    I'm confused on how Kane won "Most Overrated." I've never seen anyone say anything good about how he is now... Unless they are talking about how WWE is using Kane.

    exactly, nobody likes Kane anymore or wants to see him on TV...yet he's always on TV in segments and in main events.

    Anyways according to an interview with Super Crazy, NJPW essentially "bought" Pro Wrestling NOAH.

    EDIT: I guess I was wrong, it's more of a business relationship where NJPW is helping out Pro Wrestling NOAH, so basically NOAH "works" for NJPW.

    Joe back in ROH should be good. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up Sunday night

    Matches were good, but the main event left a sour taste in my mouth. Way to make your world champion look weak going into a match against the "legend of ROH" Samoa Joe.

    So you weren't impressed by the ME or the ROH PPV, which one is it? ME action wise was fine but it was definitely overbooked but not too surprising from a fatal four way, but still hurt the match. Jay Briscoe is 2 time champ (only second man to do so), was never pinned for the title (stripped) and hasn't been pinned in 2 years...this is the current storyline they are running with. I'm assuming you're saying weak cause he got knocked out and fell on the guy for the pin...well they were in Vegas and whole PPV was about odds and chances.

    Mainly the main event I wasn't impressed with, but it puts a shade over the rest of the PPV imo. The main event really killed the "ROH isn't like WWE" idea that people say, when they had a WWE-esque finish. I just don't think Jay Briscoe should of won out of luck if they are really trying to build to a big match with Samoa Joe.

    The rest of the card was pretty good, bar 1-2 matches though. I just wasn't as impressed with the PPV as past ones I've watched.
