- ROH Tag Title match: Briscoes vs. Haas & Benjamin in a Fight Without Honor
- Lance Storm vs. "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett
- Rhino vs. "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards
- "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs. Adam Cole
- Jay Lethal vs. Tommaso Ciampa
- ANX & T.J. Perkins vs. Young Bucks & Mike Mondo in a six-man tag match

I was reading that if you ordered this, the website had issues and was down for most people.

Yeah its been down.

Already requested the refund. Following on Twitter.

WGTT beat Briscoes using "a Giant Gonzalez towel".

Bennett-Storm sounded awesome as well.

Steen has to win next.

I'm now in a position to watch the show. If you'll pardon the expression. How would I do that if their Internet is broken again?

That Steenalizer is going to kill someone. For a big man he has great moves, but if he ever makes it to the E they wouldn't let him use half of them.

Probably true.

The sidewinder suplex is pretty cool though.

WOW. I can't believe they pulled the trigger. Faith in wrestling had been restored again. I have more fun watching him than anyone else.

Was it just good or awesome? I like how the booked the entire angle. He lost a loser leaves town match and actually left for a year and everything made sense when he returned.

I didn't get to see it Bob. I ordered it but it had problems all night.

I was pretty pissed I missed it.

Post subject:  Re: Ring of Honor iPPV: Border Wars

that's 3 in a row with the ippv issues. sounds like you'll get the replay and BITW

and From the ROH Facebook page
Dear Fans,

Again we are extremely frustrated by the ippv result tonight and offer our deepest apologies. Since Showdown in the Sun, we have been working endlessly to provide an optimal ppv experience which we believe we have achieved.. For our website, we increased our server memory x3 and doubled its processing power. Still, it seems that our architecture could not handle the excessive user logins and we are left with a great stream that our fans can not see. If a refund is demanded, it WILL be given. Otherwise we would like to offer full retention of the replay for Border Wars as well as FREE access to the Best in the World PPV on June 24th for anyone who ordered Border Wars tonight. This will also include retention of the Best in the World PPV in your myPPV accounts. We WILL get this right no matter what it takes in time for Best in the World.

I can't imagine how pissed everyone in the company must be. You're scrapping to earn any profit possible and put on a great show. Oh, except one of your vendors can't get their shit together. So frustrating.

Border Wars was the first iPPV they were producing in-house as they had a falling out with their previous iPPV, GoFightLive.tv, when they experienced technical difficulties during their shows over Wrestlemania weekend.

It appears as though they were streaming from a Sinclair server (yeah, I did a whois on 'em.) There's a reason why you let a third party handle the streaming: chances are you have little ability to properly gauge the requirements. Simple things like, are the routers capable of that kind of sustained traffic? I appreciate they're wanting the cash-in-hand, as opposed to going through GoFightLive (who wants to hold onto the cashflow for awhile, as well.) I look at "well, we added memory" as kinda funny. Better to have added a load balancer.

incidentally, i have a sonic screwdriver permanently in my inner coat pocket these days. it buzzes.
