ROH : Wrestling Reinvented

falling_star · October 13, 2008

The Steenerico challenges has so many possibilities!! Great show man. . . hopefully I'll have some time to get Motor City Madness (and maybe Chi-Town Showdown) up tomorrow. Just started working full time on the managment schedule at work and its quite draining over the weekend. :( Gotta admit, though, I'm not a big fan of all of the talent trades being brought in. . . . I mean, obviously the ROH guys like Sydal, Joe, 'Cide give that nostalgia pop when done right (ROTTWIELERS~!). . . but Eric Young? Really, unless you're trying to break into their market (where their overness can help), the TNA guys won't really serve a purpose any better than people on your own roster; especially when you consider that most of the pople worth bringing in from TNA on their in-ring merit are guys from ROH at one time or another anyway. Still a very good show, the talent trades aren't taking anything away from the dynasty right now. . . just a little word of advice from my train of thought. But if you're enjoying the talent trades, by all means continue because this is YOUR Ring of Honor not mine. Mine is [URL="http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=35457"]here[/URL] (cheap plug~!) :p

But I agree that the talent trades are bringing things down a little bit, the talent trades will be done with soon enough (like one or two cards) and a majority of the talent trades that I've done have been run through dark matches except for the obvious ROH originals who I did use for a nostalgic purpose, but I do agree with you and I appreciate the critiscm, hopefully I don't lose too many readers with these next few cards, because the best is yet to come, gotta go through some build up before you get your big pay off kids, don't forget that! BTW - Onslaught in Orlando will be up tonight, with the line-ups being out tomorrow some time. Thanks for hanging in there with me everyone, please, PM me, find me on MSN Live (todd_vanrooyen@hotmail.com), Yahoo Messenger (tvrkicksarse) or even leave feedback on the board if there's something that you hate, something that you love, something you want to see more of or less of, I'm all ears and won't hate on any kind of critiscm.

Pfft.. He’s got nothing on you! Kurt Angle? HA! The guy is a hack and should be DONE in this business! But you? You’re the future of wrestling, you’re the future of Ring of Honor, but just like your cousin, you need to pace yourself, did Shawn Michaels become the Heartbreak Kid overnight? NO! So think about this offer, I’m offering you an opportunity to come on board with one of the most prestigious Enterprises the world has seen, we’ve already been turned down by three guys, who will soon find out that it’s not nice to say no to J.

Aries & Hero had the match of the night, fantastic back and forth action, every one of Hero’ attempts at the Roaring Elbow smash were ducked or countered in some way, Aries attempt at locking in the Horns of Aries was thwarted when Larry Sweeney tripped his leg from underneath him, in the end though, Chris Hero went again for a Roaring Elbow after rocking Aries with a boot to the side of the face, Aries blocked it and rolled him up with a small package for a quick pinfall.

Pretty much what happened here, Morishima refused to sell EVERYTHING that Matthews threw his way, Matthews attempted to leave the ring, however, was informed that if he did not return to the ring, it would be considered a forfeit, therefore forfeiting the ROH World Title, Matthews eventually returned and after taking nothing but hard shots from Morishima (Takeshi caused Matthew’ mouth and nose to bleed after a big boot to the face) Matthews grabbed a chair and shoved Paul Turner out of the way smashing Morishima with the chair three times, Turner called for the bell and Matthews smashed the chair of Morishima’ head, he wore it like a necklace for a few minutes, Matthews grabbed his ROH title and got the hell out of the ring while the crowd showed their disapproval of the match.

[CENTER][IMG]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l177/tvrdabomb/ROHWrestlingReinvented1.jpg[/IMG] [B][U][FONT="Impact"][SIZE="5"][COLOR="Red"]ROH Newswire[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/U][/B] Coming off of a mildly successful weekend in Florida, Ring of Honor looks to head back home for the next weekend of action. Ring of Honor Head Booker Theodore Thompson has been discussing with several people backstage, as well as some of the talent, the possibility of running a weekly show, that will be used to highlight some of the lower card talents, while also using some of the Main players in Ring of Honor, however, nothing has been decided yet, Thompson has been in negotiations with the Hammerstein Ballroom as a place to host these weekly shows, but again, nothing has been set in stone. J. Jeter Enterprises seems to have some of the Ring of Honor faithful semi-upset, as well as some of the talent, The Thomasellis for one, who torched the contract offers from JJE at Onslaught in Orlando. Rocky Romero had a sit down with Ring of Honor Management after the last weekend of shows and discussed his future in Ring of Honor, it appears that CMLL has offered Romero a guaranteed deal and Romero is on the verge of accepting this deal. Ring of Honor management have been listening to the fans of Ring of Honor, it appears that some fans feel that the showcasing of the WWE and TNA stars in the company tend to hurt the smaller promotion, however, everyone was very happy to see Samoa Joe, Homicide, Matt Sydal and Stevie Richards in Ring of Honor, ROH management have declared that they will keep their talent trades to a minimum using them only when the "time is right". Speaking of Samoa Joe, as earlier reported, he was very interested in working more shows for Ring of Honor, but Cary Silkin could not come to an agreement on a price per show for Joe, it appears now that Joe wil be making one last appearance for Ring of Honor, as TNA officials have declared that Joe should be focusing his time on his TNA career at this time. Another TNA tandem who have appeared for Ring of Honor in the past will also be making their final ROH appearance, due to TNA declaration, the next weekend will be the final appearance of The Murder City Machine Guns, their opponents are not yet known. The next weekend of shows are almost finalized, as of right now, the cards look to be as follows : [B][U]Suffocation[/U][/B] Annie Social vs Sara Del Ray Brandon & Vito Thomaselli vs Sexxxy Eddy & Pelle Primeau Shannon Moore vs Claudio Castagnoli Ace Steel & Brent Albright vs Alex Koslov & Josh Abercrombie "The Idol" Aaron Stevens vs Arik Cannon Frankie Thomaselli vs Jonathon Jeter [B][U]8-Man Elimination Match[/U][/B] Austin Aries, Stevie Richards, Delirious & Samoa Joe vs Joey Matthews, Raven, Chris Hero & Low-Ki [B][U]Irresistable Forces[/U][/B] The Murder City Machine Guns will make their final ROH appearance Jimmy Jacobs vs Shannon Moore Roderick Strong © vs IWA : MS World Champion Dingo Delirious vs "The Idol" Aaron Stevens Samoa Joe in his final ROH appearance issuing an open challenge Joey Matthews © vs Austin Aries [/CENTER] [I](OOC : I'm hoping to have everything done up to Survival of the Fittest and Final Battle, which will hopefully be ready to post by this time next week, a lot of cards to come up with, but I'm sure that I can get it done) [/I]

[/I] [B][U]The Vulture Squad vs The Enterprise[/U][/B] After the things that went down at Suffocation, we’ve been informed that J. Jeter Enterprises’ newest members, Shane Michaels & Matt Cross had formed the tag team known as The Enterprise. This match was pretty good, Cross & Michaels obviously getting used to one another, which Jigsaw & Ruckus used to their advantage on a couple of occasions, however, in the end, Cross pinned Ruckus after a Superkick-German Suplex ccombo. [B][I] Winners : The Enterprise Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [B][U]Delirious vs Aaron Stevens[/U][/B] Really good match, Stevens showed that he can really hold his own with ROH’ Head Trainer, Delirious got some early match antics going, but they were short lived, Stevens was having none of it. Both men saw some good offense, after about fifteen minutes of a good match, Delirious locked Stevens into the Cobra Stretch leaving him no choice but to tap out. [B][I]Winner : Delirious Match Rating : C [/I][/B] [B][U]Shannon Moore vs Jimmy Jacobs[/U][/B] Good match between these two, pretty intense, Jacobs was dropping some pretty serious shots on Moore, Moore’ lip was busted open, match went on and Moore was about to hit a Mooregasm on Jacobs, however, Allison Wonderland distracted him as well as referee Paul Turner, allowing Tyler Black to hit the ring and hit Moore with a Burning Hammer and Jacobs is able to pick up the win, the fans shat all over the finish of the match. [B][I]Winner : Jimmy Jacobs Match Rating : C- [/I][/B] [I]The first DVD EXCLUSIVE tonight has J. Jeter Enterprises in the back discussing plans for the future, Michaels & Cross are formally inducted to the group, Jeter thanking Michaels for dropping his HB-Wanna Be gimmick. They then focus on what’s important, ending the Thomasellis, of course with the help of Salvatore Thomaselli, who now wants to be referred as only Mr. Salvatore, claiming that his brothers abandoned him in his time of need, so he’s leaving them when they need him, Jeter then comments that the ROH World Title is in his sights, he doesn’t care who is wearing it, the segment ends with “East Side” Dave Easton assuring Jeter that he got him the biggest, baddest bodyguard for all of the associates of J. Jeter Enterprises – Cut back to the ring [/I] [B][U]Ace Steel & Brent Albright vs The Murder City Machine Guns[/U][/B] Fans chanting throughout this one in huge favor of the MCMG, my favorite part of the match was easily seeing Brent Albright lock the crowbar in on Alex Shelley, only to have Chris Sabin break it off with a dropkick to the face of Albright. Finish came after about 20 good minutes of tag team action, Albright was hit with a Future Shock from Sabin, Steel met the ASCS Rush and was pinned. [B][I]Winners : The Murder City Machine Guns Match Rating : C- [/I][/B] [I]Post match – the fans give a standing ovation to Sabin & Shelley, mixed chanting back and forth from “ROH! ROH! ROH!

[B][I]Winner via DQ : Austin Aries Match Rating : D [/I][/B] [I]Post match the attack was about to get worse until Samoa Joe hit the ring to make the save, bringing the crowd alive, Joe grabbed a mic and said that he made an open challenge to anyone in the back who wanted a piece of Joe on his last night, did Raven or Justin Credible want some? Of course not, they’re too big of p**sies that they have to run away, the challenge still stands, Joe wants a match NOW! – The crowd taunted the person who took Joe up on his challenge, starting a “JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU” chant when Sal Rinauro came out to accept the challenge [/I] [B][U]Samoa Joe vs Sal Rinauro[/U][/B] This was nothing more than a brutalization on poor Sal Rinauro, he took a few stiff kicks from the Samoan Submission Machine, then met his fate when he tapped to the Rear Naked Choke. Winner : Samoe Joe Match Rating : D+ [I]-Joe again grabbed the mic after the match, saying that he would’ve hoped that Ring of Honor would have given him a better opponent for his final match, maybe he was better off staying in TNA and not showing back up if this was the way he was going out, the fans started to turn on Joe, he apologized to them and made the comment that he has $1500 in his trunks, which he pulled out and threw down on the mat, if Ring of Honor would just quit holding out on him, as soon as he made that comment, “Holding Out For a Hero” starts playing and out come Sweet & Sour, Inc with Larry Sweeney, they all start to get into the ring, Joe starts to go after them, but Larry Sweeney stops him, tells him that if he had an agent like Larry Sweeney, he wouldn’t be worried about competition, he’d have the best that ROH has to offer, under normal circumstances, Larry Sweeney would never allow one of his guys to get into the ring without a contract, but with the pot sweetened the way that it was, Sweeney pockets the $1500 from the mat and tells him that he just paid for the best that Sweet & Sour, Inc had to offer, Joe, hearing enough knocks Larry Sweeney out and Chris Hero jumps on Joe from there, starting the Main Event. [/I] [B][U]Samoa Joe vs Chris Hero[/U][/B] FANTASTIC match, these guys were all over the place, Joe took out Sweet & Sour, Inc with a big elbow drive suicide dive, Hero wound up with the advantage at one point, the match went nearly 40 minutes, through out the match the chants were crossed between Hero & Joe, finish came with Hero setting Joe up for the Roaring Elbow, three times it was attempted and all three times Joe was able to block it, finally, Adam Pearce tripped up Joe while Low-Ki jumped up on the apron and grabbed Joe’ arms, Hero hit the other side, BIG ROARING ELBOW COMING, Joe ducked out of the way and Low-Ki flew into the metal sign behind him, Joe with a face full of Enziguiri on Hero, places Hero on the top rope, picks him up, runs around the ring and BIG MUSCLE BUSTER! Joe covers and picks up the win in his final ROH appearance. [B][I]Winner : Samoa Joe Match Rating : B- [/I][/B] [I]After the match, Joe soaked in the crowd chanting “ROH! ROH! ROH! ROH!”, then “THANK YOU JOE! THANK YOU JOE! THANK YOU JOE!” after this, the Murder City Machine Guns came out, Joe & The MCMG all took a final bow in the ring, listening to the “Please don’t go” chants, the ROH locker room is out in the entrance way as well applauding for the three men in the ring- fade to black[/I] [B][I][COLOR="Red"]Final Card Rating : C[/COLOR][/I][/B] [SIZE="2"][I]Complete Success, it should have increased our popularity[/I][/SIZE] [/CENTER]

[B][I]Winner : Delirious Match Rating : D-[/I][/B] [B][U]Ruckus vs Sexxxy Eddy vs Go Shiozaki vs Alex Koslov[/U][/B] Good match, Koslov and Eddy seem to have something with each other as they worked on each other through most of the match, Koslov was first eliminated after Eddy caught him with a roll-up, Eddy was next gone after falling victim to a Bridging Fallaway Slam from Go, Ruckus and Go had a good one on one trying to get the last elimination, but in the end, a Go Flasher was enough to put Ruckus away. [B][I]Winner : Go Shiozaki Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [B][U]Josh Abercrombie vs Jay Briscoe[/U][/B] Pitifully short match, Jay Briscoe showed no remorse and didn't allow Abercrombie any chance at some offense, Jay Driller puts Abercrombie away in 3 minutes. [B][I]Winner : Jay Briscoe Match Rating : D+[/I][/B] [I]*DVD EXCLUSIVE* follows the match, Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black are in the back with their IWA: Mid South Tag Team Titles, Jacobs goes on about how tonight, they finally get their rematch for the ROH Tag Team Titles and Tyler Black tells him that Shannon Moore is no where near the building tonight, that he had to go somewhere else tonight, so this would be a perfect time to take back the ROH Tag Team Titles, Jacobs cackles, says that tonight Steen & Generico's versus the World challenge turns into Steen & Generico, in a world of pain! [/I] [B][U]Mr. Salvatore vs Jack Evans[/U][/B] Jack Evans surprised Mr. Salvatore and "East Side" Dave Easton coming right out of the gate tearing at Mr. Salvatore, Evans almost had the match won, however, when he went for the 630, Mr. Salvatore was able to get his knees up, he quickly wraps Evans up with a modified Rings of Saturn, Evans has no choice but to give. [B][I]Winner : Mr. Salvatore Match Rating : C+[/I][/B] [B][U]Kevin Steen & El Generico © vs Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black[/U][/B] [I][COLOR="red"][SIZE="2"]Steen & Generico vs The World Challenge – ROH Tag Team Titles[/SIZE][/COLOR][/I] Good match, both teams showed great tag team work, Jacobs & Black seemed to be close to winning back the ROH Tag Titles, Jacobs almost had the match won after hitting Generico with the Contra Code, however, in the end, the BRRRRAINNNBUUSTAHHHH!!! On the turnbuckle was enough for Generico to pick up the win covering Tyler Black. [B][I]Winners and [COLOR="red"][B]STILL ROH Tag Team Champions [/B][/COLOR]: Kevin Steen & El Generico Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [B][U]Claudio Castagnoli vs Davey Richards[/U][/B] Good match, Richards and Claudio got around on the mat, it was a great match on the mat, Richards started flying and soon after, the match was over. Richards hit a D.R. Driver and followed up with a Kimura, Claudio fights off the urge to tap out and eventually gets to his knees, and lifts Davey Richards off of the mat, while his arm is still in the hold, runs into the turbuckles slamming Richards’ back into the buckles, the hold is released, Claudio turns around and hits Richards with a modified Ricola Bomb and picks up the win. [B][I]Winner : Claudio Castagnoli Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [I]*DVD EXCLUSIVE* follows for the second time tonight, we’re backstage where Daizee Haze and Cheerleader Melissa are talking with the newest member of the ROH Women’s Division, LuFisto. Daizee tells LuFisto that there are a few women to watch out for, one being Allison Wonderland, the others being the most manipulative bitch, Amber O’Neal and then Ms. Chif, she’s told, is one to just steer clear of completely, Daizee turns around when LuFisto is looking over her shoulder, the camera pans back and “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus is standing, smiling big, Daizee tells LuFisto and Cheerleader Melissa both to stay away from Rhett Titus, especially if they don’t want to catch some kind of disease, Titus looks offended and they all three walk away[/I] [B][U]Low-Ki vs Austin Aries[/U][/B] Match of the night – not to take anything away from the main event, but this one had the people on their feet through most of it, a lot of good counters, near falls through out, finish came reminiscent to the Savage – Steamboat Wrestlemania III classic with about 14 near falls leading to the finish, Low-Ki knocking Aries around, going up top to hit the Ghetto Stomp, but Aries shakes the top rope crotching Low-Ki up top, Aries climbs up for a Superplex, as they go, Low-Ki tries to shift his weight, but Aries is able to hit the Superplex, Aries holds on and rolls Low-Ki over, locks in the front face lock and starts nailing knee shots to the dome, locks Low-Ki in and flips over with the Horns of Aries, Austin refuses to let go and keeps grinding the hold in, Low-Ki eventually submits after he is unable to do anything else. [B][I]Winner : Austin Aries Match Rating : B-[/I][/B] [I]Post Match- Standing Ovation, Aries offers a handshake after the match, but Low-Ki walks out refusing[/I] [B][U]Chris Hero vs The Great Muta[/U][/B] [I][COLOR="red"]A Hero’s Farewell[/COLOR][/I] Crowd was all over Hero at the start of the match chanting “You Sold Out” and “HE-RO SUCKS DI**!” (Clap clap clap clap clap) Muta got a good reaction from the crowd, Hero and Muta did a few chain spots, both ending up on their feet getting standing ovations from the crowd, Muta tries for a Shining Wizard, but Hero is able to block it and lock Muta in a half Boston Crab, match goes on, nearly 35 minutes of match in total, finish comes with Low-Ki hitting the ring, Low-Ki waits for Muta to get up, grabs Muta from behind, quick elbow from Muta, three quick shots to the stomach and one to the side, Muta hits the ropes, goes for a Shining Wizard, but Low-Ki hits the mat, he sits up, turns his head and gets Mist in the face! Larry Sweeney is also out, he hits the apron MIST FOR SWEENEY, Hero whips Muta around, three quick elbows, irish whip, Muta flips him self down, upside down on the ropes and comes back with a big elbow to the face of Hero, Hero hits the mat, as he’s sitting up Muta hits the ropes and BIG SHINING WIZARD, Muta covers in the middle of the ring ONE-TWO-THREE! [B][I]Winner : The Great Muta Match Rating : C+[/I][/B] [I]Muta celebrates a second, helps Chris Hero to his feet, he offers the handshake that Hero refused before the match, Hero accepts the handshake this time, Muta raises Hero’s hand, the crowd is chanting “Please Don’t Go” (seems to be a pattern these last couple of cards) then works their way into a “THANK YOU HE-RO!” (clap clap clap clap clap) Hero takes his final bow, then leaves on his own, fade out with Muta spitting mist in the air again after the match while he celebrates. [/I] [B][I][COLOR="red"]Card Rating : C-[/COLOR][/I][/B] [COLOR="red"][I][SIZE="1"]Should have increased popularity[/SIZE][/I][/COLOR] [SIZE="1"]ROH : Severe Punishment should be up later today or early tomorrow[/SIZE][/CENTER]

[/I] [B][U]Adam Pearce vs Jigsaw[/U][/B] Not a very good match, no chemistry between these two at all, Pearce hits Jigsaw with a Rack Bomb after about 10 minutes of action. [B][I]Winner : Adam Pearce Match Rating : D[/I][/B] [B][U]Ace Steel & Brent Albright vs Erick Stevens & Eddie Kingston[/U][/B] Stevens & Kingston had some good chemistry with each other, saw some really good tag team work from both teams, however, the final result was one that was seen by every one when Brent Albright made Stevens tap out to the Crowbar. [B][I]Winners : Ace Steel & Brent Albright Match Rating : C[/I][/B] [B][U]Delirious vs Eddie Edwards[/U][/B] Delirious dominated this match, Edwards had no offense and after a Chemical Imbalance II, Delirious picked up the win. [B][I]Winner : Delirious Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [I]-cut from the end of the Delirious “celebration” to “East Side” Dave Easton coming to the ring with Jonathan Jeter, Easton talks his talk about Ring of Honor and all of the men that want to get their hands on the “Untouchable” Jonathan Jeter and the rest of the associates of J. Jeter Enterprises, so to prevent this from happening, he went out and found the biggest, baddest man that he could find to protect the “assets” of J. Jeter Enterprises, that man’s name is simply “Robert” – from there, “Robert” (aka Bob Sapp) walks out, so-so reaction from the crowd, gets in the ring and the next match is about to get underway[/I] [B][U]Vito Thomaselli vs Robert[/U][/B] Vito got his licks in on Robert, however, most of them were no-sold as Robert barely even wobbled to look like he was about to go down, Robert started to dominate and it was all over from there, Vito thrown around like a rag doll, Robert picked up the win after catching Vito with a quick jab and following up with a big hook to the jaw, Vito Thomaselli was knocked out cold. [B][I]Winner : Robert Match Rating : D+[/I][/B] [I]*DVD Exclusive* follows up showing a small recap video of Chris Hero and his final ROH match with The Great Muta, as the video is ending with Chris Hero walking out, the camera pans back and Davey Richards, Low-Ki and Adam Pearce are all standing around a monitor, Richards chuckles, then looks to the others and asks who Larry Sweeney’s next “meal ticket” is going to be. – cut back to ringside[/I] [B][U]Claudio Castagnoli vs Takeshi Morishima[/U][/B] Good hard hitting match, these guys threw everything that they had at each other, Morishima came out on the short end of the stick this time though, falling to Claudio after a Ricola Bomb. [B][I]Winner : Claudio Castagnoli Match Rating : C-[/I][/B] [B][U]Jimmy Jacobs vs Shannon Moore[/U][/B] Good match, better than there last contest, Tyler Black and Allison Wonderland are out with Jacobs, Moore gets rid of Black early though, hitting him with a Mooregasm from the ring apron while he wasn’t paying attention, finish of the match came with Jimmy Jacobs trying to hit the Contra Code, Shannon Moore stopped it by crotching Jacobs on the top rope, pulling Jacobs down into the tree of woe and hitting a dropkick to the face, as soon as Jacobs got to his feet, a brainbuster was delivered and Moore climbed up waiting for Jacobs to get up, hits the Mooregasm and picks up the win [B][I]Winner : Shannon Moore Match Rating : C[/I][/B] [B][U]Joey Matthews © vs Bryan Danielson[/U][/B] [I][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="2"]ROH World Title[/SIZE][/COLOR][/I] Another title defense that the fans hated, I’m starting to think that the ROH fans aren’t liking Joey Matthews as the World Champion, either that or they’re tired of Matthews escaping on a screw job, which is what happened here, the match got to the end (after a grueling 15 minutes of watching these guys not work very well together), Danielson locked Jacobs in the Cattle Mutilation, just as it seemed that Matthews was about to tap, Raven appeared, pulling Danielson’ leg out and breaking up the hold, Raven and Danielson get into it, start slapping each other around, enabling Joey Matthews to whip Danielson around and catch him with a Double Arm DDT and picking up the win. [B][I]Winner and [COLOR="red"]STILL ROH World Champion[/COLOR] : Joey Matthews Match Rating : D [/I][/B] [I]After the match, Raven and Matthews were about to start at Danielson again, however, Austin Aries hit the ring at that time and instead of running, Aries backed Raven into a corner, as he got closer to the corner, Raven dropped to the mat, rolled to the outside and caught Aries with a thumb to the eye as he tried to reach for him, Raven grabbed Aries’ arms and held his arms through the ropes trapping him in the corner, Matthews on the other side of the ring was about to take off at Aries, however, Claudio Castagnoli came running down to make the save for Aries and nearly took Matthews head off with an uppercut – Matthews and Raven took off running, Claudio checked on Danielson & Aries – cut screen with the ROH logo across and we’re ready for the main event [/I] [B][I](Segment Rating : D)[/I][/B] [B][U]Low-Ki vs The Great Muta[/U][/B] Easily match of the night here, Low-Ki came out with Sweet & Sour, Inc and Larry Sweeney, it was revealed to the live crowd that just less than a week prior to this show, Low-Ki had won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Title, which he was wearing to the ring, however, this is not a match for that title. Muta and Ki start off hard at each other, chops, kicks, neither man backing down, Muta went for his trademark elbow drop, but met the mat, Ki tried one of his own, but met mat, locking hands, they each try for an advantage, Muta spit the mist trying to take the advantage, but Low-Ki ducked it go underneath and a northern lights suplex, Muta bridges out of it, both men up, still locking hands, Low-Ki kicks a hand away, Muta kicks the other hand apart, both men throw a chop at the same time, twice in a row, both men hit the ropes, Low-Ki ducks a clothesline, Muta hits the ropes upside down, comes back but Low-Ki catches him, Release German Suplex and Muta lands on his feet, Low-Ki nips up and we’re at a stand off, both men get a standing ovation. The match itself went on, everytime Sweet & Sour, Inc members tried to get involved Low-Ki himself would make sure that they didn’t, finish came with Muta taking out Sweet & Sour, Inc members Dempsey, Hagadorn, Edwards & Pearce with mist and some stiff kicks while he was outside, Sara Del Ray came from behind to try to hit him, but Muta whipped around, went to spit the mist and Del Ray ducked, causing Larry Sweeney to get hit with the mist, Muta rolls back in, ducks a kick from Low-Ki, tries a kick of his own, but it’s blocked, Muta and Low-Ki get into a chopping contest again and Muta gets distracted by Davey Richards who tries to jump up on the apron, Low-Ki with a stiff kick to the chest of Muta, Low-Ki follows up with an attempt of a Ki Krusher, gets Muta up, starts going center ring and Muta uses the momentum and rolls Low-Ki through! Referee Paul Turner is in position! ONE-TWO-THREE!!!! [B][I]Winner : The Great Muta Match Rating : C[/I][/B] [I]The crowd is going nuts with the end of the match, chanting “ROH”, Larry Sweeney and Sara Del Ray are yelling at each other outside the ring, she storms off, we fade out on Muta and Low-Ki shaking hands after the match, showing obvious respect for each other.

[QUOTE=dtrot021;511849]lmao, just recognized you jobbed out Hero on his last appearance. That's a nice way to get into WWE's developmental! What a jerk you are! lol. :P[/QUOTE] It was unintentional. When I started the game and made changes to the schedule (to set up for a stacked December) Hellbound/Severe Punishment were early November, while Killing Point was at the end of November, after the double shot was run, I didn't plan on Hero signing a developmental with WWE before I had a chance to run Killing Point and use him again, so unfortuantely, I had to live with the departure of Chris Hero the way that it was.

ROH : Chicago Spectacular '08 Night 1 Frankie Thomaselli vs [B]Mr. Salvatore[/B] -Coin toss really between these two. [B]Kevin Steen & El Generico[/b] vs Current CZW & PWG Tag Team Champions Cheech & Cloudy - Up in Smoke -Steen and Generico get a big win to move them up the tag team rankings. Brent Albright vs [B]Jonathan Jeter[/B] -Jeter due to heel debauchery. [B]Brandon & Vito Thomaselli[/B] vs The Enterprise (Shane Michaels & Matt Cross) -Thomasellis for the win, because I have a deep irrational hatred for Matt Cross. ROH Independent, International, Invitational Title [B]Roderick Strong ©[/B] vs "The Whole F'n Show" Rob Van Dam -As much as I mark out for RVD, I think Strong's going to get the duke here. Bryan Danielson vs [B]Raven[/B] -Like both, but think Raven is going to get the win here. [B]Austin Aries[/B] vs Go Shiozaki -Aries wins, to hopefully set him up for a future title run. ROH World Title [B]Joey Matthews ©[/B] vs KENTA -I think tonight will be a big victory to add to the title reign for Joey Matthews ROH : Chicago Spectacular '08 Night 2 Jack Evans vs [B]"Addicted to Love" Rhett Titus[/B] -Titus for the win just because. [B]Franky The Mobster[/B] vs Ace Steel -Franky puts the screws to Ace Steel Ruckus vs [B]CIMA[/B] -Time to give one to the Japanese representatives. Kevin Steen & El Generico vs [b]current NJPW Tag Team Champions[/B] -Steen and Generico just fall short, but give a competive match. [B]Sara Del Rey[/B] vs Amber O'Neal -By virtue of her being the only one I've seen wrestle. El Condor vs [B]Delirious[/B] -Because it's Delirious blast it. [B]Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson[/B] vs Joey Matthews & Raven -Most likely with Aries pinning Matthews to set up a future title match somewhere down the line.
