I was thinking, if Lacey dumped Jimmy, Jimmy could go emo depressive/emo psychotic. A sadomasochist wrestler? Hmmmmmmm. BTW, the power bomb botch at Dragongate challenge was unreal live. I was in the second row of section C, on the aisle, so I had a clear shot of it. The crowd when from chanting holy shit, to being dead quiet. Then when Jimmy kicked out in the ring, the crowd went apeshit.

If ROH wants to make Detroit a market, then give Jimmy jacobs the ball, because Detroit is seriously into him.
Also, totally agree with The Kings of Wrestling taking the straps. Claudio is awesome, and I've been pretty damn impressed with Hero.

I think it's way to early to give Davey the belt... I saw someone on the ROH board talking about how the belt has been used to elevate people, and in surprising ways (like Gibson and Punk getting the belt although they were signed to WWE.). I think they need to move a bit away from that though... Don't give the belt to Davey just because it would elevate him/ be shocking. Let him build himself up some other way.

I'd have it go from Danielson, to KENTA, to Homicide. Let Homicide have a run with it, then have something odd happen where the title is held up... Have a tourny, and have the final be Joe and Dragon... a huge fight, and the winner will be the first 2 time champ... That's good booking.

My top 5 right now would be.

Tie for 1st between Danielson, Samoa Joe, and KENTA ( I know KENTA isn't technically in ROH, but he's doing a lot of dates with them

4. Jimmy Jacobs
5. (Tie) Delirious/Homicide

Yeah, for real, that powerbomb was the scariest thing I've ever seen.

I thought Jacobs was dead. Even though I obviously knew he wasn't from reading it, it still just made me catch my breath for a second. Fucking astonishing they managed to carry on.

Liverpool show is happening right now. I will copy and paste the results (editing as needed) as they get posted on the RoH boards

Matt Sydal def. Spud, Jonny Storm & Colt Cabana when Sydal hit Spud with the Shooting Star Press

Chris Hero (!) came out but was run off by Cabana

Davey Richards def. Jimmy Rave with the Double Underhook Brainbuster

BJ Whitmer def. Claudio Castagnoli via jacknife pin (I think - results said jacknife hold but I never heard of that)

Hero came out again and started to beat down BJ but Cabana returned, leading to Hero vs Cabana

Colt Cabana def. Chris Hero via Colt 45

RoH returns to the UK 2nd & 3rd March 2007 - Liverpool will be on the 3rd (a Saturday)

Doug Williams & Jody Fleisch def. SUWA & Go Shiosaki when Williams hit the Chaos Theory on Shiosaki. Post-match SUWA turned on Shiosaki (not much of a surprise there). Williams & Fleisch now receive a tag title shot tomorrow night.

Intermission

Robbie Brookside def. Chad Collyer to retain the FWA Heavyweight Title using the Saxon Clutch (I think the same as the Cobra Clutch, not sure)

Austin Aries & Roderick Strong def. Jay & Mark Briscoe to retain the ROH World Tag Team Titles after Aries hit the 450 on Jay. Aries & Strong will now face Williams & Fleisch tomorrow, while the Briscoes will face the team of Matt Sydal & Davey Richards.

Bryan Danielson def. Nigel McGuinness to become the first ever unified ROH World Champion via referee stoppage (elbows to the head). Danielson apparently offered a rematch and Nigel accepted - whether that is tomorrow or not is unclear.

I can't wait for Chris Hero to be a full fledged member of ROH. It can only mean good things for the wrestling world.

I agree. Chris Hero is awesome, and would give them another much needed heel.

Also, the Hero's Welcome is awesome.

Results from Broxbourne, courtesey of Observer

Ring of Honor
Broxbourne Civic Hall, Broxbourne, England
Sunday, August 13
Report courtesy of WrestleMag.com:

Ring of Honor were in Broxbourne, England this afternoon for the second and final stop on their huge UK tour. Once again, WrestleMag were there to bring you ongoing results throughout the night. Thanks to everybody who joined us for our live coverage earlier this evening.
Results and notes from the sold out Broxbourne Civic Hall (crowd estimated at around 600) as follows:

- The show started with Austin Aries announcing he would not be able to wrestle due to having broken two ribs in Liverpool. Bryan Danielson interrupted him to question whether he was injured, which led to Bryan Danielson vs Roderick Strong being announced for tonight’s show. As Danielson was leaving, SUWA attacked him.

- Go Shiozaki beat BJ Whitmer in the opening match of the night following a moonsault from the top rope. Good match to get started. The crowd are quiet so far compared to last night, and a chant started up during the opening match acknowledging that.

- Jonny Storm beat Jody Fleisch and Spud in a three-way match after Storm hit the Wonderwhirl on Spud and got the pinfall. Fast paced match, plenty of highspots which the crowd popped for. After the match, Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero and Chad Collyer hit the ring and attacked Storm and Spud which led to toilet paper being thrown all over the place by the fans. Nigel McGuiness and Robbie Brookside hit the ring to make the save - the crowd went nuts for Brookside. They were joined by Colt Cabana who evened things up. This led to a 6-man tag being announced…

- Colt Cabana, Nigel McGuiness & Robbie Brookside beat Chad Collyer, Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli after McGuiness pinned Collyer following a hard hitting clothesline. Very good match. The crowd have livened up a hell of a lot since the show began.

- Bryan Danielson called out SUWA after what happened at the start of the show, and challenged him to a match for Danielson’s Title. SUWA accepted and they went at it straight away, with Danielson being busted open in a stiff, brutal match which (like 99% of everything ROH of done this weekend in the UK) the crowd loved. Danielson picked up the win after a small package.

- Doug Williams beat Jimmy Rave with the Chaos Theory. Rave got the full toilet paper treatment upon his entrance.

- The Briscoe Brothers beat Matt Sydal & Davey Richards.

- Bryan Danielson defeated Roderick Strong to retain the ROH Title after using his Cattle Mutilation finisher to get the submission win.

It's a shame he won't get the recognition he deserves in TNA. I just finished watching the Aries/Strong Vs CIMA/Doi match from Better than our best... Damn that was a good match. Aries got his nose fucked up in that too.

I was there at Broxbourne yesterday, fun times.

Before we even went in me and my friends were eating lunch outside and Prince Nana came over and asked for (and got) a light from my mate He then proceeded to walk down the road to the local petrol station to get some food wearing what looked to be boxer shorts (we weren't stalking, the petrol station had the nearest ATM )

The fanslam beforehand was pretty good, Nigel took over host duties after his 15 minutes were up, funny bastard. Apparently...well, Matt Sydal got onto the fan-organised bus trip yesterday morning with his pants around his ankles, and somehow word got out that some chick stuck two fingers up his ass after the aftershow party in Liverpool. So Nigel and pretty much everyone else were making little signals at him the whole time. And yes, there was chanting on the show. You don't get THAT with WWE It was all flimed, should make the DVD. OH, and damn, the Briscoes are the most purebred rednecks ever.

Anyway yeah, the crowd was fairly quiet to start but livened up as it went on. Some idiots in the crowd chanting/shouting stuff that was out of place or just stupid, and quite a few people seem to miss the point of TP'ing Rave (it's meant to create a visual, the point isn't to hit him as hard as you can)...Gabe actually came out at one point and told a guy point blank to stop throwing stuff as he was still doing it like 10 minutes into the match.

When Aries came out he had a total DDP tape job on his ribs...I'd imagine it must be pretty bad as he wrestled a year on an injured knee without even knowing it, so it takes something to slow him down.

Whitmer/Go was a nice start, very hard hitting as you might expect, crowd were mostly behind BJ as you might expect with Go being the visitor, but it was a nice match.

Spud/Storm/Fleisch was a total spotfest but they held it together pretty well, nothing was really blown that I saw. Spud took a SICK powerbomb into the barrier.

Hero/Claudio/Collyer vs Nigel/Brookside/Cabana was really good fun, it'll probably come across better on DVD actually, clear face/heel tag formula stuff, and it worked really well. Was weird to see Nigel acting total babyface but it worked.

SUWA/Dragon was a little bit disappointing...I'm not sure if it was thrown together last minute or it was intended to be the main and they had to chop a bunch of stuff out, but it felt a little 'unfinished'. People didn't really seem to know who SUWA was either, and since Dragon has been heeling it for months it was a little difficult to root for either. Dragon was busted open hardway on the back of his head after SUWA hit him with a chair (not a folding chair, they were like theatre types - I think the corner hit him but I couldn't see too well).

Rave/Williams was ok but their styles didn't seem to mesh too well. Doug was in control for a long time as well, which was a little weird as Jimmy's matches are basically all about him getting heat. Nana was great though, as ever

Briscoes vs Sydal/Richards was AWESOME. If you know any of these guys you know what to expect, some strikes, some flying, some sweet double teams...everything just hit really well and crisp and people were on their feet for most of the last 5-10 minutes. Worth going out of your way to see, IMO.

Finally Dragon/Strong was pretty good, although there was never any *real* doubt who would win. It kinda seemed like a best of from their previous matches, nothing really new in there (but that would be asking a lot). Dragon won after the UFC type elbows, and then he locked on the Cattle Mutilation, but Strong was already out. Dragon was bleeding from the lip and he busted Roddy open at the temple with the elbows. Dragon was a total mess by the end, blood in his hair, all down his face, and his chest was chopped to hamburger.

On the way out I shook Cary's hand

So yeah, considering the card was basically made up on the night apart from one match, it came out pretty good. No way was it worth £75 but I got like 4th row and was facing the hard camera, so should be on the DVD

Aries is pretty much the man, cmon he wrestled for close to a year with a tear in his ACL.

Joe + Homicide on the same page = unbeatable

I was at Broxbourne last night. Damn good show. Shiozaki vs Whitmer was shit hot, as were the two tag team matches (the 6-man and Briscoes/Sydal & Richards).

As much as I hope that Aries takes the necessary amount of time off to heal himself up, I also want him to wrestle when they come back to the states. I'm going to the Chicago show, and I really want to see Aries/Strong defend the belts against Daniels/Sydal. Last time around I didn't get to see a tag title defense, so I'm pumped for it.

ROH vs. czw ended with Cage of Death at Death Before Dishonor IV. Homicide saved the day for ROH after Danielson took out Joe. Homicide wanted 3 wishes,

1) Steve Corino in the ring, granted by Cornette

2) ROH World Title shot, granted by Cornette

3) Low Ki reinstated, not granted, Cornette/Pearce/JJ Dillon jump Cide, whipping him

Homicide promises to win a title by Final Battle 2006, or he's out of ROH.

Aries is hurt, but him and Strong are still tag champs, but no longer under the name Generation Next.

Nigel just lost the PURE title to Danielson, who is the ROH World and PURE Champion.

Roderick still sucks on the mic

Delirious is climbing the ranks slowly, as is Davey Richards

Jimmy still loves Lacey

Joe is still God.

BJ is the MVP of 2006 thus far, put in the upper card/main event. He has an alliance with Homicide against Pearce and Corino.

KENTA wants to make Danielson go 2 sleep.

AND

American Dragon is still the best wrestler in the world.

And will Danielson succeed in making it to one year?

You'd better believe it. As much as I would love to see any of those four contenders holding the belt, Danielson is the man right now.

Nobody is really sure right now. On Sunday Dragon came out with the World around his waist and the Pure over his shoulder, but was just announced as the World Champion, so who knows. If he'd had the FIP belt with him it would've been a Triple Crown, pretty much.

Have had a couple days to reflect on Broxbourne and I still say Briscoes vs Sydal/Richards is worth going out of your way to see. Really, really good tag.

August 15th: Ring Of Honor now has two homes. The United Kingdom became a ROH home after the tremendous shows last weekend in Liverpool and Broxbourne. ROH is now worldwide live and plans to present several shows a year in the UK. ROH will return in March and we'll have ticket information soon. It was a truly historic weekend as ROH leapt to the next level due to the crowd support that came from all over Europe. We can't thank everyone that attended Liverpool and Broxbourne enough for making it a truly historic weekend. We can't wait to get back to the UK!!!

August 15th: Bryan Danielson is now your ROH World Champion and ROH Pure Champion after defeating Nigel McGuinness last Friday in Liverpool. The epic match saw McGuinness gain the overwhelming support of the UK crowd after smashing his head on the ringpost causing a huge bump and severe blood loss. Danielson won the grueling match after a series of elbows to Nigel's bleeding head. We will have highlights of this encounter in the next ROH Video Recap at ROHvideos.com. Bryan Danielson is now a triple champion as he also holds the FIP Heavyweight Title. The FIP reign is now eight months long.

August 15th: The main event of the huge return in St. Paul, MN on 8/25 will be the rematch from Liverpool as Danielson defends the World Title against McGuinness. This will be Nigel's last chance at Danielson during this World Title reign. This match will also be 2/3 Falls. Danielson wanted to make the match 2/3 Falls so he could prove that he can win four falls in one weekend. Danielson will be facing Colt Cabana in a 2/3 Falls Match the next night in Chicago. Bryan Danielson proved his toughness by defeating Roderick Strong in Broxbourne after being busted open in a match earlier on the card against NOAH's SUWA. A bloody Danielson defeated both Strong and SUWA in World Title Matches on the same night. Now Danielson will have to win four falls over two top challengers in one weekend. If Danielson can make it past St. Paul and Chicago with the World Title no one can doubt that Danielson is indeed "The Best In The World."

August 15th: There is now a 20% off EVERYTHING sale with NO MINIMUM purchase at ROHwrestling.com. There are over 1000 items now at ROHwrestling.com including DVDs, shirts, figures and more from TNA, WWE, NOAH and all the other big promotions plus many independents. This also includes all live event tickets to every upcoming show. Act now because the sale ends tomorrow night.

August 15th: ROHwrestling.com is very proud to release a unique shoot interview. Straight Shootin' With The Women Of Honor sees Lacey, Daizee Haze & Allison Danger sit down to give all the inside information about their careers. These three were an open book in discussing everything from ROH to SHIMMER to their thoughts on WWE's divas and T&A promotions. You'll hear about life in the wrestling business from a women's perspective in this one. This is like getting three shoots in one!!!

August 15th: We have another big match for 8/25 in St. Paul. Jay & Mark Briscoe have challenged Irish Airborne of Dave & Jake Crist to a tag team contest. The Briscoes want to destroy Irish Airborne. The Crists scored a big upset when they pinned The Briscoes in an Ultimate Endurance on 8/5. Now The Briscoes want to prove it was a fluke. This one is sure to feature some exciting action. Get tickets for St. Paul and all ROH live events now for 20% off at ROHwrestling.com. The sale includes all tickets even ringside seats.

August 15th: ROH World Tag Team Champions Austin Aries & Roderick Strong had their belts mysteriously returned to them before the Liverpool show. They left their locker room and when they returned the belts were on their lugguge with a note that said "these will be ours." An investigation has been launched to find out who was behind this.

August 15th: The ROHwrestling.com Newswire be back tomorrow with more on the 8/26 Chicago show including a new match plus more news from the UK groundbreaking events.

If it is merged then there will be no Grand Slam Champion unless Danielson finds a partner eh? Also, right after The Kings take out Aries and Strong I see Hero making a second gun for Danielson.

That's not true, Steve. Samoa Joe is a former Pure Champion and World Champion. If he was to capture the World Tag Team titles, he'll be ROH's 1st Grand Slam Champion.

The Kings of Wrestling have claimed responsibility for the theft of the tag team titles. Chris Hero makes this claim on his livejournal (http://chrishero.livejournal.com/). And the speculation is that it will be the KOW vs. Aries/Strong on 9/16. Now, none of this is coming from Gabe, so take it with a grain of salt. But it just makes too much sense not to be the truth.

They should earn the shot, not just steal the belts and get them. I mean the Crists have more wins in ROH than the KOW do.
