It's said that Stevie Richards was spotted inside the building, likely there to watch. The show started a little late to allow more fans to get in the door. Crowd estimate at around 500.

PRE-SHOW:

1) Bobby Dempsey d. Alex Payne in about 2 min with a Death Valley Driver.

2) Handsome Johnny d. Kelly Primeau when Kelly came off the top rope, but Johnny countered with a spin kick and got the pin.

3) Lacey d. Allison Danger for ROHvideos.com with an Implant DDT in about 6 min. After the match, fans were offering Lacey money, which she took and promptly shredded.

MAIN SHOW:

1) Davey Richards d. Jimmy Rave in 18 min with a side-Jay Driller. Crowd was absolutely hot for this.

2) Top of the Class Trophy Match: Shane Hagadorn d. Derrick Dempsey via tapout with what looked like a headlock/crossface combination. Crowd excreted on the match, and started a "Students Suck!" chant afterwards. Rest of students came out afterwards to shake hands with one another, except Shane brushed them off to celebrate with his trophy.

3) Sara Del Ray d. Daizee Haze in 12 min when Sara had a Butterfly Submission on which she turned into a butterfly suplex and got the win. Danielson is on his way out to the ring with Sara remaining inside. He put over Sara as the best womens wrestler out there, then said he hated coming to CT and hopes ROH never returns.

4) Four Corner Survival For A World Title Shot: Colt Cabana d. Jason Blade, Adam Pearce, & Delirious when Colt had Blade in an abdominal stretch with a leg hooked around the head for a tapout. Completely out of nowhere as Delirious was climbing the ropes at the time.

5) Christopher Daniels d. BJ Whitmer in 16 minutes after Angels' Wings followed by Best Moonsault Ever. Good match, Daniels cut a promo afterwards(which I heard perfectly over the phone thanks to the tremendously awesome sound system-kudos again Cary!), inwhich he offered a rematch to BJ any time he wanted, then put BJ over for going all out in the fight against CZW. Said if BJ ever needed a partner, to just give him a call. Allison got on the mic, apologized to BJ for her actions against him in the past, hands were shaken, Prophecy sign was done. No actual announcement of a Prophecy reborn though.

6) Shingo Takagi d. Ricky Reyes in 6 min with a Torture Rack turned into a Sitout F5. Shingo got out of the Dragon Sleeper by going into the corner. Basically a squash for Shingo.

7) ROH World Title Match: Bryan Danielson d. Homicide in 26 min when Danielson reverses the Cop Killer and hits 'Cide with USB elbows to the head. Sinclair stopped the match right there. Pearce came out, and everyone pushed for more time. Cornette was called on the phone for a decision, and he stood with the ref's ruling. Homicide got pissed off, said "F this company" and left through the crowd, ECW chant starts up. Before the match Samoa Joe came out to the ring in street clothes. He got on the mic, saying he was there in support of Homicide. He offered Homicide a handshake when Danielson took the mic away and went on a rant. Phone reception was cutting in and out every couple of seconds so it was hard to hear what was being said. Joe said he was the guest ring announcer for the match, and introduced 'Cide and then "Your temporary Ring of Honor world champion..." Brian Danielson.

8) ROH Tag Team Title Match: Austin Aries & Roderick Strong d. Jay & Mark Briscoe in 18 minutes. A brawl for the first few minutes of the match before settling down, and was a good match as it was building up when Strong had Mark up for a powerbomb then Aries hit a missile dropkick to Mark as Roderick dropped for the powerbomb and got the pinfall to retain. After the match, Austin got on the mic to say that when Generation Next formed it was about taking all the top spots in ROH. Now with Jack and Sydal in Japan, and Roderick with himself having the tag titles, there is no need for Generation Next anymore.



-----------------

Looks pretty uninteresting, although I'm interested in where they're going with the Homicide stuff.

WOW, that was a rather underwhelming show.....

Sounds decent, but doesn't feature much that makes me wanna pursue it.

Hardest part about running montly shows, is the fans are so conditioned to getting a huge PPV like atmosphere, and that just isn't possible if you want to build any kind of hype for anything.

They really need some names on these shows. I realize that they have been raided by TNA and WWE ( and soon to be the new ECW), but they went from the indy with all the indy-dream matches, to...just another indy.

Sounds decent. I know this is a long, long shot, but anyone think Colt actually has a shot at winning the title? The guy has put over almost every RoH champion.

I don't think he has a legit shot. It's not like I think they wouldn't give him the title.........but he would have to be on a streak for a bit or actually get pushed consistantly though for people to buy it.

God, now they're Re-Hasing the Prophecy? Not even with new people, but BJ Whitmer again? Cripes. ROH has really lost me lately.

Ugh... you know, I haven't seen an interesting show since the Kobashi ones last fall and shows like this just further enforce my decision to give up on RoH for good.
