I'll be at the Jersey show. Athough I hate that venue, it should be fun. Cant wait. I'm skipping my second class to make sure I get there on time from Manhattan. Fucking hate going to school on Saturdays.

Both of those shows sound awesome and look like definite must-haves on paper.

Preshow:

 

1) Bobby Dempsey & Rhett Titus defeat Alex "Sugarfoot" Payne & Ernie Osiris.

 

2) Pepper Parks defeats Mitch Franklin

 

 

Main Show:

 

1) Kevin Steen defeats Pelle Primeau. Said to be a great opener with a hot crowd.

 

2) Daizee Haze defeats Sara Del Rey with a sunset flip.

 

3) Erick Stevens defeats El Generico, Jason Blade and Eddie Edwards. Austin Aries is in the ring talking to all 4 right now. Erick Stevens becomes the newest member of Aries' stable, "The Resilience". Romero and Richards attack from behind with Cross making the save.

 

4) Delirious defeats Colt Cabana. No streamers for Cabana. A full on comedy bout, with Cabana putting on masks to mess with Delirious' head. Colt put on a smiley face mask to frighten him, then put on a Delirious mask at one point and started doing Delirious' spots. Delirious got a roll up for the win.

 

5) Claudio Castagnoli defeats Jay Briscoe. Claudio challenges Jay and Mark for a title match with a partner of his choosing. El Generico and Kevin Steen come back out and make the same challenge, then attack Mark.

 

6) Brent Albright defeats Homicide.

 

7) Jack Evans defeats SHINGO with a 630 (I was sent 450, but I'm assuming it was 630)

 

8) NRC vs The Resilience is up.

 

-Roderick Strong eliminates Erick Stevens, 3-2 advantage NRC.

-Davey Richards eliminates Matt Cross (wtf Davey got a PIN?!), 3-1 advantage NRC.

-Rocky Romero eliminates Aries, NRC 3-0 sweep.

 

All three beat down Aries with Delirious making the save.

 

9) Nigel McGuinness & Doug Williams defeat Takeshi Morishima & Chris Hero when Nigel pinned Hero.

It was my first ROH show, and it didn't disappoint. I had to call for a ride during the main event, so I never really got into it, but the rest of the show was awesome.

 

The 4CS was pretty good. El Generico was over, but the most over person of the night was none other than the new member of the Resilience (which by the way, is a fucking terrible name) - Erick Stevens. CHOO CHOO~!

The name in the context of the feud with NRC and Jack's group is appros.

Edison show was AWESOME. Even the top of the class trophy match delivered. Too lazy to write results though. Nige/Shima killed it.

 

Cary Silkin, the owner of ROH, drove me to the train station after my phone had died trying to call a cab. I didnt even ask him to, he just overheard and offered. Fucking amazing man. He was so nice to me and talked about how crazy the Briscoes were in real life, how he hates Long Island crowds and advised me to never go to a LI show. He also talked about WWF in the 80's and how he felt about the business now. He even asked where I was from and where I go to school, and things like that. It was just an incredible conversation because he is just soooo down to earth and appreciative of ROH fans. I always had respect for ROH but that respect has increased ten fold tonight.

I can't seem to find results to last night's show anywhere, anyone know a reliable site?

[Hawk 34 0]

1. Jason Blade and Eddie Edwards defeat Chris Hero and Tank Toland. "Hot Crowd, Jason pins Tank with a rollup, much better than expected, fun heel work by Tank and Hero."

 

2. Pelle Primeau defeats Shane Hagadorn to win the Top of the Class Trophy. "Pelle Beats Shane with stunner, decent match. Shane jumped Pelle during entrance, tried to use weapon but Bobby Dempsey told ref. Pelle crowd surfed after the win."

 

3. Rocky Romero defeats Claudio Castagnoli. "Rocky pinned Claudio with a tilt-a-whirl pin combo. Very good technical match."

 

4. Steen/Generico vs. Briscoe/Stevens is up.

 

Erick Stevens was taken out by the No Remorse Corps, Mark Briscoe is now in the match. It is now The Briscoes vs. Steen/Generico. Details hopefully forthcoming!

 

4. El Generico and Kevin Steen defeat The Briscoe Brothers. The titles were NOT on the line. "Awesome match, Stevens taken out early, turned into a handicap match for awhile. Mark entered the match late, crowd went wild, and it was non-stop action until the end. El Generico pins Mark after a standing brain buster. Mark took many head drops".

 

5. Doug Williams defeats Colt Cabana. "Doug wins with the Chaos Theory, good comedy, decent wrestling. Colt gave a farewell speech after the match."

 

Real Estimate = 700. No pre-show results were given at this time.

 

6. Sara Del Ray defeats Ernie Osiris. "Sara wins with butterfly hold. Daizee Haze watched the match".

 

7. SHINGO defeats Matt Cross. "SHINGO won with a Ki Krusher. Good match, started slow, but got faster towards the end".

 

8. Davey Richards and Roderick Strong defeat Delirious and Jack Evans. "Richards pins Delirious after Strong used a chair and Davey used the D.R. Driver. The NRC used lots of cheap tactics".

 

9. Takeshi Morishima defeats Nigel McGuinness to retain the ROH World Championship. "Morishima wins with two backdrop drivers, very stiff match, both guys were bleeding from the mouth".

There really should be more wrestlers named "Ernie."

 

 

Sounds like I'll be getting this DVD.

Any word on wether the crowd's warming up to Toland? I saw him against Ace Steel and despite working decently enough he was getting shit on for his look.

At first he was getting a "Who gives a shit, we only care about Hero" reaction, but as the match went on, he started winning fans over with his cocky heel antics. He is starting to get comfortable with ROH, I think. I enjoyed his performance a lot and I know a lot of others did too. He was really funny, but brutal at the same time.
