BRM Reviews the 8/23/2014 ROH (Awesome)

[Big Red Machine]

ROCKY ROMERO vs. TOMMASO CIAMPA- 6.75/10
They were having a great match until Ciampa got DQed for not breaking the Sicilian Stretch when Rocky got to the ropes. It was a disappointing finish, but it seems to play well into whatever they are doing with Ciampa right now.

BJ WHITMER & TADARIUS THOMAS BACKSTAGE PROMO- great segment! Deep down, TD is still a babyface!

ACH PROMO- good

JAY LETHAL PROMO- good

MOOSE vs. R.D. EVANS (w/Veda Scott & Ramon)- No rating. Good segment.
Veda tries to convince Moose to sign with her group. R.D. tries to convince Moose to call off the match and instead be his tag team partner… and Moose agreed. Ramon is not happy about this. I guess her figures he is being dumped for a bigger balder black guy.

CEDRIC ALEXANDER PROMO- good.

ROH TV TITLE MATCH: Jay Lethal (c) (w/Truth Martini & Selezyia) vs. ACH- 8/10
Wow. Jay Lethal has an absolutely atrocious haircut. It looks like he stuck his tongue in an electrical outlet then tried to use a blow-drier to get the hair to stay down again. Truth and Selezyia interfered, but were booted from ringside, at which point we got an awesome one-on-one match which went to a time-limit draw, and did a fantastic job of setting ACH up as Lethal’s next big challenger.

Another awesome show from ROH.
