Kevin Steen is the shit. Anytime him and super dragon wrestle it's usually an insane match. Right Destor?

Hey
Guess who was at both shows Yeah that's right. First things first, both shows are better than last year's UK shows, by a mile. They might not have the 1 or 2 outstanding matches of Unified, but they were better all-around shows by FAR. I shall now attempt a briefish recap. Night 1 Homicide vs Davey Richards Decent, but not great. They had some miscommunication early on, but got it together as they went on. Homicide was waaaaaaaaaay over, and Davey got some good heat. Homicide via cop killer for the win. Allison Danger vs Sara Del Ray Ok, but nothing special. Unfortunately as always there are a few assholes when it comes to women's wrestling. Sara is great, and ridiculously hot in person, Allison is kinda hesitant a lot of times and very skinny. Seriously, if you've ever seen Del Ray on a SHIMMER DVD or whatever, she looks like a giant, but in reality she is perfectly proportioned. Sara wins via butterfly suplex. Colt Cabana & BJ Whitmer vs Jimmy Rave & Jimmy Jacobs Decent. Cabana is always way over in the UK, BJ was prett popular, Jacobs had his fair share of fans, and I don't know of anyone who doesn't hate Jimmy Rave. Couple nice spots, Jacobs wins (somewhat surprisingly) by pinning Whitmer after a Contra Code. Matt Sydal vs Delirious - 2/3 Falls Very good. Sydal's gradual heel turn is in full effect now, as he cheated for both his falls. He can be a great smug cocky heel if he keeps progressing. Delirious got a pop of Homicide-like proportions and was over for pretty much anything he did/said. Some nice one-liners as you'd expect. Sydal wins the first fall after distracting Sinclair and hitting a low blow before small packaging Delirious. 2nd fall has Sydal tap out to the Cobra Stretch. Final fall, Delirious was going for a move off the top, however Sydal bumped Sinclair into the ropes causing Delirious to slip, before Sydal hit the moonsault belly-to-belly (Flux Capacitor?) for the win. Roderick Strong vs Pac - FIP title Pac can fly really, really well. Unfortunately he might as well be a robot, as he has next to no personality. Strong had his fair share of fans but got some boos as well, so I think the turn is taking. Strong wins after Pac missed what looked like a reverse Phoenix Splash, big boot -> Gibson driver. Briscoes vs Doi & Shingo - ROH Tag Team titles You know how the Briscoes have been really awesome the last year? Yeah. The DG guys brought it all the way too, and this was easily match of the weekend for me. Shingo in particular was great, and by the end the crowd was coming somewhere close to a 50/50 split between who to support. I don't remember the finish, I *think* Shingo pinned Mark. Samoa Joe vs Nigel McGuinness Good, good stuff. Unfortunately there were a bunch of drunken pricks around where I was sitting who decided to just chant the most random bullshit and almost ruined the match, ended up having to move away but it worked out as got a better seat for the end. Joe hit Nigel with a muscle buster onto the apron, and they did an injury angle as Nigel was being helped out. Joe repeatedly asked for a handshake before calling Nigel a pussy, which prompted him to return to the ring and slap Joe square in the face, after which he *almost* pulled off the Superman comeback, before passing out in the choke. Night 2 Colt Cabana vs Delirious Fantastic comedy match. Far too many things to list here, but if you can find a clip of Big Daddy on youtube or something you will have a vague idea of what Cabana's schtick was here. Delirious wins with a rollup. Sara Del Ray & Allison Danger vs Jetta & 'Jezebel' Eden Black Challenge match after Jetta and Black called out the SHIMMER girls the night before. Kinda ties in as Black will be wrestling on the next SHIMMER taping, so it works. Better heat than the singles match the night before, Jetta and Black wrestled as total heels. At one point Black had Danger in a triangle choke (her finish) but Del Ray made the save. Sara picks up the win with the butterfly choke into suplex on Jetta (I think) BJ Whitmer vs Jimmy Jacobs - Falls Count Anywhere Match started before the women had even left the ring, as they brawled through the back of the crowd. Solid pro-BJ support with a smattering of Jacobs fans. At one point Jimmy hit a sweet balcony dive. Whitmer got spiked 3 or 4 times and had a total crimson mask, bled all over the ring. Jimmy started rolling around in the blood, maniac that he now is. Whitmer hit a brainbuster on the ramp for the win. Matt Sydal vs Pac Nice little high flying match. Pac blew a spot or two but nothing horrible. Sydal's subtle heel schtick is coming along nicely, before long I think he will be something pretty special. Sydal wins with the SSP Jay Briscoe vs Mark Briscoe If you've seen a Briscoes match in the last year, you can guess what this was like. If you don't like their stuff, you'll hate this. If you like it, this will be right up your street. Head drops, high flying, spots galore. Match ended in a draw after neither man could answer the referee's 10 count. Roderick Strong & Davey Richards vs Shingo & Doi - ROH Tag Team titles The DG guys were *over*. Strong and Richards had some nice heat but to be honest it was almost all for Davey - he's doing really well in playing off the crowd. Strong is basically the same guy he was before he turned and he needs to do something to change up a little, IMO. In both his matches he did tease the chops a few times before doing an eyepoke or little stuff like that, but whereas Sydal is gradually turning and that sort of thing works for him, Strong is already meant to be full-blown heel. Anyway, rant aside this was very good again, not as good as the Briscoes - DG match but still very good. Again Shingo stole the show for me, the crowd were waaaaaaaaay behind him in particular. Doi pins Davey after a top rope fireman's carry into faceplant (yes I know there's a name for it ![]() Nigel McGuinness vs Jimmy Rave - Fight Without Honor I dunno if Jimmy is quite a main eventer yet, but he can take an asskicking. My God, did he take an asskicking. All I'm gonna say is, Tower of London onto a guardrail. Nigel wins with the rebound lariat. Samoa Joe vs Homicide Julius Smokes is great. At one point Homicide wiped out 4-5 people in the front row with his tope con hilo because they weren't looking. Other than that, I'm not really gonna write much about this cause chances are if you're reading this, you'll want to see it for yourself. Good match, better than I expected (and I feared the worst) So yeah, there you go. Great, great shows both. Liverpool (or at least, the area around the Olympia) is not the greatest, but it was worth the 5 hour coach ride and all the other crap, easily. Definite DVD purchases - seriously, I am the most jaded, cynical, thinks-he-knows-it-all bastards there is, and at LEAST 4 times over the weekend I was shocked/stunned/gobsmacked by what I saw. |

ROH is the best wrestling promotion in the world today, no doubt about it.
Naruki Doi and SHINGO winning the ROH World Tag Team Championship surprised the fuck out of me. If they have the potential to be good Champions, I think I'll live. |

You know, some people shit on Shingo Takagi, but when I saw him at ROH against curry man, he was pretty darn good. And I'm sure he has progressed quite a bit since then.

I was sold on Shingo after I saw him put Roddy through a table. I really do like the guy a lot. Kinda surprised by him and Doi picking up the tag titles, but I like it.

So yeah, those 4 matches, plus Strong Vs Aries at Supercard of Honor 2, along with the Dragongate 8 man, and Jacobs Vs Whitmer in a cage at some point that weekend. It's going to be fucking badass. |

Does Strong still have that FIP title? I imagine he would be defending it against evans if he did.
Also, with all the heaping amounts of interpromotional work thats going on between ROH, Noah, and Dragongate, I have five words for you: ROH in the next Firepro |

Also, is the PS3 region coded? There were rumors before it came out that it wasn't, and no modding would be nessecary to play imports.

I have to admit for a while I was a little worried ROH had peaked at Glory by Honor V, but the whole 5th Year Festival really seems to have kicked everything into high gear again.

The PS3 is NOT region coded for PS3 games. So you can play imported PS3 games... It just doesn't play import ps/ps2 games.

Jacobs Answers Whitmer's Steel Cage Challenge
Wednesday, March 14, 2007 Jimmy Jacobs has accepted BJ Whitmer's challenge for a Steel Cage Match in Detroit. The match will be at "Supercard Of Honor II" and the escape rule has been waived. These two hated enemies will be locked in the Steel Cage and weapons will be allowed. The match goes on until one man is pinned or submits. This one will be brutal and violent. Here is Jacobs' response to Whitmer's challenge and thoughts on this huge match: "March 31, 2007 is my prom night. It's where everything comes to a head. In a moment of poetic justice, almost exactly one year to the date, in the same city, in the same building, in the same ring where you almost killed me, we'll be locked together inside a steel cage until one of us can't get out on their own volition. If for one moment you believe that challenging me to a steel cage match or the idea of such a violent match scares me, then you clearly underestimate me. For the past year, I've stood toe to toe with you, never backed down in the face of violence, blood and danger; and to your credit, you've never backed down either. You're fueled by a powerful emotion. You're fueled by hate. I see it in your words to me, the way you glare at me, the way you strike me, the very manner in which you perceive me. I'm fueled by that same hate for you. In a steel cage, without regard for dignity, reputation, self respect or safety, we will battle, we will bleed, we will fight in the name of that hate. But the difference between you and me is that I fight for something more. I fight for love. When the sun rises on the morning of April 1, it will be a new day. And in marring you, I unionize an unbreakable bond between Lacey and me. This is act 3, my friend. It always ends the same. The villain gets what's coming to him, and the hero gets the girl." - Jimmy Jacobs Tickets are now on sale at www.ROHwrestling.com or by calling for this huge event. Here is how "Supercard Of Honor II" is shaping up on March 31st in Detroit: Dragon Gate Rules Six Man Match Of The Year Rematch CIMA, Shingo & Susumu Yokosuka vs. Dragon Kid, Ryo Saito & Masaaki Mochizuki FIP World Heavyweight Title Match Roderick Strong defends vs. Austin Aries Steel Cage Match BJ Whitmer w/Daizee Haze vs. Jimmy Jacobs w/Lacey Fifth Year Festival Rematch Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe Special Challenge Tag Team Match Jack Evans & Naruki Doi vs. Davey Richards & the newest member of the No Remorse Corps Plus much more to be signed with: Homicide, Colt Cabana, Nigel McGuinness, Rocky Romero, Adam Pearce with Shane Hagadorn, Chris Hero with Larry Sweeney, Brent Albright, Delirious, Yamato Onodera, Pelle Primeau and more!!! |

Man, tough break for Jacobs. Right after the biggest win of his career. Well, hopefully he keeps a chance to keep developing his character on the shows at least, and get over that way. Also, Mark Briscoe is a badass son of a bitch, and will eat your children if he wants to.

Some rich tycoon who enjoys Ring of Honor needs to get them a PPV deal. I would order this shit in a second.
The Briscoe Brothers have been winning me over like shit. I can't see them as a WWE tag team without some kind of shitty make-over, but in the independant scene, they are Tag Team Gods. With Motor City Machine Guns stepping up to face them, I expect some goodness. Brent Albright is a fucking beast. A feud with Homicide will kick ass, for sure. I love the deal with Dragon Gate. Some of the shit they put on is fucking outstanding. I know Destor hates him, but Jack Evans can do some amazing shit. A double stomp to a guy in a fireman's carry straight into a moonsault to the floor? That shit is fucking crazy. I really wish Ring of Honor reached a wider audience. |
