They worked hard and did a lot of trash each other. I have to tell you - PCO scares the hell out of me. Entertaining as hell but I really worry about him hurting himself. King and Rose played their parts well. The cattle prod was hokey but if you are going to do such a thing in ROH, PCO is the character to do it with!
