BRM Reviews ROH Survival of the Fittest 2011

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Survival of the Fittest 2011 (Dayton, OH)- 11/18/2011

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH: The Bravado Brothers vs. The Briscoes- 4.25/10
Good stuff post-match from the Briscoes, too.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH: Andy “Right Leg” Ridge vs. Kyle O’Reilly- 3.75/10
Not bad for the time it was given, but it wasn’t given much.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH: “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett vs. Eddie Edwards- 6.25/10

DAVEY & KYLE BACKSTAGE- good

THE EMBASSY PROMO- everyone was okay

ANX PROMOS- King was good. Rhett was decent.

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH: Adam Cole vs. Kenny King vs. Michael Elgin (w/Truth Martini) vs. Tommaso Ciampa (w/The Emabssy)- 7/10

EDDIE EDWARDS PROMO- okay.

JIMMY JACOBS PROMO- GREAT!

EL GENERICO vs. STEVE CORINO (w/Jimmy Jacobs)-6.75/10
Good story.

AFTERMATH- would have been better if Generico offered the handshake of his own accord, rather than having Cornette yell at him a bit first. It would have made Corino’s redemption more complete.

JACOBS & CORINO BACKSTAGE- awesome!

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH: Rhett Titus vs. Roderick Strong (w/Truth Martini)-7/10
GRRR! I hate Roddy & Truth SO MUCH right now.

DAVEY RICHARDS & JAY LETHAL vs. WRESTLING’S GREATEST TAG TEAM (Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin)- 7.75/10
GREAT sowing by everyone involved!

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST SIX MAN ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT FINALS- 875.10
A good story between these six guys, and the stuff with the final two was just plain amazing!

BONUS MATCH:
MATCH TO EARN A QUALIFYING MATCH IN SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 2011 (from Death before Dishonor IX): Grizzly Redwood vs. Andy "Right Leg" Ridge- 4.25/10

Overall, a great show from ROH, and a must-own for fans of both Michael Elgin and Kyle O’Reilly.
