[DangerousDamon 0]

1) BRYAN DANIELSON over SPANKY

said to be a MOTYC

 

2) DRAGON SOLDIER B over MATT SYDAL

Dragon Soldier(said to be Kendo Ka Shin) used the ropes for leverage

 

3) BLACK TIGER IV(said to be Rocky Romero) over ALEX SHELLEY

 

4) JAMES GIBSON over RODERICK STRONG

Gibson "injured" his back(probably from those WACKY BACKBREAKERS~!) in this match.

 

5) THE EMBASSY of Rave & Vegas over THE SECOND CITY SAINTS of Punk & Cabana when Rave pinned Punk due Prince Nana's interference. The Embassy then attacked Punk with a cheese grater....

 

After the match, Punk got into it with some fan in the crowd

 

6) DRAGON SOLDIER B over JAMES GIBSON after Spanky threw in the towel after DSB put Gibson in a submission on his injured back.

 

7) BLACK TIGER IV over BRYAN DANIELSON

 

8) JACK EVANS & RODERICK STRONG over AZRIEAL & DIXIE, LACEY'S ANGELS, and DUNN & MARCOS to become the #1 Contender's to the Tag Team Titles

 

Roderick came out and joined his GN partner. Strong made Dixie tap to gain the win.

 

9) BJ WHITMER & JIMMY JACOBS over SAMOA JOE & JAY LETHAL when Whitmer pinned Lethal to become the 9th and Undisputed ROH Tag Team Champions

 

10) DRAGON SOLDIER B over BLACK TIGER IV to win the Best of American Super Juniors Tournament

 

The crowd chanted "Don't Come Back" after the match giving DSB the ICP treatment.

 

James Gibson came out and cut a promo in which he said that an American talent should have won and guys like himself, Homicide, and Danielson will fight New Japan talent if they have to, to get their shot.

 

11) AUSTIN ARIES retained the ROH WORLD TITLE over HOMICIDE

 

Julius Smokes interfered during the match, but Bryan Danielson came out and brawled to the back with him, rendering him ineffective.

Discuss this and stuff you wacky indy experts.

Wow. Talk about balls to not even put gibson OR danielson in the finals.

 

I bet the rohbots arent going to be pleased here.

Yeah, a lot of people on the ROH boards were really pissed.

 

Apparently New Japan booked the tournament, and from the sound of things an ROH vs. NJPW angle might start.

The only way the tournament could have been a letdown was if the worst guy in it was the winner, and unfortunately that's what happened. Getting the ICP, Konnan and Iceberg treatment with the "don't come back" chant would seem to indicate that in addition to ROH jobbing it's stars to an outsider that Kashin's matches weren't any good to boot.

 

Of course live reports and crowds on past ROH shows have been completely and totally wrong in the past so who knows, but everything non-Dragon Soldier should be good with Danielson-Spanky apparently amazing, and if this leads to some sort of ROH/NJPW show that will certainly make up for one questionably booked tournament.

So Ring of Honor finally has an opportunity to add some stability to the Tag Team title situation...and they put the titles on B.J. Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs? Hopefully this show was a sign that Rocky Romero will go going off on his own, because I've heard that Ricky Reyes really ruins the Havana Pitbulls' matches.

From the ROH board:

 

***GMC made his "huge" announcement...

 

ROH returns to New Jersey on June 18th in Morristown, NJ for DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR III and will feature the return to ROH of none other than........

 

AJ STYLES

 

Morristown? I assume that must be a typo or something, because...

 

That's where I live!

Man, I was really unimpressed with Dragon Solider in PWG on Friday. He had the worst match of the whole PWG weekend.

 

I can't imagine how lame seeing him win an entire tourney would be! Especially with all the talent involved in that one.

[Guest Joe_G]

I went to the show from Massachusetts, and it was really worth it, the tournament final notwithstanding.

 

Spanky/Dragon was off the charts, ROH's best opening match ever and earning a place in my personal pantheon of live matches. So what I'm saying is, I liked it.

 

The two title matches were excellent. The Jacobs/Whitmer team interests me a thousand times more than Whitmer/Maff. And they put Aries over strong on Homicide instead of the past couple of fluke finishes.

 

Scramble and No DQ match were both fun, the latter much more than I expected (except when Punk ran into the crowd to beat up a fan afterwards, which could turn into another one of ROH's productive "shoot" angles.).

 

You should've seen the crowd's reaction when DSB and Tiger qualified for the finals. It was like the air being let out of 500 balloons simulaneously. The tournament final wasn't good, but the crowd wasn't going to be happy no matter what.

 

Our bus actually gave American Dragon, DSB, and that Tommy Martez (sp?) guy a ride tio their hotel afterwards. Dragon actually brought up (jokingly) the idea of selling fake beards at shows. Hell, I'd buy one.

am i the only one who finds it kind of funny that gibson(a njpw guy) wants himself, danielson(another njpw guy) and homicide to fight the evil nj guys. perhaps i am a bit odd but i would want more than one guy who does not already work njpw to face off against the evil njpw.
