- Steel Cage Warfare: Team ROH (BJ Whitmer, Jay Lethal, Michael Elgin & Kevin Steen) def. SCUM (Jimmy Jacobs, Rhett Titus, Cliff Compton & Rhino). SCUM won the con flip and will get the man advantage. Jacobs and Whitmer start the match off. Titus in next followed by Elgin and Compton. Whitmer is the first to be eliminated before Jay Lethal and Rhino enter and the latter is eliminated by Lethal. Steen is the last entrant and is immediately attacked by Hardy. The cage door is left open and all the guys quickly spill out of the ring. Titus is the next to eliminated by Lethal but he is then pinned by Compton after a chair shot. Elgin managed to eliminate Compton but ‘Unbreakable’ is the next out after a fireball from Steve Corino. Corino tries to do the same to Steen but Nigel makes the save and helps Steen pin Jacobs as Team ROH wins! SCUM have to disband per the stipulations of the match. Adam Cole is on the entranceway but Nigel tells SCUM to leave. Jacobs leaves on his own accord as Hardy and Corino require security.

I heard a live report saying that Steel Cage Warfare was a possible MOTY (also Elgin vs. Ciampa from the PPV).

Yea I read these bastards too. Only way I been keepin up with ROH. Now now SCUM, so now what?

Well Hardy stole the ROH World Title belt and the champ is injured, so I assume they'll use that as leverage to keep it going for a bit.

Is it me or do these results seem like out of nowhere quick booking, I just can't get over my head that ROH would finally defeat SCUM in a live tapings show and before ever really got to see SCUM do any real harm to ROH, not even when Steen was champion did we really see ROH in jeopardy or anything.

also, Brutal Bob Evans vs Bennett? HELL YEAH!

So the speculation is that after the initial invasion at the 11th Anniversary Show SCUM didn't do anything that actually made it seem like they were trying to "kill" ROH in any way, and fans got annoyed at it. They were just booked like a gigantic version of the Prophecy... which would have been fine if Corino hadn't kept saying that they were going to kill the company. But because they kept talking about killing the company, it felt like there had been almost no forward motion at all towards that particular goal in three months, so Delirious rushed the blow-off.
Another major complaint was that the SCUM guys weren't really putting on ROH quality matches (aside from Jacobs), and Compton and Hardy were major targets of this (Rhett, too, to a lesser extent). Basically it felt like the angle was both not going anywhere and dragging the quality of the shows down, so they decided to kill it (once again, this is all speculation).

I think this is all great momentum for Hardy to win the title; which I feel is GREAT for the potential Adam Cole title run....

by the time Hardy's run is near it's in, Cole will become the fan favorite. And (if he's as good a heel as everyone says he is/was in CZW) then he could be such a heel Hardy could be the face in the situation.

i really don't know what they expected, Hardy was never a MOTY guy, Compton sucks, he's just an IWC favorite cuz he's best friends with Cabana and Punk, Rhett hasn't been as near as good since Kenny left, Rhino and Jimmy are hits and misses, sometimes they work amazingly and sometimes they're just lacking. I think Cole was gonna end up being their ace, but i guess it's too late for that.

As much as i don't want Hardy as the champ, i say give it to him and retake the Cole/Hardy feud they had for the TV title, i felt that had been working really good.

Hardy will never be the face. Ever. Too many fans have such a visceral dislike of him and a disregard for his abilities. ROH fans view him the way that TNA fans view "WWE rejects" (except that most ROH fans who don't like Hardy will acknowledge that he probably does draw people.

I agree with you about SCUM (although all of Hardy's matches in 2005 in ROH were between great and awesome) and I thought the Final Battle 2012 match with Cole was great live, so I can see why their would have been some excitement.

I thought that Cole vs. Hardy was where they were going with things before Border Wars when Corino made the challenge to the match that would give a SCUM guy a world title shot. I thought Cole would go over Jay (I never saw Jay as a long-term champ, and if I were booking, I wouldn't have put the belt on him in the first place), then face (and likely beat) Hardy for the title at Best in the World.

With the way he has been booked at the past few shows, having Cole wind up a babyface at the end of this would be very disappointing.

I feel like they're doing with him the same thing TNA is doing with AJ, kinda; it's like they're giving him an edge so that he comes off to EVERYONE as more than just an excellent wrestler and "good guy."
