Garth 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 Here are the results from the NY show, Manhatten Mayhem II: 1) Matt Cross & Erick Stevens d. Jigsaw & Mike Quackenbush. (2) Jimmy Jacobs d. Mitch Franklin.

Pac. - Misuharu Misawa was officially announced as appearing on 11/2 in Philly and 11/3 in NYC! (5) Austin Aries d. Roderick Strong and Jack Evans in a 3 way. - Ruckus and Julius Smokes showed up as the first two members of Evan's new faction "The Vulture Squad". INTERMISSION (6) Ruckus d. Eddie Edwards. (7) Claudio Castagnoli d. Chris Hero with the Ricola Bomb. (8) ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima d. Bryan Danielson via the Backdrop Driver to retain his title (9) ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoes d. Kevin Steel and El Generico in a Two of Three Falls match to retain their titles. The Briscoes won two straight falls. Didn't see these posted anywhere, people that wanted to find them out probably have do so already. Thought it might provoke a smidge of discussion though. Looks like they're finally trying to reignite the stable wars. Although I haven't seen any of it, from whats been reported up until now, it sounds like it has been pretty dire. It pleases me wholeheartedly that the Claudio push is still ongoing. He was just so lost after the whole WWE mess. Glad they're really using him now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 - Ruckus and Julius Smokes showed up as the first two members of Evan's new faction "The Vulture Squad". So Evans' stable is going to be made up of fliptastic indy guys? I guess my prediction of PAC might not be that far off the mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 I expect Evans group will basically be BLK OUT part 2, Eddie Kingston would be my guess to be the next member of the group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 It's safe to say the quality of the stable names in this feud hasn't gotten any better. 'The Vulture Squad'? Ouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 It's safe to say the quality of the stable names in this feud hasn't gotten any better. 'The Vulture Squad'? Ouch. Seriously. If anything, they've just gotten progressively worse. "The Resilience" is really lame, but at least it doesn't sound like it belongs on a children's cartoon.

The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Eh, The Vulture Squad works. It sounds like a typical hip hop styled group name. And yeah, the Stable Wars have been pretty meh until recently. I'm hoping Kingston or B-Boy join with Jacks group. Manhattan Mayhem was pretty good with a couple of dissapointing matches (Pac vs Richards, Jacobs vs Franklin). I got second row tickets for Misawa in NYC. First row was sold out and that made me sad. Either way, I can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JST 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Had some friends who were at the first show, and pelted BJ with "FIRE WHITMER!" chants. Apparently he looked pissed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Well, I'd be pissed too if people came to where I worked and started petitioning that I be canned. Actually, I'd be quite happy to be let go so I can move back to Cardiff already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
