of the card just to tease fans maybe.
