The Indy/Int'l Wrestling Thread - ROH Final Battle ‘17, M Dalton Castle def. Cody Rhodes for Title

  • Thread starter Thread starter New Editor
  • Start date Start date
- Spanky is still awesome. Just this dude that do a lot of wierd stuff

- Homicide and Boogalou is mad as hell from what went down the last time, they are out on a headhunter quest and wants to eff people up. Boogalou sounds like a poor mans Scott Steiner prior to gone missing
Well, he turned up in XPW as a facepainted jobber

- I actually kinda like the Boogie Knights if only because they have Joe Esperato as their entrance theme and I love them for it. Well the rubber chicken comes out quickly and one of the Boogie Knights sells it like he's being hit over the head with a thousand steel chairs. It's amazingly shit. Boogie Knights get fucked up so the DQ loss is redeemed, but for some reason HC Loc (The ref that got bullied by Natural Born Sinners last month) is nowhere to be seen.

- Low Ki honestly look like an angry version of The Last Airbender for real. For some reason Daniels doesnt get DQ'ed for refusing to shake hands (even though we were told earlier that this is a sure fire DQ). Its a fun match, but for petes sake do something other than kicking the guy. Also someone in ROH has a fetish for Bow And Arrow locks.

- Daniels hits the Angels Wings, Ki responds with a Ki Krusher and a tidal wave. Way to sell that super killer move.

- Really fucking cool ending though with Daniels going for a roll of the dice and Low Ki just reversing it into a Dragon Clutch and Daniels taps. This match was fairly average but it's worth watching for that sublime ending. No joke on nothing that's the most crisp looking end to a wrestling match I've seen in years. Actually, fuck it, I'll take snaps of it.

- Then Paul London is supposed to have a match with somebody named Chris Marvel. This match is over quickly for obvious reasons
007.png
yup Marvel screwed up and got hurt for it.

- Here we have the Briscoes (Mark cannot wrestle as he is still too young) so brother Jay faces off with Spanky. Jay Briscoe isnt that good of a singles performer now and he was bland as fuck back then...Spanky wins btw

- Then Red, Brian XL, The Maximos and Divine Storm (aka the spotmonkeys) pick up where they left at the first show.

- MAIN EVENT TIME! And with KEN freaking SHAMROCK as ref.

- Low Ki's throwing defensive kicks and it works. He looks like a snake, just snapping at Danielson to keep him away. Seriously, this show is making me really, really like Low Ki and that's annoying me.

- Oh no, don't worry, Low Ki's just kicking for the sake of kicking again and it's less interesting. Danielson responds by wailing on Ki with some vicious forearms and that's awesome, seriously, Danielson throws arms like he doesn't give a shit who he hits and it's excellent.

- Oooof. Low Ki stands on Danielson's chest, Danielson goes into a bridge and so Ki double stomps him. Actually made me cringe a little because fuck, that looked vicious. I swear Danielson is made of real steal. Danielson responds by hitting a dragon suplex that looks like it breaks all of Low Ki's bones. This match is wonderful.

- Low Ki locks in cattle mutilation and Danielson reverses it into a dragon clutch. I always love it when wrestlers steal finishers, especially if they do it slightly less good then the guy who's finisher it is, actually makes things look a bit more legitimate. I hope that makes sense, I know what I mean and that's all that matters I guess.

- Ki goes for the Phoenix Splash but AmDrag gets his knees up and I'm pretty sure that's revenge for the double stomp earlier. Double oof.

- And Ki responds with a Ki Krusher from the top rope. Looks awesome. Low Ki needs to stop being awesome and go back to reminding me why I can't stand him. Match ends with Low Ki passing the fuck out during a cattle mutilation and yeah, that's fucking phenomenal. This match is phenomenal and yeah, I'm starting to already really enjoy ROH.
 
I forgot another awesome thing about Spanky, his theme music in ROH was "Quality Control" by Jurassic 5. Can this guy be less awesome ?
 
Night of Appreciation - Philadelphia, PA 4/27/02

- We find out who HC Loc (the ref that got beaten up at the very first show) had contacted. Its former ECW Baldie Tony DeVito, they rough a couple of ring guys up

- Then the video package shows up. Theres Dragon, Ki and Daniels. Oh and two new players in the main event drama: Donovan Morgan and some southern dude by the name of AJ Styles

- Christopher Street Connection tries to do what Hit Squad have done in the past and fire people up outside the venue. They even swap spit before Mafia and Mack chase them off. DHS is seriously over as fuck. Reminds me of Road Warriors, only that both of them is from Bed-Stuy and that Monsta Mack is Low Ki's Cousin

- Speaking of roughnecks from Bed-Stuy, Homicide is not at the show, so Boogalou is flying solo.

- First "Match".... You guessed it. DHS vs ChrisStreetConnec. However Allison Danger (back again) has other plans, she makes it a three way, tossing in Prince Nana and Simply Lucious (who have been beaten up in the past) and Elax (i haven't a clue why he is there). So now its 5 on 2 and DHS gets bronco busters from the team homo. That of course pisses them off royally. Prince Nana doesnt give a what about Elax and throws him outside. Then things get wierd. Allison tries to make out with Lucious, Nana gets in her face about it, the gays get in Nanas face about him getting in Allisons face. While all this happens the Hit Squad recover and then they go on the attack, stiffing everything in sight. Nana then hangs out the rest of the gang to get murdered, Christopher Street Connection both takes nasty suplexes and Lucious gets tossed up in the air by one and chokebombed by the other member of DHS before getting the Burning hammer for the 3 count. Oh i think i have forgotten someone, hmmm oh yes. Elax comes in to attend to the fallen Simply Lucious. He then gets a stiff lariat and is placed on a table before Monsta Mack (who is billed to be 275 lbs) leg drops him through the table.

- Then they talk about Jay Briscoe being 0-2 in ROH and he then faces Tony Mamaluke (who unlike James Maritato) has no issue using the old F.B.I gimmick.

- Match starts with both guys scrambling to pin the other and it'd probably work if these guys had any animosity. Mark's on the outside again and he's angry that his brother isn't winning. Or he's angry that he's not wrestling. Or he's angry that his Mom conviscated his Wheatus CD. Actually, probably all of the above.

- I literally can't wait for the Briscoes to be teaming together, not because I love them but because this brotherly feud is ridiculous and dumb. I can guarantee this match won't be going into the top ten, Mamaluke is really quite dull and I'm pretty sure I could beat him up. Fuck it, I'm pretty sure metalman could beat him up.

- Anyway, Jay wins with a Jay Driller and breaks his losing streak but Mark Briscoe is still pissed off. Damn kids. Briscoes head backstage where Mama & Papa Briscoe are waiting but Mark is all like 'y'almost lost!'. Also James Maritato reprimands Tony Mamaluke for not dropping the comedy and Tony's all 'you're the only comedy act around here' and I'm pretty sure neither of them have done anything comical. At least they've outdumbed the Briscoes I guess.

 
- Matthews and York are up next against Divine Storm (Chris and Quiet) who, if i have to be honest arent all that interesting to me. Quiet Storm gets the win with a nice submission finisher though.

- Then things get interesting of sorts. Because Xavier is 2-0 and now he has to face both Scoot Andrews and James Maritato in a three way

- Xavier's already growing on me a bit, he's nothing amazing but he's not as bad as I remember and works fine as a midcard talent, I think it just annoys me that we're going to be made to think he's more than that. Really cool spot with Maritato going for a suplex sort of thing on Xavier but Scoot just catching Xavier and hitting a Force Of Nature (pumphandle piledriver) instead. Scoot's fucking awesome.

- End is really cool; Xavier goes for a diving cross body on Maritato but the former Little Guido just catches him with a Fujiwara amrbar and makes him tap out. It's nowhere near as good as the three way dance from show #1 but it's a fun midcard match and will likely end up at the bottom of my top ten by the end of the show.

- Simply Lucious is tired of driving all the way from Texas to Philly to get beaten up and groped by the hit squad so she asks ROH boss Rob Feinstein for something else to do.

- AJ Styles promo is next, and blank me is it awful. He tries the whole "South vs North" stick and sound like he is as confederate as dixie. AJ does have a cool theme though ("Touched" by Vast)

- One thing I've noticed is that pretty much every match starts the same with some messy chain wrestling. This is the third match of the night to start with two guys just scrambling for an advantage. Again I understand it's the nature of the beast with a 'super serious' fed like ROH but dammit there's gotta be a better way.

- Low Ki starts kicking AJ Styles to try and get out of a lock up and nobody is surprised. I know he's been a part of all three of my favourite matches thus far but that doesn't mean I like seeing him just kick everything. It always looks ridiculous. So AJ and Ki trade kicks and then both go for a roundhouse which does look kinda cool, especially because it results in both of them hopping like they're doing the hokey cokey.

011.png


- Low Ki can be stiff as fuck when he kicks, we see that after he catches AJ in the corner with at Yakuza kick. OUCH!

- Another yakuza kick from Low Ki and it's making me feel uncomfortable because there's no way AJ can protect himself properly when Ki's just launching rockets into his head. He makes up for it with a dragon clutch through the ropes and I always love it when guys use the ropes to asisst submissions, looks awesome.

- AJ then reverses a running Ki Krusher into a spike DDT and that looks excellent.

- AJ also does that jazzy moonsault reverse DDT and I always loved that move too. Ki responds with a powerbomb followed by a birdging pin and AJ kicks out.

- 'AJ Styles won't be able to piss straight tomorrow'. Donnie B is the best worst thing on announcing ever.

- Awesome move from AJ as he turns a crucifix bomb into a spike DDT. First half was kinda dull but the last few minutes have been excellent. Low Ki wins with a small package but it looks like AJ kicked out. This sets up perfectly for a rematch down the line and I'm actually pretty excited at the prospect of that. It's still annoying me that Low Ki has flat out impressed me in every match, he's just let down by a lot of shitty kicks.

- Backstage Christopher Daniels is in good spirits, because ROH has finally done somthing right by bringing in his friendo from the west coast Donovan Morgan

- After we see Dunn and Marcos being butchered by Loc and Devito it will be time for Daniels vs Donovan
 
- Daniels vs Donovan begins with Daniels still dishonor the rules by not shaking hands (i thought that was instant DQ? guess not)

- Cool little headlock spot to start off with Morgan reversing everything Daniels does into a side headlock and after a while Daniels just throws himself back and hits a nice back drop. It sounds unremarkable and it is, but it's technically sound and looks the part.

- I hate to blow my own trumpet but I was spot on with the unremarkable comment. Nothing in this match is bad because these guys can wrestle and these guys can wrestle well but nothing about this match is particularly great. Although as soon as I've typed that Morgan just leaped off the top rope and nailed a DDT on Daniels on the way down and that looked more slick than my man Rick. (shoutout to Redman)

- End comes with a series of reversals followed by Morgan hitting a sort of Perfect Plex thingy with a bridge to score the pinfall. Upset of the century. Or something. After the match Daniels admits that Morgan is the better man and offers a handshake but pulls his hand at the last second and says the code of honor is a farce because, y'know, it is. Daniels goes on to say he wants to watch Morgan's back because everyone else is a backstabber. Or something. The Prophecy is born. Sort of. Yeah, it's a weird way of doing stuff.

- Well if it isnt the Texas Wrestling Crew Gauntlet. First Paul London beats some guy who i never seen or heard off afterwards, the big story here is that Simply Lucious
02003.jpg
have joined the guys on commentary.

- I take that back, hearing her and Corino flirting on the mike isnt that pleasing to be honest.

- London then faces Michael Shane/Matt Bentley who defeats London with an elbow drop that somebody from his family used on the Conneticut circuit years back.

- Then the Ayatollah of Awesome comes out (Talking about Spanky here) and Lucious leaves after hearing about Corinos size.

- A good match follows, incredible but true. Spanky misses the Sliced Bread twice, but third time is the charm. And that brings out.....

- American Dragon who then goes back and forth with Spanky, who have split his pants at this point. After Spanky wins, he says he wants the ROH world title, so does Dragon, so does Daniels who come out, Scoot wants it, Xavier wants it. Fuck, even Jay Briscoe wants in on the action. And so does Nana and of course Low Ki.

- Which brings us to the last ever ROH appearance of one Eddie Guerrero. Teaming with Amazing Red against the Maximos who have pinned Red at the past few shows.

- Eddies crisp moves makes it watchable, because Red and SAT's doesnt do a whole lot for me. After Eddie picks up the win with at Crucifix Powerbomb, its handshakes and hugs all around.

- After the match Brian XL is out and he's pissed that he's not getting the same opportunities as Amazing Red and the Maximos. He gives the microphone to Eddy and Eddy just flat out chews him a new one. Someone yells 'Criss Cross' at Brian XL and Eddy needs to bite his lip not to giggle. Now they're brawling which means one thing only, we're finally getting out Frog Splash. Yay.

- Eddy finishes it with a long, heartfelt speech where he thanks everyone for supporting him and I end up with a lump in my throat and now I need to watch the Eddy DVD. Lovely end to a decent show.

Devon just keep getting the short end of the stick in TNA. The old AJ Styles is back in his phenomenal one gimmick, that had me hype. Did it turn anyone else on that Brooke can suck a ring of a finger
 
I watched it. Good to see Brooke T's fine ass back on TV. Bully is a real professional though, script or no script I wouldn't be able to resist palming that ass if we're making out. Would've been like "i'm just trying to sell this angle more" if she looked at me sideways.

The main event was dope but the AJ swerve was kinda WTF especially since in the post show he was back to the NO ONE gimmick and not the Phenomenal One gimmick. I wonder where this is going. Maybe he's playing them psychologically to make getting Joe and Magnus out of the final 4 BFG series spot even easier. I don't know.

Loved the Aries swerve on EGO. The X-Division match was on point too. Cowboy is way over for the mid card right now they definitely need to rebuild him back as a main event level singles guy by early next year. Liked the street fight too. For the first time ever Jay Bradley finally showing some potential. Seems like the "YES!!!" chant has become the defacto chant for underdogs in pro wrestling today. Park had that crowd on fire at one point. Good-bye Devon, thanks for the memories. Overall good episode. Seems like the better and more creative writing is usually reserved for the taped episodes and not the live ones lately.

Road To The Title - 06/22/02

- The tournament for the title is on

- We see Homicide and The Hit squad preparing Low Ki for the tournament. Ki is pissed and want a piece of Chris Daniels

- Bryan Danielson is up first against a dude named Biohazard

017.png


Who is about as shit as he looks, thankfully Danielson makes him tap quickly

- Then Spanky faces Paul London in the second match. They really have had better encounters than this im sure. Spanky is still undefeated after winning it.

- Doug Williams then beats up Jay Briscoe with a lot of forearms and a slick roll-through german suplex
< - the aforementioned suplex. This means that Williams gets Danielson in the second round

- Next up is two british highflyers, one Jody Fleisch and Jonny Storm fight.

Earlier on that same us tour they faced off in CZW


In that match Fleisch nearly killed himself on a ssp botch. But regardless. Fleisch takes the win in this one with a sitout powerbomb, and goes on to face spanky

- A little backstage skit sees Christopher Street Connection (you know, those homosexuals who have been beaten up at every show) make Jerry Lynn (that guy that had quite a few awesome matches with RVD) eat a banana. It suddenly dawns on Lynn why they want him to do and he runs down the hallway yelling "Help Help" in a so scripted manner that its kind of funny

018.png


- Then Low Ki gets some action against Prince Nana who has a fetish with buttsplashes in the corner for some reason. He goes to the well one time too many and gets a stiff enziguri that knocks him the f out. The match takes less than four minutes!

- Then Red beats Xavier in about 5 minutes with the infrared/standing ssp and moves on to face low ki.

- After that short match, Daniels beats Scoot Andrews in even less than that. Which leads to a silly match between Daniels manager Simply Lucious and japanese girl Sumie Sakai.

- AJ Styles vs Jerry Lynn wraps up the first round matches. And remember folks. This is not "The Phenomenal AJ Styles". This is actually a great match, and it almost lasts longer than the other matches in the first round combined. For anyone who have seen their TNA stuff in 2002, you will know what to expect. If not, then get to see it here
 
- Then we have to narrow the field from 8 to 4.

- Spanky starts it out by smoke Jody Fleisch in a quick match, not really much more than a spotfest

- Then Doug Williams pulls out an upset by defeating Bryan Danielson to get the second berth into the 60 minute ironman match

- Amazing Red vs Low Ki is the third final. And look what i found


- In 2002: AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels was still a fresh match. Yup, sounds incredible, doesnt it? Its a good match back and forth. Daniels busts AJ open and work on the cut. Lots of moves being used here, even the ol Blue Thunder bomb. AJ tries that jazzy moonsault into a ddt that he used to do whenever, but Daniels counters into the last rites (an awesome move btw). An okay match, nothing more, nothing less.

 
So a quick recap might be in order

- Low Ki has beef with Daniels because Daniels isnt respecting the rules of ROH

- Daniels dont respect anybody apart from Luscious and Donovan Morgan

- Spanky isnt really beefing with anybody, hes just spacing around

- Daniels, Spanky, Ki and Doug Williams are set to face off in a four man 60 minutes iron man match

- Bryan Danielson is awesome in the ring

- London too, but his matches are too short and people seem to get hurt

- No Samoa Joe yet

- Da Hit Squad are two fat puerto ricans from bed-stuy (do or die) and they fuck everybody up that gets in their way

- Homicide is teaming with Boogalou and they wear masks and beat people with rubber chickens (i wonder if Roadkill knew about that)

- Christopher Street Connection are so gay they make Billy And Chuck look like sir smash-a-lot-of-broads in comparison

- No CM Punk yet

- Jay Briscoe is wrestling and often loses when he does

- Mark Briscoe isnt wrestling and gives his brother a lot of stick for his many losses

- Mikey Whipwreck trained Chris Divine, Quiet Storm, Amazing Red, Joel Maximo and Jose Maximo and they all hate Brian XL and each other it seems. Brian XL got frog splashed by Eddy Guerrero but Eddy Guerrero doesn't come round there anymore

- Towel Boy has vanished

- Prince Nana didnt vanish, but he probably wish he had. My head still hurt from that stiff kick he took.

- No Alex Shelley yet

- HC Loc used to be a ref, but got beaten up by Boogalou and Homicide after DQ'ing them for beating to white guys from Brooklyn with a rubber chicken. Now he have Tony DeVito to help him mistreat young guys who think Poison is the shit.

- James Maritato is very, very serious. Tony Mamaluke is also quite serious but James Maritato doesn't think he is.

- No Colt Cabana yet.

- Also, no Austin Aries yet

- But AJ Styles is there and sounds like a stereotypical white dude from the south

- And Jerry Lynn cannot eat his banana in peace (This shit is bananas)
