ROH TV taping spoilers from San Antonio (taped 9-19)

By Chris Aiken

There was a dark match beforehand with two local indie teams.

Show #1

Matt Sydal beat ACH. This was good of course. It took a little time to warm the crowd but once they did the crowd was popping for the highspots, and there were a lot of them. This was a great way to kick off the tapings.

The Big Takeaway – Nothing spectacular but an entertaining hour of canned matches that mean next to nothing in the overall direction for ROH. The US debut of IWGP IC Champion Hirooki Goto was probably the most notable thing on the show.

It’s New Japan vs ROH tonight with a show taped from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia just after the G1 tournament ended but obviously before the All-Star Extravaganza PPV.

The Big Takeaway – Show was your basic build for next weekend’s PPV. Really good tag match in the main event that reminded me of a Road Warriors/Midnight Express  (or maybe Freebirds) match from the 80’s.
