Cary Silkin, who has been with ROH (Ring Of Honor) since their inception back on February 23rd, 2002, recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and spoke about how the emotions he felt at ROH's Final Battle PPV are similar to the emotions he felt at ROH's event in MSG, which is believed to be one of, if not the greatest moment in the history of the company.
Cary Silkin said:
“Things happen recently like this past Saturday, it’s fresher in your mind. How much bigger, how much more emotional how much of a pinnacle can there be than Madison Square Garden? I don’t know if there can be, but it almost felt that way Saturday. It was a different feeling.” “The range of emotions that was going on at that place. It’s like they say, ‘some people process things with sadness, some with anger, some with joyful memories, the whole Megillah as Jewish grandmother would say, was there.’”
“So, for me at that show on Saturday, of course, Madison Square Garden was the pinnacle of Ring Of Honor. The chance of me getting to be sitting at ringside and in the ring.” “Presenting the belt to Matt Taven and getting to walk out, this is like hitting, not the lottery, it’s like the power ball. Yet, Saturday night, this past Saturday almost equaled it in a different way. It was very special.”
Cary Silkin also talked about how the atmosphere and the energy of being in the arena live, where the Final Battle PPV Event took place is much better than watching it on television as well as how it was very overwhelming.
Cary Silkin said:
“The energy in the building was much better than what was on TV, although it wasn’t bad on TV. But in the building it had that old Ring Of Honor, Hammerstein, Manhattan Center.” “I’m not talking about in the back of the stage, in the front, that we’re all in this together. It was very overwhelming.”
