ROH TITLE Tournament

[Weez]

Yeah, Hardy's gotta be in this.

I used to love Matt, I did. But damn, he got old quick lol. I still think we end up with Hardy/Steen final.

Waiting on Roddy and the Wolves getting added. I assume reDRagon gets added too.

Edit: Oh. Strong's in. I'm stupid lol.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, FAT Hardy shouldn't be in this at all. He's been pretty awful these last few years unless he's trollin' on Youtube which is easy. That doesn't make him good enough for ROH by a long shot. They should be trying to find their next Bryan Danielson or Samoa Joe, not handing Hardy anything worthwhile.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Mike Bennett is the 12th man added.

The 13th participant will be the winner of the match on the ROH show in Providence, Rhode Island on July 27th between Silas Young and Adam Page.

Man, the Silas Young/Adam Page match that is up on ROHwrestling.com TV this week was a fun match to watch for only getting like 8 minutes lol.

 

[Keith]

The line up for me so far is pretty strong. I would like to see at least one future star make the final maybe against Steen so that he would get a rub win or lose.

 

[Troy]

Anyone else think that Alex Shelley might be a surprise entrant in this? Would be a cool way for him to return to ROH in my opinion.

Don't know. He's wrestling mainly for New Japan since he left TNA, but for whatever reason hasn't been used on the last few New Japan shows. I could see it happening, especially since Karl Anderson is involved and he wrestles still for New Japan. Time will tell.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I think I may check out that Page/Silas match, both guys are vastly underrated especially Silas Young.

 

[AZUCAR!]

The final 3 are:

Matt Taven
ACH
Mark Briscoe

 

[Gimmick]

Strange choice to announce Mark Briscoe last. Talk about anti-climatic.

The participants overall look good though. There's a lot of potentially great match-ups there.

 

[Gimmick]

Brackets for the title tourney after being released. First round looks pretty good. I'm predicting...

Quarter Finals
Cole vs. Lethal
Ciampa vs. Bennett
Anderson vs. Elgin
Taven vs. Steen

Semi Finals
Cole vs. Ciampa
Elgin vs. Steen

Final
Cole vs. Elgin (winner)

 

[Keith]

Won't go any further than the quarters for now.

Cole VS. Lethal
Ciampa VS. Whitmer
Anderson VS. Elgin
Strong VS. Steen

 

[Cannon]

I hope they don't do the obvious and have Jay screw Mark out of the belt in the finals.

I'm gonna say Elgin/Briscoe in the finals with shenanigans of some sort in the finish.
