Unfortunately, The Best in the World PPV was a continuation of ROH\u2019s downward trend. Almost every match had a poorly booked ending, or was simply not exciting (Pure Rules match, I\u2019m looking at you).<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3280588912\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Two matches were good. Taylor and Bandido stole the show; and the six-man tag match was good, until the post match stuff at least. The main event was under ten minutes and destroyed Jeff Cobb\u2019s undefeated record, for almost no reason. Objectively, it makes no sense to book Cobb so strong for months to simply make Taven look chicken-ish heel strong.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, ROH feels like &#8217;00 &amp; &#8217;01 WCW. We have almost no clean finishes on PPVs. All the matches are slow, boring, and short. The storylines are underdeveloped and essentially don\u2019t matter. The way Taven chose to work his match with Cobb reminded me so much of Hollywood Hogan, minus the charisma; just the match quality.<\/p>\n<p>If you read the spoilers for the Philadelphia TV tapings, then you know that nothing too extraordinary or exciting is happening any time soon in the world of ROH. Which is really what makes 2019 ROH look like 2001 WCW.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years. He\u2019s from Columbus, Ohio.
