If you listen to wrestling experts, they tell you that ROH is not worth their time. It's not big time enough. I disagree. I saw WWE is not worth my time. They won't even let the best play by play man in the business do his thing.
Albert Einstein is quoted as saying "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." So I have shifted my focus to ROH Wrestling. I have watched a couple of their last PPV's and been watching all the episodes. I begin my reviews on this episode because the introductions are over and the action is picking up.
This episode starts off with a review of last weeks House of Truth vs American Wolves main event. Eddie Edwards uses a dragon sleeper in the match to help his partner Davey Richards get the win. The thing is, Eddie never used that move before. He has been training with someone new. Eddie and Davey will meet at Final Battle for the World Title. Eddie knows Davey inside and out. Does Davey know what other tricks Eddie has in his bag?
The main event for tonight will be a Team Richards Challenge. Davey Richards will fight his training partner Kyle O'Reilly.
Mike Mondo cuts his promo about how he is the biggest man in town. Well I say show me in the ring.
Alex Sylva vs Mike Mondo Both guys are 0-1 in the careers so they both need wins. They say Mondo follows the code of honor, but he doesn't seem to. He even shoots a snot rocket at his opponent. Winner: Mike Mondo via double arm DDT.
Jim Cornette announces he will make an official announcement next week about the Kevin Steen Lawsuit. Until then, he is denying pressuring of Steen into the career ending match or any other wrong doing.
Next Week Jay Lethal will face El Generico for the TV Title. Mike Bennett is taking exception to this he feels his time limit draw with Lethal earns a rematch.
Jamin Olivencia vs Mike Bennett w/ Brutal Bob Evans Before the match Bennett proclaims himself the TV Champion. Olivencia has a lot of energy. I like the way he is bouncing and flying around. Winner: Mike Bennett via modified rock bottom.
INSIDE RING OF HONOR
It has been reveiled that Eddie Edwards' new trainer is Dan "The Beast" Severn. This is an issue because Davey told Eddie earlier that he was gonna train with "The Beast". Davey is hurt by Eddie's betrayal of his trust. Next week they will interview Eddie and Dan Severn to see what they have to say.
The All Night Express are upset with their lack of attention. Every forgets about the ANX. The Briscoes then say at Final Battle they will be new tag champs. Coleman and Alexander, who had the first match last week against WGTT will face the Briscoes next week. They get a chance to cut a promo. We'll see what they can do next week vs Dem Boys.
Kyle O'Reilly vs Davey Richards Before the match, Davey said this isn't about hate. This is about American Strong Style. If Kyle can win, it would be huge for his career. If Davey can't win he isn't ready for Final Battle. Truth Martini come out to watch the match. Not sure what business he has ringside, but here he is. Truth is with the ringside commentators. He is saying if either Eddie or Davey joins the House of Truth, he can guarantee they would win at Final Battle. This is a very good match O'Reilly shows a lot in this match, but Davey is too much. One of their trainers throws in the towel when Kyle was trapped in ankle lock. Winner: Davey Richards
After the match Truth Martini gets in the ring and tells Richards how he could have done better in his match against O'Reilly. Davey and Kyle toss Martini around and thus ends this weeks episode.
This weeks episode was good. I am enjoying the nice build we are getting to Final Battle Friday, December 23. Next week Lethal vs El Generico.
