Hmmm this statement about Angle is kinda classy, I liked it.

Still should have wrote him off but this was a decent substitute.
 
It was obvious that Tito was A&8's. Bully once again the champ and i see a showdown with AJ Styles on the horizon. The women put on another good match

oh okay, I record TNA, as I do with WWE, but I haven't watched the last two Impacts. Didn't know they had another show.

Is that on Spike as well?

The Era of Honor Begins- Philadelphia, PA 2/23/02

- First we get a promo video showing us just who's going to be there. There's a couple of gays (Christopher Street Connection, some fat afroamerican dudes, Jay Briscoe's awful facial hair, a child, AC Slater, the black nature boy (Thats his gimmick) if nature boy is someone who's really bland and boring but is just so happy to be here, not those Boogie Knights (two white dudes from Brooklyn), Boogalou's chainsaw, Mikey Whipwreck, some spot monkeys, Prince Nana, a jobber, Steve Corino, Spanky and some of those who trained with him in Texas, Super Crazy and Eddie Guerrero, American Dragon Bryan Danielson, Low Ki's angry face and of course the Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels

Da Hit Squad say no to sports entertainment and then beat up the Christopher Street Connection

- Okay, despite one of them probably being a pedophile (Dan Maff) and the other one being Monsta Mack, Da Hit Squad are very good at getting people fired up. As far as the ring goes, they're not very good and suffer from the Low Ki syndrome of being stiff for the sake of being stiff motherf**kers

- Christopher Saint Connection were (erm and always will be) awful. The promo starts with them talking about how ROH translates to Ring of Homoes oh well....

- Here comes a pissed off Da Hit Squad and they are really, really pissed. Mafia hits an awesome German Suplex and also flattens Mace with a running senton. It's the following beatdown is kind of brutal, but still it's kinda fun in a 'boy I hope this doesn't last more than two minutes' sort of way.

- And that's alright because it doesn't. One of the fags gets a burning hammer and thats it. Oh and Allison Danger gets dropped on her head as DHS tries to drop her on top of one of the CSC guys on a table.

- So Jay Briscoe is wrestling solo for no other reason than Mark Briscoe isn't actually old enough to compete according to the state commision (didnt know they had such things in Philly wrestlingwise). Jay look awfully young, younger than me (and i was 15-16 around this time) and he has an awful looking beard if you can even call it that

- Lots of movez~ follows including a nasty looking musclebuster like move. Not a whole lot of psychology in this one folks. Red wins after nailing the red alert and the red star press.

PROMO TIME

- Low Ki wants people to know that he's going to win. His voice seriously never fit a guy like him.

- Homicide on the other hand is excellent and I could listen to him speak for hours. 'MY MOMS USED TA COOK ME SOME CHICKENS AND NOW I'M PISSED'. The whole promo is about how Homicide and his friend from the dirty south are going to wear masks for some reason or other. The promo's not great but Homicide is. Homicide is magical.

- Then we get Xavier telling someone that it's alright and that's just what the wrestling biz is like and I'm not sure what or why this happened, the guy he is talking to looks like a jobber for real.

- Finally Scoot Andrews and it is GREAT to be here. Seriously, for a guy who calls himself the Black Nature Boy he's the blandest bland blander in the world ever. He also looks about twenty years older than he probably is. And wears a Jacksonville Jaguars cap, but back then that team was decent.

- Actually, that's not entirely fair. There's a pretty cool spot where Xavier goes for a leg scissors and Scoot just flat out dumps him on his big stupid face. Also later on Xavier goes for a bulldog and Scoot just throws an awesomely stiff lariat. If Scoot had even the slightest hint of personality he'd probably have been way more interesting because he's definitely the best wrestler we've seen so far (although that's really not saying much) but he's just so bland.

- Xavier on the other hand is just pretty awful and I really wish I could describe it. I mean, it's not like he's outright bad at anything, he's just not very good at anything either. Jack of all trades and a master of fuck all.

- Okay, what annoys me most about early ROH is that for some reason it seems like everyone's gotta hit their finisher at least once a match because it seems like that's the only way they can build suspense and it's ridiculous. A finisher should be just that, it shouldn't be a transition. Espeically in a match like this where Scoot hits his finisher (which is a badass looking sitout pumphandle piledriver) and then loses to a neckbreaker. It makes Scoot and his finisher look weak but doesn't make Xavier look any stronger.

- Homicide and Boogalou's gimmick, right, let's see if I can explain this. They wear orange jumpsuits but they've not been in prison. They wear masks but they're not going to keep them on. They have a chainsaw and I don't feel I should need to explain why that's stupid and they also have a rubber chicken because of something to do with Homicide's hometown or something. Yeah, Ring of Honor is not gimmicked at all.

- And speaking of not having gimmicks, this match is being officiated by HC Loc who is hardcore for some reason. As far as I'm aware Loc never officiates in ROH again and his only purpose here is to DQ Homicide and Boogalou for -and I am not making this up- excessive use of a rubber chicken as a weapon. Then they beat him up because they're angry about that. All the while the chainsaw just sits at ringside and they never actually kill anyone. Pffft, they call themselves heels.

- I totally forgot to mention the Boogie Knights and that's because they're rubbish. They do have Joe Esposito's 'You're The Best!' (from Karate Kid) as their theme though and that's amazing-ly stupid

- Oh i forgot, Homicide takes out some of the crowd during a dive

- So Mace tells Buff E that they don't belong in ROH and Spanky dances behind them. Buff E clearly wants a piece of dat ass and tells Mace they do belong and then he pretends that he's getting a blow job -sigh-

- Oh and the towel boy runs around the ring and wipes the ropes dry AND THE CROWD GO WILD. Seriously, biggest reaction of the night.

- Mikey Whipwreck is the special referee here because I think he trained some of the guys. It's Jose Maximo, Joel Maximo, Quiet Storm (and he doesnt know Mobb Deep), Chris Divine, Brian XL and, oh, yeah, Amazing Red is wrestling again for no other reason then he can, it's not like he's received a muscle buster and a Jay driller twenty minutes ago.

- The following spotfest has plenty of dives but not a whole lot of other stuff. For some reason the people that got dived on by homicide havent had their fill, so practically everybody does dives to the floor at that same part of the arena.
 
After Prince Nana squashes the towel boy we move on to a tag team match of people from the Shawn Michaels school

Two of the wrestlers involved are Spanky (who is quite awesome) and Michael Shane/Matt Bentley (who personifies the word MEH). The two other dudes are god awful. Considering who trained alongside Spanky (Paul London and Hernandez to mention two) its quite amazing that they found two wrestlers this awful. Spanky wins and dances around to Christina Aguilera

- So Mikey can't communicate with any of the spot monkeys because only four of them speak English even though the SAT also speak English and also he trained them all so this opens up so, so many questions and yet I really don't care about the answer.

- Oh and HC Loc is on the phone to someone and he's angry because he's a referee and he got beaten up by Homicide and his partner

- Super Crazy vs Eddie Guerrero is what it is. For some reason i cant get past Eddies awful mullet from that era. DAMN! and thats a Ron Simmons DAMN!

- The match isnt bad by any means, but its Eddie rebounding from his WWF firing in 2001 and Super Crazy being Super Crazy really. One thing that is cool about the match is how awesome Eddie was at being that dickhead of a heel.

- Holy shit does Low Ki kick people a lot!

- How it took Danielson forever to get into the WWE, is beyond me. Dude is on fire here in 2002 at age 20!

- And now I've lost count of the amount of times Low Ki has thrown a stupidly stiff boot. I'm not lying when I say it's already about 15ish. It's ridiculous.

- Daniels. Daniels for me is like a better version of Xavier. He's not bad at anything but he's not particularly great at anything ever. He's above average and I think that's the nicest thing I could say about the guy. There's a reason he's never been a main event draw as a singles performer and that's because he's just borderline at everything.

- Amazing amazing amazing spot with Dragon holding on a leg lock on Daniels and then hitting a northern lights suplex on Low Ki at the same time. What a wonderful man. Also Daniels hits a combination neckbreaker/DDT. Moves.....

-Low Ki just kicked someone but it's alright because he's doing that tree of woe dragon sleeper thing which is always awesome.

- Daniels hits a back suplex on Danielson on the second rope whilst Danielson hits a superplex on Low Ki. I always love those spots, they always look sloppy but in the most badass way possible.

- Christopher Daniels does a better moonsault than Kurt Angle in his prime. I'm just putting that out there and I hope you all agree. If you don't you're straight up wrong.

- Also as much as I love the LeBell Lock for Danielson the Cattle Mutilation is a thousand thousand times cooler and Low Ki just hit a huge phoenix splash on Danielson whilst Daniels was in the hold. Match ends with Low Ki hitting a Ki Krusher on Daniels about ten seconds later

- American Dragon didn't get pinned so he's got some bragging rights and he's challenging Low Ki and Daniels wants in too because he can beat them both in singles matches so we're getting round robin next month Daniels finishes the evening by blowing Danielson and Ki off when they want to shake hands.

Fuckin hilarious write ups.

It's like I'm sittin next to a drunk smark at the bar

In all fairness, im straight edge for the past ten years+. Some of it is just stuff of the top of my head while i watched the show. Im sure others have made similar posts on other forums. Im having fun doing it. And ROH in the beginning wasnt all that great apart from the Ki/Daniels/Dragon matches
 
03/30/2002 - Round Robin Challenge

- We open up with Christopher Daniels putting ROH on BLAST by saying that they dont stand out from any other indy.

- Da Hit Squad riles Boston and NYC fans up outside. I honestly rater have these dudes as hype men than wrestlers. One part chant NYC, the other chants "Sucks" and so on

- Daniels vs Danielson is the first match. I said it before and i say it again, Danielson at age 20 was GOAT, great technical stuff. Danielson even busts out the LeBell Lock during the match. Daniels win with a move that looks like a crossface. Already the show is better than the first. Its a slow match, but considering that both have to be in the ring another time during the night, i can go with it.

- In a promo, CW Anderson needs a tag team partner for his match against Christian York and Joey Matthews. Because there is not handicap matches in ROH, he then picks one of the ring guys to help him.

- Then Eric Tuttle and Prince Nana who were opponents last time out, walks out with Simply Lucious (who colour commentator Steve Corino was dating at the time).

- And then hell breaks loose as the Hit Squad runs in, one of them puts nana in a figure four and the other then frog splashes the shit out of nana. Still the towel boy gets a worse treatment. Mafia and Monsta Mack throws him to the outside....but no one catches him, so SPLAT!

- Oh, during this melee, Christopher Street Connection who got mauled at the last show comes out and have their theme song played to scare DHS (i guess) only problem: Their theme is YMCA.... Erm, yeah

- Then Hit Squad tries to put Lucious through a table Dudley Style. But they have a change of heart and throws her over the top rope to the many people outside the ring. What the CSC tries to do with Tuttle, i wont get into. However there is a clip where The Boogie Knights (you know those two white dudes who got a win because they got beaten up with a rubber chicken) tries to steal Boogalous chainsaw, but only finds.....a rubber chicken.

- CW Anderson and Elax loses to Matthews and York in a very forgettable match

- Xavier was supposed to have a rematch with Scoot Andrews, but "The Black Nature Boy" got hurt. So instead Xavier gets to face....... James "Little Guido" Maritato

-Really cool tornado DDT from Maritato followed by a pretty sick looking 'Oriental Scorpion' (or at least that's what Corino calls it submission from Maritato. Finish is a cradle pin from Xavier that catches Maritato by surprise. I won't complain about Xavier winning because it actually makes both men look pretty strong. By no means a fantastic match but it was definitely watchable. But Xavier as a face is bland as fuck!
