#BestintheWorld 2013 Preview #WatchROH

GRUDGE MATCH
BJ Whitmer vs "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett w/ Maria Kanellis
I don't really recall the grudge these two have. I guess they had a match but there wasn't any real build up to this match. That doesn't mean it will be bad though. I like BJ's toughness, and Mike Bennett is a good wrestler as well. Now that I think about it. didn't BJ Kiss Maria?

TAG TEAM ATTRACTION
The American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) vs Adrenalin RUSH (ACH & Tadarius Thomas)

This is going to be a great match. Every one knows that I love tag team matches. i am a fan of both teams and have reason to want both to win. Not sure how I will feel on Saturday. Davey may turn on the crowd if they are behind ACH too much. This is a must see match.

SPECIAL CHALLENGE MATCH
"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs "Sicilian Psychopath" Tommaso Ciampa

Another match that I can't wait for. I am a huge Ciampa fan so I am pulling for him. I like Elgin also, and he is a beast. I hope this match lives up to my expectations. Not sure if the two will have ring chemistry, but if they do look out.

RETURN MATCH FROM HONOR IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Roderick Strong vs Adam Cole

Strong has done everything there is to do in ROH. Won every title. and has been in some of the best matches in ROH history. So I guess he is the gatekeeper of sorts. Adam Cole is the young wrestler with tons of potential, that possibly has a world title reign in his future. I look for Cole to win the match and show his darker side. We shall see.


GRUDGE MATCH
"Mr Wrestling" Kevin Steen vs Matt Hardy

I like Matt Hardy's Character in ROH. I just don't believe he can beat Kevin Steen in a grudge match. But, (and there is a but) Hardy has S.C.U.M. on his side. So I have to say I think Matt Hardy wins. Wow now I have heart burn.

ROH WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP
ROH World TV Champion Matt Taven w/ Truth Martini vs Jimmy Jacobs vs. Jay Lethal

I don't like three way title matches. I like three way challenges to be number one contender. I am not sure how I fell about this match. Lethal is one of my guys but his won't be his match. I think this will be Jimmy Jacobs match. He could be a TV Champion for a while.

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
ROH World Tag Team Champions reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) vs S.C.U.M (Rhett Titus & Cliff Compton) vs Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander

I still don't like three way matches for titles, but I hope these matches show me something. I like C & C and reDRagon. So we will be in for a big match. I am not sure what to expect with S.C.U.M. being involved in this and the previous match. I am just going to have to see what happens.
Jay Briscoe vs Mark Briscoe

Jay is going to win, but this is going to be one heck of a match. I have seen two of the matches these two have had. I can only imagine how this macth will be as their skills have grown since then. They promised never to fight again, but here it is. In Baltimore, not far from Sandy Fork, DE. This will be a great Main Event. I can't wait.
