[Hawk 34]

results via the usual

 

(a) Derrick Dempsey over Alex Payne, Bobby Dempsey, Pelle Primeau, Rhett Titus, & Matt Turner in a 6 Man Mayhem Match on the pre-show when Derrick forces Payne to tap out.

 

1) In a match for ROHVideos.com, Jay & Mark Briscoe defeated Jason Blade & Sterling Keenan

2) Jake Crist over Marcos

 

Ricky Reyes was out with Julius Smokes and stated that since Jim Cornette won't book The Rottweilers, that they'd book themselves. Reyes challenged Dave Crist to a match.

 

3) Ricky Reyes over Dave Crist

 

After the match, Chris Hero hit the ring from the crowd and KO'd Smokes with the CZW World Title.

 

This led to Homicide coming out and challenging Hero for later tonight with his "open challenge."

 

4) Davey Richards over Jimmy Rave

 

Prior to the match, some people in the crowd threw TP directly at the hanging chandeliers in the New Yorker, so both guys had the match with shards of glass in the ring. This led to both getting pretty cut up and a fear that the athletic commission possibly stopping the match.

 

5) Austin Aries & Roderick Strong over Nigel McGuinness & Colt Cabana when Strong made Nigel tap to the Stronghold

 

After the match, it was confirmed that ROH will debut at The Manhattan Center Ballroom on 9/16/06 with KENTA and Marufuji already booked.

 

6) BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs fought to a No-Contest. If you've seen Dragon Gate Challenge, you know the bump that nearly killed Jimmy.

 

Well, it was topped here. BJ went to powerbomb Jimmy from the top again and instead of losing his balance, he INTENTIONALLY threw Jacobs and himself over the ringside barricade and ended up with both crashing in the ringside area. Neither man could continue. I imagine this will lead to Danielson v. Jacobs v. Whitmer next week in Detroit because this match was for a title shot.

Anything new?

7) Shane Hagadorn over Mitch Franklin to retain the Top of the Class Trophy

 

8) Adam Pearce over Claudio Castagnoli via DQ

 

Hero caused the DQ when he hit the ring a KO'd Pearce with the CZW World Title.

 

9) Homicide over Chris Hero via pinfall

 

Crowd chanted **** John Cena during Homicide/Hero match.

 

After the match Homicide did challenge Bryan Danielson to a ROH World Title Match at Final Battle 2006 and it was implied that it will be in NYC.

 

And in the main event, KENTA pinned Danielson after the Go 2 Sleep.

Props to Rave and Richards working with broken glass. Jacobs is going to get himself killed if he keeps working with Whitmer. A powerbomb to the crowd, that is plain nuts.

 

I find it interesting Homicide issued the challenge six months in advance but it makes for an intriguing build up.

KENTA defeated Danielson after Go To Sleep.

This show was also given perhaps the worst (serious) show name ever.
