ROH TRIED to put on one of their most anticipated shows of the year that had a couple of payoffs of different feuds that have a lot of hype behind them. Yet, they failed to deliver to loyal fans who bought the iPPV and put some of their hard earned money on a company that brings a very good product, but probably has the worst production out of a lot of independent companies. They can't use GoFightLive as a scapegoat this time.

In the process of watching all the backlash that would come from the failure of ROH to bring a quality PPV experience (or a PPV experience, at all) I went on to social media to find out ROH’s answer to their difficulties and the fans who would understandably be angry. Most of them wanted a refund, which is to be expected but there were a few, a select few who after this debacle STILL defended the company that has disappointed them again and again with their inability to broadcast iPPVs.

It has been known for a while. If Chael Sonnen won at UFC 136 he would get another shot at Anderson Silva. After a beautiful performance against Brian Stann that showed that Chael Sonnen has some jiujitsu prowess (offensively) Sonnen took the mic and delivered what I think is going be one of the greatest post-fight interviews in MMA history.

This was my first "marking out" for MMA ever. Sure there have been many exciting fights that I love, but nothing had me jumping and saying "ohshitohshitoshit" like that post-fight interview did. It was a feeling that I could only compare to the glass shattering anytime Stone Cold Steve Austin came out in the 90s. That pure feeling of joy and excitement that MMA or pro wrestling in general hadn’t gotten out of me in a while.  I hope everyone felt the same way I did during that interview. Even though it really won’t be a "loser leaves town" fight, I didn’t even think about it until my excitement went down.

Thank you Chael Sonnen, for bringing back that bit of extra excitement I’ve been missing for a while. Hopefully the next fight is as good or better than the first.
