Yeah, same, NYC is always a toss up. Could be really good or really bad. I've seen worse then this but they're not good.

Good spot, modern actually.

Did he put thumbtacks in his mouth then superkicked him?

While the only matches worth watching were Redragon/Time Splitters, Six Man Tag, and Fight Without Honor it was an all around decent show. Crowd killed most of it though.

That main event was pretty awesome. Exactly what was expected.
Overall I think the show lived up to the expectations, but barely. Some matches delivered and others didn't. Elgin/Ciampa was alright, Sydal/Lethal while good wrestling was ruined by the crowd, RD Evans/Moose wasn't good. At all. But on the positive side of things, Page/Strong told a good story and Page looked good out of it, the six man tag was off the hook, reDRagon/Timesplitters was for wrestling the match of the night, but the main event gave you exactly what you expected, and a little bit more, but told a consistent story. I hope Briscoe/Cole never face one another again to be totally honest.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
One thing I learned tonight, Matt Taven is hilarious on Twitter, his tweets when they took over teh ROH twitter had me cracking up all night.
Pretty OK show. Good main event. Lived up. But nothing seemed to actually happen in the show.

If you followed ROH you'd understand a few of the match endings.
Adam Page refusing to give up despite the amount of pain he was in solely because BJ Whitmer told him not to shows that he can hang, which in the angle means BJ is right and Jimmy Jacobs is wrong. He went all out against Strong and hanged with him which BJ said he would do. It made Page look great while getting Roddy the win.
Tommaso Ciampa went "off the deep end" a few months ago and started attacking officials and staff, Kevin Kelly, Bobby Cruise, referees, he was told that if he ever did it again he would be fired. When he accidentally hit Paul Turner, Nigel stood up, causing a distraction and meaning that Tommaso may now be fired, while also getting Elgin the win. This now leads to the question if Nigel intentionally cost Ciampa the match and will he fire him?
And the main event is obvious. Jay Briscoe has finally won a feud that has been going on forever, and in a very violent manner too.
Aside from that, all you had going into the show was good wrestling - this is the biggest difference between WWE, TNA and ROH. ROH provides exactly what it says on the tin but it also provides the stories to go with it. Even the ending to the ROH World title match, Jay ending it with a Jay Driller onto the title is great storytelling and then the final image being them, both on their backs, surrounded by wreckage. It's one of the reasons I love ROH. They never get enough credit for the stories they tell as well as the great wrestling they exhibit. I now wish this show hadn't happened in NYC.
I've seen the shows leading up to it. I know the build ups. I know some of the matches were good. The main event was great. But in contrast to Best In The World and last years Final Battle, nothing really happened here. The one change they could've and should've made in Matt Sydal winning the TV title was passed up because Jay Lethal is allegedly good. That and whether Ciampa is fired or not.

I was telling everyone and their mother Lethal was retaining. I do however think he'll lose the title at the 13th Anniversary Show. If he holds it an entire year I'll be surprised.
