BRM Reviews the 4/4/2015 ROH

[Big Red Machine]

MICHAEL ELGIN vs. WILL FERRARA- 3/10
But good for what it was.

WAR MACHINE vs. TWO JOBBERS- awesome squash

The question on the ROH Codeline this week is "who is looking for a manager? Cedric Alexander or ACH?" At least they're using this thing to build up angles now.

HANDICAP MATCH; Michael Elgin vs. War Machine- no rating, bad segment.
Elgin, the heel challenges the babyface to a handicap match, and then manages to decently hold his own against them before purposely getting DQed. This was a bad idea, and a doubly bad idea for this particular episode, which not only featured War Machine's return, but also featured an AJ Styles vs. Mark Briscoe match which needed time.

SAMOA JOE PROMO- came off like the terrible shill that it was. You can't have a guy put over his own merch in that sort of serious tone. It just doesn't work.

JAY BRISCOE PROMO- great promo, and great build for Supercard of Honor IX.

ACH vs. QT MARSHALL- 4.5/10
Steve Corino makes the term "Cary-Tron" official. Q.T. has reached the point where he's actually not bad in the ring.

POST-MATCH SEGMENT WITH ACH & THE DECADE- GREAT!

MARK BRISCOE PROMO- decent

AJ STYLES vs. MARK BRISCOE- 8/10
Awesome.

A great show from ROH!
