RoH TV for Mother's Day Weekend

-Match 1: Mike Posey VS RD Evans (w/Veda Scott & Ramon)

-So the streak is now 99-0, and Evans has a "YES" chant rip-off. Cute opening as Evans blocks a kick, and uses his height to slap Posey around. This match ends up being all about cuteness, as Posey dubs himself "King of the Legdrop" and misses a bunch of them. Evans hits a spear and acts like Goldberg before trying to finish with a small package instead of a jackhammer. Evans finishes with a top rope legdrop to go "100-0". *1/2 This whole deal with Evans and the streak is so weird. It's different, which makes it stand out from the "serious business" RoH is most of the time.

-Now it's the first live "Fish Tank". reDRagon try, with varying success, to be hipster versions of Chris Jericho circa 1998. They annoy their guest Michael Elgin, leading to a match.

-Jay Briscoe wants his fake world title belt back. Well he shouldn't have put it on the line in a match then.

-Match 2: reDRagon VS Hanson & Raymond Rowe

-The crowd goes from hot for a possible match involving reDRagon and Elgin, to silent when Hanson & Rowe come out and hit some nice power moves. The rookies dominate, and I really don't get having your dominate tag team and current #1 contenders being treated like a joke. reDRagon end up bailing and getting counted out, running into the crowd to escape when Elgin tries backing them into the ring. I don't get this at all. *, for some nice stuff from the rookies.

-MOMENTS AGO: reDRagon run from the building and escape in Kyle's mom's van.

-Match 3: RoH World Champion Adam Cole, Matt Hardy, & Michael Bennett (w/Maria) VS Kevin Steen & The Briscoes

-Hardy has put a sticker with his face on it over the visage of Jay on the fake world title. Again the crowd pops for the entrances, then dies once the bell rings. They try to copy the Shield PPV 6 man formula with a chaotic opening before settling into a lengthy heat segment (in this case on Mark Briscoe), but it doesn't work in front of a small crowd that doesn't seem to care very much. The faces make a comeback before Jay & Hardy fight to the back, then Cole pins Mark with the Florida Key. **1/2 Decent tag formula stuff, but damn am I glad this taping cycle is over.

-Cole & Bennett go for a beatdown on Steen, but Mark helps Steen fight back, and Steen ends the show by beating the shit out of Adam Cole, trying twice, and failing, to powerbomb him through the timekeeper's table.

-FINAL THOUGHTS: I wonder who gave reDRagon a Chris Jericho comp.
