Venue: Curtis Culwell Center
TV station/network: ROHWrestling.com, YouTube (Pre-show).
Commentary by: Caprice Coleman & Ian Riccaboni
Overall Show Score: 6/10
Pros: This event did feel like a mixed-bag. I’m glad Ethan Page showed more aggression in his I Quit match. The wrestling itself was solid at best and my favourite match was between FTR & Mark Briscoe vs Daniel, Moxley & CASTAGNOLI.
Cons: This event was billed as an ROH broadcast, But unfortunately it was completely overshadowed by both AEW branding everywhere, and the over use of AEW wrestlers. The finish to the Pure title match was a mess and too many interferences included on this event. Not having the ROH World Champion at your event to defend his championship sucks.
