BRM Reviews the 8/2/2014 ROH

[Big Red Machine]

GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD: BJ Whitmer (w/Adam Page & Tadarius Thomas) vs. Caprice Coleman vs. Matt Taven vs. the Romantic Touch vs. Jay Lethal (w/Truth Martini & Selezyia Sparx) vs. Cedric Alexander- 7.5/10
Giving this match the entire show really made it feel important.
Creative cheating by the decade, which I always appreciate. I really didn't like Jay Diesel interfering to cost Taven the match with Lethal. I think Truth and Selezyia leaving ringside, forcing Lethal to fight alone (just like he'll have to in the cage), and then having the lone Lethal lose to Taven does a better job of putting over the Taven's chances of winning their steel cage match (and the TV Title, and getting 5 minutes alone in the cage with Truth) at Field of Honor.


KAZ & DANIELS PROMO- decent, aside from the end. "you have permission to worship us now" is such a heel thing. Also, you can't say "whenx X happens, you'll have permission to worship us now." The timing in that sentence just doesn't make sense.

The commercials that start with guys like Elgin and the Briscoes throwing us to "a very important message from the law offices of Pulaski & Middleman" will never not make me laugh.
