Final Battle is shaping up well. Hope Danielson is still champion and retains it. Also hopes Colt wins the Pure Title matchup.

Good show. I am glad Danielson overcame everyone. I love the way you book Danielson, keep it up. The match itself was also good. I was surprised Shelley was eliminated before Dragon, but it was cool. The Briscoes as tag champs will be good, they are a solid team and worked hard to win that match. Strong/Evans is a great team though, the Briscoes showed tonight they could beat some of the best talent in ROH. Mcguinness retaining was what I predicted, and it should be. Lethal isn't ready to be Pure Champ, but he should be one day. The current Nigel/Cabana feud is probably the best in ROH. Great feud, Nigel plays a great heel, and Cabana just can't beat him. Overall, I liked this show. Keep it up, Chris.-

With that victory... this could take Lacey's Angels far in the Tag Team Division. ***1/2 Jimmy Yang vs. Toshiaki Kawada This was rather a contrast in styles. They really didn't really mix well together. But they locked up to start off the match. They exchange kicks. Kawada has the stronger kicks and that causes Yang to lose the war and fall to the ground.

OOOOOOOONEEEEEE..... TWWOOOOOOO.... THRE... NOOOOOOOOO! He almost got him. Rave is in shock. Mark is still alive. Jay kicks Nana in the face.

I really like this. The shows are really solid, aside from the match reviews, as EWR has terrible write-ups, but you make up for it with good matches, and writting your own promo's and such. As for the next show, it looks solid. Delirious/Danielson will be good no doubt. I really hope Delirious wins and gets a title shot.

Ring of Honor Show #19*The show kicks off with "Copa Cabana" blaring over the PA system* Colt Cabana vs. BJ Whitmer Whitmer's tag team partner has a really big task ahead of himself later in the night as he has the ultimate opportunity to capture the ROH Pure Title. If he doesn't... he's gone from Lacey's Angels. They lock up. Whitmer throws some punches to get this match off to a fast pace. Closeline to Cabana. Cover. 1...2... Cabana kicks out. Whitmer stomps away at Colt. He makes another pin. 1... Colt kicks out again. Whitmer picks him up. Cabana takes him over in a fireman's carry. He wrenches at the arm. Whitmer gets to the ropes. Whitmer gets up and goes for the Exploder Suplex. Cabana blocks it. Small package! 1....2..... Whitmer turns it into another small package. 1....2..... Cabana turns it back into his own small package. 1....2.... Whitmer grabs the ropes. Whitmer comes off the ropes, LARIAT! 1.....2...... NO! Cabana got a shoulder up!!! Whitmer is shocked. Whitmer picks up Colt. He goes for another Exploder Suplex. Cabana counters it into a school boy. 1..2..3! That was a pretty quick count; but a fair one at that. **** Alex Shelley is seen backstage in the locker room. Shelley: You know... Ultimo? It was at a Night of Tribute... where I first beat you in a good match. Then... the rematch was scheduled for Final Battle. Guess what? I beat you again. Can you even beat me? Ha... I'd say that is very questionable at this point and time. So Ultimo... later on... SIX-MAN TAG TEAM ACTION, huh?! Well Dragon... I hate to burst you bubble. But... the Embassy will prevail. Now maybe at Final Battle... the Briscoes won. But they won't tonight because I'm on the team. Hell... I'll admit that that tag team match with the Embassy and the Briscoes at Final Battle was one of the best damn matches I've seen in a long time. But everyone knows that the Briscoes had to be carried. Jonny Storm, Jimmy Rave, and I... will be victorious tonight. And Ultimo... be ready to lose Dissension. And for the other three teams... be ready to lose to the POWA OF JIMMAH RAVE *In Nana voice*. And for Dragon... well... the other Dragon... *Looks deep into camera*. Let's just say... the Embassy will be full of gold in the very near future.Jonny Storm, Alex Shelley, and Jimmy Rave vs. Ultimo Dragon and the Briscoes Alex Shelley starts the match off for the Embassy. Starting off for the other team is Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe wrenches the arm and puts him into a hammerlock. Shelley rolls out of it and puts his own hammerlock in. Shelley tags out to Jonny Storm.

BJ Whitmer vs. Colt Cabana - Nice, I'm a fan of Whitmer in almost any match without Jacobs in it. lol
The six man tag was STACKED. Amazing is all I'm going to say!
Claudio vs. Evans sounded pretty good.
I'm glad Nigel retained. Jacobs wouldn't be a very good Pure champ IMHO.
Delirious vs. Dragon sounded awesome! Delirious is the most underrated wrestler on the ROH roster.
