Indy Promotions Discussion Thread

[AberdeenSteve]

First topic message reminder :

Thought I'd create a thread for those who are interested in the Indy wrestling fed Ring of Honor to discuss or post any news referring to the company.

Probably won't be too busy on here but just thought i'd post a link to the ROH website to start some discussion.

http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/june-2nd-newswire-2/

It's been announced that the ROH Tag Titles will be defended at Best In The World 2011 by TWGTT against The Briscoes, The All Night Express AND The Kings of Wrestling in a Fatal Four Way Elimination match. That will be Tag Team wrestling at its finest.

I am also incredibly looking forward to the World Title bout between Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards. I can see Richard's stealing this one.

What are everyone elses thoughts?

[Fernando]

Eddie Edwards (c) vs. Davey Richards 9.999 /10 match of the year by far , emotional due to their history times where davey hesistated made it more intriguing as to weather in the the end he could actually go ahead and kick eddie after their faceoff towards the end. and unrelentless brutal classic of a match


Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) (c) vs. Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) vs. The All Night Express (Rhett Titus and Kenny King) vs. Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark)
9/10 many spots excellent match all the way through pace never dropped ending let it down though for me.


Christopher Daniels (c) (with Truth Martini) vs. El Generico
6/10 the worst match of the night for me, daniels do too much taunting and not enough wrestling and eventually paid for it.


Steve Corino (with Jimmy Jacobs) vs. Michael Elgin (with Truth Martini)
7/10 very much enjoyed this match alot of decent spots with elgin & martini and eventually kevin steen who return and left again after taking out jacobs and corino

Mike Bennett (with Brutal Bob) vs. Jay Lethal
7.5/10
very good match a bit 1 sided always knew lethal would win on return in his home town. very impressed by bennett though 1 for the future

Homicide vs. Rhino (with The Embassy)
8.5/10 brutal match , best shape rhino been in a long time , homicide was very impressive aswell

Colt Cabana vs. Tommaso Ciampa (with The Embassy)
7.5/10
solid match between the pair, ciampa looks quite a talent and has a bright future awesome powerbomb into backbreaker finisher aswell.

overall 9.3/10

very enjoyable from top to bottom definitely worth a watch for anyone who enjoys wrestling

[Dr Gregory House MD]

Sounds like an awesome night, will be interesing to see where they go with Richards as champion, personally I would have kept Edwards champ but im not going to turn my nose up at Richards run on top. Thanks for your play-by-play during the night, i couldn't afford the iPPV but this has got my mouth watering for when I can actually afford to see it

[AberdeenSteve]

I seriously hope that Tooze can find a link somewhere to watch this as this seemed an unbelievable show and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. Richards and Edwards seemed like a match of the year, like you said there would have been so much emotion.

I would have kept the strap on Edwards also but I am a huge Richards fan so I am very happy, the man is a phenomenal wrestler. Will be interesting to see who he faces at the next show.

[AberdeenSteve]

Oh, thanks for the commentary mate. I reckon you'll have a call from the 'E soon
