What a great show.

I was shocked to see Adam Cole pin Davey Richards in the main event, but not surprised to see Kyle O'Reilly begin his heel turn.

Kevin Steen vs Jimmy Jacobs was a great match too

Match of the night for me would be Richards/O'Reilly vs Edwards/Cole.

Nothing beats Ring of Honor live. I had an opportunity to go to a WWE live event today but chose to watch this instead. I do not regret my decision whatsoever.

Looks like GLX's matches are being pushed off until tomorrow and Impact until Tuesday.

Yeah, I was watching this over at a friend's house. It was just a great show.

I agree with you about Ciampa. It's strange booking to put him in that title match with Lethal if they didn't want to put the belt on him. If you don't want somebody to have a title yet, but still want to keep them on an undefeated streak, then don't out them in as the challenger in a title match -- this isn't rocket science.

Although I do have to also say that I don't really care bout Ciampa either. If he were to leave ROH, I wouldn't be upset about it.

It's just that strange booking is strange booking.

Isn't RVD's contract with TNA up this month?

What are the odds of him making a special appearance at WrestleMania on Teddy Long's team?

They're great enough that they could make it work. Look at Punk and Bryan!

- Vickie Guerrero has named her stable of Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler "American Perfection."

Really like it!

Part 1

RIP Doug Furnas.

Is this the one syxx mentioned a little bit ago? I meant to look it up.

There was also a Mike Knox sing a few rows up. :lol:

On the ROH PPV there were "YES" chants all night long!:lol: At first it started between matches and towards the end they were doing them during the matches! :lol:

What a dick!:lol:

It'd be cool if Drew made the save and stole Teddy's woman!

I'm glad Eddie didn't turn. I already cheer enough bad guys! I was expecting them to lose and Eddie blame Cole.

It was easily the best match but I also really liked the Briscoes/Young Bucks. I just love how the Bucks do a lot of tag team moves. They really are all those cliches they say about tag teams. I really almost thought they were getting the win.

Also, major props to TJ Perkins! He was fantastic, I thought he and Elgin worked very well together.

Steen lutzing the crowd with the wolf howl at the start of his music was hilarious! I liked him alienating the Chikara guys. :lol:

His match was good too, I'm glad it wasn't drawn out like the one with Corino.

I also liked Maria losing her shit at the end of Bennett?Homicide. :-D

Watched Smackdown this morning. Decent enough of episode. Sheamus/Ziggler was good and Orton/Danielson was good, but that's about it. Santino's match was nothing, same goes for Drew (but kudos to the neat angle on the 450).

Next I watched Triple H vs. Taka Michinoku from 2000. YouTube Match of the Day for THE BOARD. Fun little match, here. This was in 2000 so Triple H wasn't exactly the Triple H we know of today and because of that he makes Taka look like a million bucks and it comes off so well that Taka's get a couple of incredibly believable near-falls. Contrarily, about a year later he'd do a similar match with Jeff Hardy that would play out as oppositely as possible.

Next I watched Low Ki vs. Bryan Danielson from GLX's recommendations. Good match that I haven't seen since it happened. It plays off almost like a Cliff's Notes version of their best stuff.

Then it was time for the 10th Year Anniversary Show. $10 for a PPV that was better than the Elimination Chamber, Against All Odds, and the Royal Rumble.

The opener was ANX vs. WGTT. It was a really good, old-school tag match with Rhett Titus playing Ricky Morton. Charlie Haas comes off as such a great heel in his role. Giving ANX the clean win is a good sign that they'll continue where they left off at the end of last year. Hopefully they'll be tag champs by 12/31.

Next up was Homicide vs. Mike Bennett. Pretty standard match made much more enjoyable by Homicide's frequent CM Punk-references and Maria's actions. Maria was awesome in her role tonight.

Out comes Eddie Kingston to promote the ROH/CHIKARA event. Kevin Steen comes out to interrupt leading to great moment, with Steen calling CHIKARA a "bullshit Mickey Mouse promotion." Huge brawl and then when Steen threatens to piss on the Grand Championship, the Colony and Jigsaw make the save.

Next up was House of Truth vs. Red/TJ Perkins. I've never been a huge fan of Red and I don't like the idea of calling him one of ROH's Founding Fathers, but what are you going to do? Great, action-packed match that served a terrific homage to the older ROH tag match style. TJ Perkins continues to be JTTS.

Next was Jay Lethal vs Tomasso Ciampa. A nothing match, really, with a lot of questionable things going on. I thought going in that the clear direction to take was to give Ciampa the belt. His promos are good and his in-ring work is better than other strongly-pushed acts. Instead we got another draw after a very slow start (which ultimately telegraphed that they were going to a draw). This was the match to pull the trigger on Ciampa and I feel it could have been a huge mistake.

Intermission showed tons of great clips from the past.

The Briscoes vs. The Young Bucks was as good a Briscoe Formula match as any. Crazy brawl to start, Mark gets beat up, Mark tags Jay, MAN UP~!, Pier 6er, Briscoes win. The Bucks make great heels but their promos haven't been that great. Good match here.

Jimmy Jacobs vs. Kevin Steen was the expected violent brawl. Tons of smartly booked violence here and absolutely no chairshots-to-the-head. Best part is Jimmy Jacobs revealing his old, bloodstained white jacket from the AOTF-days. Finish sees Jacobs spike Steen with the railroad spike and immediately regret doing so because he's given into his evil ways. Steens take the opportunity to spike Jacobs in the balls and then F5 him onto some chairs for the win.

The main event, Davey Richards/Kyle O'Reilly vs. Adam Cole/Eddie Edwards, was quite the epic. Tons of back and forth offense. Only drawback was the crowd, really. Adam Cole got made into a big star here tonight - almost the same level as Tyler Black from Take No Prisoners (but not quite). After tons of action, Adam Cole scores a BIG upset win for his team by pinning Richards with flying crossbody. Afterward Davey puts Adam over and shakes his hand. Kyle refuses to shake hands but this is all interrupted by Kevin Steen. Steen goes into a great rant on Richards and finishes by calling him a "Jiu Jitsu Jackoff." The best part is his closing line, "Oh, and by the way, Jiu Jitsu Jackoff? Trending worldwide." LOVED IT~!

Match of the Day goes to Davey Richards/Kyle O'Reilly vs. Eddie Edwards/Adam Cole.

It was a very well put together PPV. I loved it all the way through. The "YES" chants were hilarious but I think the crowd was kind of annoying at times. I wish they'd do PPVs outside of NYC more often.

Also, I like Adam Cole (especially cause he sided with Eddie Edwards) but his ring gear sucks!
