BRM Reviews the 6/30/2012 ROH

[Big Red Machine]

MIKE MONDO PROMO- I really don’t care about Mondo or his character.

DAVEY RICHARDS vs. MIKE MONDO- 6.75/10
Great showing by Mondo…but Mondo not taking the five more minutes makes no sense, based on his character! It also makes using this as the basis for this push he is getting even more ridiculous

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH: Great segment. It is a good teaser of what you can see if you go to a live show, and showed us Cole earning the TV Title shot that he would later receive on TV.

Kevin Kelly calls a Texas Death Match “the ultimate war to settle the score.” Not in ROH it isn’t. In ROH, the big feud-ended is a Fight Without Honor… which this feud has wasted. And are they really blowing off a tag team feud with a singles match?

TEXAS DEATH MATCH: Charlie Haas vs. Jay Briscoe- 7.5/10
What the hell was the point of a school-boy in a Texas Death Match? How the hell is that going to keep Haas down for a ten-count afterwards? Anyway, this was very well done, but if this is the end of this feud, it is just disappointing. Am I the only one who face=palmed when Jay to the ether soaked rag- this rag covered in this substance that Jim Cornette and Kevin Kelly have been teeling us is so damn horribly dangerous- and threw it AT THE FANS?

Anyway, a pretty good episode of ROH.
