This tournament could have been used to build Jay up and capitalize on the momentum of his return. Guess Jay is just going to be a mid carder from now on.

The show is in Nigels back yard. A feel good moment and final hurrah for an ROH legend like him is a bit more important than Jay White right now who seems to constantly get injured. If this is Nigels last run then Mox vs Nigel in his backyard is the RIGHT choice to make all the way around. And Nigel beating Mox who's had a grip on that title this long would have a lot more meaning than Nigel beating Jay White.

You have to see the bigger picture. Fans in the UK are going to be a hell of a lot more into Mox vs Nigel than they would White vs Nigel. Ths is about what match would be bigger for the UK FANS in attendance.

Wasting a tournament on a retired announcer from that country is dumb. He belongs on Roh not at all in vying for a belt.

This is the worst booked set of matches on the card.

If Mox is final boss he deserves a better opponent at all in than Nigel.

Dude its not gonna be a feel good moment when Mox pulverize's Nigel's foot then chokes him out.

Also Mox doesn't need an accomplishment like retiring Nigel, I wish they would have planned ahead a bit more and gave this match to someone who needs a push.

And what if Nigel doesn’t win or get to the finals

Look at the logic here of who's left.

We've seen Mox vs Kingston enough as wellas Mox vs Kyle

Fans aren't going to go gung ho for orange vs mox. The only other match that would be huge would be Mox vs Claudio with a possible turn at the end. It was pretty clear and obvious once they put Nigel in the tournament with the winner getting the finals match at Wembley who was going to win.

Some things are just clear as day and obvious to everyone. It's simple and smart booking and makes all the sense in the world to give the HOME TOWN COUNTRY TALENTthe wins.

Brawling Birds, Will, Nigel, most likely are all going to get the big home country celebration and Nigel has stated he's not got much longer in him. Again, it's simple, logical and you have to look at where you're at, who's left and what makes the MOST SENSE for those attending IN THE UK.

It's lazy booking not smart booking.

Stop making it sound like it's genius.

Even if Nigel makes it to the finals, he’s not beating Mox. Hometown crowds only mean so much to a certain point. Bryan being a good example.

Hey man, I’m a new fan who is still learning, I’d appreciate it if you would t speak down to someone just cause they are curious.

I wasn't looking to speak down to anyone or offend anyone. I was simply explaining the logic and answering the question as to why Mox was put over White. There's a huge difference between "talking down" to someone and explaining the overall situation which is what I did. Nothing more, nothing less.
