Examining the Value of Ring of Honor's Tenth Anniversary IPPV


On Sunday, March 4th at 5:00 EST Ring of Honor presents their 10th Anniversary Show from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City live on iPPV via Go Fight Live.

The price tag on the broadcast is $9.99. I am going to break down the value of this show based on the current card and what I feel everything is worth. I will update it due to any new announcements.

The Amazing Red & "Technical Lightning" TJ Perkins vs The House of Truth ("Unbreakable" Michael Elgin & Roderick Strong) w/ Truth Martini VALUE - $.50

Jimmy Jacobs takes on "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" Kevin Steen VALUE - $.50

Jay Lethal defends against "The Dominant Male" Tommaso Ciampa w/ The Embassy LTD. VALUE - $.25
ADDITIONAL VALUE - $.05 due to the presence of Mia Yim at ringside. TOTAL VALUE - $.30 

Jay & Mark Briscoe defend against the Young Bucks VALUE - $4.00

ROH's tag division is incredibly strong and I am looking forward to this match the most on the card. I've said the Briscoes are the best tag team in the world today. They are the complete package as far as tag teams go. The Young Bucks are not far behind. The built-in "no handshake" gimmick from the heat they received for not shaking hands with the likes of Golddust and Booker T during a WWE trout is phenomenal. Their in-ring ability and athleticism is arguably the best in the business. This should a great tag title match.

ROH World Champion Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly vs. "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole
VALUE - $2.50

Edwards/Richards II from "Best in the World" and Edwards/Richards III from "Final Battle" were two of my favorite matches from last year. This main event will surely be heavily MMA-influenced as all these men are great strikers and submission artists. O'Reilly has been a huge breakout star with tons of potential. The great storyline of the break of two teams in the American Wolves of Edwards and Richards and Future Shock of O'Reilly and Cole has been booked great. I love the pairing of Richards and O'Reilly, Team Ambition, as they are real-life training partners. I expect this to go a long time and be great, possibly a time limit draw. Will be interesting to see how this one is booked.

CURRENT VALUE of CURRENT CARD - $7.80

ADDITIONAL VALUE

World's Greatest Tag Team vs. All Night Express has been added to the card. Decent teams, not big fans of either, should be an ok match - $.05

"Prodigy" Mike Bennett w/ Brutal Bob and Maria Kanellis - $.50 for Maria

TOTAL VALUE - $8.35

Hold up...



This promo from #demboys has added an additional value of $5.99 making the Briscoes/Young Bucks match worth the price of the iPPV alone.

GRAND TOTAL VALUE - $14.34 making me confirm this event as a DEFINITE BUY.
