BRM Reviews the 5/4/2013 ROH (DAVEY VS. KYLE!)

[Big Red Machine]

KARL “MACHINE GUN” ANDERSON vs. MICHAEL ELGIN- 7.25/10
A great match, but giving Anderson the win here was a mistake. They need to be building Elgin up for this title shot, but having him lose random matches to a guy who is going back to Japan after this.

DAVIENE vs. MSCHIF- eh segment. Daviene’s pro debut was in listed as being in 2013… and it showed. The only thing she really had a chance to sell was MsChif’s scream, and she didn’t do a good job of it. I’m not saying she has to run in fright and jump into the lap of a fan at ringside Beth Phoenix-style, but she should have done something more than just walk backwards and put her hands up. Thankfully the match didn’t go long because Veda Scott came out and attacked MsChif as revenge for spitting the green mist in a face a few weeks ago.

BJ WHITMER PROMO HYPING UP HIS TITLE SHOT IN RICHMOND- decent

Nana takes a phone call, then gets up and leaves commentary. He is replaced by Bobby Fish.

KYLE O’REILLY vs. DAVEY RICHARDS (w/Eddie Edwards)- 8.75/10
Just watch it.

Overall, this show was utterly fantastic. Reminded me a lot of the old HDnet show.
