Im headed over to this as well. Flying tomorrow, back monday. Couldnt afford front row, but will be row 3 for both nights. This weekend is going to be amazing, if for no other reason - The Briscoes have 2 matches. Add the fact that its Joes last weekend, and we are on for a cracker. Not to mention comedy match of the century between Cabana and Delirious.
Strong Vs PAC, Rave Vs McGuinness and Delirious Vs Sydal are three great matches potentially also.
Back to lurk mode for me!

Well my 100th post may as well be a long one...
What a weekend! I really didn't think this doubleshot would be on par with the UK shows last year, but they really blew them out of the water. I haven't been to sleep yet, I'm still buzzing from the show last night, it's gotta be an early contender for show of the year. incredible stuff.
The first show started with Davey and Homicide. I'm really glad this was booked first. It wasn't a tremendous match but was good to get the crowd going. Davey was over big time as a heel, as part of the No Remorse Corps with Roddy Strong. He was getting the "Flan-ders" (well "Da-vey"!!) chant and he played up to the crowd well. Homicide was just Homicide, always going to go down well. Julius Smokes at ringside is so good, I don't know how his voice held out with the amount of shouting he was doing. The match was OK but Homicide was always going to win, and was always going to give him the Cop Killa to finish. It was pretty sweet seeing that move live.
The Shimmer match was ok, Danger is still learning the ropes but del Ray is terrific, she has the look and the ability and I can see her signing a developmental WWE contract before too long. Del Ray won the match but her and Danger were later challenged to a tag match for the following night by Britain's top females, Jetta (as in the car I suppose) and Eden Black.
The Jimmy's vs Colt and BJ was average, a little bit short and not violent enough for my liking. The crowd loved Colt once again, but they weren't really into the match as a whole. Jacobs picked up the victory after a top rope Contra Code on BJ.
Next was Sydal and Delirious 2/3 Falls. Delirious was as much fun as I thought he would be and he and Sydal have great chemistry together. Sydal was playing the role of cocky heel and cheated his way to victory.
After intermission the show went full throttle and never never eased up for the remainder. Strong and Pac had an excellent match. This was the first time I had seen Pac but he lived up to the hype. Roddy dominated for the opening, but when the match spilled to the outside Pac shone. He hit a ridiculous twisting Shooting Star Press off the top to the outside, over the guardrails and hit some other thing I couldn't even begin to describe. Roddy got it back in the ring and eventually got the win with the Gibson Driver to retain the now World FIP title.
I still can't believe this happened, but the Briscoe's dropped the titles after a week, just like what happened to them in NOAH. This match was easily as good, if not better than the Briscoe's outings in England the last time, and considering they stole the weekend the last time, that's saying something. Doi and SHINGO are awesome together and it's going to be fascinating to see what happens now leading up to the Japan shows. The really good thing about this is it means Doi will be around more often. The Briscoe's then agreed to fight each other the following night. So much for the European tag team, but no one wanted to see Storm and Fleisch!!
Onto the main event. The place nearly erupted for Nigel's entrance, but once the Godzilla intro hit the noise was deafening. These two guys had a really hard hitting match as you would expect. Joe hit a Muscle Buster off the apron to the outside, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I thought Nigel was dead after it (OK, maybe just slight hyperbole). Nigel had to be escorted to the back until Joe called him back and demanded he fight on. Nigel did and they exchanged blow after blow until Joe picked up the win with another Muscle Buster. Joe gave a great speech after saying he is leaving the company in good hands, completely putting Nigel over.
Fozzy, I was chatting to them Welsh guys in the Grafton (£15 in, free drinks all night!!!) after, cool guys! It was great meeting Joe and Cide but they didn't hang around too long. The Briscoe's, Pac, Sydal, Roddy and a few others stayed til closing time. Pac and Sydal are both really cool guys, Pac is only 20 too :eek: I also got to meet Gregh from the ROH boards, the man is somewhat of a legend and held a party on the Friday for 20 or so people and picked up the tab. He's offered to put a few of us up for next years WrestleMania weekend in Florida. I'm going to start saving now!
Night two opened with the best comedy match I've ever seen between Colt and Delirious. Colt did Delirious' routine when the bell rang, which scared Delirious. "gjoirhjeahjteihjpthatsmygimmickdsafjroihte" he said! Pure comedy gold. Delirious picked up the win with a roll up.
The women's tag match was good, and I was glad to hear a USA chant going. Del Ray picked up the win with a Teddy Hart-esque cradle DDT.
BJ and Jacobs then came out of nowhere and had a really incredible brawl. Jacobs dived off the balcony and they most of the match in the middle of the crowd. It really got the adrenaline flowing. BJ got busted open and Jacobs, the sick ****, smeared the blood all over himself. BJ eventually won with a Brain Buster on the ramp.
Pac and Sydal was great. They chain wrestled for much of the start and their quickness was remarkable. Then they took to the air. Pac hit a phoenix splash off the second rope, it was crazy! Sydal won though with the Sydal Press.
Mark vs Jay was a technical masterpiece. It was tough because their was no face or heel but the boys really pulled out all the stops. Their chemistry together is amazing and they, once again, stole the show.
SHINGO and Doi vs the NRC was brilliant too. Davey and Roddy are great together. They hit a sweet powerbomb into a Backcracker combo which looked so painful. I kinda knew the Dragon Gate guys would win but the NRC had so many near falls that I began to question it. Doi won it with a facebuster off the top. The tag champs are looking really good!
Rave and Nigel was tremendous. Nigel was carrying a groin injury and really was barely able to walk, but he still pulled out the kin of performance that has me convinced he will be the next ROH champ. Rave took some beating including two BIG spots on the guardrail. Nigel won with a lariat much to the delight of the crowd. Rave though got a great reception after, I doubt he ever thought he would get a "Thank you Jimmy" chant but he did and I'm glad for him, he always puts in a great effort but never gets the credit for it.
Joe got the streamer treatment as he came out and in the opening minute he was clearly very emotional (at least he didn't blubber like a little girl like Punk did
). Once Smokes started heckling him however, he picked up his game and he and Cide had a great match, a brilliant way to end a brilliant tenure with the company. Joe won with a Muscle Buster off the second rope. He gave a real classy speech after the match and I can safely say that everyone else in the building was as hoarse as I was after chanting JOE JOE JOE. A great end to another great weekend of wrestling.
It's the end of an era, but the beginning of so much more for the company that no one thought would last. ROH is moving in a very ambitious direction and it will go from strength to strength in the future. They have the WrestleMania triple shot coming up soon which features another Dragon Gate 6 Man, then the big shows over in Japan and all I can say is fair play and good luck to Gabe, Cary and everyone involved.
I told ya it would be a long post, now I'm going to bed!0 -

Mother***********!
On a sidenote, rather than make a thread called ROH in Japan, I thought I'd use this one.
The first 5 NOAH names announced for the ROH show are current ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima, Naomichi Marufuji, KENTA, Go Shiosaki & Ricky Marvin. Yes, Ricky Marvin.0 -
