ROH : Wrestling Reinvented

[tizzyt]

[QUOTE=jw_forever;498300]Another great show there. Really enjoyed the title match, but the best match for me had to be the Butcher/Morishima match. I would soooo loved to have seen it live. You really do make the matches come alive and you make them seem believable and real. I can't say enough good things about this diary. Nice work.[/QUOTE] Thank you again jw, I had a blast writing that show, hell, I have a blast writing all of the shows.

Good show, the stuff with Jacobs & AOTF is good. Strong is a good choice for the new title; the main event is crowded but he's easily on par with them so he should be good working with the up & comers on the roster.

Rottweilers~! Called it! Great show man, can't wait for Night 2. Been doing rewrites on mine, probably have it up today since I am off of work.

Homicide AND Joe? Wow. That was a surprise. Will they be a regular feature in ROH or is this just a one time only deal? Good show btw.

Good show man, its been a while since Raven and Stevie have been around together. Lots of fresh possibilities there even though it'll be nostalgic at the same time. The influx of ROH trueborns seems interesting to me, though. . . wondering if they are mostly one/two-off shows or if something is brewing. . :confused:

The only thing sure about me is, nothing is for sure... May have been just a way to mark some people out, could be that I just wanted to work them all in one of my shows... Only time will tell, I suppose... By the way.... in case you haven't heard yet (everyone!) I GOT MY TICKET TODAY FOR THE ROH PPV TAPING IN CHICAGO 11/22/08!!! WOO HOOO!!!!

Theodore Thompson has also made a decision that is likely not to be a popular one, he has decided to push the Survival of the Fittest card out sixty days, ending the year of Ring of Honor with back to back big cards being Survival of the Fittest, followed up by Final Battle 2008, while ROH faithful have been upset by this taking place, many are agreeable that it would be a great way to end 2008. As much as the crowd despised the appearance of the "Heartbreak Kuzin" Shane Michaels, he is said to be very happy with his first appearance in Ring of Honor, stating that he's "doing the family name justice, by honoring the greatest wrestler in the world" ([B][I]his words[/I][/B], [B][I][U]not[/U][/I][/B] [B][I]ours![/I][/B]) Brandon, Vito & Frankie Thomaselli were recently approached by the man whom had made numerous appearances with Larry Sweeney in scouting their matches in the past few weeks, what the outcome of their meeting was is unknown to us at this time. The next weekend of Ring of Honor action will be in three weeks in Jacksonville and Orlando Florida, no cards have been finalized, however, Stevie Richards has been in contact with Theodore Thompson and after the actions that took place at Glory By Honor VII, a match may be set up that weekend between Stevie Richards and Raven, however nothing has been confirmed. Check back later this week for the official release of the ROH Newswire, where we will hopefully have the final cards for the next weekend of ROH excitement! [/CENTER]

This is what we call fun! What’s there to be depressed about?!”[/B][/COLOR] and goes back to the crowd of fans and joins in the “ROH” chants – cut to ringside] [/I] [COLOR="Red"] DP : ROH Management has made some changes, normally Survival of the Fittest and now it has become a “Symphony of Destruction”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]Lenny : And while a lot of the ROH faithful have not responded well to the idea, some are saying that it makes the beginning of the new year more interesting with there being a new contender to start out the year[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]DP : And this weekend alone we’re going to see a lot of new faces in action, Lenny, let’s get things underway[/COLOR] [B][U]Matt Sydal vs El Condor[/U][/B] Good opening match, a lot of high spots throughout the match, however, Matt Sydal picks up the win after a good fifteen minutes with the Cyclorama. [B][I]Winner : Matt Sydal Match Rating : C[/I][/B] [B][U][SIZE="2"]Ace Steel & Brent Albright vs The Vulture Squad vs Shane Hagadorn & Eddie Edwards[/SIZE][/U][/B] Hagadorn & Edwards are seemingly the new team of Sweet & Sour, Inc after the fall out with Adam Pearce, Larry Sweeney at ringside with the man in the yellow three piece suit, Tampa native, Paul Roma was spotted out in the crowd and received a “generous” ovation from the crowd, despite spending a majority of his career as a jobber. The match itself was decent enough, it kept the crowd into the action with some good high spots from Jigsaw & Ruckus, the end came with Eddie Edwards crotched on the top rope by Jigsaw when he did a springboard shooting star press to Hagadorn outside, Brent Albright climbed up, he and Steel pointed out to Paul Roma, then up to the Heavens in honor of his former tag team partner, Hercules Hernandez, Albright brings Edwards off with a Superplex, as they’re in the air Ace Steel comes flying off of another corner with a big splash, all three hit at the same time and Steel & Albright pick up the win. [B][I] Winners : Ace Steel & Brent Albright Match Rating : D[/I][/B] [B][U]Necro Butcher vs Bryan Danielson[/U][/B] Necro & Dragon did NOT get along well in this match, Danielson tried to make it work to the best of his ability, however, nothing just seemed to go together at all, finish came when Necro decided to try to put an end to Danielson, grabbing a chair and whacking him across the head more than a few times, resulting in a disqualification. [B][I] Winner : Bryan Danielson Match Rating : D[/I][/B] [B][U]Matt Cross vs Low-Ki[/U][/B] Not a bad match at all, Low-Ki was in trouble a few times in this match, almost tapping out to a modified ankle lock/sharpshooter combo which had the fans cheering for, however, Low-Ki managed to escape and wound up hitting a Ghetto Stomp for the win. [B][I] Winner : Low-Ki Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [B][I]*DVD EXCLUSIVE*[/I][/B] [I][Backstage Kevin Steen & El Generico are standing around, the camera gets there at the tail end of their conversation, then Steen turns to the camera] [/I] [COLOR="Indigo"] Kevin Steen : It’s about time you got here, Generico and me, we’ve been talking, well, The Briscoes have been talking too, they talk all the damned time[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Generico : Si[/COLOR] [COLOR="Indigo"]Steen : That’s right, they claim that they’re the best tag team in Ring of Honor and that they were the best tag team champions ever, well, we’ve got a challenge ourselves, we’re issuing a challenge, this leg of the tour is going to be called “Steen & Generico vs The World”, we want ROH management to bring in tag team champions from ANY other companies, TNA, WWE, FIP, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, even CZW, we just don’t give a damn, we want to prove that we’re the best damned Tag Team Champions ever in Ring of Honor!

The match was pretty good and actually thought to be one of the better two matches of the night, however, in the end, Super Eric was no match for the Messiah of the Backbreaker and was put away after 22 minutes with the Gutbuster.

Finish came with Raven trying to climb out of the top of the cage, Stevie and Raven on the top turnbuckle fighting it out, Raven crotched on top, Stevie for a Superplex, but Raven holds onto the cage stopping himself, Stevie nails a few shots to the ribs and Stevie lifts Raven for the superplex, Raven shifts his weight landing on top of Stevie, and grabbing some tights, Todd Sinclair makes the cover, one-two-three [B][I] Winner : Raven Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [I]After the match, Raven attempted to handcuff Stevie to the cage, but Austin Aries and Delirious, who had taken care of Justin Credible outside, got into the cage, causing Raven to run, climbing the other side and retreating through the crowd [/I] [B][I]Segment Rating : D[/I][/B] [B][I][COLOR="Red"]Overall Card Rating : C[/COLOR][/I][/B] [I]Show was a complete success should have increased popularity[/I] [/CENTER]
