Saturday night's ROH show was pretty damn sweet. The only problem I had was that it simply felt like a set-up for the announced Chicago Spectacular shows coming up on December 8 & 9. Other than that, though, the show was really good.
Shingo put on a great match, beating Roderick. There was a sick DDT through a table at ringside. It looked like Strong just folded in half with the table.
Jacobs siding with Lacey and taking out Cabana after their tag match was done really well. They almost had me thinking that Cabana and Jimmy would both leave Lacey, but Jimmy's a lovesick bitch and bloodied Cabana with Lacey's shoe. Whitmer got a huge pop when he came out for the save.
Corino was jaw-jacking with the crowd all match, and it was hilarious. Sinclair almost got fired for reversing his decision on the winner of the match, and the crowd was eating it up. Chicago fucking hates Sinclair.
Aries/Daniels was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't that the match was bad; it's just that I expected more out of it. Daniels did a top rope palm strike followed by the best Angel's Wings I've ever seen to pick up the victory. It seems as though these two are going to have a program against each other, so it's only going to get better from here.
Albright impressed the hell out of me. He kicked the shit out of Trik Davis, and I can't wait to see him again on the 8 & 9.
Both Sydal and Richards beat the Briscoes. Sydal/Jay put on what could be considered the match of the night, while Richards sucked ass like he always does. I don't see that guy's appeal. He's so fucking boring to watch.
Danielson/Joe started out fast and didn't slow down at all. The action was all over the place, so I couldn't see most of the middle of the match but everything I could see was great. Danielson got a nightstick from under the ring and beat Joe with it. Joe with Danielson in the head with an industrial fan. Joe choked out Danielson with Sinclair's belt for the win. There was even a, "You're going to get your fucking head kicked in" chant.
The big announcement at the show was the Chicago Spectacular on December 8 & 9. Front row tickets went up to $50 in Chicago, but that's fine by me. Joe challenged Danielson to a steel cage title match for the Spectacular. HOLY SHIT. I'm hyped for that match right now, and I have more than a month to wait.
