BRM Reviews ROH Tag Title Classic II

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Tag Title Classic II (12/17/2010)- Plymouth, MA

ADAM COLE vs. KENNY KING- 6/10

COLT CABANA vs. MIKE BENNETT (w/”Brutal” Bob Evans)- 6/10

ANDY “RIGHT LEG” RIDGE PROMO- okay

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS vs. ANDY “RIGHT LEG” RIDGE- 6/10

THE BRISCOE BROTHERS vs. KEVIN STEEN & STEVE CORINO- 6.25/10

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH: Rhett Titus vs. Grizzly Redwood vs. Ricky Reyes vs. El Generico- 6/10

AFTERMATH- On the “Gabe’s Book of ROH Secrets” DVD, Gabe said that it is great booking to put subtle little things in that a fan who is rewatching the DVDs can point to and say “Oh. That little thing is the true start of that angle.” This is that moment for the angle of Steve Corino’s redemption. An awesome segment, in hindsight.

TJ PERKINS vs. KYLE O’REILLY- 7.25/10. Great match, but also extremely different from most of the matches you see in wrestling nowadays. It is hard to describe. You just have to get the DVD to see it.

SONJAY DUTT vs. RODERICK STRONG (w/Truth Martini)- 7/10.

ROH has had, by my count, eleven matches in its history that have been so awesome that they named the show as a whole after just that match (not counting shows already named going in, like Steel Cage Warfare, or the various annual tournament shows): The three Epic Encounters, World Title Classic, Joe vs. Punk II, Joe vs. Kobashi, Aries vs. Richards, Richards vs. Daniels, Champions vs. All-Stars, Tag Title Classic, and this match: Tag Title Classic II-

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli)(c) (w/Shane Hagadorn & Sara Del Rey) vs. The American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards)- 9.25/10. An OUTSTANDING match that lives up to the hype.

Overall, this show wasn’t amazing, but was definitely worth buying for the main event and for the O’Reilly vs. TJP match.
