Guess your feed didn't cut out. Some guy posting a match by match summary had his cut out twice, the last of which missed the end of the main event and went back as Kevin Kelly was recapping the big title match.

This was a really good show. Two matches I would consider pretty great (Elgin/Lethal and Wolves/reDRagon), and two that were very good (Strong/Anderson and Steen/Briscoe) with none that I would consider bad.
My feed cut out when Titus hit the apron in the main event. When I couldn't get it to come back up right away I got away from all social media and spoilers so I could watch from that point on when I could get it working right again. I'm glad I did, because I'd have been pissed if that ending would have been spoiled for me. Thanks to the new system ROH has in place for the iPPV the whole thing is available as it happens, so I wasn't sweating it too bad because I knew I'd be able to catch up pretty easily.

I think this is okay if it's a short reign. I don't know about a longer reign. To me, this is like Ricky Morton beating Ric Flair in 1986. It would've gotten a pop but wouldn't have worked long term.
I don't like Steen as champion but was it really a good move to take the belt off of him immediately. I've said before on here, I'm over large stables but it seemed like SCUM was the first thing that was getting them some traction. Now they have no belts at all. That seems counter productive. Give Hardy the TV belt if Steen is losing.

I see but doesn't him losing the title make it easier for the much rumored face turn. I really wish a Chicago station would start carrying the weekly show.

Totally shocked Briscoe won... definitely makes me wonder what the heck is going to happen with Steen next.
I didn't get a chance to watch, but I'm thinking I might buy it next big sale.

He doesn't have the belt and SCUM doesn't have the belt either. Most of the SCUM members are brand new to the company so they need built up a bit before you put the belt on them. It's really an oddball place to be in.

Cliff Compton. That's it.

But he's not a guy you can throw out there in super long main events with a lot of snowflakes attached. Nah, he's stating that Cliff Compton is the only member of SCUM that is new to the company. Jacobs, Titus, Corino have been there non-stop for quite some time; Rave has come and gone since practically the beginning; and Matt Hardy has been a presence in ROH for over six months now.

Rave is new in the sense that he hasn't been active recently. Jacobs, Titus and Corino, I don't count because who's going to take them seriously as World Title threats. You have to turn Rhino, Rave, Compton or Hardy into World Title threats for the group. All of them need some work IMO.

Well Fat Hardy can have a title shot if he wins at Border Wars.

So is Hardy still as shitty as he was in TNA? Is he actually a bigger mess than Jeff now?

Respectively, no and yes.
