BRM Reviews the 1/7/2017 ROH

Post by Big Red Machine » Jan 16th, '17, 17:42

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS PROMO- AWESOME!
“There is no expiration date on destiny.” He had so better win this tournament!

JAY BRISCOE PROMO- good.

DECADE OF EXCELLENCE TOURNAMENT FIRST-ROUND MATCH: Jay Briscoe vs. BJ Whitmer (w/Kevin Sullivan & Punishment Martinez)- 6.25/10
The whole thing with the spike and Mark Briscoe’s run-in was totally unnecessary. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Whitmer’s willingness to get DQed here buries the ROH World Title.

WHITMER PROMO- he said that “this ends next week” so at least this stupid bullsh*t will finally be over!

SILAS YOUNG & THE BEER CITY BRUISER vs. JOHN SILVER & ALEX REYNOLDS- 4.5/10
Good for what it was.

Kevin Kelly mentioned that later tonight we would “get some thoughts from the Young Bucks on what happened at the end of their match at Final Battle and what we saw on the screen.” If you want to make sure that people stay tuned in to see this then why aren’t you being so vague? SAY MATT HARDY’S NAME!

SILAS REVEALS HIS & BCB’S NEW PARTNER- It’s Bull James.
You know… when a guy came in and put on matches as terrible as the two James was in on the Road to Final Battle 2016 Tour, Gabe would cut the matches from the DVD and not book the guy again. Under Delirious, not only are the matches left on, but he invites the man to wrestle on a TV taping. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY?!

Also… Silas said that they had been looking for a partner for months. In that time, there has been just one promo about this, which aired months ago, and it hasn’t been mentioned since. Meanwhile, Silas and Bruiser have spent the rest of that time in meaningless matches aside from Silas’s one world title shot. What they should have been doing was having Silas & Bruiser teaming with a slew of different guys and losing when that guy eats the pin. That way you’re actually telling the story of them searching for a partner.

Wait, no it’s a swerve. They called Bull out here just to attack him. That was stupid. If Adam Cole couldn’t get a match out of Bull James that didn’t suck, what makes anyone think that the f*cking Beer City Bruiser is going to be able to do it.


PROVING GROUND MATCH: ROH Six-man Tag Team Champions The Kingdom vs. Will Ferrara, Cheeseburger, & Joey “Diesel” Daddiego- 4/10
Having a competitive match with these goofballs does not make our new champions seem very legitimate.

YOUNG BUCKS PROMO- GREAT!
Vanguard 1 showed up and got superkicked, which got a huge pop. The only problem with this was Kevin Kelly’s insistence on referring to Matt Hardy at the end as “that very broken individual” for absolutely no reason.

DECADE OF EXCELLENCE TOURNAMENT FIRST-ROUND MATCH: Colt Cabana vs. Chris Sabin- 5.5/10
The match was short and ended when the Boys came out to distract Cabana, allowing Sabin to roll him up. Why did the Boys come out? Dalton beat Cabana at Final Battle, so why is Dalton the one continuing the feud? That makes him the heel.

A frustrating episode of ROH. The only things worth watching were the Bucks’ promo and Daniels’ promo.
Hold #712: ARM BAR!
