⭐️Kayhan: “Hey at least they’re trying something here. I wouldn’t have minded this on Dynamite. I’m kinda surprised they actually tried to run some kind of angle here on ROH. Not bad. I like Dustin and Sami calling the Righteous out for not being Righteous.😆”

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I see they’re giving this Beef and JD Drake angle a lot of run time but I’m not very fond of it. I won’t give a 👎 because at least they’re consistently trying something but Beef is just annoying… but the real story here. What the hell is up with Peter Avalon?!”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Interesting booking. A bit surprised but I guess they plan on using Isis. So why not get her a win. Solid win against a decent name. That elevates her a bit.”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “The spot where they couldn’t break the table twice made it on our podcast this week (#133) as Botch of the Week. The stair spot was crazy! They really went all out in this one. The skewer spot was sick. I think it was a decent place to use that spot. Lexi Nair with Athena is terrible. They need to stop that. Otherwise this was a pretty good spectacle. They timed it well to get Abadon on Halloween for the title. This was a pretty good use of her.”

=====

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Interesting seeing Taven entering the Pure Rules scene. Taven & Moriarty could be a good match. I think it’s good that they got Taven a nice win slipping him into this picture. So I don’t have a problem with this. But I wasn’t too wild for it either.”

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I usually give anything with Premiere Atheletes a 👎 but at least this thing made some sense with OReilly coming to the aid of his stablemate. Because of the consistency, I won’t take off points. But I didn’t really like this either.”

=====

10) Top Flight & Action Andretti Pick Up Victory In 6-Man Tag Action

ONE SEGMENTS (6:54)

-Match: Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin) & Action Andretti vs Jah-C, Trip Jordy & Dante Leon... Winners: Top Flight & Action Andretti by pinfall... Dante Leon took the pin from Dante Martin

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Actually an interesting development. I liked this! But I would have liked it even more if the Infantry won a little quicker after the interference from Trish & Shane. That was a great spot but it shoulda lead to the finish. But overall I think good things about this.”

=====

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I guess i could make sense of Diamanté losing her sanity for a second and getting DQd in her last title match. So I don’t have a problem with her getting on the comeback trail. This one avoids a 👎 from me.”

=====

ONE SEGMENTS (11:00)

-Match: Dark Order (Uno, Reynolds, Silver) vs Iron Savages (Boulder, Bronson) & Jacked Jameson ...Winners: Dark Order by pinfall... Bear Bronson took the pin from Alex Reynolds

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I don’t mind either of these two teams getting on the card. At this point, Dark Order can use any chances to look good, seeing as how they’re on the main angle on Dynamite.”

=====

TWO SEGMENTS (14:51)

-Pre Match Segment: Mark Sterling promo walking Ari Diavari down the entrance ramp

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Again, usually I’m down on Premiere Atheletes. But they’ve given Komander a consistent push so I’ll give em credit for that. I also thought it was a bit funny that Komander is so over these guys that they can even cheat and still can’t win.”
