More on ROH Television

By David Zmerzlikar
We start off this week with the ROH commentators Mike Hogewood and Dave Prazak annoucing the signing of The American Dragon Bryan Danielson by the WWE.Hopefully this turns out to be a good decision for Danielson and he can mimic the success that Cm Punk has attained and not just become another wrestler lost in the shuffle and never pushed.He certainly is more then talented enough.Now its time to get to our first match of the night.
Tag Team Match:
Dark City Fight Club vs The Young Bucks
For those who are unaware Dark City Fight Club is Kory Chavis and Jon Davis and the Young Bucks are Nick and Matt Jackson.Very Fast start with plenty of tags with the Young Bucks controlling and hitting a moonsault on Chavis's arm followed by a double stomp off the top rope onto the arm.Two nice spots right there.Chavis finally gains control by hitting a double clothesline.Nice leapfrog legdrop pulled off by Dark City.Nice backflip bulldog and Matt makes the hot tag.He cleans house and the Young Bucks hit some sweet double team moves and go for the pin but it's broken up by Dark City.Dark City's turn now with the double team moves but pin is broken up.Jon Davis knocked to the outside and Nick comes off the top rope with a sunset flip for the pin.Pretty good opening match.
Winners:The Young Bucks
Briscoe Brothers promo where they talk about there rivalry with Kevin Steen and El Generico which happens to be our main event for tonight.
We now cut back to the ring where Prince Nana introduces us to Bison Smith who is making his HDnet tv debut.
Bison Smith vs Sal Rinauro
Poor Sal.He starts off with a slap to the face of Bison but then gets powerbombed into the turnbuckles for it.Chokeslam into a pin but Bison lifts his head up at two.Press slam into the turnbuckles and Sal is now on the outside.Bison whips him into the guardrail.Sal into the crowd now and Bison with a nice shoulderblock over the guardrail taking Sal out along with a bunch of chairs.Once again i reiterate poor Sal.Press slam now back into the ring and Bison pins him with one foot.
Winner:Bison Smith
Nana then puts over the beating Bison Smith just delivered and brings out his hired gun Joey Ryan.Nana then issues a challenge for anyone in the back to take on Ryan and who answers the call?None other then Colt Cabana.
Joey Ryan vs Colt Cobana
Cabana starts out by throwing Ryan to the outside not once but twice.Crowd chanting for Cabana.Cabana's style of wrestling is pretty funny as he totally humiliates his opponent with his moves.Nana trips up Cabana and Ryan gets his first offensive move in with a standing dropkick.He then follows up by working the left shoulder of Cabana.Cabana with a reversal and hits a moonsault off the middle rope for a nearfall.Ryan again continuing to work over the left shoulder.Cabana takes control with punches leading to the windup punch.He whips him into the corner for a spalsh but Ryan comes back with a superkick for a nearfall.Ryan misses a swinging bulldog off the top rope and then gets put in the billygoats curse and submits.
Winner:Colt Cabana
