It was my first every live wrestling event, and it was pretty much everything I hoped for. So many great matches were had, and it was 4 show tapings, so we got about 4 and a half hours of quality stuff. Crowd was fantastic, so much so that Kelly said he said ROH may plan on taping here instead of Baltimore from now on. Not sure if he was blowing smoke, but either way the crowd was pretty fantastic. I loved chanting and clapping, it's just so much fun to see a crowd that's not "too cool" like you see every Monday night on RAW.
For those of you that are planning on watching, all I'll say is that you have some really great matches in the future. I'll just give you a hint that I saw one of the best hardcore matches I can remember in recent memory.

I've seen a few dozen tapings, and I don't know if it's their sound capturing/mixing or what, but there were constant chants, cheers, claps, and noise for the most part. Sometimes the crowd would go silent if someone was really getting into a promo, but I saw that as a good thing. I saw it as people being really engaged and excited.
It was fantastic! My voice is actually shot today, but so totally worth it.
I should remain impartial, but I believe fellow-Brit Laserfrog has the edge here. His training in British catch-as-catch-can wrestling will surely win him the day, barring any dastardly tactics from his opponents.
Those two matches were the best probably all night; the former is one of the greatest non-PPV matches I think I've ever seen in my life (not to build it up too much, but it's one of those matches that I'll always remember) and the latter is one of the coolest and creative matches I've seen in a long time. In the hardcore match, I was getting shades of WCW vs. nWo because
Briscoe
kept taking things from actual people in the crowd, from a
water-bottle
to a
shoe
, and there was a spot were
Corino
got two fans to
hold up two chairs by each other two throw Briscoe into.
And the ending was one of the best I've ever seen in a hardcore match as well, with the level of stuff in the ring being amazing. I just hope
Corino is okay. He looked like he really got fucked up on the last part of the match, and I'm not sure if it was a work or what. Either way, the dude is a legend in my book.
