RESULTS
Preshow
1) Ernie Osiris, Kyle Durden & Alex Payne defeat Rocky Fontaine, Ninja White & Ninja Yellow. Ninjas went Mark Briscoe on Osiris and Payne's asses. Kung Fu double teams. Crowd was really hot for this, chanting "Go ninja go!"
2) D-Ray 3000 defeats Shane Hollister in a glorified squash.
Main Show
~ROH returns to Detroit January 30th.
~Age Of The Fall are out to open the show. Jimmy Jacobs and his red bangs & mohawk says that the Age of the Fall have all the power, and with that they refuse to defend the belts tonight on PPV. Briscoes hit the ring and clean house. Age of the Fall try to bail but Aries attacks them!
1) Jay & Mark Briscoe squash Mitch Franklin to defeat he & Silas Young with the Doomsday Device.
2) Erick Stevens defeats Ruckus, Delirious, & Shane Hagadorn with a Doctor Bomb on Hagadorn.
~Aries is out with a mic. He calls out Jimmy Jacobs and Jimmy Jacobs alone. He's attacked by Tyler Black and Mischif. Jimmy then does come out and attacks Aries with a large HOOK! A large portion of the locker room come out to break it up. In the midst of this, Steen gets a mic and demands a title shot for he and El Generico. Jacobs says Steen has to earn it. Steen challenges Jimmy but gets attacked by Necro.
3) Kevin Steen defeats Necro Butcher in an awesome brawl with a Package Piledriver.
4) ROH World Championship: Nigel McGuinness defeats Claudio Castagnoli with a Rebound Lariat to retain the gold in a match that was described as much better than their Hammerstein encounter.
~INTERMISSION~
~Long intermission tonight. Lance Storm STILL has a huge line of people for him and Bushwacker Luke appears quite drunk. Fun night!
5) Silas Young pulling double duty tonight defeats Kenny Omega with a moonsault. Omega looked awesome and the match was very good. Both men got a standing ovation and Omega got the "please come back" treatment.
6) Roderick Strong & Naomichi Marufuji defeat Chris Hero & Go Shiozaki when Strong pins Hero. Prior to the match, Sweeney offers Marufuji a spot in SNS Inc. Marufuji shoots Sweeney the finger! SNS Inc. attempts to bail, but they're cut off by Lance Storm! Hmm, think he might be over? He puts over ROH big time, and says that tonight he is the special ringside enforcer to keep Sweeney in line!
Fuji was over like god, Strong looked kinda sloppy. Crowd popped more for the chops than anything.
After the match Storm raises Strong's hand only to get jumped from behind. Storm locks Sweeney in the Canadian Maple Leaf. He's blasted from behind by Hero. Sweeney cuts a short promo and leaves. Storm gets a standing ovation and "one more match" chants as he gets back up.
7) Bryan Danielson defeats Tyler Black.
~Aries has jumped Jimmy Jacobs and they are beating the hell out of each other. Think Strong/Stevens from Supercard. The brawl has now headed in to the crowd! Aries is now bleeding. They've taken the fight to the autograph table! A twenty foot ladder is now being brought in to play. They've fought to the top of the ladder. Fans are chanting "PLEASE DON'T DIE!" Necro is out with a chair! Both Aries and Jacobs are telling him to hit the other with it. Necro throws down the chair in frustration and bolts! All of a sudden, Necro returns and shoves the ladder over sending BOTH men down through two tables! Necro turns back around and shoves the ladder over sending BOTH of them through two tables. Necro says that he doesn't need either of them, and walks away leaving them in a pile of broken tables.
