Homicide and Corino put on a very good (But very basic) brawl that the fans ate up. Cide and Corino kept it in the ring for the match but they exchanged plenty of stiff shots, chops and kicks. Corino took control of the match and took the match to an old school style with Corino working on Homicide's left knee. Corino kept using under-handed tactics to keep control of the match and Homicide was obviously frustrated by this. Corino made a mistake when he went up top for a Double Axe Handle... Cide fought back and knocked him off the Turnbuckle by crotching him. Cide and Corino then went into a fast-paced move exchanging sequence. Finish came when Corino went for his Old School Expulsion... Homicide escaped it and then hit a LARIAT! to get the win in the first ever Ring of Honor Match![FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 14:02 Rating: B Winner: Homicide[/B] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][I][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][B]Homicide grabs a microphone after the match![/B][/FONT] [/FONT][/COLOR][/I][B][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow]Homicide: [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][I]What the hell happened King?

Some nice spots in the match but a lot of the spots were blown/or the timing was off. Nice suicide dive spot when London hit a Sprinboard Shooting Star on Joel/Jose. Crowd popped for the good and took a **** on the bad (Maximo's wont be back if they can't step up). Finish came when Joel went for a Hurricanrana on London... London caught him in a Powerbomb and held him up there... Spanky went up top as London got close to the Turnbuckle... Spanky came off with a Sliced Bread 2 to Joel out of the Powerbomb which was all she wrote![FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 10:28 Rating: D+ Winners: Paul London and Spanky [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][I][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][B]American Dragon bumps into Chris Daniels backstage (As shown on the projection screen by the entrance-way)[/B][/FONT] [/FONT][/COLOR][/I][B][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow]Daniels: [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][I]Watch where your walking you deviant.

Only reason the rating is low is because Red is still a rookie. Awesome started the match off by just beating the **** out of Red. That was most of the match with Red getting signs of offense in such as reversing the Awesome Bomb THREE TIMES! The first reversal was a DDT, Second a Rana and the third an Amazing Sunset Flip Bomb that the fans (Or Mike Awesome couldn't believe). Red started fighting up on Awesome hitting a bunch of badass flips, kicks and other moves and seemed to have the match won. Red went up top for a Shooting Star Press but AWESOME CAUGHT HIM IN MID-AIR and threw him up and Awesome Bombed him for the win![FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 10:46 Rating: C- Winners: Mike Awesome [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][SIZE=4][FONT=Century Gothic][B]AJ Styles vs. Elix Skipper[/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][B][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=4][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium] [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=4][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]A match that tied the classic between Homicide and Steve Corino earlier in the night. Styles came to the ring to a little reaction from the fans who recognize him from other shows/WCW. Skipper came out to a huge ovation but quickly turned on the crowd when they realized he was sporting a WCW T-Shirt! Styles and Skipper had a very badass match with a lot of quick back and forth moves that the fans had no clue how to react to. The usual loud crowd turned into Japanese crowd mode and would quietly applaud after most moves. AJ and Elix turned up the heat when AJ hit a badass move that the fans jumped to there feet for... Elix whipped AJ into the corner and looked to be chasing after him... AJ scaled the turnbuckles, back-flipped off... landed behind Skipper and then hit Skipper with a Reverse DDT! The fans instantly wnet to there feet and gave them a standing ovation for that move. Elix then went for a clotheline after this... AJ ducked it and hit a Backflip Kick that the fans popped for as well. AJ Styles is now a made-man in the Tri-State! Elix and AJ continued the match for a while until Elix went for the Play of the Day... AJ reversed it by lifting up Elix for a Powerbomb... Elix went for a Rana... AJ cut him off and NAILED THE STYLES CLASH as the fans hit there feet![FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 12:32 Rating: B- Winners: AJ Styles [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=4][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] [FONT=Fixedsys][SIZE=5][COLOR=black]INTERMISSION[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][SIZE=4][FONT=Century Gothic][B]Three Team Scramble: Samoa Joe and Sonny Siaki vs. CM Punk and Colt Cabana vs. Jay Briscoe and Teddy Hart [/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=4][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]A match that was put on by ROH Booker Gabe Sapolsky as an obvious "Lets let the crowd get back into it after intermission" match. Joe and Siaki are known as the "Samoan Hit Squad", Punk and Cabana the "Second City Saints" and Teddy Hart/Briscoe were thrown together whenever Teddy's scheduled partner Johnny Devine had travel troubles and Mark Briscoe was discovered to be only 17. Basic three-way spot fest tag team match. Nothing too great happened... Suicide Dive Spot was the best part... Punk did a Suicide Dive, Colt an Asia Moonsault, Jay Briscoe a Flipping Plancha and Teddy Hart did a 360 Moonsault Asia... Joe and Siaki caught people. First team eliminated was Briscoe and Hart when Briscoe accidentally superkicked Hart. Before Briscoe could make up for it he was eliminated by Sonny Siaki with a Blockbuster off the Top Rope! The Saints/Samoan Hit Squad fought for a moment until Joe hit the Muscle Buster on CM Punk for the win![FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 10:45 Rating: C Winners: Samoan Hit Squad (Joe and Siaki) [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][I][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][B]After the match as Teddy Hart and Jay Briscoe are still leaving Teddy pushes Jay and is obviously frustrated (Having lost his ROH Debut) [/B][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/I][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][SIZE=4][FONT=Century Gothic][B] Jerry Lynn vs. Eddy Guerrero [/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=4][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]Probably the biggest draw on the entire crowd. Whenever Jerry made his entrance the fans quickly threw Black and Blue Streamers into the ring. Eddy was greeted with Red and White ones. Definitally a match that could be put up against most of the rest of the card (AJ/Skipper and Cide/Corino are the only ones who can compare to this). Eddy and Lynn started the match off with some of the best technical wrestling exchanges that the crowd had ever seen... Lynn quickly turned up the offense on Eddy and went toe-to-toe with him for a while. Eventually Eddy started getting the best of Lynn (Who became frustrated). Lynn broke the chain wrestling up though whenever he took out Eddy with a stiff dropkick. The fans in the crowd boo the fact that the technical wrestling aspect had to be cut short by Lynn (Who is acting more and more like a heel as the match progresses). After this Lynn spent most of the match on-top of Eddy... Lynn focused on Eddy's head to help set up for his patented Cradle Piledriver! Lynn continued this for a while until Eddy fought back up! Eddy and Lynn then took it to the outside for a moment and brawled in front of the fans (Who ate it up). Eddy and Lynn eventually made it back into the ring... Lynn and Eddy ended up on the Top Rope... Lynn (On the top rope) looked to be going for his Cradle Piledriver to Eddy (On the middle Rope) but Eddy back body dropped him off...

Three basic uknown's in the wrestling world going at it in a Triple Threat match doesn't seem like a match that would put any company on the map. Very good three-way spots with some badass chain at the first of the match going straight into all thee men stiffing each other. Not a dull moment in the entire match with a lot of fast break-ups of pinfalls and submissions. Ki, Dragon and Daniels all got there shine in to as each man hit most of his big moves. Big move in the match was Ki going up top (Possibly for his Pheonix Splash)... Dragon cut him off and went for a German Suplex... while he was doing this however Daniels POWERBOMBED Dragon off causing Ki to take a German Suplex in what people have started to call "The Tower of Doom". Finish to the match was Danielson locking in his Arms Across America on Chris Daniels! Daniels looked like he was going to top until Low Ki (Who had been down on the outside ever since Daniels and Dragon did a Double Suicide Dive to him). Ki made it up to the top turnbuckle and broke up the hold with a 450 Splash onto the Bridged Dragon! Ki then pins Dragon to get the win in the first ever ROH Main Event![FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 27:55 Rating: B Winners: Low Ki [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=4][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][I][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][B]After the match Eddy Guerrero hits ringside and approaches Low Ki, Danielson and Daniels... he attempts to shake hands with all three men until Daniels leaves...

Siaki (Who many people claim was a weaker member of the ROH Roster) has really started to come into the leauge of guys like London, Joe and Spanky and this match showed it. Most people would think Joe and Siaki would control the match but quick tags by London and Spanky who were working viciously on Joe's leg. Spanky and London also seemed to be making a heel-turn and the fans in New England were all over them. Siaki got the hot tag and did your typical hot-tag spot...

Williams and Corino clicked pretty well and if Williams was a little more estabilished this match could have probably been a B. Corino and Doug started it off with some nice lock-ups and arm-drags and both men going toe to toe with each other for the first few minutes... Corino however cut him off with a Clothesline... Corino seemed bound and determined to win his second contest in Ring of Honor and it showed with him staying on top of Williams (Who Corino should have been able to make easy work of)... However this started to work at Corino's disadvantage because instead of him being the old school technical wrestling mastermind that he usually is he seemed to just want to hurt Williams. Williams took advantage of this and frustrated Corino by reversing quite a few of his moves into roll-ups. Corino smartened up and eventually got his game back... winning the match with the Old School Expulsion in a good mid-card bout.[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B] Time: 11:59 Rating: C Winner: Steve Corino [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][FONT=Arial Black][I][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][FONT=Arial][B]Mike Awesome emerges from the curtain with a pissed off look on his face...[/B][/FONT] [/FONT][/COLOR][/I][B][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow]Awesome: [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial Narrow][I]You mean to tell me the most talented big-man in all of pro wrestling can't get booked on the second Ring Of Honor Show after I WON my first match in Ring of Honor!

Although that may be the case the match was still pretty good with Guerrero and Ki making the best of it... the main problem was once there opening sequences didn't get over they just went straight into a WWF Style match that many people in the crowd didn't seem to like as much as the pretty much "ECW Style" match they paid to see.

Homicide and Jerry Lynn are proving to be the MVP's of Ring of Honor. Cide and Lynn started it off with some stiff back and forth forearms and the crowd quickly ate it up... Homicide is definitely becoming the breakout star of ROH as he can cut a promo, has a good look and can work his ass off any night of the week. Lynn is having a career revival of sorts in ROH after it seemed like his top years were behind him during his World Wrestling Federation Light Heavyweight Title run. Homicide and Jerry Lynn busted there ass for the crowd and many people who saw this match claim it on the same level as the Triple Threat from EOHB. Homicide hit some moves that the live crowd had never seen him do (The flip-through Suicide Dive) and even went for his Cop Killah but Lynn reversed it... just when it looked like Cide was going to get the win with the Cop Killah...

Briscoe and Teddy Hart should work each other every night of the week. Those two guys tore down the house with some of the moves they did... Teddy Hart easily has the highest moonsault in Ring of Honor. Good dive spot in the match with each guy doing some suicide dives!
