BRM Reviews ROH Final Battle 2006

[Big Red Machine]

Final Battle 2006 (12/23/2006) New York, NY

FREAKIN AWESOME JIMMY JACOBS PROMO!

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL: El Generico vs. Davey Richards vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Christopher Daniels (w/Allison Danger)- 7.5/10. Great opener!
Danger is dressed like a girl scout, prompting chants of “WE WANT COOKIES!” *CLAP!*CLAP!* *CLAP!*CLAP!*CLAP!*

ADAM PEARCE (w/Shane Hagadorn) vs. RICKY REYES (w/Julius Smokes)- 4.75/10. Good aftermath with Pearce taking out Julius Smokes, leaving Homicide all alone for the main event.

COLT CABANA & BJ WHITMER(w/Daizee Haze)- vs. BRENT ALBRIGHT & JIMMY JACOBS- 6.75/10

THE BRISCOE BROTHERS vs. THE KINGS OF WRESTLING (w/Larry Sweeney)- 7.5/10. Good aftermath, storyline-wise.

NIGEL MCGUINNESS vs. JIMMY RAVE-7.5/10. I thought there were way too many false finishes here. I also didn’t like Nigel kicking out of Greetings From Ghana after 1.

DRAGON GATE RULES 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH: Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, & Delirious vs. Matt Sydal, Shingo, & CIMA- 9/10! Freaking COOL! Lots of great double teams and fast-paced action.

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Bryan Danielson(c) vs. Homicide-- if Homicide loses, he will quit ROH.
9/10! GREAT match. LOVED the story here, and every last nearfall was PERFECT. I loved the restart, too. Great booking by Gabe.


Overall, this was an extremely good show, with two matches at 9/10, and nothing bad at all. Definitely worth picking up if you can find it.
