HOOT AND A HALF.
It’s a pure sprint from start to finish and it all goes off without a hitch. The Colony is an all time great trio, but this is a little different for them, being like a pure Dragon System style mad dash to the finish line.
The three ROH guys get plugged in here and there. They’re fine, they hit their marks, but they could probably be any three competent wrestlers and this match would have been exactly as great as it was. The ROH team tries to play in the format and work as fast and loose as the Colony does, and they just can’t. They get distracted by legal man rules and lose track of things. TJ rolls up Fire Ant at the end, only for Green Ant to sneak in and roll them over, so Fire Ant’s cradle pins TJ Perkins.
It’s played off as close, but on a mechanical ass X’s and O’s level, The Colony have them at the end and always had them. The ROH team hangs in there, but they play a game to which they barely understand the rules and pay for it.
One of the most fun ROH matches of the year, not that anyone will ever or should ever go out of their way to see it besides the deeply disturbed and/or big Colony fans.
