Yep.
Austin, TX. They also run shows in the San Antonio metro, in a 'burb called Live Oak. That's where the show is tomorrow.

Ugh, I've been spoiled by Showdown in the Sun/watching Chikara + PWG DVD's.
I had forgotten how much wrestling crowds actually suck.

Lol, how did you find that pic?
Is that one of the Spirit Squad guys? BTW, I've noticed that, for whatever reason, Kane still wears his old outfit at house shows (the one with the stupid cartoon flame down the leg).
Loved, loved, loved the Bray Wyatt promo. Only problem I have is I keep getting his name mixed up with Wade Barrett.

Classic All Japan show here, featuring a green as grass Tommy Dreamer taking on Akira Taue, an awesome 6-man gaijin tag battle between Stan Hansen & The Can-Am Express and Steve Williams, Johnny Ace & Johnny Smith - then, the inexperienced trio of Jun Akiyama, Takao Omori & Tamon Honda face a tough test against living legend Giant Baba, All Japan great Jumbo Tsuruta, and the best young star on the roster, Mitsuharu Misawa. Finally, in an EPIC main event match, the legendary 60-minute encounter between AJPW Triple Crown Champion Toshiaki Kawada and challenger Kenta Kobashi.
If you've never seen the main event and have an hour to spare, seriously check it out. Amazing match.

It's a good thing Nitro was able to fill the boots of some guy who couldn't even be bothered to turn up for his ppv match, whoever he was.

Vince is kind of obsessed with the McMahon Irish heritage, if you hadn't noticed.
I would have loved to see Finlay as champion, instead of another useless face Batista run like Steph wanted. Sometimes, I think the reason the WWE sucks is because HHH & Steph are holding back the more ridiculous of Vince ideas.

Same here. ROH have apparently brought in some outside company to manage the iPPV tonight, seeing as ROH and, by extension, their network TV broadcasting owners, were too inept to do it by themselves - so hopefully it will go off without any major problems. But even so, the card isn't the most inspiring.
I'm sure Steen vs Davey will be great, but I'm dreading a Davey win (even more so if he doesn't turn heel)
I don't care in the slightest about the tag title match - WGTT are really starting to bore me, and while I like ANX (well, mostly Kenny King) I feel like ROH should have already pulled the trigger there. Hopefully they will do so tonight and we'll have new tag champs.
Finlay vs Elgin is honestly the match I'm most looking forward to. If this is anything but an all-out war, I'll be disappointed.
The TV title 3-way could potentially steal the show, but I think Roderick is walking out with the title.
Eddie vs Homicide has lacklustre written all over it.
Adam Cole vs Kyle O'Reilly - a match I would have loved to see open the show, under any other circumstances. Damn Cornette and his MMA hard-on.

ROH iPPV is actually working well, 720p, looks great and some nice camera work in the opener.

Briscoes vs Guardians of Truth was an OK opener - the Guardians were apparently Mosh & Thrasher under the mask. Next, Homicide and Edwards had a good hard hitting bout, and now O'Reilly and Cole are having that silly hybrid fighting rule match. Half the crowd are into it, half are chanting "SUPER DRAGON!" for no reason.

Holy shit Adam Cole just lost his two front teeth. Blood is pouring from dude's mouth.

Fuck. That is goddamn gruesome.
Damn, awesome second half, they simultaneously made Cole over as fuck and O'Reilly hated as hell.

Thought the first half of the match was a little slow but once it got going Cole and O'Reilly was really good.
British Monsoon

Yeah, really good. Zero problems so far, even the graphics and video packages have worked on time. Great improvement.
Elgin vs Finlay is up now, it's started slow but has been good so far.
How is the sound mix? Can you hear the crowd this time?
BillRiccio
Member
Yeah they have the crowd mic'd pretty well today. The announcers aren't over powering the broadcast. Entrance music could be a little better.
