BRM Reviews ROH Fifth Year Festival: Philly

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Fifth Year Festival: Philly (2/17/2007)- Philadelphia, PA

NIGEL MCGUINNESS vs. TJ PERKINS- 5.75/10

LACEY, PEARCE, & JIMMY SEGMENT- Great!

CLADUIO CASTAGNOLI vs. AUSTIN ARIES- 6/10

STREET FIGHT: BJ Whitmer, Colt Cabana, & Daizee Haze vs. Adam Pearce, Jimmy Jacobs, & Lacey- 6.5/10

THE BRISCOE BROTHERS vs. KEVIN STEEN & EL GENERICO- 8.25/10. Steen & Generico definitely impressed here, earning chants of “PLEASE COME BACK!”

SAMOA JOE vs. JIMMY RAVE- 7.5/10

FIP HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Roderick Strong(c) vs. Delirious- 5/10 I got what they were trying to do, but I think it would have been accomplished a lot better by having Roddy pin the injured Delirious.

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal(c) (w/Allison Danger) vs. Jack Evans & Shingo- 7/10

Good post-match segment with Evans and Aries.

LACEY & JIMMY JACOBS BACKSTAGE- AWESOME! This is the best angle ever!

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Homicide(c) (w/Julius Smokes) vs. Takeshi Morishima- 7.25/10. The crowd really wasn’t that into it.

Overall this show was only okay. I am slightly amazed that it was so hard to find.
