from PWInsider.com:

1.) There was a 6 man mayhem featuring students from the ROH school. I didn’t really know many of them and I have no idea who won. The match itself was rather bad.

2.) Chad Collyer def. Derek Dempsey via tap out. The match was ok overall. This was Chad’s next to last ROH show for a while as he is heading off to the UK to wrestle for a few months.


Main Show:


1.) Colt Cabana def. Jimmy Jacobs w/Lacey. This was mostly a comedy match overall. Colt was getting under Jimmy’s skin with comments at Lacey such as “Call Me” and such. Colt got the win over Jacobs with a standard Powerbomb. The match was ok. Nothing bad but nothing to exciting either.

After the match Jim Cornette and Ace Steel came out. Jim said he needed Colt’s help if any of those CZW hardcore wrestlers show up. Colt said no at first but then after the fans chanted Colt and Cornette persuaded him a bit he changed his mind and said yes.

2.) Irish Airborn def. Spud and Jay Fury. There wasn’t anything bad about this match but overall it just wasn’t anything special. Spud seemed very nervous to me and he did a botch a few moves. Irish Airborn got the win with some crazy combo move that honestly was way to convoluted to even try and explain.

Super Dragon from CZW came through a side door and beat up what I think was supposed to be a fan. He hit him with a chair, dumped him over the guard rail, and then ran away.

3.) Jimmy Rave vs. Delirious went to a 15 minute draw. This match was very boring IMO. Not a lot to say about it really. Maybe the worst match of the show overall.

BJ Whitmer came to the ring in a neck brace and called out CZW. None of them showed up. Whitmer left the ring and as he was walking to the back Claudio Castagnoli jumped the rail, attacked him from behind, and then ran away.

4.) Nigel McGuinness def. Christopher Daniels on a count out to retain the Pure title. This match started out real good and was on the road to being a fine match but the finish was awful. Both Nigel and Daniels were on the floor and In a Pure title match there is a 20 count. The ref. was at like 17 and Nigel tossed ROH photographer Mary Kate into Daniels and slid back in the ring right at the 20 count. The crowd hated the finish and IMO it killed the heat of the show a little bit.

Intermission: ROH returns to Dayton, Ohio on Friday July 28th 2006.

5.) Flash Flanagan def. Apocalypse. This was the second worst match of the show. I knew Flash from seeing him in IWA Puerto Rico but the other guy I have never seen or even heard of. Nothing about this was really bad but it had 0 crowd heat and was mostly just a simple standard match. Flanagan got the win a Ace Crusher.

6.) Bryan Danielson def. Jimmy Yang to retain the ROH World title. This was the second best match of the show to me. I knew Yang had no chance of winning going in but there were some good false finishes in it that had me going for a second. Danielson got the tap out win with the Cross Face Chicken Wing.

7.) Austin Aries and Roderick Strong def. Samoa Joe and Matt Sydal to retain the ROH Tag Team titles. This was by far match of the night and one of the best tag team matches I have ever seen live. Joe was amazingly over with the crowd in Dayton. This had tons of great false finishes and the crowd loves every second of it. Aries got the pin on Sydal following a 450 splash.

After the match Samoa Joe said he has one rule in Dayton and that is making sure someone gets the hell beat out of them. He said he failed in the match but refused to leave unsatisfied. He called out CZW for a fight. Necro Butcher hit the ring first and they went at it. Then out came Nate Webb and Super Dragon to make it 3 on 1. Colt Cabana , Ace Steel, and Adam Pearce then came in to make the save. It was then 4 on 3 until Claudio came in making it 4 on 4. Joe and Necro fought through the curtain and to the back but Necro came back to the ring after a while. They must have done something to Joe backstage because he did not return. BJ Whitmer then ran in and gave Necro one of the sickest steel chair shots I have ever seen in my life. The ref called for the bell making it an official match. This was a crazy brawl that went all over the place. Everything you can think of was used and done. Cabana was hit with a European Uppercut that by Claudio that knocked him off the apron and he went flying crashing through a table at ringside. The finish of the match came when Claudio pinned Whitmer with Samoa Joe’s own Muscle Buster. Previously before that Super Dragon put Whitmer’s head inside and chair and double stomped it from the top rope.

Overall the show was pretty good. I would have to say of the 12 live ROH events I have been to this was probably the worst one overall. The last 3 matches really saved the show in the end.

SOOOOOO glad I didn't go

Ugh..... what a shitty show. Who wants to go to a fucking RoH show to see a bunch of students and CZW talent?

People who like bad matches with rookies and CZW fans? :D

Shit, this actually looks like one of the more interesting shows in a while. Super Dragon was now involved, they did the throw in sort of main event. One thing I'll give CZW though is that at least they've involved the better members of their rosters.

Am I the only person who finds the Danielson/Nigel finish to be incredibly cheap?

Yeah, it's cheap.............but it was one of the finishes that they actually could have done considering who Nigel was facing. In other words..........don't have the match then.

Yeah.


And on a really really dumb note, DK, your uber-elipsies are really bothering me. Elipsies are three periods. That's all. I know I'm one to talk about horrible spelling, but grammar and punctuation always gets me. Just thought I'd get that out there. Please don't murder me.

It's his trademark...............

And yes, you did just invite DK's wrath. Enjoy.

It's my gimmick like WMD already said.

The murder stick is at home, so you'll be okay...............FOR NOW.

Honestly, the good spelling and grammar is usually saved for my screen writing. Not my message boarding.

You screen write? That is incredibly cool. Scripting is so much harder (at least for me) than straight up prose.

yeah, i'm currently writing a horror film that I hope to have filmed and everything in the next year or so. HOPEFULLY..........

Screenwriting is harder than prose for me too, but after you get into it.......you'll hate writing in any other way.

Good luck with that movie, dude. I've never tried writing a movie, but I was told that writing a comic script should include everything a movie script should, so I would think they're the same way. Suffice to say, I'm not very good at all.

Thanks. Hey, if you wanna do it, do it. I sucked horribly the first time I tried, but I kept to it. Hey, I wanna make films for a living..............so I had to choice.

If you ever decide to do it and need some help, I can definately recommend some books that helped me a great deal........or ask me, I might be able to help.

Thanks, I'd greatly appreciate it. My biggest problem, which sadly is unique to the comics medium, is that I can't break down a story into panel by panel shots. I just know how the scene is going to go and what happens, but I just can't see it in panel form.

Well if you can see what is going on from scene to scene, then you could do it. I know it sucks, but you have to break it down. It's like storyboards for a script (which unfortunately is my least favorite part about doing screenwriting) and they suck, but you HAVE to do them.
