Cobb winning was the right call here.

– Angelina Love and Velvet Sky arrive, of course after Madison suggested it and left. Mandy Leon now arrives and they jump Kelly and lay her out. They then take out Jenny Rose and Stella Grey. The crowd shits all over it.

– We get Mega Ran performing. The show has grinded to a halt. Bully Ray interrupts. Mega Ran begs off and Bully says the fans want him to kick his ass and he attacks.

Juice hits a spinebuster and Gordon hits the 450 for the win. Flip Gordon, Mark Haskins, & Juice Robinson defeated Bully Ray, Silas Young, & Shane Taylor @ 15:05 via pin [**] This was ok for what it was, but the booking of the ROH portion of the show feels like such a mess so far. Giving the entire Bully Ray segment 20-mimutes while Suzuki & Ishii are n the pre-show was such bullshit. That’s not understanding your audience.

Dragon Lee defeated Bandido and Champion Taiji Ishimori @ 8:55 via pin [**** ] This was a great all action sprint that made the best of their time and gave us a surprise title change. But the Bully shit should have gone shorter and these guys could have used some of what he got. Fuck off Lizard man for the Bully segment.

– They wheel out an electric chair and use it to properly fire up PCO.

– Yano steals the IWGP tag titles post match.

The final score: review Good
The 411
This was certainly a tale of two shows, with NJPW delivering bangers and a NJPW experience, while ROH failed and opted to trot out the Beautiful People, gave a cold Kenny King another title chance, went too long with the Bully Ray shit, Klein’s title win, and wasted a huge opportunity on the biggest platform possible. Only the Rush win was their bright spot. While inconsistent overall due to that, the strength of the NJPW side made this a good show that could have and should have been better.
