BRM Reviews the 9/16/2015 ROH

[Big Red Machine]

reDRagon vs. THE HOUSE OF TRUTH (w/Jay Lethal & Truth Martini)- 6.5/10
Definitely the best match I’ve ever seen J. Diesel in.

BRISCOES PROMO- good. They hype up their match against a mystery team at the PPV.

DALTON CASTLE (w/the boys) vs. CEDRIC ALEXANDER (w/Veda Scott)- 6.25/10
Silas Young is on commentary. He wound up causing a distraction that cost Castle the match. After the match, Stokely Hathaway came out and distracted Cedric so Moose could set up behind him and spear him when he turned around… so I guess we are supposed to tune in to the PPV to see the heel get revenge?

WAR MACHINE vs. THE KINGDOM (w/Maria Kanellis)- 6/10
Maria ran into the ring and pulled Hanson’s hair right in front of the referee but there was no DQ. She would later grab a hold of his leg in full view of the referee and was not DQed. Other than that this match was fine, but not main event quality. The finish saw the Young Bucks come out to pull Maria off of the apron. This caused Bennett to be distracted, allowing War Machine to take the advantage and hit Fallout for the win. The wrong team went over here.

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- good build to the tag title match.
First the Young Bucks gave Bennett a double superkick, then the KRD came out and Kaz and Daniels leveled the Bucks with the tag belts.

ALL-STAR EXTRAVAGANZA VII VIDEO PACKAGE- very good. Moose was particularly impressive for hat might well have been his very first promo.

A solid in-ring episode of ROH that did a great job of being a go-home show. They crammed hype for as many matches as they could into these 44 minutes.
