BRM Reviews ROH Fight Of The Century

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Fight Of The Century (8/5/2006)- Edison, NJ

SAMOA JOE & BRYAN DANIELSON PROMOS HYPING UP THE MAIN EVENT- GREAT!

COLT CABANA vs. SAL RINAURO (w/The Embassy)- 4/10

ROH TOP OF THE CLASS TROPHY MATCH: Shane Hagadorn(c) vs. Bobby Dempsey- No rating. Good segment. Hagadorn is a dirty cheater. This got GREAT heat.

ADAM PEARCE & BJ WHITMER SEGMENT- good.

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH: Jay Lethal vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Nigel McGuinness vs. Christopher Daniels (w/Allison Danger)- 6.75/10

ULTIMATE ENDURANCE MATCH FOR THE ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES: Austin Aries & Roderick Strong(c) vs. Irish Airborne vs. The Briscoe Brothers vs. Jack Evans & Matt Sydal- 7/10

AUSTIN ARIES PROMO- good

COLT CABANA & LACEY SEGMENT- very good segment and a great misdirection

STEVE CORINO & ADAM PEARCE vs. BJ WHITMER & HOMICIDE (w/Julius Smokes)- 6.5/10

KENTA vs. DAVEY RICHARDS- 8/10. Awesome.

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Bryan Danielson(c) vs. Samoa Joe- 8.75/10. An awesome match which told its story quite well. The major flaw with it was that there were very few points where it seemed that Joe might actually win, but part of that was due to Dragon dominating the offense because of Joe’s (kayfabe) injured leg.

Overall, a great show from ROH. The title match was slightly disappointing, but still an 8.75/10.

I thought for sure you'd give the main event at least a 9.5.

It told its story very well, but the nature of that story held back from things being exciting. It told its story very well... but in the same way that a squash tells its story well, but still isn't exciting.
