I'll be attending my second ROH event in four months on Friday. This time, however, Wrestlemaniac, my father, and grandfather, will be accompanying me to the event. One of the main reasons I decided to get tickets for this event was to see Kota Ibushi's ROH debut. I've seen a shit-load of Ibushi matches in both, DDT and NOAH, and he has really impressed me. Another match that I'm really looking forward to is the Last Man Standing match, as the last time Steen and Necro went at it, they truly impressed the shit out of me. I'd love to say that I'm looking forward to the ROH World Championship match, but I doubt that any of the challengers are going to take the belt off of McGuiness' waist. Regardless, I'll be rooting for Aries. I'll have my personal opinions and match ratings of the show, as soon as I get a chance to post them on Saturday. Not to mention, I'll also edit the topic title, as soon as I find out what the event has been named.

The card just got worse, due to Aries' absence.

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!

What happened with Aries? Did he pissed somebody off backstage or he got injured? |

Oh... that really sucks. I see Strong or Stevens getting the title shot given that Aries won't be there. I don't expect them to win the title, but I wouldn't mind Nigel losing the belt. Hope you enjoy the show, Kame. |

[size=1]Erick Stevens defeated Roderick Strong, El Generico, and Rocky Romero to earn an ROH World Championship match later in the show (***1/4) - Pretty good opener, which got the crowd on their feet. I was really hoping that Generico was going to win, so I felt pretty let down when Stevens got the win. Nothing against him, but I'm pretty sure that the crowd would've liked Generico/McGuinness better. Jason Blade defeated Mikey Bennett (*1/2) - This match wasn't even on the original card at first. As soon as the crowd heard the YRR's entrance music, they got pretty pissed off. Thankfully, the match was short. Eddie Edwards defeated Jigsaw (**1/2) - You know, I've never been a huge fan of Edwards, but the Boston crowd loved him. By the end of the match, I became a fan of him. During the match, Larry Sweeney came out and watched on, thus distracting Jigsaw and allowing Edwards to hit his finisher for the win. After the match, Sweeney congratulated Edwards and announced that he was the newest member of the Sweet 'n Sour Inc. Crowd went wild after they heard this. Jack Evans and Ruckus defeated the Briscoe Brothers (***1/4) - I'm pretty sure that my cousin thought this match was the best of the show, but only because he was familiar with Ruckus' and Evans' work from WSX. They got a "welcome back" chant, as Evans has been injured for the past month, and also, Ruckus was just recently in the hospital with pneumonia. Evans won the match after the 630 Splash on Mark. I was pretty pissed off that Gabe would think about putting the Vulture Squad over the Briscoes, but whatever. Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious, and Pelle Primeau defeated Chris Hero, Brent Albright, and Larry Sweeney in a tag-team elimination match (***1/2) - The match started off rather slow, but really caught pace during the later parts of the match. Shortly after Delirious and Primeau were eliminated, Claudio pinned Hero with the Ricola Bomb. Sweeney left Albright in the middle of the ring, making it a one-on-one bout. Albright and Claudio really made this match come together, as there were plenty of nearfalls. Claudio pinned Albright with the Ricola Bomb, as well, after several uppercuts couldn't finish him off. Just a tad bit long, but nevertheless, an excellent match. Davey Richards defeated Kota Ibushi (****1/4) - My favorite match of the night, easily. I'm probably rating this match way too high, but I don't care. Michael Nakazawa (for Ibushi) and Rocky Romero (for Richards) were at ringside, which added a pretty nice touch to the match, as well. Ibushi did some pretty amazing things, right in the beginning of the match, and gained a lot of people's respect by the end of the bout. Richards surprisingly made Ibushi tap to the Kimura Lock for the win. I really wanted Ibushi to take the cake, but there's nothing that I can to about it. Nigel McGuiness defeated Erick Stevens (***1/2) - Before the match, Roderick Strong attacked Stevens, which really wore him down. Nigel told Stevens that he understood that he couldn't write tonight, as he had to do the same, during his ROH World Championship reign. McGuiness then began dissing him, which made Stevens furious and they started up the match. I knew that I wouldn't find this match very interesting, as Stevens can be a pretty bland wrestler at times. Nigel won with an arm submission. Not a bad match, but it definately could've been better. Kevin Steen defeated Necro Butcher in a Boston Massacre match (** 3/4) - No doubt about it, this match didn't live up to its hype, which made many feel disappointed. Every time you thought there was going to be a spot, it got ruined. Towards the end of the match, things started to get good, but they cut the match far too early when Necro tapped to the Sharpshooter in barbwire. I really thought this was going to be an early MOTYC, but whatever. If I watch the match on DVD, maybe I'll change my mind.[/size] If Aries were to have wrestled last night, I'm pretty positive that this show could've been at least five times better. Lots of the exciting, original matches were made into tag-team matches. Then, they threw together some crap squash matches in the beginning of the show, which was really unnecessary. Why Danielson and the Age of the Fall weren't signed for this show is beyond me. Some of the key highlights of the show weren't in the ring, but instead, outside of it. I saw TNA president, Dixie Carter walking around, along with Michael Nakazawa and Kota Ibushi, up close, after the show was over. I would've definately stayed to get Ibushi's autograph if I was by myself, but my dad was in a real rush to get out of there. Also, I bought a Kevin Steen shirt. In conclusion, this show was no where near as good as "Proving Ground", but it was still pretty exciting. ROH will be returning to Boston in September, so I'm going to try and go to that show when they return, as well. |

Briscoes losing, and Hero losing and Ibushi losing really pisses me off. What was the point of bringing in Ibushin if you have him losing to a midcarder on ROH. Jay and Mark losing to a joke, the VS. Claudio beating three people at once what the hell is that, I love claudio but that makes Albright and Hero look awful. |

The only reasoning I see out of it is that Claudio will be pushed to another ROH World Championship match against Nigel McGuinness in the near-future. |
