Ich bin heiß auf die Shows ... hier mal der gfesamte Report ... klingt alles fein ....Zitat:We missed the opener but Colt Cabana won a multi-man match via submission.
2. Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli beat Scorpio Sky & Scott Lost. Hero and Claudio are heels but the crowd loved them. Good opener. Claudio did a pretty amazing double giant swing with both guys in powerbomb position, powerbombed them both afterwards, and then they hit their double team finisher for the win.
3. Alex Koslov beat Rocky Romero. Some great highspots early. Koslov hit a big dive that resulted in "FUCK WRESTLEMANIA!" chants. Romero tried a flying armbar off the top but Koslov turned it into a cradle upon landing for the pin.
4. Bison Smith NC Necro Butcher. Or something. They brawled all over the place, and by all over the place I mean into my lap at one point (literally), and then after they'd beaten the crap out of each other all over a bunch of heels came out and they announced that the match was over. People liked the brawl.
5. Kevin Steen beat Kenny Omega. Crowd chanted "THIS IS AWESOME" during some of the nearfalls. Steen hit a foule and a package piledriver near the finish but Omega kicked out, so Steen slapped him in the crossface and got the submission.
6. Steve Corino beat Generico. Totally different style of match, very slow-paced and methodical with Corino playing old-school heel. For the style it was very good. Generico had the win but Steen came out and pulled the ref out of the ring, then Generico, distracted, got rolled up and Corino put his feet on the ropes for the pin.
7. Tyler Black beat Austin Aries. They are doing a deal where tonight Tyler was going to face both Aries and Roderick Strong, his opponents at the PPV, and then tomorrow Strong faces both. Very good match. Aries went for the brainbuster at the finish and Tyler cradled him for the pin.
8. Strong beat Black. Another really good match. Tyler had the pin but Roddy got his feet on the ropes. As Tyler talked with the ref Roddy killed him with a kick and then hit a tiger driver for the pin.
9. Jerry Lynn beat Kenny King in a hardcore match. Jerry Lynn, in his mid-40s, worked his ass off here and looked like he nearly killed himself in the process. Fans were more into this than a lot of other stuff on the undercard. Jerry tied a sunset flip powerbomb through a table but only one of the legs broke. People booed and chanted "ONE MORE TIME!", but instead he gave King a cradle piledriver through the half-broken table and got the pin.
10. Briscoes beat Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards to retain the tag titles. It was clear the undercard was worked in such a way as to ensure that this match, an old-school style ROH match with a million nearfalls and kickouts, was the show-stealer. And it was. I'd say ****1/4 to ****1/2. Excellent stuff ending with Edwards kicking out of a Jay driller, but then eating the doomsday device for the pin.
Also auch wenn mir so a bisserl ein ROH World Title Match fehlt ... aber ich find es einfach cool wenn nen Tag Title Match im ME steht und dann auch noch delivered. Klar bei den Teams kaum verwunderlich ... aber immer wieder schön. Und Steen vs. Omega klingt auch ganz fein. Mjam.
