BRM Reviews ROH Ring of Homicide

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Ring of Homicide (5/13/2006)- Edison, NJ

OPENING PROMOS- eh. Neither promo (one by BJ Whitmer and one by the Embassy) were particularly good, but they managed to not be bad, either.

COLT CABANA vs. KIKUTARO-4.25/10. Not as funny as it should have been with these two involved.

DUNN & MARCOS vs. HOMICIDE & RICKY REYES (w/Julius Smokes)- 4.5/10

JIMMY YANG vs. JIMMY RAVE (w/Prince Nana & Daizee Haze)- 5.5/10

ROH PURE TITLE MATCH: Nigel McGuinness(c) vs. Jay Lethal- 7/10

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Bryan Danielson(c) vs. Delirious- 7.75/10

GARY MICHAEL CAPETTA INTERVIEWS JULIUS SMOKES- good

MATT SYDAL vs. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS- 6.75/10

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Austin Aries & Roderick Strong(c) vs. The Briscoe Brothers- 8.25/10 I disliked this finish because it makes the Brsicoes look silly for not being able to remember who is the legal man, which is something ultra-important for a tag team to remember.

SAMOA JOE vs. NECRO BUTCHER- N/A GREAT segment. Awesome brawl!

NECRO BUTCHER vs. HOMICIDE- 8/10 AMAZING atmosphere in this bout! HATE chair riots because of how dumb and unsafe they are, so I have to give props to the cameraman here, as he really managed to capture the horror that (I assume) an innocent must feel being caught in the middle of one. And props to the Necro Butcher for just sitting there and taking it. He might not be that good a wrestler, but he is definitely the toughest SOB in wrestling.

Overall, this show is definitely overrated. Still a very good show, but not the legendary thing it has been hyped up as.
