ROH Honor Invades Boston (8/24/2002)- Wakefield, MA-

LOW KI PROMO- Good

AMAZING RED vs. QUIET STORM- 4.75/10. Super-spotty

THE S.A.T. & CHRIS DIVINE vs. SPECIAL K (Brian XL, Izzy, & Dixe) (w/Elax)- 5/10

LOW KI vs. CHIS DIVINE 3.75/10. Short.

DANIELS PROMO- good.

DUNN & MARCOS vs. THE CHRISTOPHER STREET CONNECTION (w/Allison Danger)- Good squash. It actually made CSC look dangerous, which was something they had been needing.

MIKE TOBIN vs. SCOOT ANDREWS- 2/10. Ultra-short. I’m not even sure why it was on this show.

SCCOT ANDREWS vs. XAVIER- 5/10

PAUL LONDON vs. MICHAEL SHANE (w/Bio-Hazard)- 6.75/10

SEGMENT WITH MICHAEL SHANE, RUDY BOY GONZALEZ, & SIMPLY LUSCIOUS- pretty good.

BRYAN DANIELSON vs. DONOVAN MORGAN- 6.25/10

AFTERMATH- eh. I’m really not surfe why everyone was so pissed at the referee.

DA HIT SQUAD PROMO- eh.

CARNAGE CREW PRE-TAPED PROMO- dumb.

BOSTON MASSACRE MATCH: Da Hit Squad vs. The Carnage Crew- 6.5/10

DON JUAN vs. BIO-HAZARD (w/Michael Shane)- 3.25/10 Ultra-short

NECW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Alex Arion(c) vs. Maverick Wild- 6/10

PRE-TAPE FROM LAST SHOW TO SET UP THE NEXT MATCH- good.

TONY MAMALUKE & JAMES MARITATO vs. THE NATURAL BORN SINNERS (Homicide & Boogalou)- 6.5/10

JAY BRISCOE vs. MARK BRISCOE- 8.5/10

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Low Ki(c) vs. AJ Styles- 8.25/10

MICHAEL SHANE PROMO- GREAT!

One more thing I must comment on: the announcing on this show is absolutely terrible. Just atrocious. Nothing stupid, but nothing insightful, either, and they don’t know anything about the moves or the wrestlers. Just terrible.

Overall, this show wasn't that good, and would have been a total dud without the top two matches. It was really just a bunch of short matches that didn't matter for anything until the top two matches on the card. The only matches really worth watching on this show are the London vs. Shane match, AJ vs. Low Ki, and Briscoe vs. Briscoe. A must-buy for Briscoe fans- skippable for everyone else.
