We have matches from the BIGGEST weekend and week in a long time...
1. Claudio Castagnoli d. Colt Cabana with a Sit Down Powerbomb in about 10 minutes. The Rottweilers were all over the building in the balconies and such distracting Colt. One of them (not sure which one) distracted Colt from the entrance way, leading to Claudio getting the win!
2. Christopher Daniels won the Three Way Elimination match. Azrieal was eliminated first by Matt Sydal after a top rope belly to belly suplex in about 10 minutes. Daniels then pinned Sydal after the Angels Wings. Total match time was about 15 minutes, and it was said to be a "very good match"
3. Tony Mamaluke & Sal Rinauro defeated BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs to win the ROH Tag Team Titles! Jacobs was the one who was pinned...Whitmer had been put through a table (bumped off the apron through a table).
4. Nigel McGuinness defeated Jay Lethal to keep the ROH Pure Title. Nigel hit Lethal with his iron while the ref's back was turned
5. Roderick Strong forced Jimmy Rave to submit to his Boston Crab (Strong Lock?). After the match The Embassy were beating down Strong, and Jade Chung hit Rave with a low blow. She took off her robe and left with Roderick!
WAR GAMES IS ANNOUNCED FOR 12/3 BETWEEN EMBASSY AND GEN NEXT.
Intermission is now over. After Intermission, Lacey came out and announced that she will announce her new Lacey's Angels tomorrow night!
6. Rickey Reyes defeated Kelly Primo in about a minute. Obviously a TOTAL squash!
7. James Gibson defeated Jimmy Yang with the Front Guillotine Choke. After the match Gibson cut a promo putting over Yang, Roderick Strong, and basically the entire ROH Roster. An "ROH" chant started afterwards.
8. Jack Evans defeated Homicide with a rollup. Cabana came out on in the balcony and gave a freestyle rap which distracted Homicide.
9. Kenta Kobashi defeated Samoa Joe with a lariat. exitenglish said that Kobashi "lariated the $**t out of Joe!" He said that it was an amazing match, with both guys chopping the hell out of each other, and just being really really stiff. said that it was the best match in ROH's HISTORY!
1. Tony Mamaluke and Sal Rinauro over Dunn and Marcos to regain the ROH Tag Team Championships after a "botched double electric chair roll over"
2. Jay Lethal over Davey Andrews in the 4CS. Lethal dropped Andrews right on his head with the dragon suplex (he didnt release it), so Andrews took a BIG bump. Claudio is insanely over with the crowd, moreso then anybody else. And Nigel continues to play an awesome heel.
3. Matt Sydal over Jimmy Rave. Rave was going to cheat with a shoelace, but Jade Chung ran out and took it from him, and Sydal won with a roll up. Rave is using a snowplow as a finsiher. Said to be a very fun match. Rave has great heat and rock hard chops.
Rickey Reyes vs. Eric Dempsey "Bonus Match" is up next.
4. Reyes over Dempsey a VERY quick squah. Very "Taz" like, he won with a tazmission.
Attendance is about 600
Paul Bearer is in the ring! Percy Pringle is the new commisioner. Now Cornette is coming out.
Nevermind, apparently Cornette is the comish? He cut a promo shooting on the WWE, and puts over ROH as old school. Awesome crowd. Ill try to figure out what Percy was doing out...
5. Strong over Gibson. MOTYC candidate, amazingly stiff. Top rope knees to the stomach at one point. Amazing.
Gibson puts over ROH and Strong as the next superstar.
Intermission time. Show is said to be amazing, with Gibson vs. Strong being insane and phenomonal.
Percy was just a swerve. He came out as Paul Bearer and then Cornette came out anti-gimmick.
6. Whitmer and Jacobs over Izzy and Deranged. Izzy and Deranged were fired - and the new Lacey's Angels is BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs!
7. Colt Cabana over Jack Evans. Colt screamed out Homicide, and then used the lariat.
8. Christopher Daniels over Jimmy Yang with his ground choke. Said to be just an average match.
9. Kenta Kobashi and Homicide over Samoa Joe and Low Ki after Kobashi hits Ki with a laiat. Joe puts over ROH as true pro wrestling.
