Man the more I think about this card the more sold I am on this show. Though I haven't followed the RD Evans/Moose saga at all so I have low expectations there. All the Dragon Gate love in here is making me dig up my old Toryumon vhs tapes. Any recommendations on current DG stuff and does Evolve/DGUSA even run anymore?

Evans is a comedy character who was on a fabricated winning streak. He'd show up every week and have a hype man hold up a sign saying "53-0," "54-0," etc. He got to 173 and was going to surpass Goldberg when his partner, Moose, cost him the match and took him to 173-1. All of Evans' entourage have now abandoned him and gotten behind Moose, who was used by Evans in tag matches. Basically, Moose would finish off an opponent and Evans would come in and steal the victory for his team. It's been a fun storyline but it's largely been comedy. Expect some shenanigans from them tonight with some impressive athleticism from Moose.

what happened to Silas Young? I sorta liked his gimmick. Actually I mostly just liked his mustache.

Broken leg. He should be back next month I think.

DG Dead or Alive 2014 is a really good show. I have big expectations for Final Gate. As for Evolve, I've seen a few shows here and there but they really don't do too much for me. Watch PWG instead!

Loved Silas Young's confrontation with Steen during his farewell speech, classic pro wrestling.

Cool during the Medicare knee brace ad or cool during the beta prostate commercial. I know ROH airs in the middle of the night but that shit is embarrassing.

Ah, not having enough promos to cover the half-hour before the show. Classic ROH, lol. Also, face Roddy is just bad. I mean, at least keep him from speaking.

Are there any notable WWE guys in ROH?

Only guy I recognize is Jay Lethal from when I ran into him at an arcade.

Ooh, the venue looks really good in that shot. Can't wait to see how it comes off on television.

The Strong "face turn" was kind of weak, but I'm still psyched to see what him and Page can do together. Page better be going over, though.

The lighting is really bothering me, as well as the off-centre hard cam. Was hoping for a better-lit show.

The action in this match is typically solid, though.

Lighting isn't bothering me one bit. They have it good.

Me too. Mark Brisco deserves better than RoH, honestly. He always wrestles with so much energy and is so fun to watch.

Initial impression:

Briscoe brothers have a good look for the business.

This Hansen cat better be related to Stan. Gimmick infringement.
