ROH: Fate of an Angel II

1. Bobby Dempsey & Grizzly Redwood vs. The House of Truth 5/10
Good match here definitely better than I thought it would be

2. Andy "Right Leg" Ridge vs. Mark Briscoe 4.5/10
It was an average match, I have not really been a huge fan of the trail series, because to me it just seems like glorified squash matches, especially this match, I felt Ridge did not get enough offense in there, especially facing a guy who is in a tag team. Ridge can be good in the future, but the only trial series match that was really any good was against Cabana.

3. Sara Del Rey vs. Jamilia Craft 2.5/10
I hate seeing these women squash matches, if you are going to be serious about a women’s division, then bring in good talent, I have no interest in seeing women squash matches.

4. Colt Cabana and El Generico vs. The All Night Express 6/10
This was a good match, and I wish it would have gotten more time. I really enjoyed Generico not being himself and just wanting to kill Titus and King, just not a fan of the ending though, especially after Survival of the Fittest where they both interfered in each other matches and now they do it again, just seems like overkill to me, if this was the only time they did it, I think it would have been better.

5. Kyle O'Reilly & Adam Cole vs. The Bravado Brothers 6/10
Enjoyable tag match here, I really enjoy watching Cole and O’Reilly and the Bravado Brothers did some nice things in the match

6. Homicide vs. Jay Briscoe 6.5/10
Definitely Homicide’s second best match since his return. I enjoyed this match, although I did not really care for the ending.

7. ROH World Tag Team Title Match: The Kings of Wrestling vs. Kevin Steen & Steve Corino 7/10
Very good match here I really enjoyed it. It was interesting seeing the Kings being the faces for once, but I thought everyone involved did a great job and this was probably my favorite match on the show.

8. ROH World Title Match: Roderick Strong vs. Christopher Daniels 7/10
I think the match went too long and was boring at points, but the action was pretty enjoyable throughout. Going in, I was expecting a lot more out of the match, but the match was still very good.

Overall: 6.5/10 Disappointing show for what looked like to be a pretty good card on paper, and especially for a show one of their biggest markets. The show was still enjoyable at parts, disappointing was the theme of this weekend, and I would not recommend this show. If you want to check out anything, I would recommend the Tag Title Match, but you could go without seeing anything and be fine.

None of those matches screamed MUST BUY to me at all. Live reports said the main event couldn't measure up.
 
#382 ·
How bad are they?
 
#383 ·
Mark's match was a dull one-sided fight, the SDR even moreso and it went to long, and also makes you wonder why they're bothering at all with her on the card if she's not going to do a competitive match and whoever wrote the report that said that Elgin is a future main-eventer in ROH is out of their damn mind. Between the botches and the guys involved it was terrible.

Watched SOTF tonight. Some quick thoughts:

- Edwards vs. Hero should definitely be watched. MOTN IIRC. Edwards looks like a world-beater when he's in the ring with guys like Hero. A completely different wrestler to when he's in there with guys like Dutt/Daivari.
- Michael Elgin really impressed me. I'd seen bits and bobs on youtube, before he came into ROH and didn't get what people saw in him but he carried himself with a real presence in the trios match. He looks like the kind of guy that will make a good tag team specialist, like a poor man's Anderson family member...if you will.
- Zach Gowen had a pretty good showing too. He has a bizarre moveset. He's managed to turn his one-leggedness into an advantage in that respect.
- Roddy just fades into the background sometimes, in matches like this. No charisma at all.
- Martini had the shiniest sunglasses ever in his pre-tape.
- ANX were pushed hard in this show. Big wins and were the main focus of the finals match.
- Kyle O'Reilly was awesome again and his match with Steen was another of Steen's shock great matches from the past year, from outside of his main feud. It's testament to how good of a worker Steen is that he can deliver so well despite being in terrible shape.
- The Steen-Generico angle was furthered.
- Grizzly Redwood had another good effort.
- Overall, the whole show hung together and one match flowed into the next, in the way that tournaments should, but it was just OK tbh. Pretty underwhelmed with it really. Was expecting more. Edwards getting hurt didn't help things. Crowd was pretty shit to boot. It was mostly the younger guys that delivered. The Nigel DVD bundled with it should make the release more tempting though, especially for new fans.

Hero/Edwards was good, but not something i'd say to go out of your way to watch. One of the better matches on this show.

Yeah, this was a entertaining show that flowed, however the quality of matches was weak. I was there live, and i understand why the crowd appeared like shit. I thought considering for the action in the ring, the crowd was pretty into the show. I really think Edwards should have just sat out on the main event, and had Hero advance or something.

I didn't even think there was a match worth 3.5 stars on this show. Right up there with Gold Rush, Civil Wafare, Pick your poison and Champions Challenge for worst show of the year. Even a bad ROH show, is still enjoyable though.

Mochizuki is cool,
COD was f`n great, the whole show everything was very fun to watch as most of the COD shows are, many surprises, but the main event sucked big time, lots of botches(even if there wasnt any botches the match would still horrible anyways), not much glass, Vortekz brought a weedwhacker and NO ONE used it, very pointless and i have to say this was the worst cage of death match since Wifebeater vs Pain at COD 3.
 
#391 ·
Well for the weekwacker they couldn't have used it anyway since Philly has strict rules on what can and can't be used for matches. Plus what were you expecting when the teams were made up of the likes of Brain Damage, Dysfunction and Devon Moore?

And CZW needs to figure out their production problems fast because the audio is all messed up where one guy's loud as hell and the other is barely hearable and whenever the cut to the side cameras it looks like fuzzy and awful. Great job changing production companies guys.

In regards to Fate of an Angel II, I have a somewhat controversial review on the roh boards (because I didn't drink the kool-aid) under the name SxECanadianFanSxE.

I ended up giving it a 56/100 and saying it was quite mediocre.

Show was plagued by production problems - commentary was off (one guy was extremely loud, other was almost unhearable), fuzzy cameras and the audio track several times got ahead of the matches. Plus the main event was a complete cluster and whoever decided that Drew Gulak should get promo time pre-Gage bank robbery should be fired. Crowd did pop for Excellent "piledriving" his mother though.

EVERYONE needs to get PWG's Seven.

A fun opener (yes, even though it features Malachi Jackson.) Then the following occurs: a *** debut, a ***3/4 "disappointment", a ***1/2 farewell, a ***1/2 one night only return, a ****3/4 title match (possibly *****), and a ****1/2 spectacle that I have no problems calling the Rock vs. Hogan of the indies for being such so unsubstantial yet so awesome. Would have been ***** easily if it didn't also represent some of the things I hate about pro wrestling. Even so, MUST SEE.
 
#398 ·
I assumed so, considering it also had Adam Cole and Zack Sabre Jr., but that still has to be the highest anyone has rated a Greg Excellent match.

Actually, the Soul Touchaz KOT match was the first time I ever watched Greg Excellent, so I had it in my head he didn't completely suck. But he does.

Also, star ratings for Seven, to accentuate superdupersonic's point (and also because I liked some things better):

Avalon/Jackson/Taylor vs. Gatson/Goodtime/LeRae: **3/4
Bonham vs. Cage: ****
Sabin vs. Tozawa: ***1/4
Lost vs. Sky: ****1/2
Danielson vs. Strong: ***1/2
Hero vs. Richards: ****1/2
Peligro Abejas! vs. Cutlers vs. Bucks: ****

Seriously get this show.

ROH: Survival of the Fittest 2010

Colt Cabana vs. Rhett Titus **1/4

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Grizzly Redwood **

Kevin Steen vs. Kyle O'Reilly ***

Adam Cole vs. Steve Corino *1/2

Eddie Edwards vs. Chris Hero ***1/4

Kenny King vs. El Generico **1/4

Homicide vs. Andy Ridge **3/4

Roderick Strong and The House of Truth vs. Christopher Daniels and The Briscoes ***1/2

Survival of the Fittest 2010 Finals ***

You know, despite this not being a very impressive show in regards to match quality I still thoroughly enjoyed watching it. There were lots of solid matches and did what it was supposed to: Put over Edwards, Daniels, ANX and Steen/Generico. I'd say it's worth a pick up if you're an ROH fan.
 
#403 ·
Well for that videowire two things:

1. I can't tell whether the Bravado Brothers promo was so bad it's good, or just bad.

2. Maybe Roddy should get Shane Hagadorn as a manager, because as much as I hate Hagadouche he's still cutting better promos then Strong.
 
#405 ·
Why the hell are the Bravado brothers getting promo time, does ROH really need them in the tag scene that much? Surely there are better teams than that. It doesn't help that they look like horses as well which makes it hard to take them seriously, but by that promo it seems they don't want to be taken seriously, which makes me wonder what the point in them is, apart from to job?
 
#406 ·
I think they are ROH academy guys. Right now the track record for the guys that came out of there isn't so great. Rhett Titus aside and it's downright horrible. If they hadn't been trained there I don't think we would be seeing very much of them at all.
