Yes, typical ROH (and…errmmm…every other company in the world). As if they’d retweet something that said ‘I thought it was a bit s*** and I wish I hadn’t bothered going.’
In other news, the Pope is Catholic and Slipped Disc very, very occasionally spews out complete nonsense.

Yeah not exactly surprising they have extracted the best bits.
It would be interesting if they did say ‘this has split people – find out for yourself’.
we haven’t by far seen the potential of internet!
manipulation, manipulation,manipulation – a little like real estate!
This was a well-established practice long before the internet age. Remember all those film posters full of selective quotes plucked from negative reviews? E.g. the review in Time Out might have said, “I was expecting a great film and was sorely disappointed”. The poster said, “A Great Film – Time Out”.
Yes, many did. Check out #rohcarmen….
Yes, a truly shameful practice đ
And who says that critics are the only arbiters that matter?
