RING OF HONOR RESULTS 6/23 CHICAGO RIDGE, IL.
- 06/24/2007 (2:20:48 pm)
- Keith Lipinski
Wrestler signs contract in ring… PPV Spoilers…
Hello, I’m Keith Lipinski host/idiot savant on the Dr. Keith Lipinski Show. I went to a wrestling show earlier tonight, it was quite grand and not at all salty. I sent REAL TIME results to two major big time wrestling websites, sadly, neither of them have posted them yet. Quite a shame, really, if you have ever tried to text results with a cell phone, you know unless you have a keyboard it's a daunting task. Anyway, my good chap Stevie J over at www.angrymarks.com did an exquisite report that went to many a site yesterday, and hell, I could just copy and paste his report and put some notes in? Why not!!! (Anything with a doctors note is written by yours truly)
1. Ernie Osiris & Chicago's Favorite Homeboy Sugarfoot Alex Payne vs. Mitch Franklin & Dingo. Big pop for Sugarfoot. Sugarfoot and Ernie win after Ernie does a backflip off the top and Sugarfoot covers for 3. BIG POP.
Doctors note 1: This was announced by birthday boy Adam Pearce I mean Adam Pearce playing the role behind the curtain of Gary Micheal Capetta as your PRE-SHOW MAIN EVENT and had a time limit of “TV time remaining.” Right after the bell rang, Capetta announced “five minutes gone by.” Hillarious stuf.
Doctors note 2: Sugarfoot was hugely over with the chicago crowd getting the streamers and the works, and more importantly the win. He also did a fabulous sugarfoot strut only to be met by DINGOS~! Fisherman buster suplex for two. But thankfully the Sugarfoot hit a BACKDROP DRIVER (Sugarshima?) and then the Osiris (who resembles IWA-MS star Sal Thomaselli) gut the swanton on Dingo as Sugarfoot got the pin in 4:33. Chicago, and I would like to think America celebrated as Osiris lifted Sugar foot up to the heavens.
Doctors note 3: Dingo, a man with the arm of Sabu tattooed on his back pointing to the sky and the words extreme written on it, is damn entreating to watch with some great manurisims
Belltime has officially changed to 7:35pm.
Doctors note 4: It ended up being 7:45 before the show started, the setup of the Fronteer Park Field house was different then usual ROH shows, a large bleacher was seen opposite the hard camera. About 800-850 were there-slightly down, although it was ok as:
a. this was the first ROH chicago show without any home grown Chicago talent like Colt Cabana or CM Punk (other then Adam Pearce who denonced Chicago pre-match)
b. PCW a local Chicago promotion had their annual dream night show AN ENTIRE MILE AWAY with Kurt Angle signing autographs
The show is offically underway! Dave Prazak is in the ring putting over ROH hard, there are streamers everywhere.
Doctors note 5: Prazak challened Paul Heyman here making sure everyone was going to drink the sweet ROH Kool aid (or Cool whip) and be hot for the show. This crowd didn’t need it but it might have been nice to new fans to hear about ROH’s (in prazak’s words) “pure completion with the best athletes” Prazak announced this show will be seen in 50 million holes “potentially” and wanted the crowd to “do Chicago proud”
Doctors note 6: Crowd was hot to start “our version of professional wrestling”
2. No Remorse Corps vs. Delirious/Erick Stevens/Matt Cross. Delirious and Stevens hit the ring, along with Davey Richards (doctors note: M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross) Delirious cuts a babbling promo. Stevens and Delirious chop the sh*t out of Romero and he flees. Crowd chants “Rooooooooderick” for Strong. Delirious does a flip off the top rope to the floor. Strong chops Delirious hard and does eyepoke. Romero does double footstomp. The No Remorse Corps gets the win.
Doctors note 7: awesome opener, fast and furious and never ever boring. Really great six man tag with everyone shining in this. A great final minute where everyone hit everything until Davey Richards (with long tights) hit Matt Cross with his DR Driver #1 (double underhook piledriver) for the pin in 11:27, short but there was so much going on here it was quite awesome and the crowd was quite excited for.
Doctors note 8: Austin Aries was in the bleachers wearing sunglasses and enjoying the show as a fan. His hair was long as he told me "I can't afford a haircut right now."
Doctors note 9: Stevens got the mic first and announced “6 man tag match right now.” Delirious (with a BEARD) cut his usual great coherent promo noting at the end “its time for a war”
Doctors note 10: the no remorse corps are a great stable and compliment each other well. there double teams including one where Roderick & Rocky hit a face first suplex, then Rocky and Davey hit their fallen opponent to hard kicks off the ropes to the chest and back of the guy, just awesome. Also Rocky (who did not do his awesome heelish dance tonight) and Roderick had an awesome double team where Roderick catapulted Rocky to the outside over his head.
Doctors note 11: Matt Cross was the star of the match getting some super near falls towards the end with his shooting star press, and his Death From Above corkscrew 450 splash. Stevens also looked good with his choo choo (godfathers old ho train) into the corner on all three guys, and a great TKO for a nearfall. One awesome spot saw Stevens hit an overhead suplex, and as the person got up they met Delirious’ shadows over hell, and then the 450.
Austin Aries comes out of the crowd and hits the ring, does a suicide dive. He cuts a promo saying he has a piece of paper which will free him from TNA and make him ROH full time. Everyone is throwing him pens. Aries says he’s back home where people respect this business. Aries puts over ROH as best product in the world. Big F*CK TNA chant from the crowd.
Doctors note 12: This was awesome (clap, clap, clap, clap). Good stuff with the contract and talking about sitting at home for two months and this peace of paper (holding up paper) is his WRESTLING FREEDOM~!
Doctors note 13: Aries, who showed great enthusiasm (more then he ever in TNA after they made him a Starr) on his promo and asked for a pen, maybe 12 pens were thrown in the ring. Aries signed the contract, then put the paper down in the ring. oops. He left for a minute then went back to give it to ROH President Cary Silkin and get a warm handshake and a great welcome back chant. Apparently he cannot work ROH until July though (maybe in time for the JAPAN shows as Aries is doing a tour of Dragon Gate)
3. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Matt Sydal. Claudio is making the crowd go “eyyyyyy” and do the wave. Delayed vertical suplex and “eyyyyy”, tornado spin release and “eyyyyyy”, gut wrench suplex for 2. Sydal sweeps the leg and does a running flip on Claudio to the outside. That starts competing “Let’s go Sydal” and “Let’s go Claudio” chants. Ton of near falls and standing shooting star presses by Sydal for 2. Claudio tosses Sydal in the air like a pizza - WOW! Sydal calls for the finish, does a head scissor. Claudio reverses in mid-flip and hooks the legs 123 for pin - f’n awesome match! Winner: Claudio Castagnoli.
Afterwards, Larry Sweeney & Chris Hero come out. Tank Toland and Bobby Dempsey are with them. Dempsey gets a “He’s on ster-oids” chant. Sweeney is trying to recruit Sydal, says he has a contract for him. Claudio takes the mic, tells Matt not to do it, that Sweeney is a scumbag. A “You’re a scumbag” chant follows. Claudio rips up the contract and starts to kick ass, but Sydal attacks him from behind. Hero stretches out Claudio. Sydal asks Sweeney if the contract promising a fruitful career was valid, and if so to print out another and he’ll join Sweet and Sour Inc. Sydal shakes all their hands and everyone leaves, except Claudio who’s still down and gets up slow. Big pop when he finally stands.
Doctors note 14: very fun wrestling match and a case of David and Goliath in wrestling where Goliath can work. Good finish of a hurricanrana with a rollup attempt only to see Claudio (with short hair and velvet tights which got a huge chant) roll thru in 8:48 for the win.
Doctors note 15: Claudio’s stuff with the eyyy and having people do the wave is quite comical. Good counter wrestling early as Sydal is flexible enough and Claudio is a very good worker so this was a fun match.
Doctors note 16: Claudio’s giant swing count, 26 rotations. Later on he called for his bicycle kick, only to have the crowd not care and Claduio do the motion for “so so.” So Claudio tired to do the kick only to have Matt block it and hit a dragon screw and a standing Shooting Sydal Press for two.
Doctors note 17: Ok, Sweet and Sour Inc is the greatest stable since Simon Diamond, Johnny Swinger, The Muskateer, Prodigy, Prodigette, Mitch. Bobby Dempsey was great in his space age track suit and doing jumping jacks and hindo squats.
Doctors note 18: two contract angles in a row??
Doctors note 19: The piece of paper said “Chicago Ridge Park District Fitness Forum”
Doctors note 20: Larry Sweeney is a fantastic talker and had a terrific pair of snakeskin books.
Doctors note 21: Sydal should be a great heel as Sweeney guides his “furitfull career.” After the beat down on Claudio (coudsey of the Hero’s Welcome/Handman’s clutch), Sydal told Sweeney to go to his mobile office and work out a deal. Sydal wanted “first classs, air, back home!”
4. Naomichi Marufuji vs. BJ Whitmer. Big streamers and pop for Marafuji, most streamers so far tonight. It is a great match. Both guys have whipped each other into every guardrail and stiffed each other in the ring, tons of near falls and reversals. Marafuji cleans Whitmer’s clock with a clothesline for near fall. BJ in tree of woe, Marafuji goes coast to coast with a face kick for 2 and a big pop. Marafuji comes off the ropes drills Whitmer’s head into the mat for 123 pin. Winner: Naomichi Marafuji. A slightly anti-climactic finish, but the crowd’s happy chanting for him, “Please come back, please come back.”
Doctors note 22: is it just me or was Marufuji looking very Kaz Hayashi like tonight?
Doctors note 23: finish saw Marufuji hit a superkick and then a Shiranui attempt, BJ stopped hit and hit a german suplex with release but Marufuji landed on his feet and then hit the superkick, Shiranui combo for the win in 13:17. Good but not blow away match.
Doctors note 24: Marufuji hit a very impressive powerbomb into armbar submission (rope break).
Doctors note 25: Becky Bayless afterward did a spot for the PPV by the bleachers crowd where she said towns ROH was coming to. It was there, and then it was over.
5. Pelle Primeau vs. Brent Albright. Pelle Primeau comes out with the Top of Class trophy. His opponent is Brent Albright in a hood. Stevie J takes a high-velocity streamer to the head from a fan trying to throw it into the ring. Albright puts Primeau in an armbar and makes him tap. Winner: Brent Albright.
Doctors note 26: Stevie J got 27 stitches from that streamer.
Doctors note 27: The top of the class trophy was not on the line and thus this probably angered Brent greatly.
Doctors note 28: Amazing squash. If they want to put over Brent as a MONSTER this was the match to do it in. 1:47 seconds. Brent hit a germen suplex, his half nelson german suplex (which got a chant of “please don’t die”), and then Brent went for the cover but lifted him him and hit a gorilla press, as Pelle (who was celebrating his 21st here) assended to the earth like the Space Shuttle from high in the sky, Albright got the crowbar on for the win. Fine fine squash.
6. ROH World Championship Match: Takeshi Morishima vs. Jimmy Rave. Morishima pounds the sh*t out of Rave. The crowd starts chanting, “Die Jimmy Die”. Then dueling chants start - “Let’s Go Jimmy” and ”Mo-ri-shi-ma”. Jimmy is thrown off the top rope, Morishima does a ”Joe-esque” senton on him. Rave is getting a lot of hope spots. Rave has Morishima in an ankle lock, but Shima gets to the ropes. Morishima kills Rave with a brain smashing suplex and gets the pin. Winner and still Champion: Takeshi Morishima. A quick, but largely good fun squash match.
Doctors note 29: Short (3:57) but really Rave got allot of offense in. Two squash matches in a row would make some people angry, to me, they were both fucking great squash matches.
Doctors note 30: Morishima was not wearing his fur or his cowboy hat, this made Bill Barlow co-host of the Dr. Keith Show (of which Jimmy was a guest this week and talked about facing Morishima down the line) quite sad.
Doctors note 31: Loud “die jimmy die” charts to start, but overall I think people were into this match and Jimmy trying to do anything to beat down Morishima. Including hitting a spear, a lariat, the knee to the face and trying the Pedigree / Greetings From Ghana only to get backdropped, but then turning it around into the heel hook. Morishima made the ropes then hit a sidewalk slam/lariat and a backdrop driver for the win.
Doctors note 32: Morishima was over with the crowd, as it takes some time to get used to him. He had a bloody nose and a fat lip after the match.
7. ROH World Tag Team Title Match: Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico. Let’s hope Mark doesn’t try to kill himself again this time! El Generico and Jay Briscoe to start. Steen tags in - he’s one chunky looking dude! Briscoes do double dropkicks on him in the corner. They’re building this slow and mostly letting the heels beat up the Briscoes. Briscoes starting to make a comeback on Generico, Mark in particular - and he tags in Jay. Steen does a flip over the ropes on Mark. Now they’re all outside the ring - but not able to see since everyone is standing. Someone was just thrown into crowd next to us, but still cant see who. Steen hits a powerbomb for 2. Generico does an amazing flip to the outside. Steen got a near fall off the top. Generico gets hit with Jay driller for 2.9, double team Jay driller for 3! Winners and still Champions: The Briscoes. Afterwards, Steen beats them up with a ladder. He starts getting “You fat f*ck” chants as they finish celebrating and start leaving the ring. The Briscoes recover and leave to a big pop.
Doctors note 33: Kevin Steen should have a headset mic on at all times so he can do commentary because his lines to his partner were quite great. "DO SOMETHING" "I told you so." His interaction with the crowd was just as great, as a fan noted "Steen sucks" and Steen shot back 'I Rule!" Then someone said "Kevin Steen stole my bike" that line was *****
Doctors note 34: there was a USA chant in this match. It seemed great but out of place as an ROH show.
Doctors note 35 and SECOND CRAZIEST SPOT OF THE NIGHT; on the outside, the Brothers Briscoe do a DOUBLE BEIL THROW of El Generico into the sixth or seventh row. Really, they told the fans to "get out the way" and as it was empty got him airborne, and he took it like he was jumping onto a bed. A minute later in the section next to him, Mark took a running awesome bomb from the floor into section B from Steen. Steen to the crowd before this "MOVE!"
Doctors note 36: Mark and Jay both hit shooting star presses off the guard rails to their respective men, thankfully there were matts on the floor just in case Mark gets bad aim once again.
Doctors note 37: El Generico is a great man. Fantastic wrestler. Wonderful human. Him and Steen "Steenerico" make a great team, one great double team with the Ole running big boot into the corner and Steen hitting a huge (and by huge I mean because he's a husky gentleman) swanton for two.
Doctors note 38: Steenerico had Jay set up for a package piledriver, Generico double team but Mark broke it up. Genericho hit a stunning tornado DDT, somehow Kevin Steen landed flat on a table and mark did spring to the top rope but did a double stomp on Steen. Then a DVD on Genericho and a double team springboard spike J-Drilla for the pin at 16:20. Very good match, but at the same time I feel they should have gotten more time, and I think these teams could face each other for quite a while.
Doctor's note 39: The ladder at the end either is a hint for a ladder match down the line (possibly at the next Chicago show?) or maybe Steen couldn't find a blowtorch or wee Irish lad under the ring to beat on the Briscoes with
The announcer just revealed that they’ll tape a 3rd PPV at this venue on Sept 15th!
Doctors note 40; in your face East COAST! Front row tickets were sold out before tonight's show even started
Intermission at 9:25pm.
8. SHIMMER Tag Match: Lacey & Rain (w/ Jimmy Jacobs) vs. Daizee Haze & MsChif. MsChif is hilarious - she keeps screaming and scaring her opponents. They’re trying like hell to keep Daizee from making a tag. She keeps screaming at the ref - this is so funny. Daizee finally gets the tag and keeps right on screaming. Lacey is distracting the ref and Daizee has to manhandle him to get him to count a near fall. Lacey & Rain double team MsChif for the pin. Winners: Lacey & Rain. Jimmy Jacobs poses with them afterwards.
Doctors note 40: Jimmy Jacobs is another great man, not only does he get a "you got laid" chant pre-match, but during the course of the match, he got to smoke a cigarette AND undress himself. By the end of the match, his shirt was totally unbuttoned. Plus after the match he had some great facials and some shifty eyes at Rain.
Doctors note 41: Lots of great beating down and selling on Daizee Haze here as she makes a great babyface in trouble and quite possibly a female Ricky Morton. She also had to sell having smoke blown in her face by Jimmy. Daizee then hit a baseball slide dropkick and Jimmy fell down on his ass. Lacey came in as a house of fire by yelling "don't touch him!!!"
Doctors note 42: Great whacky double team submission in this one
Doctors note 43: Finish came when MsChiff had Lacey in a bridge, and Jimmy used his cane to break up the pinfall, Lacey then put MsChiff in the double team unprettier as Rain held MsChiff's legs up at 8:41. Ok match. The selling of the Haze made this one fun.
9. Grudge Match (30 min time limit): Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero (w/Larry Sweeney, Tank Toland & Bobby Dempsey). Hero runs the ropes while he’s coming out, while Sweet and Sour Inc. do jumping jacks. More streamers for Nigel’s entrance. Hero feigns a handshake, and shakes Sweeney’s hand instead. Competing “Let’s go Nigel” and “F*ck you He-ro” chants start. Hero does his flips and knee drops for his own benefit and gets a “Holy sh*t” chant. Dueling handstands on the top rope. When hero does his, Nigel just pushes him off onto his team. Nigel chases the heels and Hero dropkicks him thru the ropes. Nigel sweeps
Hero’s face into the mat a few times but gets a boot to the face thru the ropes. Hero tries a crab, but Nigel gets a rope break. Nigel with chops on Hero. Hero stomps on Nigel’s head, but he gets up. Hero with chops, Nigel with uppercuts. Nigel gets the better of it and Hero is dazed. Nigel with a surprise short arm clothesline for 2.9 that pops the crowd. Hero set on the top, but he knocks Nigel off and nails a dropkick. Nigel and Hero outside, Nigel wipes him out on the barricade. Hero does the senshi stomp but only gets 2. Heels pull Nigel over the top and he chases them to the back. Top rope stretch slam face first to the mat and Nigel gets the pin. Winner: Nigel McGuinness. Hero sells like he’s out cold. Hero comes to quickly, rolls out out of the ring, and ref helps him to the back.
Doctors note 44: On coming down to the ring, Larry Sweeney punched me in the chest, its still stinging. He also called me an "asshole" just because I gave him thumbs down. He will pay! Oh yeah, Sweeney's snakeskin shoes were replaced by brown work boots here.
Doctors note 45: Bobby Cruise announced pre match that "Chris Hero or Bobby Dempsey has never taken steroids" Of course, where does that leave Larry Sweeney?
Doctors note 46: say what you will about ROH lacking the funny, but the stuff with Tank Tolland and Bobby Dempsey is quite fricking great. The only suggestion I would make is have Dempsey do crunches during the matches, or take notes.
Doctors note 47: excellent match with fantastic pacing, much better then their match as seen on VH1 on Mania Weekend. Could it be because no Johnny Fairplay, or because Bobby Dempsey >>> Johnny Fairplay.
Doctors note 48: Hero's gymnastic display to start was quite grand. 9.5.
Doctors note 49: Harsh war full of chops, some good counter wrestling, and stuff wonderful stiffness. Nigel's chest was quite red after the match.
Doctors note 50: Chris Hero was on the top rope for a move. He yelled at the top of his lungs "this is awesome" and hit a missle dropkick, he then did a second rope hero's welcome for two. Seriously, the this is awesome was in fact quite awesome And these two gave each other everything including a brutal Hero double stomp right on Nigel's chest, Nigel came back with a European uppercut attempt that hero ducked only to be lariated for.
Doctors note 51: Finish saw Nigel go for his Pendulum Lariat but as he was bouncing off the second and top ropes all three heels grabbed him, this brought out Claudio to run them all to the back. And then Nigel hit the TOWER OF LONDON n 18:23 for the win. Great pace fun finish. Hero & Sydal vs. Claudio & Nigel will be FUN!
Adam Pearce comes out after the match, wearing a Flair-like robe that says ”Scrap Iron”. The crowd starts a Repo Man chant. Pearce cuts a promo on Colt Cabana and heels on Chicago, his hometown. Morishima comes out, and the crowd chants “You f’d up” at Pearce. Announcer says that this has just been made into a World Title Match!
Doctors note 52: Shane Hagadorn his MAN SERVENT had his arm in a sling as he came out, Pearce called the fans "HALF HEADS~!" and asked for no REPO MAN chants. He put over his 29 birthday tomorrow, his match with Colt Cabana from the last Chicago show, and then said Chicago was no longer his hometown. He wanted a chump to beat on for his birthday…
Doctors note 53: Morishima came out with the belt in his mouth!!!
10. ROH World Championship Match: Takeshi Morishima vs. Adam Pearce. Pearce blows 2 shoulder tackles as shima doesn’t budge. He tells Shima -“Are you kidding? You hit the ropes.” Shima does and steamrolls him. Shima with a top rope dropkick. Pearce throws Shima out. More Repo Man chants. Pearce suplexes Shima back into the ring - impressive! Cross body off top misses. Shima sits down on a sunset flip and nearly gets 3. Pearce puts on a repo man mask! Big mistake - Shima goes on offense. Hagadorn tries a run in, but Morishima still gets the 123 pin. Winner and still Champ: Takeshi Morishima.
Doctors note 54: A lariat and backdrop driver after Peace put on the repo man mask at 5:25 was the difference here. I enjoyed the Rave match with Morishima but this one was slower paced, but allowed Morishima two different types of wrestlers as opponents.
Doctors note 55: "Are you ribbing me" Adam Pearce after going off the ropes for a shoulder block. "You can count faster monkey" – Pearce on the referree's slow count
Doctors note 56: Pearce got some offense in, like whipping Morishima into the guardrail, taking a bite out of Morishima's forehead and spitting it at the referee. He hit a nice suplex on Morishima and went up top and hit a legdrop for another near fall.
Doctors note 57: after the match Hagadorn got whipped into the ropes got the ass spot on his injured elbow and took a backdrop driver while landing on the bad shoulder.
11. ”Glory By Honor V: Night 2” Rematch: Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA. Danielson comes out, and everyone is singing “The Final Countdowwwwwwn” (keith note: the Europe version!!!). Dragon and Kenta are even thus far. Danielson is getting the crowd to pop for wristlocks and ab stretches. Kenta bitchslaps him. Danielson is doing his trademark inverted submission drops and nose pulls. Kenta knocks him down for another bitchslap. Stiff kicks - Bryan catches the third and turns Kenta inside out. Side choke straight out of MMA, but Kenta escapes. Two uppecuts and a suplex, 2 count for Bryan before Kenta kicks out. Danielson stomps right on Kenta’s ribs. Whoa - surfboard rolled to shoulders on mat, Bryan only gets 2 though. Kenta gives him an ace cutter off the ropes. Dueling chants - “Let’s go Dragon” and “Let’s go Ken-ta!” Bryan hits a big backbreaker but eats a boot charging the corner, then dropkicks Kenta when he comes off the ropes. Danielson charges the ropes and Kenta kicks him. Kenta gets back, Danielson suplexes him through the ropes to the concrete floor then throws him back in for 2.9. Danielson goes for rear naked choke. Kenta wont tap and gets to the ropes. Lefts and rights followed by cattle mutilation, but Kenta tries to get the ropes and does. Rolling near falls. They start suplexing the crap out of each other, get up groggy and slap each other awake. Mid-ring simultaneous moves and both men are down to a big R-O-H chant from the crowd. Cattle mutilation again! Crowd chants “Please don’t tap”. Kenta counters and suplexs Danielson on his head for 2. Danielson and Kenta on the top rope. Kenta comes down and runs across ring, powerbombs him into turnbuckle. Kenta escapes a pin and locks on some sort of sleeper, but I can’t see exactly. Bryan gets arm up before 3. Bryan hits a go-to-sleep, elbows him in the head repeatedly, and hits a dragon suplex but can still only get a 2 count. Dragon gets nailed by Kenta and pinned just like that out of nowhere! Winner: KENTA. Fans start chanting “Match of the Year” and “Thank You Ken-ta”. They shake hands to big applause from the crowd. Danielson and Kenta bow to each other, and the crowd chants “Please come back” for Kenta.
Doctors note 58: Wow. Match of the night with a tremendous finishing sequence, where Danielson had the elbows strikes to the head, Kenta tried to pick him up in a firemans carry, but whipped him into the ropes, and put him up again for another fireman's carry but Danielson blocked the go 2 sleep, hit a northern lights suplex, then the cattle mutilation, and the elbows to the face again. Then it happened, Kenta was able to pick Danielson up as he was being elbowed to the face and hit the go 2 sleep right in Danielson's neck for the win at 25:33. Amazing
Doctors note 59: lots of shoulder selling here by Danielson, I hope its just selling, also they slapped the living shit out of each other.
Doctors note 60: How fucking great is Bryan Danielson, he waited and built up saying the simple phrase "I have til five referee" until mid match and a huge pop. True he was a tease but this was great.
Doctors note 61: Danielson's ground stylings were more sadistic as he worked more like a doctor and an evil one at that on KENTA. I think he's trying to be more old school hooking wrestling with some MMA as well.
Doctors note 62 and the CRAZIEST SPOT OF THE NIGHT: Overhead belly to belly, Danielson to Kenta on the f*cking ring apron to the outside.
Doctors note 63: its 6am, I'm beat, no more notes, but excellent show and this PPV will be one to check out down the line.
1. Ernie Osiris & Chicago's Favorite Homeboy Sugarfoot Alex Payne vs. Mitch Franklin & Dingo. Big pop for Sugarfoot. Sugarfoot and Ernie win after Ernie does a backflip off the top and Sugarfoot covers for 3. BIG POP.
Doctors note 1: This was announced by birthday boy Adam Pearce I mean Adam Pearce playing the role behind the curtain of Gary Micheal Capetta as your PRE-SHOW MAIN EVENT and had a time limit of “TV time remaining.” Right after the bell rang, Capetta announced “five minutes gone by.” Hillarious stuf.
Doctors note 2: Sugarfoot was hugely over with the chicago crowd getting the streamers and the works, and more importantly the win. He also did a fabulous sugarfoot strut only to be met by DINGOS~! Fisherman buster suplex for two. But thankfully the Sugarfoot hit a BACKDROP DRIVER (Sugarshima?) and then the Osiris (who resembles IWA-MS star Sal Thomaselli) gut the swanton on Dingo as Sugarfoot got the pin in 4:33. Chicago, and I would like to think America celebrated as Osiris lifted Sugar foot up to the heavens.
Doctors note 3: Dingo, a man with the arm of Sabu tattooed on his back pointing to the sky and the words extreme written on it, is damn entreating to watch with some great manurisims
Belltime has officially changed to 7:35pm.
Doctors note 4: It ended up being 7:45 before the show started, the setup of the Fronteer Park Field house was different then usual ROH shows, a large bleacher was seen opposite the hard camera. About 800-850 were there-slightly down, although it was ok as:
a. this was the first ROH chicago show without any home grown Chicago talent like Colt Cabana or CM Punk (other then Adam Pearce who denonced Chicago pre-match)
b. PCW a local Chicago promotion had their annual dream night show AN ENTIRE MILE AWAY with Kurt Angle signing autographs
The show is offically underway! Dave Prazak is in the ring putting over ROH hard, there are streamers everywhere.
Doctors note 5: Prazak challened Paul Heyman here making sure everyone was going to drink the sweet ROH Kool aid (or Cool whip) and be hot for the show. This crowd didn’t need it but it might have been nice to new fans to hear about ROH’s (in prazak’s words) “pure completion with the best athletes” Prazak announced this show will be seen in 50 million holes “potentially” and wanted the crowd to “do Chicago proud”
Doctors note 6: Crowd was hot to start “our version of professional wrestling”
2. No Remorse Corps vs. Delirious/Erick Stevens/Matt Cross. Delirious and Stevens hit the ring, along with Davey Richards (doctors note: M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross) Delirious cuts a babbling promo. Stevens and Delirious chop the sh*t out of Romero and he flees. Crowd chants “Rooooooooderick” for Strong. Delirious does a flip off the top rope to the floor. Strong chops Delirious hard and does eyepoke. Romero does double footstomp. The No Remorse Corps gets the win.
Doctors note 7: awesome opener, fast and furious and never ever boring. Really great six man tag with everyone shining in this. A great final minute where everyone hit everything until Davey Richards (with long tights) hit Matt Cross with his DR Driver #1 (double underhook piledriver) for the pin in 11:27, short but there was so much going on here it was quite awesome and the crowd was quite excited for.
Doctors note 8: Austin Aries was in the bleachers wearing sunglasses and enjoying the show as a fan. His hair was long as he told me "I can't afford a haircut right now."
Doctors note 9: Stevens got the mic first and announced “6 man tag match right now.” Delirious (with a BEARD) cut his usual great coherent promo noting at the end “its time for a war”
Doctors note 10: the no remorse corps are a great stable and compliment each other well. there double teams including one where Roderick & Rocky hit a face first suplex, then Rocky and Davey hit their fallen opponent to hard kicks off the ropes to the chest and back of the guy, just awesome. Also Rocky (who did not do his awesome heelish dance tonight) and Roderick had an awesome double team where Roderick catapulted Rocky to the outside over his head.
Doctors note 11: Matt Cross was the star of the match getting some super near falls towards the end with his shooting star press, and his Death From Above corkscrew 450 splash. Stevens also looked good with his choo choo (godfathers old ho train) into the corner on all three guys, and a great TKO for a nearfall. One awesome spot saw Stevens hit an overhead suplex, and as the person got up they met Delirious’ shadows over hell, and then the 450.
Austin Aries comes out of the crowd and hits the ring, does a suicide dive. He cuts a promo saying he has a piece of paper which will free him from TNA and make him ROH full time. Everyone is throwing him pens. Aries says he’s back home where people respect this business. Aries puts over ROH as best product in the world. Big F*CK TNA chant from the crowd.
Doctors note 12: This was awesome (clap, clap, clap, clap). Good stuff with the contract and talking about sitting at home for two months and this peace of paper (holding up paper) is his WRESTLING FREEDOM~!
Doctors note 13: Aries, who showed great enthusiasm (more then he ever in TNA after they made him a Starr) on his promo and asked for a pen, maybe 12 pens were thrown in the ring. Aries signed the contract, then put the paper down in the ring. oops. He left for a minute then went back to give it to ROH President Cary Silkin and get a warm handshake and a great welcome back chant. Apparently he cannot work ROH until July though (maybe in time for the JAPAN shows as Aries is doing a tour of Dragon Gate)
3. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Matt Sydal. Claudio is making the crowd go “eyyyyyy” and do the wave. Delayed vertical suplex and “eyyyyy”, tornado spin release and “eyyyyyy”, gut wrench suplex for 2. Sydal sweeps the leg and does a running flip on Claudio to the outside. That starts competing “Let’s go Sydal” and “Let’s go Claudio” chants. Ton of near falls and standing shooting star presses by Sydal for 2. Claudio tosses Sydal in the air like a pizza - WOW! Sydal calls for the finish, does a head scissor. Claudio reverses in mid-flip and hooks the legs 123 for pin - f’n awesome match! Winner: Claudio Castagnoli.
Afterwards, Larry Sweeney & Chris Hero come out. Tank Toland and Bobby Dempsey are with them. Dempsey gets a “He’s on ster-oids” chant. Sweeney is trying to recruit Sydal, says he has a contract for him. Claudio takes the mic, tells Matt not to do it, that Sweeney is a scumbag. A “You’re a scumbag” chant follows. Claudio rips up the contract and starts to kick ass, but Sydal attacks him from behind. Hero stretches out Claudio. Sydal asks Sweeney if the contract promising a fruitful career was valid, and if so to print out another and he’ll join Sweet and Sour Inc. Sydal shakes all their hands and everyone leaves, except Claudio who’s still down and gets up slow. Big pop when he finally stands.
Doctors note 14: very fun wrestling match and a case of David and Goliath in wrestling where Goliath can work. Good finish of a hurricanrana with a rollup attempt only to see Claudio (with short hair and velvet tights which got a huge chant) roll thru in 8:48 for the win.
Doctors note 15: Claudio’s stuff with the eyyy and having people do the wave is quite comical. Good counter wrestling early as Sydal is flexible enough and Claudio is a very good worker so this was a fun match.
Doctors note 16: Claudio’s giant swing count, 26 rotations. Later on he called for his bicycle kick, only to have the crowd not care and Claduio do the motion for “so so.” So Claudio tired to do the kick only to have Matt block it and hit a dragon screw and a standing Shooting Sydal Press for two.
Doctors note 17: Ok, Sweet and Sour Inc is the greatest stable since Simon Diamond, Johnny Swinger, The Muskateer, Prodigy, Prodigette, Mitch. Bobby Dempsey was great in his space age track suit and doing jumping jacks and hindo squats.
Doctors note 18: two contract angles in a row??
Doctors note 19: The piece of paper said “Chicago Ridge Park District Fitness Forum”
Doctors note 20: Larry Sweeney is a fantastic talker and had a terrific pair of snakeskin books.
Doctors note 21: Sydal should be a great heel as Sweeney guides his “furitfull career.” After the beat down on Claudio (coudsey of the Hero’s Welcome/Handman’s clutch), Sydal told Sweeney to go to his mobile office and work out a deal. Sydal wanted “first classs, air, back home!”
4. Naomichi Marufuji vs. BJ Whitmer. Big streamers and pop for Marafuji, most streamers so far tonight. It is a great match. Both guys have whipped each other into every guardrail and stiffed each other in the ring, tons of near falls and reversals. Marafuji cleans Whitmer’s clock with a clothesline for near fall. BJ in tree of woe, Marafuji goes coast to coast with a face kick for 2 and a big pop. Marafuji comes off the ropes drills Whitmer’s head into the mat for 123 pin. Winner: Naomichi Marafuji. A slightly anti-climactic finish, but the crowd’s happy chanting for him, “Please come back, please come back.”
Doctors note 22: is it just me or was Marufuji looking very Kaz Hayashi like tonight?
Doctors note 23: finish saw Marufuji hit a superkick and then a Shiranui attempt, BJ stopped hit and hit a german suplex with release but Marufuji landed on his feet and then hit the superkick, Shiranui combo for the win in 13:17. Good but not blow away match.
Doctors note 24: Marufuji hit a very impressive powerbomb into armbar submission (rope break).
Doctors note 25: Becky Bayless afterward did a spot for the PPV by the bleachers crowd where she said towns ROH was coming to. It was there, and then it was over.
5. Pelle Primeau vs. Brent Albright. Pelle Primeau comes out with the Top of Class trophy. His opponent is Brent Albright in a hood. Stevie J takes a high-velocity streamer to the head from a fan trying to throw it into the ring. Albright puts Primeau in an armbar and makes him tap. Winner: Brent Albright.
Doctors note 26: Stevie J got 27 stitches from that streamer.
Doctors note 27: The top of the class trophy was not on the line and thus this probably angered Brent greatly.
Doctors note 28: Amazing squash. If they want to put over Brent as a MONSTER this was the match to do it in. 1:47 seconds. Brent hit a germen suplex, his half nelson german suplex (which got a chant of “please don’t die”), and then Brent went for the cover but lifted him him and hit a gorilla press, as Pelle (who was celebrating his 21st here) assended to the earth like the Space Shuttle from high in the sky, Albright got the crowbar on for the win. Fine fine squash.
6. ROH World Championship Match: Takeshi Morishima vs. Jimmy Rave. Morishima pounds the sh*t out of Rave. The crowd starts chanting, “Die Jimmy Die”. Then dueling chants start - “Let’s Go Jimmy” and ”Mo-ri-shi-ma”. Jimmy is thrown off the top rope, Morishima does a ”Joe-esque” senton on him. Rave is getting a lot of hope spots. Rave has Morishima in an ankle lock, but Shima gets to the ropes. Morishima kills Rave with a brain smashing suplex and gets the pin. Winner and still Champion: Takeshi Morishima. A quick, but largely good fun squash match.
Doctors note 29: Short (3:57) but really Rave got allot of offense in. Two squash matches in a row would make some people angry, to me, they were both fucking great squash matches.
Doctors note 30: Morishima was not wearing his fur or his cowboy hat, this made Bill Barlow co-host of the Dr. Keith Show (of which Jimmy was a guest this week and talked about facing Morishima down the line) quite sad.
Doctors note 31: Loud “die jimmy die” charts to start, but overall I think people were into this match and Jimmy trying to do anything to beat down Morishima. Including hitting a spear, a lariat, the knee to the face and trying the Pedigree / Greetings From Ghana only to get backdropped, but then turning it around into the heel hook. Morishima made the ropes then hit a sidewalk slam/lariat and a backdrop driver for the win.
Doctors note 32: Morishima was over with the crowd, as it takes some time to get used to him. He had a bloody nose and a fat lip after the match.
7. ROH World Tag Team Title Match: Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico. Let’s hope Mark doesn’t try to kill himself again this time! El Generico and Jay Briscoe to start. Steen tags in - he’s one chunky looking dude! Briscoes do double dropkicks on him in the corner. They’re building this slow and mostly letting the heels beat up the Briscoes. Briscoes starting to make a comeback on Generico, Mark in particular - and he tags in Jay. Steen does a flip over the ropes on Mark. Now they’re all outside the ring - but not able to see since everyone is standing. Someone was just thrown into crowd next to us, but still cant see who. Steen hits a powerbomb for 2. Generico does an amazing flip to the outside. Steen got a near fall off the top. Generico gets hit with Jay driller for 2.9, double team Jay driller for 3! Winners and still Champions: The Briscoes. Afterwards, Steen beats them up with a ladder. He starts getting “You fat f*ck” chants as they finish celebrating and start leaving the ring. The Briscoes recover and leave to a big pop.
Doctors note 33: Kevin Steen should have a headset mic on at all times so he can do commentary because his lines to his partner were quite great. "DO SOMETHING" "I told you so." His interaction with the crowd was just as great, as a fan noted "Steen sucks" and Steen shot back 'I Rule!" Then someone said "Kevin Steen stole my bike" that line was *****
Doctors note 34: there was a USA chant in this match. It seemed great but out of place as an ROH show.
Doctors note 35 and SECOND CRAZIEST SPOT OF THE NIGHT; on the outside, the Brothers Briscoe do a DOUBLE BEIL THROW of El Generico into the sixth or seventh row. Really, they told the fans to "get out the way" and as it was empty got him airborne, and he took it like he was jumping onto a bed. A minute later in the section next to him, Mark took a running awesome bomb from the floor into section B from Steen. Steen to the crowd before this "MOVE!"
Doctors note 36: Mark and Jay both hit shooting star presses off the guard rails to their respective men, thankfully there were matts on the floor just in case Mark gets bad aim once again.
Doctors note 37: El Generico is a great man. Fantastic wrestler. Wonderful human. Him and Steen "Steenerico" make a great team, one great double team with the Ole running big boot into the corner and Steen hitting a huge (and by huge I mean because he's a husky gentleman) swanton for two.
Doctors note 38: Steenerico had Jay set up for a package piledriver, Generico double team but Mark broke it up. Genericho hit a stunning tornado DDT, somehow Kevin Steen landed flat on a table and mark did spring to the top rope but did a double stomp on Steen. Then a DVD on Genericho and a double team springboard spike J-Drilla for the pin at 16:20. Very good match, but at the same time I feel they should have gotten more time, and I think these teams could face each other for quite a while.
Doctor's note 39: The ladder at the end either is a hint for a ladder match down the line (possibly at the next Chicago show?) or maybe Steen couldn't find a blowtorch or wee Irish lad under the ring to beat on the Briscoes with
The announcer just revealed that they’ll tape a 3rd PPV at this venue on Sept 15th!
Doctors note 40; in your face East COAST! Front row tickets were sold out before tonight's show even started
Intermission at 9:25pm.
8. SHIMMER Tag Match: Lacey & Rain (w/ Jimmy Jacobs) vs. Daizee Haze & MsChif. MsChif is hilarious - she keeps screaming and scaring her opponents. They’re trying like hell to keep Daizee from making a tag. She keeps screaming at the ref - this is so funny. Daizee finally gets the tag and keeps right on screaming. Lacey is distracting the ref and Daizee has to manhandle him to get him to count a near fall. Lacey & Rain double team MsChif for the pin. Winners: Lacey & Rain. Jimmy Jacobs poses with them afterwards.
Doctors note 40: Jimmy Jacobs is another great man, not only does he get a "you got laid" chant pre-match, but during the course of the match, he got to smoke a cigarette AND undress himself. By the end of the match, his shirt was totally unbuttoned. Plus after the match he had some great facials and some shifty eyes at Rain.
Doctors note 41: Lots of great beating down and selling on Daizee Haze here as she makes a great babyface in trouble and quite possibly a female Ricky Morton. She also had to sell having smoke blown in her face by Jimmy. Daizee then hit a baseball slide dropkick and Jimmy fell down on his ass. Lacey came in as a house of fire by yelling "don't touch him!!!"
Doctors note 42: Great whacky double team submission in this one
Doctors note 43: Finish came when MsChiff had Lacey in a bridge, and Jimmy used his cane to break up the pinfall, Lacey then put MsChiff in the double team unprettier as Rain held MsChiff's legs up at 8:41. Ok match. The selling of the Haze made this one fun.
9. Grudge Match (30 min time limit): Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero (w/Larry Sweeney, Tank Toland & Bobby Dempsey). Hero runs the ropes while he’s coming out, while Sweet and Sour Inc. do jumping jacks. More streamers for Nigel’s entrance. Hero feigns a handshake, and shakes Sweeney’s hand instead. Competing “Let’s go Nigel” and “F*ck you He-ro” chants start. Hero does his flips and knee drops for his own benefit and gets a “Holy sh*t” chant. Dueling handstands on the top rope. When hero does his, Nigel just pushes him off onto his team. Nigel chases the heels and Hero dropkicks him thru the ropes. Nigel sweeps
Hero’s face into the mat a few times but gets a boot to the face thru the ropes. Hero tries a crab, but Nigel gets a rope break. Nigel with chops on Hero. Hero stomps on Nigel’s head, but he gets up. Hero with chops, Nigel with uppercuts. Nigel gets the better of it and Hero is dazed. Nigel with a surprise short arm clothesline for 2.9 that pops the crowd. Hero set on the top, but he knocks Nigel off and nails a dropkick. Nigel and Hero outside, Nigel wipes him out on the barricade. Hero does the senshi stomp but only gets 2. Heels pull Nigel over the top and he chases them to the back. Top rope stretch slam face first to the mat and Nigel gets the pin. Winner: Nigel McGuinness. Hero sells like he’s out cold. Hero comes to quickly, rolls out out of the ring, and ref helps him to the back.
Doctors note 44: On coming down to the ring, Larry Sweeney punched me in the chest, its still stinging. He also called me an "asshole" just because I gave him thumbs down. He will pay! Oh yeah, Sweeney's snakeskin shoes were replaced by brown work boots here.
Doctors note 45: Bobby Cruise announced pre match that "Chris Hero or Bobby Dempsey has never taken steroids" Of course, where does that leave Larry Sweeney?
Doctors note 46: say what you will about ROH lacking the funny, but the stuff with Tank Tolland and Bobby Dempsey is quite fricking great. The only suggestion I would make is have Dempsey do crunches during the matches, or take notes.
Doctors note 47: excellent match with fantastic pacing, much better then their match as seen on VH1 on Mania Weekend. Could it be because no Johnny Fairplay, or because Bobby Dempsey >>> Johnny Fairplay.
Doctors note 48: Hero's gymnastic display to start was quite grand. 9.5.
Doctors note 49: Harsh war full of chops, some good counter wrestling, and stuff wonderful stiffness. Nigel's chest was quite red after the match.
Doctors note 50: Chris Hero was on the top rope for a move. He yelled at the top of his lungs "this is awesome" and hit a missle dropkick, he then did a second rope hero's welcome for two. Seriously, the this is awesome was in fact quite awesome And these two gave each other everything including a brutal Hero double stomp right on Nigel's chest, Nigel came back with a European uppercut attempt that hero ducked only to be lariated for.
Doctors note 51: Finish saw Nigel go for his Pendulum Lariat but as he was bouncing off the second and top ropes all three heels grabbed him, this brought out Claudio to run them all to the back. And then Nigel hit the TOWER OF LONDON n 18:23 for the win. Great pace fun finish. Hero & Sydal vs. Claudio & Nigel will be FUN!
Adam Pearce comes out after the match, wearing a Flair-like robe that says ”Scrap Iron”. The crowd starts a Repo Man chant. Pearce cuts a promo on Colt Cabana and heels on Chicago, his hometown. Morishima comes out, and the crowd chants “You f’d up” at Pearce. Announcer says that this has just been made into a World Title Match!
Doctors note 52: Shane Hagadorn his MAN SERVENT had his arm in a sling as he came out, Pearce called the fans "HALF HEADS~!" and asked for no REPO MAN chants. He put over his 29 birthday tomorrow, his match with Colt Cabana from the last Chicago show, and then said Chicago was no longer his hometown. He wanted a chump to beat on for his birthday…
Doctors note 53: Morishima came out with the belt in his mouth!!!
10. ROH World Championship Match: Takeshi Morishima vs. Adam Pearce. Pearce blows 2 shoulder tackles as shima doesn’t budge. He tells Shima -“Are you kidding? You hit the ropes.” Shima does and steamrolls him. Shima with a top rope dropkick. Pearce throws Shima out. More Repo Man chants. Pearce suplexes Shima back into the ring - impressive! Cross body off top misses. Shima sits down on a sunset flip and nearly gets 3. Pearce puts on a repo man mask! Big mistake - Shima goes on offense. Hagadorn tries a run in, but Morishima still gets the 123 pin. Winner and still Champ: Takeshi Morishima.
Doctors note 54: A lariat and backdrop driver after Peace put on the repo man mask at 5:25 was the difference here. I enjoyed the Rave match with Morishima but this one was slower paced, but allowed Morishima two different types of wrestlers as opponents.
Doctors note 55: "Are you ribbing me" Adam Pearce after going off the ropes for a shoulder block. "You can count faster monkey" – Pearce on the referree's slow count
Doctors note 56: Pearce got some offense in, like whipping Morishima into the guardrail, taking a bite out of Morishima's forehead and spitting it at the referee. He hit a nice suplex on Morishima and went up top and hit a legdrop for another near fall.
Doctors note 57: after the match Hagadorn got whipped into the ropes got the ass spot on his injured elbow and took a backdrop driver while landing on the bad shoulder.
11. ”Glory By Honor V: Night 2” Rematch: Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA. Danielson comes out, and everyone is singing “The Final Countdowwwwwwn” (keith note: the Europe version!!!). Dragon and Kenta are even thus far. Danielson is getting the crowd to pop for wristlocks and ab stretches. Kenta bitchslaps him. Danielson is doing his trademark inverted submission drops and nose pulls. Kenta knocks him down for another bitchslap. Stiff kicks - Bryan catches the third and turns Kenta inside out. Side choke straight out of MMA, but Kenta escapes. Two uppecuts and a suplex, 2 count for Bryan before Kenta kicks out. Danielson stomps right on Kenta’s ribs. Whoa - surfboard rolled to shoulders on mat, Bryan only gets 2 though. Kenta gives him an ace cutter off the ropes. Dueling chants - “Let’s go Dragon” and “Let’s go Ken-ta!” Bryan hits a big backbreaker but eats a boot charging the corner, then dropkicks Kenta when he comes off the ropes. Danielson charges the ropes and Kenta kicks him. Kenta gets back, Danielson suplexes him through the ropes to the concrete floor then throws him back in for 2.9. Danielson goes for rear naked choke. Kenta wont tap and gets to the ropes. Lefts and rights followed by cattle mutilation, but Kenta tries to get the ropes and does. Rolling near falls. They start suplexing the crap out of each other, get up groggy and slap each other awake. Mid-ring simultaneous moves and both men are down to a big R-O-H chant from the crowd. Cattle mutilation again! Crowd chants “Please don’t tap”. Kenta counters and suplexs Danielson on his head for 2. Danielson and Kenta on the top rope. Kenta comes down and runs across ring, powerbombs him into turnbuckle. Kenta escapes a pin and locks on some sort of sleeper, but I can’t see exactly. Bryan gets arm up before 3. Bryan hits a go-to-sleep, elbows him in the head repeatedly, and hits a dragon suplex but can still only get a 2 count. Dragon gets nailed by Kenta and pinned just like that out of nowhere! Winner: KENTA. Fans start chanting “Match of the Year” and “Thank You Ken-ta”. They shake hands to big applause from the crowd. Danielson and Kenta bow to each other, and the crowd chants “Please come back” for Kenta.
Doctors note 58: Wow. Match of the night with a tremendous finishing sequence, where Danielson had the elbows strikes to the head, Kenta tried to pick him up in a firemans carry, but whipped him into the ropes, and put him up again for another fireman's carry but Danielson blocked the go 2 sleep, hit a northern lights suplex, then the cattle mutilation, and the elbows to the face again. Then it happened, Kenta was able to pick Danielson up as he was being elbowed to the face and hit the go 2 sleep right in Danielson's neck for the win at 25:33. Amazing
Doctors note 59: lots of shoulder selling here by Danielson, I hope its just selling, also they slapped the living shit out of each other.
Doctors note 60: How fucking great is Bryan Danielson, he waited and built up saying the simple phrase "I have til five referee" until mid match and a huge pop. True he was a tease but this was great.
Doctors note 61: Danielson's ground stylings were more sadistic as he worked more like a doctor and an evil one at that on KENTA. I think he's trying to be more old school hooking wrestling with some MMA as well.
Doctors note 62 and the CRAZIEST SPOT OF THE NIGHT: Overhead belly to belly, Danielson to Kenta on the f*cking ring apron to the outside.
Doctors note 63: its 6am, I'm beat, no more notes, but excellent show and this PPV will be one to check out down the line.
