BRM Reviews the 5/2/2015 ROH
Posted: May 4th, '15, 12:46
WAR MACHINE vs. KILLER ELITE SQUAD (w/Michael Elgin)- 6/10
Large men hitting each other really hard and throwing each other around. Great stuff. The match goes to a double DQ when both teams refuse to make tags and just have all four guys running around the ring. Hooray for the rules!
They brawl after the match and Elgin also gets involved. Clearly we’ll need to have a rematch. HOORAY!
ROH TV TITLE MATCH: Jay Lethal(c) (w/the House of Truth) vs. Tommaso Ciampa- 7.75/10
Ciampa’s Cary-Tron screen effect is really cool.
This match is Ciampa’s last in ROH, and it is a fitting send-off: Some really good stuff, but also some utterly pointless no-selling.
POST-MATCH SEGMENT- a brilliant way to write Ciampa out. Nothing makes your stipulations and storyline threats feel more real than if you occasionally have those threats come to fruition.
A very good show from ROH. I just wish we had had more of a follow-up to the KRD stuff. Like maybe a promo or something.
