This is ridiculous. Kingston has no exposure on the current show and he's main eventing a show they want people to pay for? Try Steen is the closest thing they have to someone with momentum and they're wasting him on outside talent.

Also, I nominate this for the worst PPV card for 2012.

It is a confusing event to add out of the blue like that. HOWEVER, being a follower of ROH and Chikara I'm happy to see that main event. I am not sure how in the world they can make sell to the regular ROH fans on such short notice, but I'm definitely going to buy it. Besides, Sara Del Rey is there----they DID start building that match this past weekend on TV---and Sara Del Rey is going to be there.
edit: They also kind of started the logic behind this with a comment from Cornette that he's looking outside of the company to find someone to take down Steen. But again, tough sell on short notice.
Did I mention Sara Del Rey?

Don't get me wrong, I'm cool with Steen/Kingston on a personal level. I just think it's stupid that you're main eventing a PPV with a total outsider that has little exposure with the modern product. This would be like the WWE announcing that CM Punk is going to face Austin Aries in the main event of Summerslam. People just aren't going to buy it for any reason. And to make matters worse, they stuffed a crappy card under it so you can't even make up for it with a stronger undercard.

We agree, MD. Perhaps they've got the production cost so low that it's a low risk investment and they know they'll do well with the crossover Chikara fans on DVD sales. I think it'll be a great main event, though.

I don't know who it appeals to. Kingston was never more than a mid-carder in RoH. And I don't think Chikara fans are going to buy an RoH DVD. I just don't see the logic in making this an event that you want fans to pay for on PPV and then to buy on DVD.

DIE HARDO/Del Rey vs. Bennett/Maria announced. Getting real sick of Bennett/Edwards matches.

Does anyone really need Maria to wrestle?

I just don't see the logic in making this an event that you want fans to pay for on PPV and then to buy on DVD. Wasn't he the 1st singles champ? I'd think that indicates some sort of push. RoH really needs... something. It just seems really blah right now.

Well, I am not 100% sure what the think here is but, hopefully Steen vs. Kingston will be a good match. Even if it is not built up properly, those two can give you a solid main event

Mondo vs. Strong added and for some reason they expect people to pay $15 for this show.

I honestly don't see a single PPV worthy match on that show.

Here's a first: I'm comparing the PPV cards for next weekend, and I'd much, much rather spend the extra $20 on that TNA PPV because it actually looks like a show I'd want to see over the $15 ROH iPPV. I don't think I've ever bought a TNA PPV over ROH before. This...this is what they make me do.

Part of me wants to order this and just make a huge weekend out of the TNA/ROH PPVs, but I can't justify $15 for this card. Steen/Kingston will probably be a hell of a match and Mondo/Strong may be real good, but the rest of the card looks god awful.
