Ring of Honor is on the final stretch before there huge celebration of the 2nd Year Anniversary, everyone is getting ready for this huge event. Talent are going all out to promote the event, NWA’s Chris Benoit has been hyping up not only NWA’s events but also ROH’s upcoming house shows and big event. The tension and anticipation is great going into these final few weeks. Tyler Black has himself a World Championship match against Randy Orton at 2nd Year Anniversary because of the controversial ending to the Honor Rumble from Glory By Honor. Black is now the most hated wrestler in all of ROH surpassing Randy Orton. But this doesn’t phase Black who after months and months of supposed hell according to him finally main events with the spotlight shone on him, this was something Black was going to milk for all it was worth. It was reported on the website that Tyler Black was to make an official statement regarding what will happen at 2nd Year Anniversary and his match. This statement was set to take place and the upcoming HDNet show in New York.
The HDNet show came around and everyone was wondering what this statement was going to be, we were going to find out as Black started the show off walking down to the ring in a three piece suit with lawyers and security officials behind him. Black gets into the ring and soaks up the boos from the crowd as he grabs a microphone
“You are going to want to listen to me now, so stop your booing because I am the chosen wrestler of Ring of Honor, don’t believe me then watch Glory By Honor from this past weekend, I survived the onslaught on thirty other guys, I was able to overcome them all and get myself a Championship Match that I have deserved, nay, I have demanded since August of 2010. You will see I have my lawyer present; this is because I don’t trust ROH management. You see in February I was given a World Championship match but it was not in my favour, the Lumberjack Match suited Orton because all of the lumberjacks were out to get me and not him, you know damn well I was screwed in this match and ROH done NOTHING, to help me out. One Christopher Daniels shattered my dream of becoming champion time and time again, so I did what anyone else did, make a statement, I superkicked Daniels week after week, month after month, PPV after PPV until he realised he is nothing more than a pawn in my game. Daniels you may have superkicked me at The Big Bang, but who is going to face Orton at the 2nd Year Anniversary show…ME! My lawyer and I have made this contract to protect the most valuable asset in Ring of Honor, Tyler Black. This contract says that I am not to have any matches until my Championship with Orton, also I am not to be the centre of attacks and then I am to be treated with great respect -”
As Black is talking we see Aries and Daniels slowly come from the crowd and slowly slide into the ring without Black noticing, then turn Black around and take him down just beating the ever loving hell out of him. Black is trying to get away as Security is pulling Aries and Daniels away from him. Security holds both men as Black superkicks both men in the face taking them down to the mat, Black looks down and smiles as he looks to speak to the crowd again
(Play Orton)
Orton slowly makes his way down to the ring, holding his World Championship around his shoulder, Orton slowly enters the ring and picks up the contract and then snatches the microphone away from Black, both men stare each other down as Orton takes the microphone to his mouth
“Are you done now Mr. Black, Are you done lecturing the fans on how you got screwed over this championship, here is a lesson for you, August 2009 Randy Orton debuted in Ring of Honor and went straight after the top prize and I won it all, I became a World Champion but was screwed by another man, the owner of this company. I didn’t bitch and moan about it, instead I fought through all the challenges set before me and I became a two time Ring of Honor World Champion. That was March 2010, this is March 2011 and look at where I am now, I am the most dominant champion in this business, any wrestler put before me I have beaten and send them packing. I have been champion for over a YEAR, something you couldn’t do with someone carrying the matches you were in! Black, I maybe hated in this company but I have something that you don’t have, and that’s respect. Hate me or love me I give these fans what they want and that’s me wrestling in this ring every night of my life. Black you see this contract -”
Orton takes the contract and rips it in half and then stamps on it, Orton then begins to speak again
“It’s null and void, that means what I do to you is legal, these security guards cannot touch me or I will sue you for everything you have got, But I tell you what Black. I have got off a call from Paul Heyman and he has agreed to my proposal for you. Tonight and Next Week, you are going to wrestle in two matches, should you lose a match, the winner will be added to the World Championship match at 2nd Year Anniversary. Many of you would think that is insane because it makes my chances of winning even less, but guess what. I haven’t been a World Champion for over a year for nothing. I am a fighting champion and Black sooner or later you going to find that out”
Orton drops the mic and smiles as he drops Black down with a vicious RKO, Orton stands tall getting a slight face reaction as he holds his championship high as we go to commercials.
Back from commercials we see Black just outraged backstage, throwing stuff around until he sees Paul Heyman, Black goes right after Heyman wanting to destroy him but members of the ROH Roster come and save Heyman holding Black back as Heyman begins to smile
“Black I was going to be kind and give you the name of your first opponent tonight but I think I will let the surprise be the benefit to you, happy days Black, happy days!”
Back at ringside we get the first match of the night NWA’s Chris Benoit facing off against Yoshi Tatsu in a Champion Vs Champion match and after a great fifteen minute match Benoit was able to get the win with the diving headbutt. After the match Benoit asks for a microphone.
“After Glory By Honor where Randy Orton beat me, I was thinking about what is going on with my career here in ROH, then is struck me, I need to face more competition and I need to show why I am your Pure Champion so I say this right now, I want three challengers for 2nd Year Anniversary to make it fair I want one from ROH, one from DGUSA and One from WWF, If I beat all three then I want get a World Championship match against Orton at Driven in June, If I lose any of my matches then I will give the Pure Championship to the winner of that match.
Benoit leaves the ring to a mixed reaction from the fans, wondering about this challenge that Benoit has put forward for the 2nd Year Anniversary. But we cut backstage to JB who is with Randy Orton
“Randy, I would like to ask a question, earlier tonight we saw a different side to you that we haven’t seen in over a year, can you please explain your action earlier tonight?”
“JB, I don’t have to explain anything to anyone, I wanted to show Black that bitching and moaning doesn’t get you anywhere, hard work and dedication does and this championship belt high signifies that statement. Now tonight Black has to face an opponent, if Black loses, that opponent gets put into our match so if anything there is more for me to gain then for him to lose”
We go back to ringside for the next match of the evening which sees the Kings of Wrestling going up against The Dudley Boys in which KOW, win quite easily. There already booked for a Triple Threat Tag Team Elimination Match at the PPV so this match for them was to show dominance and strike fear into Beer Money and Hawkins and Ryder as we go to commercials.
Back from commercials and it’s time for the main event of the evening, Tyler Black comes out first to huge jeers from the crowd, Black still surrounded by security gets into the ring and waits for his opponent for tonight’s match
(Play Daniels)
The crowd are going crazy for Daniels, but Daniels doesn’t pander to the crowd nor does he make his usual entrance, he just runs down the aisle way and straight into the ring taking Black down and starting to attack him. The match turns into a street fight as both men go brawling into the crowd and backstage and go everywhere. Daniels wanting to put the fight to Black. They eventually get it back into the ring after fifteen minutes and Daniels has the upper hand. We see Orton slowly making his way down the ring and actually starts shouting for Daniels and cheering him on. Daniels looks set to put Black away but Black counters into a superkick taking Daniels down covering for 1…2…NO! Orton takes out the referee and gets into the ring. Black sees this and goes for a superkick but Orton ducks and takes Black down with an RKO. Orton pulls Daniels over Black as the ref slowly comes too and counts 1…2…3!
The crowd are going crazy as Christopher Daniels has beaten Tyler Black and because of this Daniels is now in the World Title match at 2nd Year Anniversary. Daniels slowly rises to his feet and starts to celebrate but back right into Orton who takes Daniels down with an RKO, the crowd booing Orton who smiles and raises his championship high as the cameras fade to black.

The following week on HDNet we start off with highlights of the pervious week in which Daniels was able to secure a place in the main event of 2nd Year Anniversary by beating Tyler Black. The show opens with Black in the ring not waiting anymore and demanding that he gets his second challenger here tonight and right now
(Play Orton)
“Are we getting touchy Black, look you kicked my in the face many times before so I think payback is something you should only get so meet your opponent for tonight, the man you will face at 2nd Year Anniversary.”
(Play Aries)
Aries comes out much like Daniels not wasting any time just running down into the ring and go right after Tyler Black but gets superkicked in the face as Black pins Aries for 1…2…3!.
Black gets his hand raised my Orton shouts for the music to stop
“Black I forgot to mention that the superkick was banned from this match so your winner by disqualification and going to the 2nd Year Anniversary main event Is Austin Aries, making it a Four Corner Survival Match!”
Black just goes right after Orton chasing him backstage but gets blindsided by Revolution whom start beating Black down and leave him laying as Orton finishes with a kick to Black’s skull as we go to commercials.
Back from Commercials we see Heyman and he confirms that it will be a four way match for the World Championship at the PPV, Heyman also announces that Triple H and Taz will face off on the third night to hopefully settle there issues once and for all. We go back to ringside for the next match of the evening but before Cruise can announce the match he gets interrupted
(Play Nash)
Nash comes down the aisle way and gets into the ring getting out his wallet and giving a hundred dollar bill to Cruise for the interruption as Nash takes a microphone from his pocket
“Hey remember what I said last year, when your as epic as me, you don’t ask for a microphone, you carry one with you! Now I don’t want to waste too much time so I am going to say it right now, I am in a lawsuit against a man named Diesel, he stole my spot in the Honor Rumble and I was pissed so I am going to sue Diesel for all I have got, this means that I can only have one match at the 2nd Year Anniversary show but hey don’t cry ladies and gentlemen, Big ol’ Kevin Nash has a way to please everyone. You see its three night event. So why not have a three man announce team. That’s right at the PPV Kevin Nash will be part of the commentary team with Joey Styles and Matt Striker, the reason I came out now is so I can get a little practice before the big event so if you will excuse me Mr. Cruise please announce the next match”
The next match was to be Yoshi Tatsu going up against Tajiri in cruiserweight action. Tatsu ends up getting the win with the Roundhouse kick after that we cut to a commercial break. But during the match Nash had some interesting things to say
“Do you know that Yoshi can come in four different colours and then you can ride on one of them”
“Tajiri likes poontang pie but he can’t seem to wrestle that well tonight”
“If Nintendo and Sega ever merged together would the world explode”
“This court case going on right now reminds me of when I was main evening WCW and everyone was attacking me”
“You see this, it’s the NASHional Championship, something only I can have because it’s my name”
“Yoshi Vs Tajiri, what’s next Mario Vs Sonic at the Olympics?”
“Well this match was okay, but hey wasn’t my promo just epic I mean I had a microphone and everything, look here is a hundred dollars to share between each of you, buy yourself something nice I want too see you representing ROH at 2nd Year Anniversary show!”
Back from commercial we see Aries in the locker room surrounded by ROH roster members as Daniels sit’s down next to Aries
“We made it Aries, we are finally going to main event the biggest show of the year and one of us will walk out as champion”
“That’s true Daniels but Revolution, how are we going to deal with them during the match?”
“Aries I have that covered, you focus on Tyler Black for night two, I’ll focus on taking down Revolution, after tonight ROH makes it’s stand against this group and at 2nd Year Anniversary we will take back what is ours”
We go to ringside where the next match takes place, Swagger Vs McGuinness which McGuinness wins with the jawbreaker lariat. After the match Daniels comes running down into the ring and whispers something into McGuinness’ ear. McGuinness smiles as they leave the ring and run to the back as the crowd are wondering what is going on. Swagger slowly takes a microphone and announces that he will face Benoit at Night One for the Pure Championship. We go to a commercial break
Back from commercial we see Daniels and McGuinness talking to Heyman who seems to be pleased with what they are talking about. Daniels and McGuinness leave the room leaving Heyman to his laptop. Back at ringside the final match of the night was to take place as a huge six man tag between London, Kendrick and Taz going up against The Revolution members of Triple H, Matt Hardy and RVD. In a back and forth match The Revolution was able to pick up the victory but without any delay Briscoe Brothers, McGuinness, Aries, Daniels, Low-Ki all come charging down into the ring and start beating the Revolution leaving them laying on the mat as the cameras fade to black

The following week HDNet opens up with McGuinness and Daniels inside a steel cage, the crowd chanting for ROH as Daniels has a microphone in hand
“I don’t know if you have seen the last year of ROH, but we have been plagued by The Revolution. We have had enough and we want this to end so I propose this. We take Three of our guys you take Three of Your guys and we settle this inside Steel Cage Warfare! Now I know I have a World Championship match on Night Three but if we take out The Revolution for good then my chances at becoming champion are ever higher. This cage will surround the ring and every five minutes another competitor will come into the match, this is an elimination match so whichever team loses all there members loses the match. The gauntlet has been thrown down so do you accept?”
Triple H from The Revolution comes out and just smiles and nods his head as Daniels and McGuinness are pumped and ready to go for this event. We go backstage and we see Aries and Black going at each other just fists flying and things being thrown everywhere, they start to fight though the crowd and into ringside as Aries throws Black into the cage which is still set up. Aries gets in as Daniels has a padlock and locks the door shut as we have an impromptu cage match right now. The match gets very bloody very quick as both men just beat the crap out of each other but Aries gets the last laugh with a brainbuster from the top rope followed by a huge 450 splash from the top of the cage. Aries slowly begins to climb and gets out of the cage winning the match as Black is out on the mat a prelude to there showdown at the PPV.
It was announced that on Night One there would be a match to determine who gets the advantage in Steel Cage Warfare, that match was to be Christopher Daniels going against Triple H, who picked Matt Hardy and RVD to be his teammates for the Steel Cage Warfare match. McGuinness demanded a shot against the leader of Revolution as wanted granted the match for night one. The card was now really starting to take shape and with a few weeks left to go the final preparations for the show were beginning. It was announced that Yoshi Tatsu issued a challenge to face someone at Night One and he will put his FIP Championship on the line, the challenge was answered a few days later on the website when Hiroshi Tanahashi answered the challenge and it was accepted so that match was inked going into the PPV for Night One.
The final segment of the show saw Randy Orton face of against Chris Daniels in a prelude to the PPV but Daniels got the win when Aries distracted Orton long enough for Daniels to his the angel’s wings. Post match Aries and Daniels start beating down Orton but Revolution come into make the save as the cameras fade to black.

With days to go till the PPV, tensions were running high and everyone wanted to get a spot on this show. Tajiri and Guerrero demanded matches against Tatsu and both were granted, after the reaction to these three at Dethroned, it was obvious those two matches were to be signed. Tajiri gets to face Tatsu at Night Two and Guerrero at Night Three. A match that many have wondered what would happen it was booked was added to Night One as The Animal Batista was to square off against Revolution’s Enforcer Bobby Lashley.
The three night event looked to be one hell of a weekend of wrestling, everything was inked and signed off, the wait was now over as finally after months of anticipation we are to reach the Anniversary of Ring of Honor. Three nights filled with incredible action that will surprise and shock you. Four men go for the World Championship but only one man can walk out as champion. Benoit with his triple challenge and Orton was to get his own payback as he was to face Low-Ki on night two. London and Kendrick will face the winners of the Round Robin tournament WGTT for the Championships, Kendrick and London hoping to show they belong as champions. Triple H and Taz will square off, one year in the making they will finally get there hands on each other. Aries and Black face off on night two, before there big championship match what will these two men do to each other. We saw the carnage in the Steel Cage Match. That match will be one to watch. Steel Cage Warfare returns as ROH want to vanquish Revolution for good but this event all boils down to the World Championship that Randy Orton has, four men will fight but only one will survive when the dust is settled and call himself World Heavyweight Champion.

Ring of Honor 2nd Year Anniversary, Four Men, One Championship, NO EXCUSES!

The PPV opens up with a camera shot of the Wachovia Arena, with 8,500 roaring ROH fans ready for a great night of PPV action as we cut to ringside and we see Bobby Cruise with a microphone in hand
“Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome the owner of Ring of Honor, James Buchanan”
(Play James)
James comes walking down the aisle way slapping the hands of the fans as he gets into the ring and his music dies down, the crowd are heavily cheering for ROH as James gets them to settle down as he grabs a microphone
“Now ladies and gentlemen, just before the official start of the PPV I would like to take a second to thank you, you the fans for being here tonight. This show could not have happened if it wasn’t for your support and dedication, we have reached the 2nd Year and even though that’s not a lot, to us it’s a milestone. This three night event is just a small token of appreciation and thank you from us for what you have done. This PPV is about the fans and giving them something they will be proud of, thank you again and please keeping chanting those letters that show your love and support for us R…O…H!”
James bows down to the crowd in a show of respect as the camera fades to black, the starting video package airs, some of the wrestlers giving there thoughts on this monumental event. The package finishes as the main package begins highlighting the big matches for this weekend’s PPV, once that package ends the intro to the PPV begins and we go right into the arena with a sell out crowd of 8,500 rabid fans just ready for the first night of unforgettable action. We pan down to ringside with Matt Striker and Joey Styles.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the biggest PPV on ROH’s calendar, the Annual Anniversary Show, over the next three days, grudges will be settled and championships will be fought for, but the big story going into tonight is coming from Supercard where per the stipulation it seems as if The Revolution now have the backing of WWF’s Order of Darkness in taking over ROH, if that is the case then we will be in for a dark ride unless someone stops Orton in the big championship match on Night Three. As you can see there is a chair next to us for someone else, he will be defending his championship in just a few minutes, but he will be joining us for commentary over the next three nights and that man is the Ring of Honor NASHional Champion, Kevin Nash. But Joey Styles have you ever been as pumped and ready for a weekend of wrestling then we are tonight?”
“Safe to say Matt that these next three nights will show the true colours of Ring of Honor, the return of Steel Cage Warfare and the grudge match between Triple H and Taz to look forward too, this event will be huge but ladies and gentlemen lets knuckle down to it and go to the very first match of this entire weekends extravaganza”
“Ladies and Gentlemen your opening contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Ring of Honor NASHional Championship”
(Play Kiyoshi/Nash)
The referee raises the championship high showing the crowd what it is for as he hands it too the time keeper and rings for the bell for the first match of night one.
Both men look ready to go, Kiyoshi runs at Nash but he swats him away pushing him back, Kiyoshi tries again but again gets swatted back. Kiyoshi stands there looking at his options as Nash runs at him but Kiyoshi directs Nash into the turnbuckle, Kiyoshi with a series of kicks trying to take the big man down but Nash comes back with an elbow to the face and then launching Kiyoshi into the turnbuckle. Nash with another elbow to the head takes Kiyoshi down to the mat. Nash takes the body of Kiyoshi and raises him high dropping him down face first into the mat. Nash the walks over the back of Kiyoshi putting all his weight across the lower spine. Nash just smiles to the fans who react with cheers; Nash turns around and kicks Kiyoshi in the head keeping him down.
Nash not even trying is slowly picking up Kiyoshi but Kiyoshi comes back with a kick to the head and then the poison mist right into the eyes of Nash blinding him, Kiyoshi starts to come back with a chop block taking down one leg and then a hurricanrana DDT taking Nash down, Kiyoshi covers Nash for 1…2…NO! Nash powers out sending Kiyoshi half way across the ring. Kiyoshi gets to his feet and hits a shining wizard onto Nash who wobbles on his knees. Kiyoshi goes for another hurricanrana DDT but Nash grabs his tights and slowly gets to his feet going for the jacknife but Kiyoshi counters sending Nash into the second rope. Kiyoshi then runs up the back of Nash and over the top rope with a leg drop across the back of the neck. Kiyoshi gets back in the ring and covers Nash for 1…2…NO! Nash kicks out. Kiyoshi gets to his feet and thinks of what to do next. Kiyoshi slowly climbs the turnbuckle and jumps off with a moonsault but Nash catches him in mid-air onto his shoulders taking him down with the powerslam. Nash with a cover for 1…2…NO! Kiyoshi kicks out to Nash’s amazement.
Nash slowly rises to his feet and takes down the straps of his singlet and raises his arm in the air signifying for the end, Kiyoshi slowly stumbles his way to his feet and gets kicked in the gut by Nash who lifts him high going for the jacknife but Kiyoshi uses his momentum to counter Nash going over the top rope and landing on the ring apron. Nash turns round to see Kiyoshi springboard at him but gets goozeld around the throat as Nash takes Kiyoshi up and down with a big chokeslam. Nash looks to cover but then stops and smiles as he takes the lifeless body of Kiyoshi to his feet and kicks him in the gut, lifting him up and down with the jacknife powerbomb, Nash slowly covers Kiyoshi for 1…2…3!
Nash is handed his championship belt as he raises it high to cheers from the crowd, Nash points to Striker and Styles and smiles as the crowd are chanting for Nash who leaves the ring and walks to the back
“One match down and a good start to the PPV, Kiyoshi did mount some offence but Nash was too much for him, retaining his championship and as you know Nash will be joining us for commentary for the rest of the weekend, but coming up next ladies and gentlemen is a very important match concerning tomorrow’s Steel Cage Warfare match. Both Christopher Daniels and Triple H will fight for the advantage to the match, the winner will get that advantage and potentially that could get them the victory, Steel Cage Warfare is a dangerous match which you will see tomorrow but lets go right now to ringside for this important match”
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the advantage to the Steel Cage Warfare match tomorrow night”
(Play Triple H/Daniels)
The ref just in between both men who are staring intently at each other, Daniels saying that this event will be the eradication of The Revolution and this could be part one of his plan. The ref calling for the bell to start this match.

“What everyone says, I do agree with, yes going through two gruelling matches before my Championship match on Sunday could put me at a disadvantage but let me tell you this, I will be DAMNED if I let a couple of WWE/F rejects come into my promotion and try and take it over, we built this company for people like me, Aries, McGuinness, The Briscoe’s, Tanahashi Hell I can even say Tyler Black, even though everything he has done to me, this is as much his company as it is mine so I am here defending the right of this company and as far as tomorrow goes, don’t worry because ROH is coming hard and tomorrow night you will realise that we will die for this company, quote the book That's the gospel according to the Fallen Angel!”

Tatsu’s theme plays as he is announced the winner of the match, Tatsu being helped to his feet by the referee who hands Tatsu his championship belt. Tatsu raises his championship high, everyone in the crowd are standing up and applauding the amazing effort that both men showed here tonight, Tatsu slowly climbs the turnbuckle and raises the championship high to a great ovation from the crowd. Tatsu gets off the turnbuckle and is face to face with Tanahashi who is holding his sternum. Both men stand off with each other as Tatsu extends the hand in a show of respect, Tanahashi just looks at Tatsu and then looks at his hand, he shakes hands with Tatsu but then hugs Tatsu and raises his hand high to the fans showing the complete respect he has for him. Tanahashi leaves the ring allowing Tatsu to soak up the atmosphere.
“If anyone says that Yoshi Tatsu is a fluke champion, this match showed you tonight that Tatsu is here to stay, what an amazing match from both men, back and forth and there were many times which Tanahashi nearly had this match won but Tatsu’s heart was just so big and his tenacity and will in this match was amazing and Tatsu was able to retain his FIP World Championship title, but he can’t stop because tomorrow he has to face his rival Yoshihiro Tajiri tomorrow again with his FIP World Championship on the line, but ladies and gentlemen JB is backstage with the final interview for this first night”
“Thank you Styles, JB here with my final interview and I am joined by Nigel McGuinness, who next will face Randy Orton in the main event of night one, Nigel I have to ask after what happened at Supercard last week with Orton able to take over ROH, what has changed in your mind and what is going on with you right now?”
“Last Sunday was a difficult night JB, fighting for this company for over eight years and finding myself unable to do anything whilst Orton and his Revolution took ROH from our hands, I’ve had seven days to think about what happened, in those seven days I contemplated many things, retiring and walking away, going to another company, hell I even though about joining them but then earlier this week I walked into this building and I saw two people and I knew that I was not going anywhere, these two people were setting up the ring and running the ropes making sure everything was set for the show that night and for tonight, The gleam in there eyes, the expression in there voice and the body language they showed, that to be is Ring Of Honor, TONIGHT I make a stand, Tonight is the final time you will see The Revolution on top, tonight Nigel McGuinness kills the man that is killing Ring of Honor. Randy Orton, tonight I will break your neck and I will end you career because that is what I do; I end careers of people who fuck this company around. In just a few short minutes you will see why I am the greatest Ring of Honor wrestler alive today”
McGuinness just looks right into the camera and turns around seeing The Briscoe’s, Low-Ki, Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, Takeshi Morishima and Jerry Lynn. Everyone is applauding McGuinness as he walks past them almost like a parade of respect for McGuinness who makes his way to the entrance way, all the wrestlers looking at and applauding McGuinness who leaves the camera shot.
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is your main event of the evening and is a non-title match scheduled for one fall”
(Play McGuinness/Orton)
The crowd are INSANELY behind McGuinness, Orton standing there with a smirk holding his World Championship across his shoulder. McGuinness just etching to get at Orton but the ref keeps pushing him back, McGuinness just pointing and shouting at Orton but Orton just stands there stoic and raises his championship high to HUGE boos from the crowd. Orton drops the World Championship into the corner and is ready to fight. McGuinness still being restrained is ready and is shouting at the referee to ring the fucking bell, the ref calls for the bell and the match gets underway.
McGuinness waists no time, a head full of steam he goes charging after Orton just beating him down sending him into the corner, chops kicks and punches are thrown by McGuinness who just has this demonic look on him, the ref pulling him back but McGuinness just pushes the referee aside and goes right after Orton again just beating him down not letting up, the crowd is loving this as McGuinness just keeps beating Orton down in the corner, the referee gets in between McGuinness and pulls him back. McGuinness just looks at the ref and flips him off and takes the ref down with a divorce court. McGuinness gets back to his feet and goes right after Orton who kicks McGuinness in the face knocking him back, Orton goes after McGuinness but gets taken down with a strong lariat from McGuinness. Orton gets to his feet and is taken down with a reverse neckbreaker. McGuinness just grabs the head of Orton and starts to lay the punches in as hard as he can just punch after punch. The match has only started but McGuinness has lost it, just wanting to destroy Orton. McGuinness takes Orton and throws him so hard into the turnbuckle it sends Orton over the top rope to the outside and the turnbuckle pad falls off becoming exposed. McGuinness doesn’t want to give Orton any thinking time so he quickly goes to the outside.
McGuinness in hot pursuit of Orton whom is trying to get away but McGuinness just stomps Orton right on the back of the knee stopping him. McGuinness then takes Orton and throws him over the barricade into the fans. McGuinness just keeps going, getting over the barricade and going right after Orton throwing him into an upper tier guard rail. McGuinness is in full control as he takes Orton up the stair case and slams his head into a metal handrail. McGuinness then kicks Orton and pushes him back down the stairs causing him to fall to the bottom in a heap. McGuinness gets a great reaction from the crowd as he goes down the stairs and right after Orton, throwing him into a concrete wall and then taking him down with a DDT on the concrete. McGuinness grabs hold of a steel chair from one of the fans seats and goes right after Orton and hits Orton time and time again over the back and legs with a steel chair just not letting up. Orton is in so much pain but McGuinness doesn’t care he wants retribution and he wants to take out Randy Orton. McGuinness takes Orton to his feet and hits Orton in the gut with the chair and then slams the chair over the skull of Orton’s head just breaking it over his head, McGuinness then takes the chair and drops Orton down the floor with a chair style guillotine.
McGuinness raises the chair to show the incredible dent made from Orton’s skull, McGuinness throws the chair to one side and takes the deadweight of Orton and throws him right into the steel barricade at ringside. Orton just propped up against it as McGuinness runs at Orton hitting a running knee sending Orton face first into the barricade. McGuinness just still has this look of anger on his face. Picking up Orton and throwing him from the barricade right into the ring apron rib first. McGuinness climbs back over the barricade and into the ringside area and goes right after Orton taking him and throwing him into the steel steps breaking them apart.

The ref is still out in the ring as EMT’s go to check on the ref and his condition. McGuinness is still fighting with Orton just picking him up and we see that Orton has been busted wide open, McGuinness with punches to the open wound trying to stick his finger in there and rip it open even more but Orton pushes McGuinness away however McGuinness goes right after Orton just attacking him and taking him down. McGuinness then sees the announce table and starts throwing things off of it, McGuinness then sets up Orton kicking him in the gut and lifting him up going for the powerbomb through the table but Orton counters with a DDT onto the concrete.
The EMT’s are in the ring and put the referee on a stretcher and take him out of the ring, Orton slowly sits up looking at McGuinness who is holding his head in pain, Orton has the proverbial crimson mask, wiping the blood from his eyes so he can see. Orton goes over to McGuinness and just starts attacking McGuinness hitting him in the back just keeping him down. Orton uses the steel barricade to get to his feet and waits for McGuinness to get up taking McGuinness and throwing him over the announce table. Orton slowly picks up a monitor and looks at it waiting for McGuinness to turn around and hitting him over the skull with the monitor taking McGuinness down.

McGuinness slowly picks up Orton and punches him hard in the skull taking him down to one knee; McGuinness then takes Orton and throws him over the barricade and back into the ring. McGuinness gets back over the barricade and takes Orton and throws him into the ring. McGuinness slowly gets into the ring and warms up his arm calling for the end running to the ropes going for the jawbreaker lariat but Orton ducks and takes McGuinness down with an inverted backbreaker. Both men are down in the ring, no referee is there as he has been taken away on a stretcher. Orton slowly crawls over and covers McGuinness but there is no referee and Orton slowly looks around seeing there isn’t a referee. Orton slowly stumbles to his feet and falls through the ropes to the outside, Orton looks underneath the ring and pulls out a steel chair sliding back into the ring and waits for McGuinness to make it back to his feet.

McGuinness slowly picks up Orton and looks to go for the divorce court but Orton counters and out of nowhere takes McGuinness down with a sickening RKO. Both men fall down to the mat, the crowd booing Orton for countering McGuinness. Orton ever so gingerly and slowly makes his way to McGuinness and just drapes his arm across the chest of McGuinness but there is no official to count the pinfall. An official comes running down the aisle way and gets into the ring and counts the pinfall for 1…2….NO! NO! NO! McGuinness just kicks out to the crowd’s approval, everyone is chanting for McGuinness as Orton slowly crawls to the ropes and gets to his feet waiting for McGuinness to gets to his knees going for the punt kick but McGuinness moves out of the way, Orton turns around right into a jawbreaker lariat, McGuinness slowly drapes his arm over Orton for 1…2…NO!

Hardy leaves the ring as Orton slowly drapes his arm over the unconscious body of McGuinness, the referee coming too and counting for 1........2……..3!!!
The crowd are just throwing stuff into the ring and the boos are deafening, the bloody and battered World Heavyweight Champion slowly raises to his feet and just smiles and raises his arms in the air to massive jeers from the crowd. Hardy comes into the ring and gives Orton his championship who raises it high in the air. The crowd still throwing stuff into the ring and just pissed that Orton won and looks to have taken out Nigel McGuinness. Orton turns around to leave the ring and gets superkicked by Tyler Black, Hardy tries to attack Black but he ducks the attack and as Hardy turns around he gets taken down with a superkick. Black then slowly picks up the World Championship and looks at it, dropping it on the chest of Orton and shouting out that Orton has only got two days left until Black becomes champion. Black leaves the ring and pushes the camera man over, we have a pan shot of the ringside area in tatters as Orton, McGuinness and Hardy are all laid out and Black is the one left standing making his statement to Orton just forty eight hours before his big championship match as the cameras fade to black for Night One!

My Night One Review

The opening segment:

I enjoyed this. It had an almost Paul Heyman at ECW ONS feel to it. It also was a good way to say that this was the culmination of a years storylines and the start of the new year. Also thanking the fans was a very Paul Heyman us against them feel.

Nash VS Kiyoshi

Poor Kiyoshi. This was a squash but it had to be so Nash could do commentary and thats his hole thing. This match made perfect sense story wise. And really who is going to take that title off of him?

Chris Benoit VS Brock Lesnar for the Pure Title

Ummm this is where releasing this show yesterday spoils the Supercard results but oh well. Also did you get permission to use Brock? I mean your talent exchange is with me and Dm right?

Anyway that aside I enjoyed it a lot. You used Brock as the monster and Benoit as the guy who is able to just out wrestle the big man.

This match however justified the reason I don't like Nash or the way your using him. By having him be on commentary making light of serious matches it takes away from the match and the serious feel, much like Cole does in WWE at times. And also saying fuck on TV...yeah you and DM better start bleeping or your gonna get kicked off air. It just takes away from the verismilitude which I think is important in pro wrestling, expecially this type of company. As funny as I think Chicara is, I will take real serious wrestling over it any day.

Christopher Daniels Vs Triple H:

This for me was the match of the night, Both men showcased their great technical skills. Daniels even kicked out of the Pedigree. It broke down towards the end into hard hitting battle which I liked.
The Taz thing was good but I think the mask was unnesserary, it added nothing if he is just gonna pull it off then and there.


Yoshi Tatsu (C) Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi - FIP World Championship

A fantastic japanese high flying battle. You really are putting over Tatsu as your high flying wrestler. It also legitimised him to beat an ROH Japanese staple. Good stuff.

Batista Vs Bobby Lashley

Dream match? Really? I could care less about either guy. But for some mabye. It was a good big match, more than I think they could really pull off. But still good. My only complaint is taste based.

Randy Orton Vs Nigel McGuinness

The start really has a nice big match feel, with both men feeling each other out. In the end it broke down into a bit of a cluster but since this is the first of three thats fine. It helps build the Tyler Black angle. Orton retaining via shenigians again builds heat on him. But again I wonder who is the heel here if Black and Orton are both acting like heels? Call me old fashioned but I like a good guy and a bad guy. But yeah apart from that this match was good but really served to feed the Black title match.

[Board Admin]

I just have one more match of Night two to do

Five more matches on Night Three and then I will be recording EVERY PPV I have missed to January-April, so it should ALL be done hopefully by the end of next week and I'll be caught up.

[DM]

- Kevin Nash vs. Kioshi

Well, Kioshi tried, really he did. Nash just, well, squashed the fuck out of him, nothing more anyone can really say about that.

-Triple H vs. Daniels

Now THIS was a damn good match, Triple H again was a monster force in this battle and Daniels remained a wily veteran of the ropes was actually able to school H in this one. I am actually surprised that Daniels won this with I believe it was four close calls though if it wasn't for Taz I think he may have pulled it off.

- Kevin Nash - He comes out to be the third commentator, now things are going to get good.

- Benoit vs. Brock Lesner.

THIS is the reason why Benoit wasn't at Spring Stampede because he was recovering from nearly getting killed in this match. Holy Effin' SHIT. This match was long, brutal, and PURE to the fucking core. I actualy read this match TWICE just because it was a wild wild ride and Benoit was able to make Lesner Tap. Thank you JESUS! What a fantastic match, the show could have ended on this and I would have paid an extra 10 dollars just to see the black screen. BTW, Nash on commentarty equals win.

- Batista vs. Lashley

Now normally when someone leaves the company you have them lose, however, not in this case. This actually came off a little bit better than I thought since Lashley was actually the wrestler of this duo while Batista was the powerhouse, strange to see their roles switched I swear. In the end, Batista is able to score the win with a Super Batista Bomb and the ring explodes, I watched it, the fucking thing exploded. Batista gets the win and actually forces Lashley to shake his hand, not a bad match at all and it came off rather well.

- Tanashi vs. Tatsu

This was two Jr. Heavyweights putting on a clinic of pure New Japan Wrestling. I'm not quite sure what the difference between FIP and World Champion are because this was on the calibur of a World Champion. I know Tatsu just won the title two months prior but I seriously thought this was the end of the rope for him, I think this match lived up to all the hype and Tatsu is a made man in this company. I swear if he doesn't get a World Title Shot after this match, there is nothing he can do at this point as he proved himself as a huge competitor.

- McGunniess vs. Orton

This is the stuff that makes heels and this is what kind of sets ROH apart from NWA and WWF in my opinion. The Main Event always feels as if it's a Main Event with little to no hype behind it, which is what sets it apart. Randy Orton was nothing more than a glutton for punishment but took every single bump and bruise and earned his title tonight. Nigel towards the closing moments of the night took a sick DDT to the fucking floor but Orton doesn't care and goes in for more, scoring the win and I think this counts as a one year reign.

Can't wait for Night Two.

[Board Admin]

Night two opens up with a shot of the announcer table and Joey Styles and Matt Striker, the crowd very quiet as Styles begins to speak
“Ladies and Gentlemen, from what happened last night we bring you an update, if you saw what happened then you know that Randy Orton committed one of the most vicious attacks that we have seen here in Ring of Honor, these pictures can help us describe it, these two men had a brutal match but Matt Hardy got involved and well that sparked the end for McGuinness who took three hard punt kicks to his skull rendering him unconscious. As the show went off the air EMT’s and medical officials came down to the ring and had to stretcher McGuinness out of the arena, the ROH owner James was there along with many another ROH wrestlers. McGuinness was sent to a local medical facility where he has stayed for the time being, from initial reports we have heard that McGuinness has suffered a fractured jaw and whiplash to his neck and skull, Nigel McGuinness has been ruled out of action for the near future due to this McGuinness who was scheduled to be in a match tonight has been ruled out and will be replaced so at this difficult time we would like to wish Nigel McGuinness a speedy recovery and that our thoughts and prayers are with you right now.
The screen slowly fades to black and then the starting video package airs for night two, some of the wrestlers giving there thoughts on this monumental event. We see the highlights from what happened the pervious night and the action that took place with championships being defended and the unfortunate incident of Nigel McGuinness being taken out in a violent way, The package finishes as the main package begins highlighting the big matches for this weekend’s PPV, once that package ends the intro to the PPV begins and we go right into the arena with a sell out crowd of 8,500 rabid fans just ready for the first night of unforgettable action. We pan down to ringside with Matt Striker and Joey Styles.
“Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Night Two of our Anniversary, after last night many can say that there is not a lot to celebrate in Ring of Honor, not only did Orton cheat again to get the victory but also he brutally attacked and injured one of ROH’s best. Tonight is the second night and boy do we have a line up for you, the match that Aries asked for last night has been confirmed as Austin Aries and Tyler Black will square off in a falls count anywhere match, we have the return of Steel Cage Warfare with the ROH originals and the Revolution going at it, ROH are one man down but we know the tenacity of ROH and we know they can pull it through when needed, we also have part two of Orton’s plan to take over ROH and that’s him facing Low-Ki in a prelude to his big championship title defence tomorrow night. Low-Ki must be feeling slightly worried about what happened last night and if anything will happen to him but I am sure that ROH management will know what they are doing and will make sure that nothing like this will happen again, but lets send it up to Bobby Cruise for the first match of Night Two”

(Play ?)
The music begins to play and the arena goes red, RVD just falls down to his knees, the mat that brutally beat RVD back in December is fighting for Team ROH here tonight. Abyss slowly makes his way down the aisle way and towards the cage with James Mitchell beside him carrying a brown bag, Abyss has his steel chain around his neck and is carrying a steel chair in one hand and a barbed wire two by four in the other. Hardy and Hunter are trying to protect Abyss as he slams the steel chair into the cage. He slowly makes his way to the door and gets into the cage, The Revolution going to attack Abyss but Abyss holds the barbed wire bat out and everyone steps back. Abyss slams the steel cage door shut as Mitchell grabs hold of the padlock and personally locks the cage himself. Abyss just turns around and looks at The Revolution and smiles, running and wildly flinging the barbed wire bat trying to hit anything that moves but Revolution disperses. RVD is cowering in the corner as Hunter attacks from behind but Abyss just turns around and clocks Hunter in the skull with the barbed wire bat. Hardy gets a shot from the bat as well as Abyss drops the bat and grabs the steel chain from around his neck waiting for Hunter to get to his feet and dropping him down with a steel chain shot. Hardy has been split open even more as the little trickle of blood is now gushing out of his profusely. Abyss takes the steel chain and wraps it around Hardy’s throat and begins pulling back of it just choking out Hardy as much as he can, it looks as if Abyss will decapitate the head of Hardy but RVD with a steel chair to the back of Abyss stops that but Abyss turns around and looks right into the eyes of RVD who hits Abyss over the head with the chair but Abyss just stands there, another chair shot over the head but Abyss just stands there. RVD goes for a third but Abyss grabs RVD by the throat and takes him down with a chokeslam.
Abyss is just dominating all members of The Revolution as he helps Daniels and Danielson get back to there feet, The Revolution are on one side of the ring and Team ROH are on the other side. All six men square off with each other as they all start attacking each other, Abyss and RVD are going at it, Hunter and Daniels and Hardy and Danielson. Abyss takes RVD onto his shoulder and drives him like a missile right into the steel cage not once but three times just dropping him down to the mat. Hunter and Daniels are fighting back and forth as Hunter goes to throw Daniels into the cage but Daniels counters and whips Hunter into the cage and takes him down with a back body drop, Hunter slowly gets to his feet as Daniels kicks Hunter in the gut and takes him down with a fameasser. Danielson is punching away at Hardy and throws him from the corner right into the clutches of Abyss who takes Hardy down with a black hole slam. Abyss and Danielson look at Daniels as they smile, Daniels then looks at the turnbuckle and jumps up and off landing onto Hardy with the BME. Both men then look at Danielson who smiles and takes Hardy to his feet punching him in the face and taking him down with a regal-plex and a dragon suplex. Danielson takes the almost lifeless body of Hardy and locks in the cattle mutilation submission to massive cheers from the crowd as Hardy very faintly taps out.
“Ladies and Gentlemen Matt Hardy from The Revolution has been eliminated”
Team ROH are up three to two as Hunter is behind them with a sledgehammer as they turn around Hunter with a sledgehammer to the gut of Abyss and then takes Daniels down with a sledgehammer shot, Danielson gets to his feet and it taken down with a sledgehammer shot, Hunter turns around and lifts the sledgehammer high and slams it down onto the back of Abyss just taking him down, Hunter posing with the sledgehammer getting jeers from the crowd. Hunter drops the sledgehammer and takes the steel chair and places it in the centre of the ring, picking up Daniels and kicking him in the gut going for the pedigree on the steel chair but Daniels counters with a back body drop.

Danielson gets to his feet but gets taken down with a tiger feint kick from RVD who takes Danielson and throws him hard into the steel cage. RVD slowly begins to climb the steel cage and then gets to the top going for the frog splash but Danielson rolls out of the way as RVD crashes and burns on the mat. Danielson’s crawls over going for a cover for 1…2…NO! Hunter breaks the pinfall up with a chair shot to the back of Danielson’s head. Hunter throws Danielson to one side into the corner and sets the chair up by his face. Hunter slowly picks up RVD and points at Danielson, RVD takes the run up and dropkicks the steel chair right in the face of Danielson. RVD and Hunter taunt to the crowd and get huge jeers as they turn around and both get goozeled by Abyss going for the double chokeslam but they both kick him in the gut and take him down with double DDT. Hunter slowly crawls over and picks up the steel chain and begins to smile, wrapping it around the throat of Abyss and trying to choke him out, payback for Hardy from earlier. Abyss is just coughing in pain as Hunter is wrenching on it as hard as possible. RVD just slapping Abyss in the face who is trying to attacking RVD but he dodges all of his punches. RVD smiling and laughing at Abyss but gets clocked from behind with a sickening chair shot from Danielson who then drives the top of the chair through Hunter’s skull who is wearing the chair round his neck, Danielson we see has been busted open from the dropkicked chair to the face but he doesn’t care as he wipes the blood away from his eyes and we see that Hunter has now also been busted open. Hunter just stumbling around as Daniels takes the chair and yanks it downwards sending Hunter into the mat where the chair spikes into his throat making him cough and splutter.
Daniels then runs to the ropes coming back with a dropkick of his own as Hunter falls down to the mat, Danielson takes the chair off of him.

The crowd are insane with boos just raining down on RVD who sits up and smiles as he has eliminated one of ROH’s biggest legends, he looks around and realises he is all on his own until he looks at the monster Abyss who has slowly made it back to his feet. RVD crawls to the door but realises it is locked as it all sinks in being trapped inside a steel cage with Abyss. The entire Revolution/ROH storyline can be traced back to November 2009 and Rising Above when Abyss beat RVD in the number one contender’s match and Orton finally won his first ROH World Championship beating Matt Hardy in ladder war and now sixteen months later it finally comes back down to Abyss and RVD. The crowd behind Abyss who just stands there and tilts his head looking at RVD who is in the corner wondering what to do as he slowly grabs the steel chain but Abyss comes charging in and squashes RVD in the corner. Abyss takes RVD from the corner onto his shoulders and down with the shock treatment. Abyss just it going mental as he takes the steel chain and wraps it around RVD’s neck. Abyss picks up RVD and launches RVD with hep from the chain into the steel cage, Abyss launches RVD so hard into the cage that the cage actually gives way and one side comes crashing down as RVD just falls onto the concrete. Abyss just raises his arm in the air as Mitchell climbs up the side of the broken cage and gets into the ring and hands Abyss the brown bag, Abyss empties the bag as thousands upon thousands of thumbtacks and bits of broken glass fall down to the mat. Abyss gets out of the ring and goes after RVD taking him by the throat and chokeslamming him through the broken side of the cage through the mesh to the concrete. Abyss rips the cage apart and takes RVD and throws him back into the ring. RVD trying to crawl away but Abyss picks up RVD and goozles him by the throat going for the chokeslam but RVD counters with a DDT sending Abyss head first into the tacks and glass. The crowd chanting holy shit, RVD slowly rolls over and covers Abyss for 1…2…NO! Abyss kicks out as RVD sits up and looks at the turnbuckle and slowly climbs up it holding his ribs in pain but then he climbs up the cage as he looks set for the frog splash from the top again but Abyss catches RVD and climbs the turnbuckle and goozles RVD around the throat looking back and from the top of the cage chokeslams RVD into the tacks and glass, the place is going ballistic as replays and double features are shown. Abyss takes the lifeless body of RVD to his feet and throws him into the ropes taking RVD down with a black hole slam onto the tacks and glass. Abyss slowly covers RVD the ref counts 1…2…3!!!!!
The crowd go crazy as Abyss is announced the winner, therefore Team ROH win. Abyss slowly gets to his feet with thumbtacks and glass sticking in his head and hair but he is the winner here tonight, beating The Revolution. Abyss raises his arm high with the steel chain in hand as he leaves the ring and slowly begins to walk to the back taking one last look at RVD and laughing and leaving the ring.
“Finally the stronghold of ROH has been broken, The Revolution has been dismantled, surely after tomorrow night there will be no-one to protect Orton and I am sure that tomorrow we will see a new World Heavyweight Champion! Abyss came through for Team ROH and I can finally say that I feel safe and happy about what is going to happen to Orton tomorrow”
“Your not wrong there Styles, after almost a year of torment and torture, Abyss finally got his revenge on RVD, he cost him the championship in March last year and Abyss made him pay in the I Quit match in December 2010 but I think this felt even better for Abyss just able to finally close the story to his rivalry with RVD, but ladies and gentlemen you have seen two of the four men involved in this biggest match in ROH history tomorrow night, but coming up next is our main event of the evening for night two and this is a match that has been brewing for a long time, it has now been made a Falls Count Anywhere match as former friends turned into tag team partners and long time friends will now collide as Austin Aries will take on Tyler Black, here to get there final thoughts backstage is JB”
“Thank you Striker, I am here with Austin Aries right now and Aries any last words before the match?”
“It didn’t have to end like this, it didn’t have to come to this but Tyler Black pushed me and I snapped back, in just a few short minutes Black you are going to realise why they can me the greatest man who ever lived, Tyler Black I hope you have a tombstone ready because where I am sending you, Randy Orton will soon be following!!!”
Aries walks away from the camera looking ready and psyched as he makes his way to the entrance area.
(Play Aries)
Aries getting a great reaction from the crowd, Aries slapping the fans hands as he slowly gets into the ring and his music dies down waiting for his opponent
“Okay Tyler Black any final words you want to say to Aries before your match?”
“Aries, you know in August 2010 that was my Honor Rumble, I had to wait six months for my chance, Aries your not going to have to wait any longer for the beating I will give you. Tonight Tyler Black proves he was the best in the team and tonight I will prove why I deserve to be ROH World Heavyweight Champion”
Black pushes the camera aside and makes his way to the entrance ramp just pushing people out of his way.
(Play Black)
The boos are deafening as Black makes his way down the aisle way and into the ring flipping off the fans, getting into the ring and going nose to nose with Aries but the referee pulls them back, his music dies down as we get the introductions for this match.
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is your main event of the evening for Night Two and will be contested under Fall Count Anywhere rules, If anyone gets involved during the match they will be fired from ROH and will have a no compete clause for any company for one year, now introducing first the person standing to my right he weighed in this morning at 202lbs and comes to us from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he is the 2010 Honor Rumble Winner Austin Aries.”
Aries ascends the turnbuckle getting a massive ovation from the crowd as he slowly gets off then and looks straight into the eyes of Black
“Introducing the opponent, he weighed in this morning at 222lbs and comes to us from Buffalo, Iowa, He is the 2011 Honor Rumble Winner, This man looks to become the next World Heavyweight Champion Introducing Tyler Black”
Black gets onto the turnbuckle and gets a huge jeer from the crowd, Black just however ignores them as he jumps off the turnbuckle and looks right into the eyes of Austin Aries and makes the championship motion across his waist. The crowd are ready for this match as the ref explains the rules to both men and calls for the bell to start the main event of night two off.
The crowd ready for this match, Aries in one corner and Black in the other both jut staring each other down, The ref in the middle waiting to see what happens, the crowd noticeably behind Aries as both men slowly make there way to the centre of the ring and lock eyes with each other, a hushed silence comes over the crowd as they stare at these two men who just look each other in the eye. Both men are Honor Rumble winners and could leave as World Heavyweight Champion tomorrow night but that sees far away compared to what these two men are going to go through now. The stare down is one for the ages, neither man is backing down as they both turn and look to the crowd whom are cheering for Aries. Black slowly turns his head and looks back at Aries and looks to attack but Aries take a step back, and then steps forward going nose to nose with Black but Black comes back with a headbutt stumbling Aries back into the ropes coming back and gets taken down with another headbutt. Black goes right after Aries and starts punching away at him but Aries counters getting on top of Black and punching away at him. Both men tussling for position trying to get the advantage but neither can as they break up and lock eyes with each other again.
“You can feel the tension in the building, these two men were very close and now they are mortal enemies, with Falls Count Anywhere in effect, what are these two men going to do to the other?”
“Your guess is as good as mine Striker but the one thing goes through my head and that seems that they are both reluctant to really duke it out, we saw the impromptu fight in the cage a few weeks back but now it’s an official match and neither man wants to be the first out of the starting gate, will that be a concern in the match Nash?”
“Well as you know I have been messing around but this is a very serious match and well in matches like this is pays to be the aggressor early in the match, you can get the psychological advantage over your opponent and if you can, the chances of you winning become greater”
Black and Aries are just toe to toe with each other in the centre of the ring when Black spits right in the face of Aries who slowly takes his hand and slowly wipes the spit from his face and rubs It down Black’s chest, Aries the tilts his head down and then slowly lifts it up with an evil smile and starts attacking Black knocking him back into the corner and the real fight is on. Aries just punching and kicking away at Black who is trying to cower away but Aries is having none of it, just going right after Black tossing him through the ropes to the outside. Aries jumps off the top rope with the crossbody onto the outside taking down Black followed by some more punches to the head. Aries picks up Black and throws his head right into the announce table followed by throwing him over the steel barricade and into the fans. Aries follows as he takes Black and throws him into a crowd protective wall and then clotheslines him down onto the concrete. Black trying to crawl away as Aries takes Black and throws him through a door into the backstage area just beating down Black and throwing him into a ladder propped up against the wall, Aries covers Black for 1…2…NO! Black kicks out. Aries grabs hold of Black’s head and rubs it against a wall just back and forth as Aries then takes Black and slams his head off the ladder.
Aries is in total control of this match as he looks around the corner and picks up a kendo stick as Black gets to his feet and gets smacked right in the back as he stumbles forward, Aries in pursuit hitting Black over the back again with the kendo stick and a third time as Black just falls right into the steel support of the minitron. Aries just looks at the kendo stick and then smiles as he just repeatedly hits Black about twenty times with the kendo stick, Black just gasping for breath and screaming in pain as the kendo stick is just split and broken, Aries throws it aside and raises his hands getting a great reaction from the crowd. Aries slowly picks up Black and kicks him in the gut looking to throw him through a TV Screen but Black counters and pushes Aries away from him but Aries comes running back right into a spear from Black taking Aries down on the concrete. Both men are down as the ref watches on. Black is the first to his feet as we see the welts from the kendo stick all over his body. Black takes Aries to his feet and throws him into the barricade and then throws Aries hard into the steel steps breaking them apart. Black slowly goes over and picks up the top half of the steps waiting for Aries to get to his feet and hitting him over the head with the steps taking Aries down. Black slides the steps into the ring as he then looks underneath the ring and pulls out not one but two tables and also a steel chair. Black sets up both tables on the outside, one on top of the other and picks up the steel chair waiting for Aries to get to his feet going for a chair shot but Aries ducks and kicks Black in the gut and rams him spine first into the steel post. Black just falls down as drops the chair as Aries grabs hold of the chair looking to split open Black’s face but Black moves out of the way as Aries hits the post and from behind Black takes Aries down.
Black slowly picks up Aries and sits him upon the apron, Black then slowly begins to climb the turnbuckle and jumps off grabbing Aries’ head by his legs and taking him down onto the concrete with the hurricanrana. Black sits up and slowly picks up the steel chair and hits Aries over the back with it, Black shouting at Aries to get up as he slowly does and gets hit over the skull flooring him. Black looks at the dent made by the steel chair as he waits for Aries to get up going for a second chair shot and connecting, the dent now even bigger and deeper as he goes for the third and final shot but Aries ducks and uses Black’s own superkick to kick the chair in the face of Black as both men fall down and the ref just looking on. After about a minute Aries slowly begins to move his hand underneath the ring as he pulls out a replica of the ROH World Tag Team Championship belt, Aries just sits and looks at it and then looks at Black slowly rising to his feet waiting for Black to get up and smashing the title over Black’s skull. Aries slides the belt into the ring and throws Black back into the ring. Aries gets in and goes to cover Black for 1…2…NO! Black kicks out. Aries slowly rises to his feet and is in the corner thinking about his next move, he smiles as he sees the steel steps and waits for Black to get to his feet picking him up going for the death valley driver onto the steps but Black counters and pushes Aries down spine first onto the steps. Black is on his knees as he slowly rolls out of the ring and picks up the dented steel chair slowly getting back in the ring and getting to his feet, Black looks at the steel chair and then looks at the head of Aries which is on the steel steps and slowly raises the chair up and slams it against the steps but Aries moves his head out the way as Black drops the chair and gets dropkicked over the top rope from Aries to the outside. Black falls to the outside and gets to his feet as Aries with a suicide dive taking Black spine first into the barricade.
Aries slowly makes it to his feet and gets cheered by the crowd, Aries picks up Black and throws him hard into the announce table taking down Striker and Styles and Nash, Aries rips off one of the TV monitors waiting for Black to get to his feet and just hitting Black over the head with the monitor taking him down. Aries drops the monitor and jumps over the table and goes right after Black just with hard punches to the skull slamming his head time and time again into the concrete. Aries then throws Black over the barricade and into the fans for a second time as Aries slowly climbs onto the barricade waiting for Black to get to his feet jumping off but gets superkicked by Black as Aries falls down to the concrete, Black falls down to one knee and then gets to his feet taking a chair from the crowd and waiting for Aries to get to his feet hitting him over the skull with the chair taking Aries down.

Black gets onto the ring apron and looks at the announcers table, taking Aries going for the brainbuster through the announcers table but Aries counters and takes Black from the apron through the announcers table with the back suplex as the crowd are cheering.
The table is broken around both men as Aries fights out of the table and sits up as he is in pain holding his ribs but looks over and sees Black who looks to be out, Aries then looks over and sees the two tables set up on the other side of the ring, Aries smiles as he slowly picks up Black to his feet and picks him upon his shoulder and slowly begins to walks over to the side with the two tables. Aries then throws Black into the ring, Aries slowly slides into the ring and gets to his feet and slowly picks up Black throwing him into the corner. Aries runs at Black and hits him with the big splash, Aries then slowly picks up Black and places him on the top turnbuckle. Aries slowly begins to climbs the turnbuckle and looks back at the table, Aries sets Black up going for the brainbuster through both tables but Black is fighting out of it and pushes Aries off the turnbuckle and spine first onto the steel steps which are still in the ring.
