ROH Take No Prisoners 2009
ROH Take No Prisoners 2009 (4/4/2009)- Houston, TX
COLT CABANA vs. ACE STEEL- 3.5/10
Some eh comedy followed by some eh wrestling.
JIMMY JACOBS PROMO- fantastic
JAY BRISCOE, KEVIN STEEN, EL GENERICO & MAGNO vs. INCOGNITO & SWEET N’ SOUR INC. (Chris Hero & the American Wolves) (w/Shane Hagadorn)- 6.5/10
NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH: Necro Butcher vs. Jimmy Jacobs- 7.5/10
Great hardcore brawl
BRYAN DANIELSON PROMO- a great promo, but crappy lighting.
PRE-MATCH SEGMENT- Nigel comes out to say that he can’t wrestle tonight. Claudio perceives this as Nigel bailing on him so he attacks Nigel
THREE WAY MATCH WITH TAGS NEEDED: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Brent Albright vs. Blue Demon Jr.- 5.25/10
JERRY LYNN PROMO- awesome!
RODERICK STRONG vs. ALEX KOSLOV- 6.5/10
Good golly! Someone needs to call Joe McCarthy immediately and tell him that the corwd in Houston is chanting about how much they â€"love commiesâ€!
FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH FOR THE ROH WORLD TITLE: Jerry Lynn vs. Bryan Danielson vs. Erick Stevens vs. D’Lo Brown- 6.25/10
TYLER BLACK PROMO- okay
TYLER BLACK & KENTA vs. AUSTIN ARIES & KATSUHIKO NAKAJIMA- 8.5/10
Pure action
BONUS MATCHES: Bushwhacker Luke vs. Rhett Titus- 2/10
Barely even worth having on the DVD.
Overall, a very good show from ROH, but mostly on the strength of the main event. A lot of the other matches were slightly disappointing, and nothing particularly important to any angles happens, aside from Claudio attacking Nigel. Definitely a good watch (although very short by ROH standards), but entirely skippable, too.
