ROH held TV tapings at the Du Burns Arena in Baltimore, MD tonight. They also announced that they will be returning for more TV tapings on March 3rd. Basically the Du Burns Arena has become their unofficial home for TV tapings since it is the home base for SBG. Crowd is said to look larger than last time.
Episode 1

ROH World Title match Champ Davey Richards vs TV Champ Jay Lethal turns into clusterf*** after Tommaso Ciampa, Kyle O’Reilly, Eddie Edwards, Adam Cole, and I think the HOT come out. Apparently it causes Richards retains. Ciampa has staredown with both Lethal and Richards who shake hands post-match

The arena was 87% pack, the crowd was in to most of the matches At times the crowd screamed some dumb shit
This was my first #ROH taping… To me it took them too long between matches I kept losing interest plus that 10 minute intermission overall I’d go again
