It wasn’t without its surprises, but Dec. 11’s ROH Final Battle did not feature things like a Samoa Joe run in or CM Punk being added to a match. Despite the fact the promotion is going on hiatus after tonight and faces an uncertain future, there wasn’t a parade of former champions at the show in Baltimore.
A lot of names from the past did send video messages that were played on the broadcast — including some of the biggest stars in Ring of Honor history.

Bryan Danielson’s message closed out the night, but his was preceded by ones from names like Eddie Edwards, Hangman Page, Jimmy Jacobs, Punk, Adam Cole, and The Young Bucks. Members of the WWE roster didn’t participate on the broadcast, but some of them did send thanks on social media during the show. Tweets and Instagrams also came from some of the same folks who sent videos.
Thank you for everything @ringofhonor

I fell in love with Independent Wrestling because of you. I found myself as a wrestler because of you. I traveled the world because of you.
And I wouldn’t be where I am without you. Thank you
280 characters couldn’t do it justice.

-convinced me to sign up for CHIKARA after attending their 1st show
-let me be a part of the rad ROH/CZW war
-hosted @FightOwensFight piledriving me in NYC
-allowed Jim Cornette to SCREAM in my earpiece while Los Ice Creams went over time
For all, I am thankful.
It felt like the end, but the closing message of the broadcast was that Final Battle isn’t the end. We still don’t know what form ROH will take after it’s reimagined, but they insist they’ll be back...
This isn't goodbye, it's see you later.
