First of all let me say... The feed didn't mess up! Yay!!!!!! And it looked perfect even expanded to the size of my TV. It looks like they finally got it together. Th show was really good over all, though not the best they've done. Opening tag match was pretty good. I'm really curious as to who the Guardians of Truth actually are. I do like the existence of a masked tag team again. Brings me back to my youth  Edwards vs. Homicide was about what I expected. It probably could have been better, but I'm happy with it. Cole vs. O'Reilly was mostly a let down. the match didn't do much to show the importance of the special rules. That said, Cole showed himself to be pretty bad ass, and this match helped him even further cement himself as a future star. so from that stand point, it was a major success. I really enjoyed Finlay vs. Elgin. I know some people thought it was slow, but that didn't bother me. Plus for Finlay to still go like he does is very impressive, and I liked what happened after the match a lot. Tag Title match was decent, but not really up to the standard of either team. I'm very happy with the outcome though. I also liked the Triple threat match. I'm still not sure about this conspiracy angle, but I'm interested to see where it goes. I like all three guys in the match, so it worked out. Main event was excellent. i would like to see more technical wrestling from Steen again in the future, but i understand that didn't work for this match, or his gimmick in general right now. Steens after match promo was amazing. The fact that the crowd cheered him no matter what he said (including "f*** New York) was hilarious. And the point he made about them turning on champions is true, especially in the last few years. I'm really interested to see what Steen does next. |

According to PWI, the Guardians were the Headbangers. |

That was the headbangers, huh? That's interesting they put them under masks. Also, I thought one of them had arm tattoos that would have went over the sleeve. Either way, that's pretty neat. |

If you clicked the iPPV banner on their website, it took you directly to the stream without asking for any payment information. So anyone could have conceivably watched the show for free. |

Were you already signed in and had ordered Border Wars though? You could be right about things, I don't really know. That could make a difference though. I'm just happy they've gotten things straight. i hope this trend continues in upcoming iPPVs. I was in attendance for the show. Pretty good overall. Crowd was crapting on Finlay/Eligin for a while but those idiots eventually started chanting the most common chant in roh, "this is awesome" Yeah, it annoyed me when those guys started crapping on the match. It was a little slow, but i really liked it. I did enjoy when other fans started telling them to shut up  |

I wish i wasnt at work -_- Sounds like a good show and i approve of the headbangers being the guardians of truth. I really like them. Work for cheap? No mosh said in his AOW interview that he really on wrestles from time to time and when all of ythe "boys" are there too. So they mustve got a pretty good deal with roh for a few months. Steen retaining makes me really happy cause this saturday Im going to a show and its Steen defending against roderick. Its going to be one hell of a sow. Im shocked Davey isnt on the card but like literally everyone else is. If anyone is giving the Headbangers a good deal in 2012 then that company is doomed. |

It's not the Headbangers. They aren't relevant I don't think anyone would pay them to work these days unless it's some fourth rate has-been based indy. Anyone think it could be Carnage Crew?

Well the website who reported it was told it was the Headbangers. They have a connection to Cornette so no reason to think it was the Carnage Crew who also aren't relevant today. |

It was the Headbangers, from our seats in the side boxes we could see some of the backstage area and they unmasked almost as soon as they got to the back. |
