ROH Revolution: USA
ROH Revolution: USA (5/6/2011)- Dearborn, MI
HOMICIDE vs. TOMOSSA CIAMPA (w/The Embassy)- 5.75/10.
Props to the cameraman for catching the Embassy's cheating, and great booking of this feud in a way that kept Ciampa winning but still managed to escalate the feud. Hilarious aftermath with some of Archibald Peck showing through R.D. Evans.
ANDY "RIGHT LEG" RIDGE vs. MICHAEL ELGIN (w/Truth Martini)- 4.75/10.
Made Elgin look like a monster while still letting Ridge get in enough offense to show what he can do.
STEVE CORINO PROMO- Was good until Mike Bennett showed up. Not that Bennett showing up was bad, but it derailed the promo to the "Pro Wrestling vs. Sports Entertainment" debate, which, IMO, is a made-up barrier for Vince haters.
GRIZZLY REDWOOD vs. MIKE BENNETT (w/"Brutal" Bob Evans)- 4.5/10
FIRST BLOOD MATCH: The Briscoe Brothers vs. The All Night Express- 6/10
It's not that this match wasn't exciting. It's just that the finish to this match illustrates EXACTLY why I think that First Blood matches are moronic.
COLT CABANA vs. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (w/Truth Martini)- 5.5./10
WRESTLING'S GREATEST TAG TEAM vs. ADAM COLE & KYLE O'REILLY- 7.25/10
NO DQ'S MATCH: EL GENERICO vs. RODERICK STRONG (w/Truth Martini)- 8.25/10
Awesome match!
THE AMERICAN WOLVES vs. THE KINGS OF WRESTLING (w/Shane Hagadorn & Sara Del Rey)- 8.5/10.
AWESOME match, but the crowd seemed to die towards the end. Good aftermath.
Overall, a pretty good show from ROH, with a great top of the card almost making up for a weak undercard. This show is good and is definitely worth picking up, but is definitely skippable if you are short on cash.
