BRM Reviews ROH Time To Man Up

[Big Red Machine]

ROH Time To Man Up (8/4/2006)- Long Island, NY

SAMOA JOE PROMO- okay

BRYAN DANIELSON vs. JACK EVANS- 6/10

IRISH AIRBORNE vs. MATT SYDAL & CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (w/Allison Danger)- 5.75/10

NIGEL MCGUINNESS PROMO- great

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI vs. COLT CABANA- 5.5 with some good comedy.

AJ STYLES PROMO- eh.

ULTIMATE ENDURANCE MATCH FOR THE ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES: Austin Aries & Roderick Strong(c) vs. BJ Whitmer & Adam Pearce vs. Ricky Reyes & Homicide (w/Julius Smokes) vs. The Embassy (Sal Rinauro & Jimmy Rave) (w/Prince Nana & Daizee Haze)- 6.25/10.
Some shoddy storytelling in the beginning with a spot where everyone either hits or goes for their finishers on Rinauro, but other keep breaking up the pin. For Strong and Aries, this makes some sense, as the whole reason for them doing two Ultimate Endurance matches this weekend is to prove that they are the best tag team champs ever, and getting all of the eliminations would help that argument all the more… but for everyone else, it is just an elimination, so breaking it up doesn’t make sense. I liked the story with the second elimination, though.

AUSTIN ARIES POST-MATCH PROMO- good

BRYAN DANIELSON PROMO- eh

STEVE CORINO SEGMENT, & SEGMENT WITH PEARCE & WHITMER- GREAT!

ROH PURE TITLE MATCH: Nigel McGuinness(c) vs. Delirious- 7.5/10

LACEY PROMO- good

DAVEY RICHARDS & KENTA vs. THE BRISCOE BROTHERS- 8/10

AJ STYLES vs. SAMOA JOE- 7.5/10

BRISCOES PROMO- good

SAMOA JOE PROMO- AWESOME!

Overall, a great show from ROH, but there are better ones out there.
