ROH Manhattan Mayhem V
ROH Manhattan Mayhem V Review:
Adam Page vs Silas Young: **3/4 Fun opener only 7 minutes long but action packed for all 7 minutes
Steve Corino comes out for commentary: Steve Corino comes out for commentary (from the backstage area which kind of hurt the angle given if kayfabe ur not even allowed into the show I doubt you are allowed backstage) and is told he doesn't work for ROH anymore and is escorted out of the building all the while screaming about being unfairly fired from ROH great angle but it was hurt by Corino coming out from backstage instead of the crowd
Scramble Tag Rules Adrenaline RUSH (ACH and TD Thomas) vs C&C Wrestle Factory (Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander):***1/4 A little sloppy but very fast paced with some crazy high spots
Proving Ground Match for future ROH TV Title shot Matt Taven vs Mike Mondo: *** Decent stuff the HOT's interference actually made the match better for once instead of hurting it and for once Mondo had a good match not involving a ring general or breaking a body part
Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson) vs Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero and Alex Koslov): ****1/4 Great fast paced match with sick highspots and great tag work basically the greatness you see every Young Bucks match you see in PWG which is a compliment when it comes to me
RD Evans Promo: RD Evans comes out and says ROH is unjustly not booking him and QT Marshall and says he will not leave until they get a match so Prince Nana (who was at ringside doing commentary) and announces he's a new ROH talent scout and says they're going to face a new team he signed who are Homicide and Eddie Kingston called Outlaws Inc leading to
Marshall Law (RD Evans and QT Marshall) vs Outlaws Inc (Eddie Kingston and Homicide): No rating good segment this would've been better if Cide and King just came out and murdered Marshall Law instead they lasted 5 minutes and then Outlaws Inc snapped RD Evans fingers post match
Michael Bennett vs Tomasso Ciampa: ***1/4 Great work on Ciampa's leg by Bennett and Ciampa got a dominant win and moves forward in the ROH World title Tournament also given how soon it was after Michael Bennett nearly killed BJ Whitmer the attempts at a piledriver on the apron were awesome
Kevin Steen vs Roderick Strong: ***1/4 Great fast paced match they both got to him some high impact moves including a superplex by each basically 13 minutes of striking power moves and fast paced action Steen moves forward in the ROH World Title Tournament
Michael Elgin vs Karl Anderson:***3/4 Great match Elgin hit his usual freaky feats of strength such as a deadlift superplex, deadlift german, deadlift vertical into a sitout spinebuster, Delayed Vertical Suplex ETC which looked even more amazing due to Anderson being 3 inches taller than Elgin and Anderson hit some sick offense as well such as a Super Fireman's Carry Ace Crusher a spinebuster on the floor sitout reverse piledriver ETC Elgin moves forward in the ROH World Title Tournament and beats Anderson tying there series at 1-1
ROH World Tag Team Title Match American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) vs reDRagon (Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish):****1/2 AWESOME MATCH!!! They just went fast paced balls to the walls action for almost 30 minutes with dives top ropes moves a table spot all wrapped in with some great storytelling and wrestling and bonus points for my favorite team in the world right now reDRagon being put over by The American Wolves for the belts with Kyle making Davey submit to his cross armbreaker
Post match: Outlaws Inc come out and break Kyle's finger and make it clear they want to ROH World Tag Titles good way to build a new team as contenders without making the champs look weak
Overall Rating: 9/10 Great show 2 MOTYC's a hot opener and some other matches that are worth going out of your way to see makes this a show that gets an easy recommendation
