I know he pinned Mark, which built up to the Briscoes vs Elgin/Tanahashi Match this Friday. Speaking of which, who else is ready for The 14th Anniversary?! What a stacked card! Love the fresh and exciting matches - especially the main. Take note WWE. A must buy for me when it is released on DVD and we finally get a good sale! I find it odd how both FastLane & the 14 Anniversary show have triple threat main events pertaining to the future of the companies respective primary championship. Secondly, this card really does have a great line-up, but I worry certain matches will have less than satisfactory outcomes. Looking at you Young Bucking Retards & All Night Excuses.

Really good show. Fun crowd. Dalton Castle is OVER! Crowd didn't seem to care much for Whitmer v Page, and the tag title match. I think we were just tired and need a break during those matches. Talked to Lethal briefly. And just rode the elevator with Jay Briscoe. Talked about DDP Yoga. HA!

Kenny Omega is my Lord and Savior. Lethal's finisher is really dumb, but Taeler Hendrix makes up for it, somewhat.

Seemed like the crowd chanted for him thru the whole match. He may have got pop of the night. Definitely up to that point. Young Bucks (ugh) were right up there too. I'm not a fan of the YB, but I will admit that was a damn fun match to watch live. Oh yeah, Whitmer Page was TERRIBLE to watch live too.

My thoughts on the show: It seemed like Ishii threw off Strong & Fish's timing to me. Whitmer vs Page had no heat. It's good to see the MCMG back together.
Castle vs Goto was a fun match but I wish they'd actually let Dalton win from time to time.
Okada & Moose had my favorite match of the night. The 6 man was basically a showcase for Omega but the crowd ate it up. Bucks are still super over.
War Machine/ANX got the death spot coming after the 6 man spot fest but honestly I wasn't that hot for that match anyway.
Main event was exactly what it should have been. It didn't make sense for anyone but Lethal to go over based on the way they have booked Cole & O' Reilly. I enjoyed it, not as much as I did Final Battle but still all in all a good time.

Almost forgot to mention, MDT Bill was here. I talked to him. I asked about Brutus Beefcake. He said, there's a better chance now than there was before. Also said he doesn't reply to the boards mostly because he's so busy. If I see him tomorrow I'm definitely getting a pic!

SO happy I spent my 34.99$ tonight.
I enjoyed almost every match, but I can't stomach the young bucking fools no matter the circumstances.
For starters, "The Stone-Pitibull" Tomohiro Ishii seemed to be suffering from Jet Lag, since he hasn't frequented to the states as often as his fellow NJPW roster members, so I'm slightly more impressed that he was able to defend the ROH TV title when it seemed as though Roderick Strong was truly possessed by spirits, & Bobby Fish was particularly alert.
BJ Whitmer (who was returning to competition after knee-surgery) demonstrated how regardless of time off, the brain doesn't rust. Adam Page appeared to lack conviction in his newfound disdain for his former mentor. However, he brought forth the animosity he displayed on ROH TV last week; when his Forward-running Shooting-Star-Press off the apron was essentially a vicious headbutt.
Puroresu's last Samurai was given a true handful in Dalton Castle. The Suplexing Peacock of Honor's Ring gave a true showcase of his esoteric idiosyncrasies & mat-game changing offense. And while it may not have been enough to score a victory over someone who is arguably his greatest opponent to date, it was certainly enough to conduct the Las Vegas fans into a chorus of chants in his favor.
Alex Shelley faired well for a man in an unofficial two-on-one Handicap-Match; and was surprised by the assistance of a former partner for his troubles. Many of us watching were quite surprised to see an impromptu Motor-City Machine Guns reunion in Sam's Town Hall, but I'm holding off on celebrating until Sabin proves his change of heart.
The Briscoes presented a tremendous clinic on how to compete against a team consisting of An Unbreakable Machine & Japan's answer to John Cena only better. Unfortunately for Mark & Jay, however, they forgot the last pages of their lesson plan in their hotel rooms. A splendid tag-team contest regardless, & a significant win for Hiroshi Tanahashi & Michael Elgin.
As a wrestling purist whether I want to be or not, I have been skeptical of the former Atlanta Falcons player known as "Moose," since he made it to Honor's stage; as I am with all journeymen wrestlers entering the profession after a failed gridiron career. Moose has earned my respect for his athleticism on various occasions, but tonight he proved that he understands the showmanship & psychological strategy that makes for a truly great wrestler through his clever back & forth against the ACE of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
ACH, Kushida, & Matt Sydal are among my favorite Junior Heavyweight competitors from the two promotions represented tonight. When I discovered they would be wrestling against the newly christened NEVER Openweight Tag-Team Champions, Kenny Omega & (Less than ideal) company, I felt the aforementioned trio's chances of winning a non-title contest were a matter of overconfidence on part of The self-proclaimed "Elite of The Bullet Club." However, when I discovered that the match had been changed to have the NEVER titles at stake, & remembering that Kenny Omega has recently gone insane with lust for power & feelings of total freedom to achieve it, I slowly felt my preferred team's chances slipping away. My sense of foresight was proven sufficient.
In the semi-main-event, we were treated to a match I had been specifically excited for, as my love of war history makes me especially fond of seeing turncoats punished. The Ring Of Honor Tag-Team Champions, War Machine, were to be tested in their first defense of the titles on Pay-Per-View since tearing down the Kingdom to gain the gold at the 2015 edition of Final Battle. Their opponents, Kenny Pawn & Wretch Titus, had cheated their way to the number one contendership, & were given their just due in that regard. Not to mention how delicious it was to see Kenny sent through a ladder-bridge from the apron to the guardrail by Raymond Rowe, after King's classless remarks in reference to Rowe's near fatal Motorcycle accident. By way of gold, they forged their swords & by said swords' blade, another so-called King & company fall victim at the hands of Honor's Two-Man Viking Army.
And finally, ROH's answer to Buddy Rogers, Jay Lethal, defended the ROH world title against the most deserving, & the most demanding challengers to his title, respectively. A war of skill, emotions, fortitude, & a debate to determine the very existence of luck was waged in the 14th Anniversary Card Main Event. While you may find contrarian opinions in the press releases of Truth Martini, Jay Lethal certainly gave a convincing closing statement in favor of Luck's existence; when his finishing maneuver "Lethal Injection" took out BOTH Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly; thus allowing Lethal to score the pinfall victory.
My questions going forward is this. "What sort of apologetics will Adam Cole concoct to defend his victimization?" And Will O'Reilly find himself receiving another opportunity in the near future? Jay Lethal has a mountainous task ahead of him, in the form of retaining the Ring Of Honor World Championship through the duration of 2016, & he may very well have already felt the wrath of the man, or Dragon, who will dethrone him.

TV taping was lots of fun. Started with Internet only match Will Ferrara v Brian Kendrick. You'll see the rest in the weeks to come. Night ended with a GREAT match without honor Silas Young v Dalton Castle.

The 14th anniversary was an ok show, nothing really blew me away but nothing was bad besides a botched pin in the opener and the crowd be half asleep. I guess Ishii is going to keep the TV title until May, Okada vs. Moose was alright, Moose hung in there well but didn't impress me while Okada worked to his level. Tana mailed it in, The 6 man was good, War Machine vs. ANX sucked, crowd was dead as heel and the fact i hate War Machine didn't help things. The main event was good and if it were longer would have been great but it's clear they had a time limit. I wonder who will be Jay Lethal's next challenger.

Adam Page has sooooooo much potential. And he's only 24, too. He could get really good.

Fantastic episode of TV this week. Rush/Martinez and Cole vs Sydal both delivered. I really hope Lio wins Top Prospect. Also, it was great to see Sydal get a big win over Cole. ROH on Comet | March 3rd, 2016 | Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser vs The Boys | **1/2 | Brian Fury vs Action Ortiz | ** | Lio Rush vs Punisher Martinez | ***1/2 | Matt Sydal vs Adam Cole | **** |

If lio or David Starr do not win the tpt then roh has failed me. The final is set as Brian Fury vs Lio. Makes zero sense to me that Fury is a top prospect.. even though he's been a pro since 1999.

Brian Fury has people who hold that opinion RIGHT where he wants them. He wants every man he faces to write him off as a speed-bump instead of a wall. Easy wins equates to easy money & a longer career. A veteran of Fury's inclination knows that every match is the equivalent of running into a lion's den to get your dinner. Come back in one piece with the steak & you win. This is why he lost to Lio Rush. The kid has no concept of wrestling, UNLESS... He's fighting from underneath. He has to treat every opponent as a brush with death, which justifies his ridiculous match pace, & otherwise illogical offense. He breaks the flippy shark rule.
