BRM Reviews ROH Weekend of Thunder, Night 1 (LIGER!)

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Weekend of Thunder, Night 1 (11/5/2004)- Revere, MA

BRYAN DANIELSON PROMO- Good hype for the main event

ACE STEEL vs. JIMMY RAVE (w/The Embassy)- 6/10

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH: Fast Eddie vs. Dunn (w/Marcos) vs. Homicide (w/Ricky Reyes) vs. Angeldust (w/Special K)- 5.75/10. Apparently it is legal to use a chair while on the outside. Funny how that rule has only been explained to us in this match.’

ALLISON DANGER PROMO- she is absolutely nuts.

STREET FIGHT: Dan Maff & BJ Whitmer vs. The Carnage Crew- 6.5/10

CHAD COLLYER vs. LOW KI (w/Ricky Reyes)- 6.75/10

SAMOA JOE & JAY LETHAL vs. NIGEL MCGUINNESS & JOHN WALTERS- 7.25/10

MAFF & WHITMER PROMO- okay

DAVEY ANDREWS & SHANE HAGADORN vs. THE OUCAST KILLAZ (w/Prince Nana)- 4/10

CM PUNK vs. AUSTIN ARIES- 8/10 GREAT story!

ROH TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Ricky Reyes & Rocky Romero(c) (w/Homicide) vs. Jack Evans & Roderick Strong- 7/10.

JUSHIN “THUNDER” LIGER vs. BRYAN DANIELSON- 8/10 Dragon's black hooded and entrance rope looked a lot like a cape. Combine that with Dragon's pasty-white skin, and then Liger's outfit, it occurs to me that, to the uninitiated, this match looks a lot like a vampire vs. a power ranger. Anyway, this was an awesome match, and definitely did have the dream match feel to it, good stuff from both men, and Danielson definitely looked like he belonged in there with Liger (sorry guys, I tried really hard, but I just couldn't find the appropriate place to make a "Count Dragula" joke).

Overall, this was a great show, with JUSHIN FREAKIN’ LIGER on it! What part of that did you not understand? GO BUY IT NOW!
