ROH Supercard of Honor II
ROH Supercard of Honor II (3/31/2007)- Detroit, MI
JIMMY JACOBS PROMO- AWESOME! And to think that this was the WORST promo he cut that weekend.
OPENING SEGMENT- GREAT!
JAY BRISCOE & DELIRIOS vs. MATT SYDAL & CHRISTOPHER DANIELS- 7/10 Great opener!
BJ WHITMER PROMO- eh.
CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI vs. YAMATO- 4.5/10
ERICK STEVENS vs. MITCH FRANKLIN- PERFECT squash!
Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero (w/Larry Sweeney & Johnny Fairplay)- 5.5/10. At least Fairplay got what was coming to him, and it was fun hearing the announcers (& Gabe, too) dis him by saying that it was worse having him than other infamous visitors in ROH history (“He’s worse than Jeff Hardy.” “He’s worse than ICP!” “He’s worse than that Canadian guy throwing up all over the place”).
JACK EVANS & NARUKI DOI vs. DAVEY RICHARDS & ROCKY ROMERO- 8/10. CRAZY!
BRENT ALBRIGHT vs. HOMICIDE- No rating, because it transformed quickly into…
HOMICIDE & COLT CABANA vs. BRENT ALBRIGHT & ADAM PEARCE (w/Jim Cornette)- 6/10, and fun towards the end. I liked having Cabana and Homicide show that they have retained their mutual respect by teaming one year after they ended their feud.
STEEL CAGE MATCH: BJ Whitmer (w/Daizee Haze) vs. Jimmy Jacobs (w/Lacey)- 10/10! This was amazing. One of the most brutal matches I have ever seen. One thing that they did that put this over the top for me was the lack of pinfall attempts. This match was about hate, and they remembered that.
FIP WORLD TITLE MATCH: Roderick Strong(c) vs. Austin Aries- 8.25/10. AWESOME match!
DRAGON GATE RULES MATCH: CIMA, Shingo, & Sosumo Yokosuka vs. Dragon Kid, Ryo Saito, & Masaaki Mochizuki- 9/10. Typical Dragon Gate spottiness, but with a lot more storytelling than usual.
JIMMY-LACEY STUFF AT THE END- good.
Overall an awesome show from ROH with a PERFECT blow-off to an amazing feud.
