[IMG]http://rohwrestling.com/images/forumlogo.gif[/IMG] Taken from the ROH Message Board: Just got to the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, and it is absolutely packed here! They are hangin' from the rafters as the old sayin' goes! [B]PRESHOW: Matt Cross and Eddie Edwards over Ernie Osiris and Sugarfoot Payne[/B]. Crowd definately is gettin' into the new team of Cross and Edwards in about 8 minutes. I really doubt that there is room on the roster for them both now, but It would be cool to give them a few more shots, and if they impress, keep them around. [B]Rating: * 1/2*[/B] [B]1. Erick Stevens over Gran Akuma[/B]. This match was dominated by hard strikes back and forth between these two. Akuma ROCKED Stevens with kicks thruought, while Stevens hit Akuma with a few Lariats that almost knocked Akuma out of his boots. Stevens hits a Running Powerslam for the pin in about 12 minutes. [B]Rating: **[/B] [B]2. Mike Quackenbush over Pelle Primeau.[/B] Quackenbush was his normal awesome self, very fluid, and right on target with all his Lucha. The bigger story on this nite is Pelle's performance. In the past, the crowd has always gotten behind 'em, but he definately put on a stellar performance, and it wouldn't suprise me to see him booked on the Main Show alot more than he usually is. Quackenbush finished off Pelle with a Michinoku Driver in about 9 minutes. [B]Rating ** 1/2*[/B] [B]3. Delirious, Kevin Steen, and El Generico over The Hangmen 3 of Brent, Albright, BJ Whitmer, and Shane Hagadorn in a Street Fight[/B]: Aparently, Pearce must of had some travel issue, because Hagadorn stepped in and took his place in this match. THIS was the match that these 6 have been trying to have for months.They really clicked in this one, and the crowd was actually impresed with Hagadorn, who gave the performance of his life. Delirious got a measure of revenge for the Hangm3n's recent attacks on him when he stapled an ROH Program to the head of Hagadorn to the delight of the crowd. The end saw Delirious pin Hagadorn after that brutal Staple Gun attack in 14 minutes. [B]Rating ** 3/4*[/B] [B]4. The No Remorse Corps of Roderick Strong, Rocky Romero, and Davey Richards over The Vulture Squad of Jack Evans, Ruckus, and Jigsaw when Romero pins Jigsaw.[/B] I didn't think that these two factions could upstage the last match, but somehow they did. They stole the show like they did back in NYC at GBH VI: N2. I hope that this is the sort of action that will be highlighted in the coming year, because it was the perfect blending of strikes, high flying attacks, and submissions. This match ended when Romero hit a Top Rope Spin Kick on Jigsaw for the pinfall. [B] Rating ***[/B] [B]5. ROH vs. NOAH: KENTA over Claudio Castignoli[/B]. The most amazing thing about this match? They gave them nearly 30 MINUTES! Sadly, Claudio didn't click as well with KENTA like he did with Hero at Final Battle, so this match was slightly dissapointing, but it still had some very solid streches thruought. I really thought that they were goin' for the 30 Minute draw, but KENTA hit the Go 2 Sleep on Claudio with under a minute to spare to rack up a win for NOAH. [B] Rating: ** 1/2*[/B] [B]6. ROH vs. NOAH: Austin Aries over Naomichi Marufuji.[/B] Like the last match, there was just something missing. Maybe the crowd was eargerly awating the big matches that were still coming, but they seemed out of it. Marufuji controlled much of the match, but Aries hit The Brainbuster/450 combo to gain a very important victory over Marufuji in 25 minutes. For the last few shows, I thought that they were starting to lose hope in Aries, but with a big win like this, I must of been mistaken. [B]Rating ** 1/2*[/B] * The Briscoes say it's TIME TO MAN UP! MAN UP! They say that every match they have against the AotF is tougher and tougher, so they have to constantly up their game. That's why tonite they turned to one of their idols that they used to watch when they were teenagers, THE SANDMAN to take care of Necro Butcher, once and for all! * *The Sandman says that he''s honored that The Briscoes called him up to go against Necro. He says that he has a lot in common with The Briscoes, they both love drinking and kicking ass! Sandman says that he wants to prove that he is still the biggest Hardcore SOB out there, and this is the perfect way to do just that. Hak says that by the end of the nite, Necro will be very familiar with the Singapore Cane.* [B]7. ROH World Tag Title Match: The Briscoes over The Age of the Fall of Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs when Mark pins Black after the Cut Throat Driver[/B]. This match was by FAR the best in the Briscoes/AotF series, which was great to see on the grand stage of PPV. Started out brawling in the crowd, but the lest 10 minutes was near perfect tag team action. I hope they have a way to keep this feud fresh, because they are really clicking now! [B] Rating: *** 1/2* [/B] [B]8. The Sandman over Necro Butcher in a No DQ Match.[/B] About what you would expect between the two. The crowd was a little burned out, but popped to see old fave Sandman take it to a younger version of himself in Necro. The end saw The Briscoes come out and put Necro thru a table with a Doomsday Device Bulldog thru a table. Sandman followed it up with a DDT and we have the feel good moment of the PPV. [B]Rating ** 1/2*[/B] * A hype Video of Nigel is shown, showcasing his previous title defenses* * Chris Hero says that if he doesn't walk out champ tonite, his own PERSONAL referee will start at the next doubleshot. He's giving ROH officials one night to get it right! *Danielson says that a few months ago, there would be no prize bigger than the ROH Title to him. But now, he has one goal going into this match. He is going to take out Morishima once and for all! [B]9. ROH World Title Match: Nigel McGuinness over Chris Hero, Bryan Danielson, and Takeshi Morishima. [/B]Yet another Main Event that delivers! These 4 can really do no wrong these last few months. Started off pretty slow, with a lot of chain wrestling between Danielson and Hero at the begining, but quickly escalated between Morishima and Danielson who got each other DQ'ed when an all out BRAWL broke out between the two. The lockeroom emptied but couldn't get these heated rivals apart. That left Hero and McGuinness, again. Hero came SOOO close when Sweeney pulled Nigel's foot of the ropes after The Hero's Welcome, but the ref saw it and threaten to DQ Hero. This gave Nigel just enough time to gather himself, and hit a Jawbreaker Lariat for the 1-2-3. [B]Rating: ****[/B] MOTN: Definately the Main Event [B]OUICK RESULTS =============== PRESHOW: Matt Cross and Eddie Edwards over Ernie Osiris and Sugarfoot Payne. 1. Erick Stevens over Gran Akuma. 2.

Special Challenge Match Necro Butcher vs. The Sandman Good move give him former ECW champion to fight.

[K-Federation]

Awesome show. Very realistic. The results look like something ROH would do. I also like the Message Board-like results format you're using. Anyway, the show turned out to be awesome. Keep up the great diary! And now, I want to watch my Glory By Honor shows! (once they get here at least)

[SHaynes23]

Very good stuff, I just read through it and got caught up and can't wait for more.

[The Human Cancer]
