MATCHES
Primo defeated Smash Bradley with a sunset flip.
Bobby Dempsey defeated Eric Adamson with the Spicolli driver.
Patrick Dempsey defeated Shane Hagadorn with some sort of lung blower variation.
B.J. Whitmer defeated Davey Andrews with the wrist clutch exploder. Lacey continued telling Whitmer to deliver the beating, and Andrews took several exploders before Whitmer pinned him.
"Double C" Claudio Castagnoli defeated Sterling Keenan with a pyramid bomb. Claudio hit a nice death valley driver. Good comedy spots as well and to everyone's surprise, Claudio was way over.
Jay Lethal defeated Jimmy Jacobs with a dragon suplex right on top of his head. Good back and fourth match with Lacey doing her thing on the outside.
Nigel McGuinness comes out bashing Buffalo sports teams and the "Buffalo Bulls". Talks about Joe in the roll of Shrek 3. Nigel says he is the special attraction and something else about Joe.
Nigel McGuinness defeated Samoa Joe to retain the ROH Pure Title. Joe lost all 3 rope breaks in less than a minute. Joe missed an ole' kick, and was almost counted out, but got back in the ring at 19. Joe reversed the ace crusher into a choke. Nigel was able to push up on the ropes in the choke and pin Joe for the win.
The Embassy of Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley, and Abyss defeated Generation Next of Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, and Jack Evans in an absolutely INSANE no dq match. There were some batting cages at the building as Jack Evans hit a 630 off them onto Abyss through a table. Shelley hit a variation of the shell shock on Roderick through two tables side by side. The finish came when there was a ladder on top of Rave, Aries missed the 450 and hit the ladder. Nana and Rave covered Aries on top of the ladder and got the pinfall.
Tony Mamaluke and Sal Rinauro defeated The Rottweilers of Homicide and Ricky Reyes to retain the ROH tag team titles. Finish came when Rinauro hit a springboard cross body off the rope on Reyes. Supreme said it was a disappointing finish, and the crowd seemed to be anticipating more, but it was a good match.
Low-Ki defeated Colt Cabana. Homicide was talking smack to Colt before the match and Low-Ki jumped him from behind. Really good match. The finish came after a brutal ghetto stomp.
"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson defeated Steve Corino via submission to retain the ROH world heavyweight title. A couple of close near falls toward the end. Corino was able to escape the cattle mutilation a couple of times. Danielson won with a chicken wing crossface. Pretty good match.
