BRM Reviews The 1/21/2012 ROH

[Big Red Machine]

I'm trying to get back into this, completely spoiler-free, so here we go:


PRE-MATCH PROMOS- okay

EDDIE EDWARDS vs. MIKE MONDO- 5/10. Told a nice little story.

HYPE FOR SHOWDOWN IN THE SUN: Hype for PPV’s is always good.

WRESTLING’S GREATEST TAG TEAM PROMO- GREAT! (more Shelton than Charlie, though).

CHAIRSHOTS TO THE HEAD ARE NOW KAYFABE BANNED- hmmm…

JIM CORNETTE INTERVIEWS THE BRISCOE BROTHERS- okay

RICKY REYES vs. RODERICK STRONG (w/Truth Martini & Michael Elgin)- 5.5/10. Roddy shouldn’t need a handful of tights to beat Ricky Reyes.

KEVIN STEEN PROMO- great

DAVEY RICHARDS & KYLE O’REILLY PROMO- O’Reilly wanting to be an American Wolf with Davey (rather than their own team name) came off too fan-boyish, and made Kyle not seem like his own person.

KENNY KING (w/Rhett Titus) vs. MATT JACKSON (w/Nick Jackson)- 7/10

Overall, a decent episode of ROH.
