Ring of Honor 11th Anniversary Review

The show starts with a recap of the Kevin Steen, Jay Lethal collision course. Here at the 11th Anniversary, Lethal will have his chance for revenge.

Six Man Mayhem

QT Marshall w/ RD Evans vs Adam  Page vs Silas Young vs "Rock & Roll" Mike Sydal vs ACH vs Tadarius Thomas

  • From watching this match, I can't help but wonder what ACH and Tadarius Thomas could do as a tag team. How could they blend their very different styles. Who knows.
  • The Crowd is hot for ACH.
  • Great opening match.
Winner ACH 

Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander vs S.C.U.M. (Steve Corino and "The Zombie Princess" Jimmy Jacobs)

  • Corino is great at being a heel, not that that is news to anyone. though.
  • As I would expect, this is another good match. 
  • Corino says they are coming.
Winner S.C.U.M. 

No Holds Barred

BJ Whitmer vs Charlie Haas
  • Haas tries to ambush BJ as he comes out to the ring. BJ was ready and sprayed beer into Haas' eyes.
  • BJ is punishing Haas. BJ is violent.
  • Cheeseburger come out to tell Haas hello during the match. 
  • Haas unleashes a series of knees to Haas' head and he wins.
Winner BJ Whitmer

Tag Team Dream Match

Forever Hooligans vs American Wolves
  • Alex Kozlov calls for the mic before the match and sings the National Russian anthem.
  • This might be my favorite match of the night. 
  • "Russian Leg Sweep."Caleb says. To which Kevin replied, "It's just a leg sweep for him."
  • This has to be a tag match of the year candidate.
Winners the American Wolves I am hoping to see the forever Hooligans in ROH much more often. Rocky chants ROH Forever as he leaves the ring. I can dream.

Intermission

2 out of 3 Falls

Roderick Strong vs Michael Elgin
  • Coming into this match, I expected this to be a classic. While it doesn't measure up to those high expectations  it was a great match. I think the first fall came to early and that took a little away for me. 
  • That being said these two work well together in the ring. 
  • I am a huge Elgin fan but Strong is just awesome in the ring.
Winner Michael Elgin

World Television Championship

Matt Taven vs Adam Cole
  • Matt Hardy is ringside doing commentary. He will face Adam Cole after this. He want to win the tv title.
  • Martini is in underwear. HOT has new music also.
  • This is a great match, as you should expect. 
  • Hardy is giving Taven no chance to win this match. 
Winner Matt Taven. Upset of the night. Everyone was in shock. from the crowd to Hardy and Selser. No one saw this coming. now Taven is the new World Television Champion. I don't know what he called his finisher but it is a nice one. He ask Matt Hardy "Who are you?"

redDRagon vs The Briscoes
  • Nigel comes out during the match. Matt Hardy is pissed he won't get a title shot the next night. But whoever wins will get a title shot.
  • The action in this one is great also. The Briscoes are always good. redDRagon is really showing me something though.
  • Mark is a joy to watch in the ring.
Winner redDRagon This is an upset but not as big as the TV title was. This is a great tag match.

ROH World Championship

Jay Lethal Vs Kevin Steen
  • Lethal refuses to observe the code of honor before the match
  • I don't like all the talking Steen and Corino do about Lethal's mother.
  • During the match Corino and Jacobs come out work Jay over while the ref is hurt.
  • Nigel comes out and chases Corino off
  • Lethal almost gets a 3 count on Steen, but the ref does a slow count from being hurt earlier.
Winner Kevin Steen

After the match Rhyno comes out and gores Lethal. Then the Briscoes come out to help. But S.C.U.M. Have the numbers. Out come Jimmy Rave he is S.C.U.M. BJ and Rhett come out to help ROH only Rhett has turned his back on honor as well. Elgin comes out to support ROH only to be answered by Cliff Compton who runs in from the crowd and is S.C.U.M. as well. Steen looks to be in shock. When Adam Cole comes out to help Matt Hardy follows and gives him a twist of fate. Hardy is also S.C.U.M. Steve Corino then comes out to say evil is here. Honor is dead.
