Ring of Honor 2nd Year Anniversary 2011 (April)

[DM]

Show opens up recaping the night prior, the announcers are real scared of Randy at this point recapping that he fucked Nigel up.

Triple Tag Team

Beer Money got screwed over and this was a different kind of format, it was elimination tag style, different to say the least. Beer Money got screwed. KOR were the ones that really shined in this match. Beer Money got screwed! Hawnkins and Ryder did the best they could but they were the young ones entering and out of all had the least amount of advantage. Beer Money got SCREWED! Hero and Castignoli came in to win and they did, proving why they are the Kings of Wrestling, By the way, Beer Money got screwed.

Pure Heavyweight Title

Benoit earns his paycheck this month as he was booked for night two and he goes up against Samoa Joe. Could it get any worse? Oh yeah, Brock Lesner...fuck. Only difference is Brock is power, Joe is Power/Submission. Joe was a fucking beast at this point and Benoit again got the piss beat out of him, a lot of countering in this match, it was expected and I thought Joe might actually take it but he passed out to the Crossface and Benoit retains now going to night 3! I think I liked the Lesner match better but this was still very good to see, Benoit has to be exhausted at this point, how the fuck is he going to be by G1?

FIP Championship

Fuck, Tatsu vs. Taijri, the one japanesse guy that can't be fucked with as he's just as crazy as Onita. It's hard to say whom the aggressor is but if anything again the Japs stole the show of the entire program. Tajiri was showcased nicely and the fact that Tatsu was able to beat him, I'm not sure exactly how but again he's proving himself in ROH, why do I foresee Tatsu vs. Benoit?

World Title

Low Ki gets a second chance at Randy Orton's title but unfortunately history would repeat itself and Orton is able to walk away the champion. How the fuck does he counter into a wheel barrow? Simple, he's Randy Fucking Orton! Low Ki I think was a bit too risky on this night especially since Orton already beat him once before, though Orton wins clean...minus the fact he did three fucking Punt Kicks, which is another person on the shelf, Randy Orton, being a true heel and not some bullshit four move of doom wrestler...who knew?

Steel Cage Warfare

Part of me said "Wait..why is this last?" The other part of me said "Will there be blood?" And the last part said "Why am I complaining it's a fucking cage." Actually it's more so ROH's Version of War Games but I still love this concept, then Triple H comes out right after Daniels nearly killed himself against Hardy. WHERE THE FUCK DID DANIELSON COME FROM? WHO CARES THE REVOLUTION IS FUCKED! That was a surprise that I didn't see coming in the slightest. RVD comes down, crowd pops somewhat and now it looks bad for ROH, real bad since RVD is able to out class Daniels and Danielson. Nevermind, Abyss decides to show up and the look upon REvolution's face is just priceless. At this point it's like releasing a bomb in a baby cradle, everything around it is fucked and now things start to get bloody. The match continues with 3 on 3 and little by little it starts to weed down, Abyss obviously had this match won the moment he stepped into the ring, pulling out tacks and glass, setting acid on them then placed them on fire and did a dance though RVD smashes him through it, but of course, this is Abyss, that's not going to do it and RVD gets his ROH send off straight to hell as Abyss wins and REvolution are decimated in Steel Cage Warfare.

Aries vs. Black

So...who's the heel? I know Black started the shit but Aries turned his back first. If it wasn't for the FIP Match, this would have taken the show and it actually had time to pan out, my money was actually on Black to win this one and even though they are a dicotomy, still you kind of wish they were a tag team. Using the steels steps in the ring is something that isn't used too often and doing a 450 Phoenix Splash on the stairs just crushed Black's chances of winning, how the fuck are his ribs not broken? You'd figure that be the end of it but no, Aries sends Black through two fucking tables via brainbuster, well now you broke his neck on top of his ribs and that ends the match. Aries apparently was the face since the fans went crazy and Orton gets the last laugh at the end, Aries couldn't even defend himself against a leaf at this point, thus building the big match at night 3.

Overall this PPV was better than night one since there were no 'squashes' and everything lived up to it. Granted we already saw Orton/Low Ki once before it was for story building and everyone on the card busted their third dick to sell this. Strange that a 'grudge' match closes the show but that's ROH Logic, at least the World Title Wasn't the opener (Fucking morons). Overall I liked Night two better than night one and it only makes me wonder how many flaming glass tables are going to be blown up in night three?

[Valdora]

Triple Tag Team

Fanastic Tag Match. Again though, as DM said twenty times, Beer Money are again denied a push. KOW were the dominators here and really proved to be the stars of this one. Good opener indeed.

Pure Heavyweight Title

Fantastic work. You and I are thinking alike in rebuilding the Monster Joe. Your retro Joe is exactly what I am doing with him in the WWF now so the match up couldn't be more perfect. And Joe was a fucking monster again, taking so much for Benoit to finally KO him. And thanks man for not having him tap. Not that its on my continuity or anything but it keep the monster I am making alive.

And Lesnar debuts tommorrow to represent EWF one last time...fuck.

FIP Championship

Great high flying epic. Both men seemed to know every counter to every hold. There were sequences here that blew my mind, and moves I had to look up. Great.

World Title

This low on the card? Low Ki had no chance. He tried though. Orton however kicked his head off. Yeah bye bye for now Ki. Jesus Orton is a super strong heel champ now...can anyone beat him?

Steel Cage Warfare

I loved it. Match of the night for me. I love multi man suprise filled entrant matches and this certainlt delivered. ROH had its top class reunite to fuck Revolution up. But man did they fight back. RVD in the Revolution...I still can't believe that one. I have a feeling Edge may take his place if the Revolution survived. And judging by this one they won't. Abyss them up, him and HHH could have a run coming out of this. Speaking of which RVD VS Danielson....hmmm.

Aries vs. Black
They are both heels...but the crowd cheers Aries so he is the face...Kinda. Never the less all that buildup finally exploding into an incredible war between these two. The 450 step spot was nuts...how are they both not dead! Or at least ribless. Aries picking up the win makes sense with the way the feud has been booked, Black better come back before he becomes Seth Rollins in EWF heheh. Never the less this was the perfect way to end it as it was THE feud over the past year other than the company war.

Great show againn. MUCH better than night uno. Lot less BS.

[Board Admin]

Night three opens up with a shot of the announcer table and Joey Styles and Matt Striker, the crowd very quiet as Striker begins to speak
“Ladies and gentlemen we start night three on a sombre note. Ladies and gentlemen as you can see with these pictures, Randy Orton and Low-Ki were in a match last night and well much like Orton did to McGuinness, Low-Ki suffered the same fate. He was punt kicked in the head three times. Orton just didn’t care about anyone but himself, Low-Ki meanwhile was stretched out of the arena and taken to a medical facility where he has been since and the reports don’t look good. Initial reports suggest similar issues to Nigel McGuinness, a fractured jaw and whiplash to his neck and skull among other injuries. From what we know Low-Ki has been ruled out of action for the foreseeable future, at this difficult time Ring of Honor would like to wish a speedy recovery to Low-Ki and of course to Nigel McGuinness are thoughts and prayers are with you.”
The screen slowly fades to black as the opening package for Night Three begins, recapping all the events that have led us to this final night of wrestling action. The first two night of the anniversary PPV are highlighted as well, the two biggest matches of ROH are prominently featured in this package, Triple H going against Taz and the massive four way for the World Title as the package ends and we go right into the intro for the Night Three and into the capacity crowd of 8,500 whom are ready for perhaps one of the biggest nights in professional wrestling ever, we pan the crowd as we go down to Matt Striker, Joey Styles and Kevin Nash on commentary.
“Ladies and gentlemen this is what it all boils down to, tonight wrestlers will try and earn there way into Ring of Honor legends, tonight six matches will decide the fate or Ring of Honor and it’s future, we have been building up towards this main event for some time now and in just over two hours we will see it unfold before our eyes, tonight is going to be one hell of a night, Styles your thoughts about tonight”
“Many said it couldn’t be done, many have doubted ROH and everything it stands for and does, but look at us tonight, the last two nights have shown what we are capable off and tonight is no exception the grudge match between Triple H and Taz will be a spectacle to say the least but nothing is more bigger than the four way for the World Championship. But we want your opinions who do you think will win the four way main event tonight? There is a poll on the ROH website and just before the match we will tell you who you the fans think will win this match but Kevin Nash your thoughts on this weekend?”
“As you know I have been playing jokes and not really caring about this event but tonight is different, tonight the face of ROH could be changed forever, we have six matches on the card tonight and each one within itself could change the focus of the company. Ladies and Gentlemen this is night there of the 2nd year Anniversary Show and we are ready to rock and roll so lets send it to Bobby Cruise for the first match of this last night of action”
“Ladies and Gentlemen the opening contest of night three is scheduled for one fall and is a return grudge match from The Big Bang in February”
(Play Show/Sheamus)
Both Show and Sheamus are standing on opposite sides of the ring the crowd getting ready for this first match of the final night. The ref rings the bell and the crowd begin to cheer for both men.

Tatsu is seemingly dazed onto the outside as Guerrero goes outside the ring and looks under the ring and pulls out a ladder. He slides it back into the ring and sets the ladder up into the corner as Guerrero begins to climb the ladder but the referee is not seemingly doing anything as it seems the ref is just letting these two fight it out. Guerrero gets to the top of the ladder and jumps off attempting a corkscrew leg drop but Tatsu is able to grab Guerrero’s legs in mid air and rolls him over as he locks in modified one leg Boston crab to Guerrero.
Guerrero inches himself to the ropes but Tatsu realises this and pulls Guerrero back into the middle where Guerrero is just ripping and tearing trying to fight out of it, after about a minute being trapped in the submission Guerrero finally is able to roll through and kick away Tatsu.

Tatsu gets the shoulder up again as Guerrero is starting to get frustrated. Guerrero begins arguing with the referee about the count being slow as Tatsu gets back up and Guerrero turns around, Tatsu gets the head of Guerrero and runs to the turnbuckle looking as if he is going to hit the slice bread but as Shelly is in mid air Guerrero reverses the move as Shelley comes down Guerrero goes for the gory bomb but Tatsu fight out of it getting to his feet and running to the ropes but gets taken down with a dropsault from Guerrero who slowly gets to his feet and smiles slowly picks up Tatsu and lifts him onto his shoulders and takes Tatsu down with the gory bomb as Guerrero covers Tatsu for 1…2…NO!

“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships”

[Board Admin]

“ Ladies and Gentlemen it is now time for the main event and before we go to the match let us have a look at the poll we asked you to vote on earlier on whom you think will win this match, well lets have a look at the results, That is very surprising, 45% think that Christopher Daniels will win the World Championship here tonight, 35% going with Austin Aries to win the championship and 18% think that Tyler Black will win the championship. Only 2% think that Orton has any chance of retaining his championship, that is very interesting but before we go to the match, Matt Striker can you tell us the back story of the last few months leading up to this match.
“We can see that Orton has been champion since March of last year, he has the advantage from being in the most high profile of matches, retaining his championship against the likes of Taz, Douglas Williams, Low-Ki, Nigel McGuinness, Rob Van Dam, Jerry Lynn and his three opponents tonight to name a few. Orton though has only a 25% chance of winning this match; he doesn’t even have to be involved in the decision to lose his championship. Now looking at the challengers, both Aries and Daniels won big profile matches to face Randy Orton, Aries winning the Honor Rumble and faced Orton at Survival of The Fittest last October came close to winning the championship but was unsuccessful. At the same PPV Christopher Daniels outlasted five top wrestlers to be crowned the survivor of the fittest and got a chance for the championship at December’s Dethroned PPV. Again Daniels came close but was unsuccessful. The wild card in this match is Tyler Black, having lost both the Honor Rumble and Survival of the Fittest as the last man eliminated, Black though it was a conspiracy against him to keep him out of the championship hunt, Black however got under the skin of ROH management and was granted a title match at Big Bang but after all of the attacks on Aries and Daniels, they cost him the match, the following month Black won the Honor Rumble for a chance to face Randy Orton again. But ROH management decided that tonight all three men will get a chance to face Randy Orton and the winner will become champion. That is the tale of the tape so lets go to Bobby Cruise for our blockbuster main event of this entire weekend’s PPV”
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is the main event of the entire weekend’s PPV”
“Well as you can see there Christopher Daniels is beginning his long walk backstage to the entrance way, this man has overcome so much in the last two years, it was at this event in April 2009 that he came close to winning the World Championship, his rise to the top has been interesting to watch and tonight he gets to main event the stage again, but will he walk out as World Champion, only time will tell”
(Play Daniels)
Daniels gets a loud reaction from the crowd whom are cheering for him, he is psyched about this match as he approaches the ring, he gets onto the ring apron and motions to the crowd then getting into the ring and pointing at the ROH logo on the mat shouting to the camera that this is his time, his music dies down as we cut to backstage.
“Here comes Austin Aries leaving his locker room, all four men had there own separate locker room for this event, there is security around them at all times until they get to the ring, this is to stop any sneak attack before the match. Austin Aries used to tag team with Tyler Black, there team started to dissolve after Aries won the Honor Rumble in August 2010. and in January 2011 Tyler Black terminated the tag team, after winning the championships at Final Battle 2010; it was just under a year later that they lost the Tag Team Championships at Death Before Dishonor 2011. tonight after months of preparation and roadblocks Aries gets his chance to become a World Champion. But is it Aries’ time to become champion, only he can answer that.”
(Play Aries)
Aries comes out to a great reaction from the fans, we see Daniels applauding Aries showing him great respect. Aries slaps fans hands and gets into the ring shaking hands with Daniels in a show of respect, Aries music begins to die down as he runs the ropes getting his final mental preparations as we cut backstage.
“This man is the reason behind it all, Tyler Black has made a lot of enemies over the last year, he was at one time part of the best tag team in ROH with Austin Aries, those men had some amazing tag team matches but he threw it all away on jealousy of Aries winning the Honor Rumble in August 2010, since that day Tyler Black has never been the same, he has got under ROH managements skin and lost the Tag Team Championships on purpose. Black is now a very dangerous man on his own, tonight he finally gets his shot at the World Championship, it’s not the one on one match he thought it could have been but if he wins tonight then maybe his preaching and constant assaults could have been for the right reason”
(Play Black)
Tyler Black comes out to a huge jeer from the crowd, it doesn’t even phase Black though, he just walks past the fans just ignoring them getting into the ring and looking to start the match early but security holds him back and line across the ring making sure that no-one attacks the other before that bell rings. We cut backstage for the final time
“This is the target on all three men’s mind, the current Ring of Honor World Champion, leaving The Revolution Locker Room, Orton won the championship last year in March 2010, he has been champion for just over one full year, he has put together the Revolution a great faction that on many occasions has helped him keep his championship. Orton knows how to handle matches like this, he victory list read like a whose who of great wrestlers, tonight however this man is on his own, no Revolution is allowed in this match, he has the greatest chance of losing this championship in this match as well. The odds are stacked against this man but with his championship reign lasting over one year and counting; will tonight be the final night Orton has that championship?
(Play Orton)
Orton comes out stoically, he stops at the entrance ramp and breathes deeply and slowly begins to walk down the aisle way, the arena in a chorus of boos directed at Randy Orton who slowly keeps walking, focused on the match at hand. He gets to the ringside area and stops looking around the arena and then decides to slowly and methodically walk around the ring, Black, Aries and Daniels eyes follow Orton and lock eyes on the championship. Orton gets to the steps and slowly walks up them getting to the ring apron and looking at the crowd whom are booing him heavily. Orton slowly gets into the ring and lifts the championship belt up high as his music slowly fades away.
(Play Bell)

“Now introducing there opponent, standing to my right, he weighed in this morning at 245lbs and comes to us from St. Louis Missouri, he is the current reigning and defending Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton”
Orton slowly raises the belt high getting a loud jeer from the crowd but it doesn’t phase Orton who just stands there looking dead into the eyes of all three men as Orton gives the bell to Todd Sinclair who shows it too the crowd to officially show what this match is for. Sinclair then asks all four men to walk to the centre so he can check there ring gear to make sure no cheating or illegal items are hidden for use in the match, Sinclair explains the rules for the match and that there is no leeway, finally he asks all four men to shake hands with each other wishing them luck in the match and sending them to there corner, then calling for the bell to start the final match of the entire weekend’s PPV

The only man making any movement is Daniels on the outside but he can’t capitalise on the superkick from Black. Daniels slowly makes it to the ring apron and climbs the turnbuckle but Black falls into the top rope as he gets up causing Daniels to straddle the top turnbuckle. Black turns around and goes to kick Daniels in the skull but Daniels moves out the way but Black lands on his feet and slowly starts to climb up the turnbuckle and starts fighting out with Daniels. Both men are tussling for position on the top turnbuckle. Daniels looks like he has the advantage but Black comes back by raking the eyes and temporarily blinding Daniels.

Aries then slowly rolls into the ring and gets the crowd behind him running to the ropes going through the second rope with the heat seeking missile but Black moves as Aries goes headfirst into the steel barricade and falls down on the outside in a sickening heap. The crowd are chanting hold shit as Aries seemingly looks like he is knocked out. Black just has a look of shock on his face at what Aries just did, however he doesn’t waste to long as he climbs onto the ring apron but Daniels dropkicks Black off the ring apron and into the barricade sending Black to his knees. Daniels gets out of the ring and starts attacking Black lifting him up and down sternum first onto the barricade.

The crowd are behind Daniels telling him to injure Orton, Daniels responds to the crowd by smiling empathically. Daniels looks to attack Orton when Aries spears Daniels and with punches to the head takes him down, the crowd bewildered at what just happened but Aries then points to the World Championship and the crowd understand why he did it. Aries takes Orton and rolls him into the ring where Aries slowly climbs the turnbuckle to the top, the crowd behind Aries who jumps off the top rope going for the 450 splash but Orton gets his knees up as Aries just crashes and burns and rolls around on the mat holding his chest in pain.
All four men are beaten and battered lying on the floor outside and inside the ring, the crowd are chanting for Daniels and Aries to get up. No-one is chanting for Orton or Black. Orton is on his hands and knees as he falls over with one arm over the chest of Aries covering him for 1…2…NO! Aries kicks out; the crowd erupt in cheers as the match is still going. Orton is on his knees and holding his head in his hands wondering what to do next. He then realises as Orton slowly slithers to the corner and looks ready to go for the punt kick and runs across the ring looking to kick Aries head off but out of nowhere Orton is taken down with a sickening superkick from Black as both men fall down to the mat in exhaustion. The crowd actually slightly cheering Black for that move. But he cannot capitalise on that move due to exhaustion and the beat down he has received. We see Daniels just slowly dragging himself under the bottom rope and into the ring; all four men are now in the ring it’s just a waiting game to see who gets the advantage. Daniels gets to the corner and uses it to help himself to his feet. Daniels slowly climbs the turnbuckle and picks Black as his target jumping off with a frog splash and connects on Black covering him for 1…2…NO! Black on instinct alone is able to kick out. Daniels slowly makes it to his feet and picks up Black and throws him into the corner Daniels then picks Black up and onto the top turnbuckle. Daniels looks to climb up but Aries joins Daniels as both men hammer away at Black on the top turnbuckle, Black trying to keep both men down but it’s not working as they get the better of Black looking to go for a double team superplex from the top but Orton gets in between Aries and Daniels and grabs hold of them both pulling them down with a double powerbomb whilst they both take Black down with a double superplex In the tower of doom. The crowd applaud that combination move. Orton getting the best of it as he crawls over and covers Daniels for 1…2…NO! Daniels gets the shoulder up, Orton then crawls over and covers Aries for 1…2…NO! Aries gets his shoulder up. Orton is just trying desperately to get a cover anyway he can. Then he turns around and sees his World Championship by the timekeeper.
Orton slowly crawls under the bottom rope and stumbles to the timekeeper and snatches the World Championship from him, Orton then rolls back into the ring and to his feet waiting for one of the three men to get up. Daniels is the first to his feet and is taken down with the title belt to the skull. Black is next to his feet as Orton goes for another shot but Black ducks and rebounds off the ropes taking Orton down with a jumping lariat. Black then kips up to monstrous boos from the crowd. Black starting to gain momentum takes Orton down with a double sledge, then a scoop slam and a diving headbutt. Black takes his chance going to the top rope going for the phoenix 450 splash and hits Orton with it, Black covers Orton hooking the leg for 1…2…NO! Aries breaks the pinfall up saving the match again. Black makes it to his feet as does Aries, both men square off against each other, a huge stare down takes place almost similar to last night’s match between both men. They just stare at each other and then go to attack but Aries drop toe holds Black onto the second rope. Aries then gets the crowd behind him and runs to the ropes coming back and jumping onto Black’s back with both knees. Black stumbles to his feet as Aries picks Black up on his shoulders and down with the death valley driver. Aries waits for Black to get to his feet kicking him in the gut going for the brainbuster but Black counters and hits the gods last gift covering Aries for 1…2…NO! Daniels and Orton both break the cover up saving the match again.
Orton grabs Daniels and throws him into the ropes coming back Daniels flips over and rebounds off the ropes but is taken down with an RKO.

Black stumbles to his feet as Aries takes him down with a sidewalk slam and then a powerdrive elbow, covering Black for 1…2…NO! Black gets the shoulder up. Aries is on his knees just wondering what to do next as Orton kicks Aries in the chest knocking him down to the mat, Orton picks up Black and throws him into the corner and into the steel ring post pulling him back going for a cover for 1…2…NO! Aries grabs holds of Orton and flips over him with a bridge covering for 1…2…NO! Orton shows his strength pushing Aries up and turning him around going for the backslide but Aries counters taking Orton down with a snap DDT. All four men are down on the ground, the crowd chanting for either Daniels or Aries to get up. The referee just stands there waiting to count the pinfall or submission. Black is slowly crawling to the corner and falls out of the ring to the outside. Black slowly picks up the World Championship and looks at it with conviction. He then looks at the ring when Aries comes flying through the second rope and this time connects with the heat seeking missile taking Black down on the outside. Orton sees this and slides under the bottom rope and falls to the outside, going after Aries looking to through him into the ring post but Aries counters with a punch the gut going for a fameasser on the outside but Black attacks Aries from behind, all three men are beating each other when we see Daniels runs to the ropes springboarding off the top and landing on all three men with a shooting star press to a great reaction from the crowd.
Daniels is the first to move, he is crawling around trying to reach for something to pull himself up, using the timekeeper to get to his feet. Daniels stumbles over to Black who pulls him headfirst into the steel barricade knocking him down to his knees. Black goes over to Daniels is kicks him square in the gut taking him down on his back. Black picks up Daniels and throws him into the ring leaving his head under the bottom rope. Black take a few steps back and runs forward with a kick to the side of Daniel’s head, Daniels just slumps out of the ring down to the outside. Black holding onto the railings smiling evilly. Black turns around and sees Aries on the other side of the ring starting to move. Black runs around the ring looking to take down Aries but Aries counters with a back body drop over the barricade and onto the concrete and first few rows of fans. Aries catching his breath is attacked from behind by Orton who rams Aries spine first into the steel ring post and then throws him into the ring. Orton waits for Aries to get to his feet and drops him down with a European uppercut. Orton grabs the head of Aries and locks in the wrenching chinlock in the centre of the ring. Daniels and Black are on the outside as Orton just wrenches the hold tighter and tighter, the blood is making Aries vision impaired but he is trying to fight out of it. The crowd behind Aries at this point trying to get him back into the match but Orton is not letting up, locking in the body scissors now making it even harder for Aries to escape. We see Black slowly falling over the guard rail back into the ringside area and Daniels trying to pull himself into the ring but there so exhausted it’s taking all there might just to stand up. Orton has the hold still locked in not seeing Black or Daniels trying to get in the ring but then Aries starts biting on Orton’s hand just doing anything he can as Orton breaks the hold and the body scissors and gets to his feet.
Daniels is on the ring apron but kneeling down he is so ravaged with pain. Black is trying to pulls Daniels off but Daniels is kicking Black away however Black gets onto the ring apron and starts fighting with Daniels going back and forth but both men get there heads knocked together by Orton who pulls both men through the second rope holding onto there heads, Orton looks around the arena with this angered look in his eyes, Orton then shouts out to the crowd and drops both men down with the spike DDT. Orton instead of covering just slowly gets to his knees and calls for the end, banging his hands on the mat shouting for someone to get up, the crowd are in a chorus of boos over this, Orton just psyching himself up waiting for one of the men to get up. Black is the one who gets to his feet as Orton goes for the RKO and hits it but on the way down Aries springboards off the ropes with a moonsault onto Orton covering him for 1…2…NO! Orton gets the shoulder up. Aries is just lying on top of Orton all four men are in the ring just on the mat exhausted. No man is willing to give up. Aries is on his knees almost at the breaking point just wondering what in the hell needs to be done to get the victory. Then he touches his head witch has started to stop bleeding and he gets an idea. Aries rolls out of the ring and picks up the steel chair looking at it and seeing the dent it made with his head earlier in the match. Aries rolls back in with the chair and drops it to the mat, slowly picking up Randy Orton to his feet and shouting at him, kicking him in the gut and lifting him up high going for the brainbuster onto the steel chair but Orton counters spinning Aries around and drives him down with an RKO onto the steel chair. Orton stumbles to his feet and sees Daniels on his hands and knees, Orton with no time to think just runs across and punt kicks Daniels in the skull knocking him down and out. Orton just falls down and covers Black who is still dazed from the RKO for 1…2…NO! Black gets the shoulder up, the crowd slightly cheering for Black for kicking out.
All four men are just down on the mat exhausted, Aries is still bleeding and Daniels hasn’t moved since Orton has punt kicked him. Black is rubbing his face just trying to get some feeling in his head and hands. Orton is the man in control now just slowly getting to his feet and seeing the carnage all around the ring. Orton then slowly stumbles over and kneels down and picks up his World Championship belt. Orton then rises to his feet and turns around as Black goes for a superkick but Orton ducks and spins around grabbing the head of Black going for the RKO but Black counters pushing Orton away and on top of Aries. Orton stumbles to his feet as Black picks him up to his shoulders going for the firemans carry facebuster but Orton counters into a tornado DDT onto the World Championship. Orton doesn’t cover though as he slowly gets to his feet and calls for the end, foaming from the mouth waiting for Black to get to his feet, Black has been busted open from the World Championship. Orton sees this and begins to smile as he starts hammering away at the open wound of Black just splitting the wound even wider. Black with blood pouring down his face is trying to fight back but is finding it hard to see. Orton just attacks Black into the corner just beating him down. Orton comes from the corner getting booed so loudly that no-one watching can hear commentary. In a hope of getting more heat Orton does his old pose just stretching his arms right out and giving a cocky smile, the blood dripping from his hands. Orton looks to go and finish the job running at Black who kicks Orton in the face and then climbs the second rope jumping off with a spinning reverse elbow taking Orton down. Both men get to there feet with Orton going for a lariat but Black ducks and takes Orton down with a reverse spin out powerbomb. Black is starting to build up momentum running to the ropes and dropping the elbow on Orton covering him for 1…2…NO! Orton gets the shoulder up.
Black waists no time just wiping blood from his eyes, then picking up Orton going for a michinoku driver but Black changes his idea as he grabs the head of Orton going for the paroxysm but Orton battles out of it and runs to the ropes coming off them but gets caught with a powerslam as Orton lands hard on top of Daniels whom still hasn’t moved from the punt kick. Black is in control as he goes over to cover Orton but Aries from behind gets a side roll up with a handful of tights for 1…2…NO! Black gets the shoulder up. Aries is on his knees just gasping for air, as Black gets to his knees. Both men are just on there knees and look eyes to eye with each other. The stare down is very intense but then both men start attacking the other with stiff chops and punches just trying to beat the other man down. There beating each other down as both men somehow are fighting through the pain and use the other to get to there feet, both leaning on each other they lock eyes with each other. Black gets kicked in the gut as Aries looks around and sees the crowd cheering for him, Aries smiles and picks up Black looking to go for the brainbuster but Black counters landing on his feet and kicks Aries in the gut taking him down with the gods last gift covering Aries for 1…2…NO! Orton out of nowhere punt kicks Black in the head breaking the pinfall, Orton smiles and falls down to his knees and covers Black for 1…2…3!
The crowd just erupt in a chorus of boos as Randy Orton has defied the odds and retained his World Heavyweight Championship. Orton slowly rises to his feet and begins to smile as he is handed his World Heavyweight Championship. Orton slowly raises the belt high to the crowd whom are booing the hell out of him; the crowd are throwing things into the ring. We see members of The Revolution get into the ring and throw out Black, Daniels and Aries and start to celebrate with Orton raising him onto Lashley’s shoulders. Orton is on top of the world having been able to retain his championship. Orton raises his championship high to the crowd who still haven’t stopped booing him, since Orton won the match neither Striker or Styles has been able to speak they are shocked that Orton retained his championship as the end of show logo pops up and Orton is seen starting his celebration of this monumental victory as the cameras fade to black.

Night 3

We start with a somber tone selling the Punt as having taken out Lo-Ki. I don’t believe for a second that smarky crowd would have stayed silent for that, but I’m sure Striker did his best.

Nash being serious on commentary: Great!

Sheamus VS Big Show

A hell of a big man match. I was shocked when Sheamus kicked out of the chokeslam. And even more shocked when he was dropped with an electric chair drop. The sequence at the end where Big Show no sold the brogue kick and just pummeled his ass made you go “wow! Show’s a monster!” As we should do. He then hit both his finishers to finish Sheamus off. That showed that it took a lot to take Sheamus out and made Big Show look like a beast. Orton if I was you I wouldn’t retain tonight.

Tatsu VS Chavo

Sitout wheelbarrow facebuster = CTB! Yay Liger is even tribute in ROH hehe. This was a great cruiserweight Style match with move after move, these two pulling out all the stops. You didn’t forget to add in some psychology however which is good. In the end Chavo wins with the help of classic…wow! That is a shocker. After all Tatsu did over the last few months and last two nights he gets screwed out of his title. Chavo has automatic heat. Good stuff…….
Then he wins it back in an instant rematch. Ok…a good laugh on Chavo but it kinda made the title change pointless and makes you ask “why wouldn’t every ex champ do that?” It also negates a possible money rematch. Other than that I don’t mind the result, I just thought this was unnecessary.

Benoit VS….EDGE!!!

Hell yeah! What a way to introduce Edge and what a tribute considering what happened this week. These two always worked well together and this match was no exception. Chops, technical moves and reversals galor was this one. It also told a story which is important. Benoit kicked out of the spear! Again showing how much that title means to him, I mean Jesus he has been a great champion, not the least of which has been these last couple of nights. I liked how the match built to the finishers rather than using them as too many near falls. Once Benoit had the crossface it was over. Good showing for Edge and Benoit is the MAN.

Tag Team Titles: Londrick VS World’s Greatest Tag Team

Loved it! You really have a knack for Tag team wrestling. The spot of this match and perhaps the night was the brainbuster into the cutter from the top rope! Jesus! Technical wise this was the match of the night for some of those incredible moves and sequences alone. And a Tag title change in ROH, you don’t see that very. WGTT look like gold heading out as your new champions and boy does that reflect the real ROH right now. And London and Kendrick still look great for holding their own in this outstanding match. I think it’s between this match and mine for Tag match of the month, and while mind had more story and heat yours had way more moves and sequences in the match. Awesome.
I’ll take a time out for a second and say that the build up with The four guys in the ME throughout the night was great, effective and said a lot without saying anything.

Triple H VS Taz

This has been a years worth of build and boy has it been well crafted. Great booking going in I must say.
The belly to belly over the barricade set the tone for this one. Taz was here to kill Hunter and hell, so was the Game. Taz showed why he is the suplex king tonight, suplexing HHH everywhere with every type of suplex he could remember, even off the top rope! Taz kicking out of the Pedigree…man can anyone be beat with that move these days? Well this was the night to do it. Then Taz no sells the sledgehammer but Triple says “Fuck you!” And pedigrees him on the chair for the 3. Wow a surprising finish to say the least. ROH, it don’t look good for you guys.

Main Event Four Way

Great summarizing build up at the start here. You also used the backstage walking thing I did for my Mania main event, which always works to build up heat.

A superb four way that certainly takes match of the night. You had me guessing right up until the last second who would win. The Punt kick at the end after it all takes it and ORTON IS STILL THE CHAMP! Jesus this guy has been champion for a whole year and counting! Who can beat him because damn all these guys tried. The punt kick really is the killer move of the federation, taking everyone out and ending title match after title match. It also enhances the prestige for Orton to win clean…ish. As clean as you can get after a no DQ match with weapon, belt shot etc etc.

Overall that was a amazing end to an amazing three night event. Not a bad match on any of the show IMO and ended on the best match of the lot as it should have. Loved it and can’t wait for what is next…The Revolution are the kings of ROH!

[DM]

Shaemus vs. Big Show

Finally Shaemus is a monster again and this was a great opener, for two big men, they sure did move 'fast' enough and both of them looked dangerous. I really like how you used Show and that he wasn't an 'easy' task, I find it strange that Show used a chokeslam (which is his finishing move originally) to get the win. It was at a decent pace and Show is gunning for Orton again...I can't wait.

Tatsu vs. Guerrero

Damn this was a quick match, needless to say Tatsu vs. Tajiri was a better match overall out of his series but this was still pretty decent match up. Very fast paced though Tatsu sort of owned this match.......and then Chavo STEALS the fucking win! BULLSHIT! But..goddammit Chavo! Perfect use of a Guerrero being a cheater and all but jesus fuck man but THEN Tatsu says 'fuck that shit' and cashes in his rematch right there an then (Cena did that against Punk on Season one of NWA) however in this case, it's a face doing it and it's Tatsu retaining his belt....YES! Thank you! The Cheating Mexican lost! YAY! WIN!

Benoit vs. Edge

Well at this point I knew it was going to be Edge, you just picked him up and he just retired so this was no surprise. Sadly, Edge's record over Benoit is fucking good and I actually feared for Benoit's title reign because, hey, it's Edge. This was the BEST of Benoit's match series and this was a take from any of their previous matches and it's two canadians that can kick the shit out of each other. Due to it being Benoit and Edge, this was the match of the night for me again, for it being Benoit and Edge and you gave these two a LOT of fucking time, I think they had almost as much time as the World Title and that is perfect for this kind of title. Benoit is a beast, Edge's debut..and he taps out...grr...BUT I don't mind since Benoit is on a hot streak and gets a World Title Shot. That's ten millions hits and thumbs up guarenteed. Edge is in ROH (scary enough Karl released Edge then Edge retires) and I can't wait to see Edge vs. RKO.

London/Kendrick vs. WGTT

Hardy's 2.0 vs. WGTT, and this wasn't too bad of a match, I think after the high that was the Pure Heavyweight Title this almost felt like your 'cool off' match and knowing James and his fetish for Tag Teams, that's a lot to say. Either way this still was pretty good and neither team really took control, WGTT were the wrestling genius' in this match using a lot of double team moves and submission holds while L/K kept to a faster pace, though sadly they weren't able to get the win. WGTT become the new tag team champions, not sure if it's due to WGTT actually winning the belts or the fact you're a bit down on L/K though it doesn't change a thing that this was a good tag match, I still feel it was a cool down match.

Triple H vs. Tazz

Finally these two lock horns...match style at least. These two have been fueding for like...8 months or some shit, finally these two battle it out. Oh my god this was so much better than what WWE put out 12 years ago. I was actually very very VERY impressed with this match, I'm surprised the fucking arena wasn't stained with blood with these two. Tazz able to counter into a tazzmission, how the fuck H was able to survive. Then the shocker of the night, Triple H actually gets the win. Wow, Tazz has been dominate against him for months and H still is able to get the win complete with a rally of jeers. H FINALLY wins a match and actually...I'm happy with this. This was 2ND Match of the night right behind Benoit and Edge. God I want to see these two in a cage.

World Title Match

This was the biggest fucking match to read in the history of writing. All four of these guys just gave it 1000% at full speed. I think the real story in this match was Aries vs. Black II since Orton and Daniels was kind of in the background. Overall you really can't take anything away from this match, all four of them looked legit and once the match continued to carry on to about the 45 minute mark (Reading wise) Daniels grew a massive set of nuts and took over, I thought he was actually going to pull it off but then Aries quickly has the pin, I forgot about Orton then BAM The punk kick and Orton retains. Jesus fuck that makes him a 12 month one year champion, the only two men that can meet that is Punk's U.S. Title Reign and Bourne's Cruiserweight Reign. Orton is going to hold onto this belt for another 48 months at the rate he's going, it's a legitamnet champion and MUCH better than WWE's version of Randal Orton. This was the massive blow off and one hell of a cap off to a one year build, loved it loved it loved it...though Benoit Edge again took it for me. Orton is a god in the ring, legit, and I wonder now whom can take it away from him....Benoit...Oh yes...it will happen.


I got my monies worth that's for sure
