•Closing Commentary

I have one name to sum up ROH in 2019. Alex Shelley.

Alex Shelley

Alex

Shelley

I am trying to be as kind as possible here. But, you are going to try and build a show in a great market like Toronto around a main event of Matt Taven vs. Alex Shelley. Get out of here. Am I literally in the upside down? Who could have possibly cleared this? How did someone not say something? Am I missing something huge here? Is Alex Shelley the greatest performer that has been away for some time? Is this a CM Punk showing up to All Out type of moment?

I think not. Alex Shelley….
