AUSTIN ARIES!!!
I just got back from Ring of Honor's Manhattan Mayhem III, and once again ROH put on one heck of a show.
The card started off all the wrestlers coming to the ring in order to honor Mitsuharu Misawa with a 10 bell salute which even brought Ric Flair out, it was a touching way for the guys to show respect for their fallen comrads.
The actual events of the show started with Austin Aries of "A Double" that he's calling himself. He went on to put himself over by calling New Yorkers arrogant and ignorant and fake tough guys even saying "You New Yorkers didn't look too tough on one September a few years ago... too soon" which was cheap heat. Then he brings out the two men he's put under his wing...
King Kenny King or "K Triple" and Rhett Titus who wound up losing a hot match to the start lots of spots very good match.
The next match was Necro winning a very quick match against Jimmy Rave... nothing special except for me asking Nana for some stimulous package money he said "Next time I need someone to wash my car I'll call you."
Then Flair came out (I got to shake his hand) and put over the ROH fans and then told some girl at ringside he'd make a woman out of her.
Then the first blood match between Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs happens or doesn't happen... They brawl for like 5 minutes out side then Jimmy gets a screw driver hand jabs the face of Tyler... The bell rings Tyler is bleeding... the bell rings again and Jimmy wins. Tyler goes nuts and starts beating up refs and Jacobs. When Jacobs flees Tyler takes the mic (not his stong suit) And says he came to New York to prove a point so he's taking the Championship match he has saved up to make tonights main event a 3 Way Dance between he Lynn and Aries.
Sonjay Dutt and Roderick Strong put on a really excellent match which happens whenever the two of them get together. Roderick Strong wins by... I forget.
...then intermission and I bought ROH Unified...
Back to the card Danielson, Castignoli, D-Lo Brown, & Colt Cabana put on a lack luster match (for their standards) but that mau just be because for the duration of the match some jackass kept yelling "D-LO" in my ear. Cabana wins by submitting D-Lo which made the guy behind me shut up.
Generico & Steen put on a fantastic submission match with the American Wolves with great story telling and a double Sharpshooter moment that had the whole crowd going nuts. The American Wolves take the win by hitting Generico with the ring bell and then a Texas Cloverleaf.
Jay Briscoe defeated Guido in an okay match... nothing special.
The main even is announced as a Three Way Elimination match with Nigel McGuinness as the outside enforcer. The match starts out with Lynn and Black beating on Aries but soon it becomes everyman for themselves. Lynn was eliminated first when Tyler hit his finisher I don't remember the name of which excited the crowd. The match was then a very back and forth match between Tyler and Austin with many false finishes until Tyler's leg goes out, which was worked on all match, and Austin hits the brain buster and wins the ROH Championship for the second time.
After the match K Triple and Addicted to Love come out and hold A Double up on their shoulders and celebrate.
