ROH SoCal Showdown
ROH SoCal Showdown (1/29/2010)- Los Angeles, CA
COLT CABANA & EL GENERICO vs. SCOTT LOST & SCORPIO SKY- 5.5/10
ANYTHING GOES MATCH: Necro Butcher vs. Erick Stevens- 4/10. They brawl for a bit, then Necro gets a win with a roll-up after Joey Ryan accidentally hits Stevens with a stop sign meant for Necro. Then the Embassy beats Necro down. This finish helped no one, and didn’t advance any sort of angle in any way.
PICK 6 SERIES MATCH: Roderick Strong(6) vs. Delirious- 7/10
PICK 6 SERIES MATCH: Tyler Black(5) vs. Joey Ryan- 7.5/10
JERRY LYNN vs. KENNY KING- 6.75/10. Joe Dombrowski saying that Lynn was playing possum seems WAY off to me. I am okay with the finish, but not crazy about it.
KEVIN STEEN PROMO- Great
PICK 6 SERIES MATCH: Kevin Steen(2) vs. Human Tornado- 7/10.
Prazak (right after Human Tornado hit House Party)- “How could the referee fall for that?! Has he not seen any previous Human Tornado matches?!”
JUSHIN “THUNDER” LIGER vs. AUSTIN ARIES- 8/10.
THE YOUNG BUCKS & THE BRISCOE BROTHERS vs. THE AMERICAN WOLVES & THE KINGS OF WRESTLING- 8.75/10
WRESTLE-REUNION BONUS MATCH: Scott Taylor vs. Larry Zbyszko with Johnny Fairplay as Special Guest Referee- DUD! Moronic waste of time that the fans (rightfully) crapped all over. Then Scottie went for the worm on Fairplay, but gets interrupted by a Bulldog from Cabana who then hits… well… you can’t really call it a worm, but it was an attempt at one on Scottie, the gives Fairplay a stinkface.
Overall, an awesome show from ROH, with nearly everything on the card being main event quality of better, and an absolutely awesome main event.
