The good doctor himself Dr. Keith Lipinski is sending in results from the ROH show in San Francisco. Here's what he has to say!
Human Tornado and Chris Hero start off tonight. Small crowd - maybe 300 or 350 people. Hero d. Tornado at 12:56 with a hangman's clutch. Good opening match with plenty of dancing.
Roderick Strong d. Claudio Castagnoli at 13:31 with the Gibson driver. Good match with lots of Claudio's "HEYYYYY" malarky (Keith's words, not mine) and some good wrestling to boot.
Adam Pearce d. 'Machine Gun' Karl Anderson at 7:35 with a piledriver. Anderson looked good and might have lost a tooth on a lariat. Delirious ran out and bit Shane Hagadorn during the match just like The Amazon from Nintendo Pro Wrestling!
Brent Albright d. Delirious at 8:12 with the half nelson German suplex. Slow-paced but a good strong finish. Delirious had him tapping to the Cobra stretch but Adam Pearce had the ref's attention and he missed it.
Davey Richards & Rocky Romero d. TJ Perkins & Tony Kozina at 10:38 with a Davey armlock on TJ. Very good tag match with Rocky and Davey shining.
Age of the Fall d. Davey & Rocky at 12:13 with Necro hitting the tiger driver on Davey and Jimmy doing his choke guillotine DDT. Lots of crowd brawling throughout the match.
'American Dragon' Bryan Danielson d. Austin Aries at 18:47 with a small package. Incredible match, tons of submissions and near finishes, just awesome!
Nigel McGuinness {C} d. Jay Briscoe at 18:52 with a wrist submission. Briscoe worked on his injured knee throughout. Afterwards Danielson came out, slapped Nigel. and they started brawling. Then the Age of the Fall came down and fought with the Briscoes, then Rocky and Davey, then Austin, then Chris Hero who did some dancing moves, then Claudio came out to brawl to him. Holy clusterfuck Batman!
Very interesting show; Friday night was an easier crowd whereas Sunday was a 50-50 mix of casual fans with hardcore fans. Excellent wrestling throughout. {plug}
