Ring of Honor’s style of WCW-esque overbooking meets PWG-spotfest might not be for everyone, but you can’t say the wrestlers don’t go all out for our entertainment.

Their Final Battle pay-per-view (PPV) from the Hammerstein Ballroom last night (Dec. 14) was no exception. The Elite’s swan song is getting most of the press, and will probably have the biggest impact on the business of anything that happened in Manhattan on Friday, but there was plenty of action to go around.

Thanks y’all. Also, please don’t die.
