BRM Reviews the 8/24/2013 ROH

[Big Red Machine]

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH FOR AN ROH TV TITLE MATCH NEXT WEEK: Vinny Marseglia vs. Todd Hanson vs. Brian Fury vs. Kongo- 5.25/10
None of these guys really impressed me at all.
Truth Martini and Matt Taven show up to do commentary, which was really only done so that Truth could show Kevin Kelly (and inform the TV audience) that he had procured a bodyguard's license for Selezyia and a wrestler's license for Kasey Ray. Kevin Kelly kept referring to this as a "loophole" as if Truth were doing something underhanded, but as Taven pointed out, this is EXACTLY what Nigel wanted from them.

ZIZZOU MIDDOUX & MIKE SYDAL vs. CAPRICE COLEMAN & CEDRIC ALEXANDER- 5.25/10

MATT TAVEN PROMO HYPING THE SOUTHERN DOUBLE SHOT- decent.

INSIDE ROH SEGMENT- Kevin Kelly & Steve Corino were good, C&C were fine, Adam Cole was great.

ADAM COLE PROMO HYPING UP THE RINGMSASTER'S CHALLENGE- good.

ROH WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal- 7.25/10
Great match. If he keeps putting on efforts like this, I’d love to see Sonjay back in ROH (and the fact that they let him appear on ROH TV doesn’t bode well for his future in TNA).
