BRM Reviews the 7/15/2015 ROH
Posted: Jul 15th, '15, 19:15
MATT SYDAL vs. ADAM PAGE (w/The Decade)- 6.25/10
Sydal wins clean but gets jumped from behind by Whitmer. ACH comes out to make the save but the babyfaces eat chairs. Whitmer then restrained ACH and forced him to watch Page hit Sydal with the Right of Passage onto a pile of chairs that Colby set up for them. Steve Corino yelled at Colby for participating in this.
DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR PLUG- GREAT! These graphics rock. I like them more than any company going today, including WWE!
VEDA SCOTT PROMO- GREAT!
SILAS YOUNG vs. WILL FERRARA- 5.25/10
Ferrara gets the win after Castle’s boys distract Silas. Silas kicks their asses afterwards.
ROH TV TITLE MATCH: Jay Lethal(c) (w/Truth Martini) vs. Mark Briscoe-
So a mere two undercard wins after losing his last TV Title shot to Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe is randomly getting another one.
ODB shows up to help Mark by jumping the barricade… then pausing to take a long swig from her flask, and ONLY THEN actually helping Mark despite the fact that she was less than two feet away. She’s clearly got an alcohol problem.
The story of the match was that the House of Truth was content with a DQ to help Lethal keep his title but Mark’s pals didn’t want that. Lethal cheated to win (and also DESTROYED ODB on a dive to the floor).
Roddy was on commentary to help build up Death Before Dishonor, and he got involved in the post-match brawl. Then he and ODB cut promos setting up and eight-person tag match for next week pitting ODB, Roddy, and the Briscoes vs. The House of Truth. This feels VERY underwhelming for the 200th episode.
A good show from ROH with some good build towards DBD, but it’d be nice if they did… well… ANYTHING to build up… or even JUSITFY the tag title match at the iPPV.
