Welcome to our review of this year’s Ring of Honor Final Battle pay-per-view, the latest PPV under the auspices of Tony Khan – a year after Roh’s future looked bleak during the last Final Battle show! Let’s see what went down…
Roh Final Battle – Zero Hour: Match #1: Jeff Cobb def. Mascara Dorada The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Mascara Dorada jumped off the ropes with a Mexican arm drag takeover on Cobb. Outside the ring, Cobb caught Dorada and smashed him into the steel ring post! Cobb went to work on the ribs and back of Dorada, trying to neutralize him. Dorada ducked a clothesline and hit Cobb with a spectacular tornillo over the top rope on Cobb! Dorada followed up with a springboard senton onto Cobb for a near fall! Cobb yanked Dorada off the top rope and squashed Dorada with a standing moonsault for a two-count.

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, this week features nine matches once again and a number of big-name stars rather than jobbers! We’ve got Ian Riccaboni, Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary, so let’s get into the review…
Match #1: The Butcher, The Blade and Rush def. Doug Love, Channing Thomas and Brett Gosselin
My Thoughts: This was a squash match but a good squash match – you want to see guys like The Butcher, The Blade and Rush demolish their opponents and that’s what we got here.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Willow Nightingale and Hikaru Shida def. Leva Bates and Emi Sakura
My Thoughts: Willow Nightingale teams with another Japanese talent and it looks and feels just as “right” as her tag team with Riho last week. Good to Leva Bates in action too. Nice women’s tag match – something that...

Match #1: Men’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament Quarter-Final Match – Ricky Starks def. Lance Archer The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
The match began backstage with both brutes brawling! Lance threw Starks like a lawn dart into an overhead garage door in the back of the arena. Archer jumped over the guardrail right onto Ricky Starks. The bell to begin the match finally rang. Starks hit a lariat on Archer, sending Archer over the top rope and onto the arena floor. Archer fought back with a chokeslam to Ricky onto the ring apron. Ricky fought his...

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation which sees the show get back to a longer card, featuring seven matches this week. We’ve got Excalibur and Mark Henry on commentary and the Dark Order in Another main event! Let’s get into the review…
Match #1: Nyla Rose def. Max the Impaler
My Thoughts: Well Max the Impaler certainly has an interesting look! Max was also a fantastic foil for Nyla, seemingly matching her beat for beat. This one could have done with more time and a not-so-quick ending. But hey ho, we’re back to quick matches packed in a short amount of time on Dark and Elevation it seems.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Private Party def. Camaro Jackson and Sk Bishop
My Thoughts: I’m not the biggest fan of Private Party but I do like it when they treat matches more seriously.
