BRM Reviews the 10/1/2011 ROH
Posted: Oct 5th, '11, 00:23
JIMMY JACOBS (w/Steve Corino) vs. MIKE BENNETT (w/”Brutal” Bob Evans)- 5/10. No botches, but also entirely unremarkable, like most Mike Bennett matches.
EDDIE EDWARDS VIDEO PACKAGE- a good video package, but factually inaccurate. Eddie had been using the “Die Hard” name for at least a year before that. More interestingly to me, though, is the fact that they actually showed You-Know-Who on TV (as it was his chairshot). I wonder if that will play into the angle?
RODDY-DAVEY HYPE- eh. Again, it was a good video package, but not entirely factually accurate, as Roddy and Davey didn’t hate each other until 2008 (when Davey turned on Roddy and joined Sweet N’ Sour Inc.)
ROH WORLD TV TITLE MATCH: El Generico(c) vs. Jay Lethal- 7.25/10
Overall, a decent show from ROH, but, IMO, that isn’t good enough. ROH talks a big game, and anyone who has seen the DVDs can tell you that ROH can definitely live up to the hype... but ROH needs to live up to the hype on TV, too.
