ROH Bedlam In Beantown
ROH Bedlam In Beantown (4/11/2008)- Boston, MA
VULTURE SQUAD PROMO- Smokes' incoherence must have rubbed off on Jigsaw. Jack Evans and Ruckus were good though.
FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH FOR A SHOT AT THE ROH WORLD TITLE LATER TONIGHT: El Generico vs. Rocky Romero vs. Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong- 6.25/10
Good opener, and a good post-match promo, too.
MIKE BENNETT vs. JASON BLADE- 4/10.
Yes. It is the same Mike Bennett. He is nowhere near the wrestler he is today, either in skill or look or charisma.
EDDIE EDWARDS vs. JIGSAW (w/Mercedes Martinez)- No rating good segment
THE BRISCOE BROTHERS vs. THE VULTURE SQUAD (Jack Evan & Ruckus) (w/Julius Smokes)- 6.75/10
SARA DEL REY vs. DAIZEE HAZE- no rating. AMAZING segment. Makes you really want to hit Larry Sweeney in the face. Hard. Multiple times. Also, I believe that this was the official beginning of the Delirious Loves Daizee angle. It also transitioned perfectly into...
SIX MAN ELIMINATION TAG TEAM MATCH: Sweet N' Sour Inc. (Chris Hero, Brent Albright, & Larry Sweeney) (w/Shane Hagadorn) vs. Pelle Primeau, Claudio Castagnoli, & Delirious (w/Daizee Haze)- 6.25/10.
Really felt like it dragged towards the end.
NIGEL MCGUINNESS PROMO- GREAT!
DAVEY RICHARDS vs. KOTA IBUSHI- 8/10
Exactly the awesomeness you would expect from these two.
RODERICK STRONG JUMPS ERICK STEVENS- good
NIGEL MCGUINNESS PROMO- AWESOME!
ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Nigel McGuinness(c) vs. Erick Stevens- 7.5/10
DELIRIOUS & DAIZEE HAZE BACKSTAGE- very good.
BOSTON MASSACRE MATCH: Kevin Steen vs. The Necro Butcher- 7.25/10
Violent, but not too exciting, and the way things had been building over the past few months made it abundantly clear who would win.
KEVIN STEEN PROMO- AWESOME! To the point where I now I absolutely have to go watch the next night's show (Injustice) to see Nigel vs. Steen RIGHT NOW!
Overall, a good show from ROH, but nothing amazing. A must-buy for Delirious fans, due to the start of an important angle in his career, and a must-buy for anyone who wants to see Larry Sweeney at his absolute best. For everyone else, it is enjoyable but also skippable.
