ROH: Good, Bad, DUD

ROH 13th Anniversary

(2015/3/1)

Cedric Alexander vs. Matt Sydal

This match had a bunch of Michinoku Pro inspired moves with both guys doing an auto-pilot wrestling, there was very little cohesion or emotional depth here. Kind of like a Michael Bay movie. However, not all Michael Bay movies are terrible. Same with this match, when it’s all said and done it wasn’t bad, it was a decent little jumpfest, good enough for an opener.

**3/4

ACH vs. AJ Styles

Damn good match, AJ worked more of a heavyweight style in order to oppose to ACH’s highly athletic habits. The match built well, they had good sense for pacing and flow, it was organic despite being spotty. By the way, in the middle of the match Kevin Fucking Disgusting Kelly felt a need to discuss the ODB/Maria match. Yeah, that happened.

***3/4

Rocky Romero joins the commentary table and Kevin Kelly calls him an “all time great”. That’s pure gold right there. Amazing every time with the Bucks on offense doing their phenomenal thing, but at the same time incredibly dull and embarrassing every time with Kyle and Fish doing their godawful shitty thing, Jesus Christ they’re the worst tag team of all time, everything they touch turns into brown shit. They’re such party poopers and the energy goes down every time it’s their turn to run the pace. Fuck them, two boring drones, can’t believe they have fans. The Bucks, on the other hand, were incredible here and not only they saved the match from MMA geeks disaster, they even carried it to borderline greatness, they were innovative and full of charm, such a badass duo that always finds new ways to entertain.

***3/4

ROH World TV Championship: Alberto el Patron vs. Jay Lethal ©

Massive disappointment and big waste. They basically did a WWE/TNA style bullshit title match with all the interferences, dirty finish and shit. Such a shame because this pairing had a tremendous potential, which was evident in those tiny portions of the match when they were beating the shit out of each other. That was good but of course everything fell apart later in the match due to shitty booking. Fuck you, Ring of Shit!

4-WAY for ROH World Championship: Hanson vs. Tommaso Ciampa vs. Michael Elgin vs. Jay Briscoe ©

Everything about this was absolutely fucking terrible, legit one of the worst main events I’ve ever seen. Fuck this shit and fuck Ring of Shit. Michael Elgin is dirt worst. But hey, at least we’re probably going to see Joe against Jay Briscoe for the strap, so there is some light at the end of tunnel.

DUD
