Who is Dak Draper? My eyes on a ROH card always go to what Gresham's doing and this one is a big fat ? because I'm not sure what to expect.

Lethal feels like the only guy who could take the title off of RUSH at present given his role as the leader of the Foundation and now dropping the tag titles after a year of holding them.

Williams/Lee is the big match that's hooking me into watching the show.

Shame there's no Tony Depan.

Dak Draper isnt that bad. hes actually good enough for Gresham to turn it into a great match. Hes used to be in WWE at one point. Ive heard, given the chance, he can really go as far as pure wrestling goes. i havent seen it yet, so im hoping this match will be his chance

Rush vs Lethal first time one on one should be great. Im not sure hes the leader. i get the impression there isnt one.

Tracy vs Lee is going to be MOTN. Tracys too good and Lee is well Dragon Lee.

Im assuming Deppen is selling the beatdown he got from LFI. Im hoping he and Brody King jump the tag champs

I’ll check out the EC3 match, and maybe Lethal versus Rush, but it’s been years since I was able to sit through a whole ROH event. Maybe those will change my mind.

I could have sworn Mike Bennett was back with Kingdom, so hopefully he makes an appearance somewhere. (Again, completely out of the loop on ROH so I could be wrong)

You should check out Tracy vs Dragon Lee while you're at it. Same with The 6 man titles match. Their last match was amazing.

Bennett is back and he looks motivated

[Looking Glass]

Yeah I would agree that Lethal feels like the only guy who can take the title from Rush but I just feel that Lethal has had such a run with the company that I wouldn’t get any excitement or joy from that, I do think they they could’ve gone down the route of Gresham and Rush because that would be a match I would like to see. For someone who was a jobber in NXT, Draper has done really well to break through out of the cookie cutter mould, does he feel like Eli Drake? Yes, but I think he makes it work. I have to say that the Flip Gordon and Mark Briscoe match does feel like it has been randomly added to give both men something to do. Otherwise, I think all the other matches have had a nice build - the Zero Hour is random and I agree that Deppen deserves a spot on the card somewhere.

Tracy Williams and Dragon Lee will be an excellent match and I’m intrigued to see what happens with EC3, especially after his loss during his return match with Impact. Part of me would love to see an EC3 title reign of some kind, I do feel like ROH need to keep moving after regaining momentum from the pandemic-induced break.

[King Steventon]

Will they have fans in attendance?

[Looking Glass]

I’m not too sure, I feel like no but I honestly don’t miss the crowd or the audio track. Commentary do such a good job at calling the match that I don’t feel that the excitement is gone.

[indyfan]

Will they have fans in attendance?

No there wont be any crowd. ROH and Maryland take the pandemic really seriously. Almost too serious im my view but i cant fault them for being extra safe.

I agree with lookingglass about commentary. They re just outstanding at what they do. Ian Riccaboni is the man


Have to give ROH props...they paid everyone during the pandemic and re created the bubble concept used in hockey and basketball. its worked out for them and they deserve credit for it.

Flip and Mark are fighting because Flip ruined their tag title shot opportunity and then Mark attacked Flip the following week. simple back story.

Awesome promo for Jay Briscoe vs EC3






Now, some bad news heading into the PPV. Dragon Lee is out of action. He got some kind of surgery that prevented him from flying.

Therefore Bestia( Their dad) is taking Lees spot in the tag title match. Im annoyed that the belts are being defended without one half of the champs.

Kenny King is defending the tv belt for Lee vs Williams

What the actual fuck.

Completely idiotic move here and Delirious has done so well bookingwise and this is a head scratcher

Im guess is Tracy wins and LFI kick out Kenny? Maybe thats the route they are going...but if Tracy wins how does that fit into being honorable.

I get ROH said all belts will be defended but im sure fans would understand number one contenders under the circumstances.

[Big Boss Dan]

Yeah, I don't understand why Wrestling promotions don't steal a concept from UFC and book interim title matches and then once the real champ comes back just do a champ vs champ match.

[indyfan]

Yeah i would totally be behind that decision. Hopefully the match endsup being good. Tracy is good enough to bring Kenny to a great match but im not sure how the tag match is going to turn out.

Killer promo from Kenny King

[Big Boss Dan]

That Jay Briscoe promo was so good.

[indyfan]

That Jay Briscoe promo was so good.

Jay Briscoe is the man. But yeah amazing promo. I can totally see him telling WWE he makes top NXT money landscaping. lol

Josh Woods promo is getting better and better too.

They are doing a good job selling the PPV with these promos and interviews

[indyfan]

This six man is gonna rule

It's exactly what they need to sell. Also, I miss Dalton Castle performing 100%. Is he still having back issues. Just heard Michael Tarver did the STP theme song. I wonder if he shows up at some point.

Yeah i keep hearing his back is still messed up and hes not going to be 100% for a while if ever. I hear OShay Edwards is joining STP. Id be fine with Tarver if hes better than he used to be.

[indyfan]

6 man wasn't as good as their match from a few weeks ago but im guessing Mexisqaud are breaking up. Id be down with Bandido vs Flamita if they do split.

[Big Boss Dan]

Yeah i keep hearing his back is still messed up and hes not going to be 100% for a while if ever. I hear OShay Edwards is joining STP. Id be fine with Tarver if hes better than he used to be.

Yeah at the OWA event I went to O’Shay came out in STP regalia. O’Shay Edwards has been one of my favorites on the indies for a while.
