Lethal vs. Generico II is pretty obvious for that show if the first match is broadcast beforehand.

Chikara: King of Trios 2011 Night 2


Archibald Peck's Open Challenge/Duel:
Archibald Peck w/Veronica vs. Colt Cabana

Hilarious. Made me realize how much Peck is being wasted with his ROH gimmick in the Embassy. They had some really great comedy spots had me laughing the whole time. Very fun opener.
**3/4


King of Trios Quarterfinal Match:

F.I.S.T. vs. Team Osaka Pro

Icarus being insecure about his tattoo because everyone makes fun of it and hesitating to take off his ring jacket is hilarious. This was better than anything they had on Night 1. The segment with F.I.S.T. being in control of the match and isolating Ulitmate Spider was really well done as he was the most of over guy on Osaka's team. After the hot tag there was this awesome segment where F.I.S.T looked to be in danger of losing the match for about 5 minutes or so. The spots were crazy and the match was more than just them doing crazy spots to each other. Great match.
****1/4


Rey de Voladores Elimination Match:

Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Marshe Rockett vs. Pinkie Sanchez vs. El Generico

This was incredible. Pinkie Sanchez is perfect in this one. The way he cheats is despicable, the crowd hates him, and the BDK ref makes it all the much better as you really get the feeling that he's going to steal the match. The other three guys in the match were all likable and are always entertaining to watch so when Pinkie constantly takes cheap shots and eliminates them one by one the crowd just gets more and more pissed. Having Generico and Pinkie as the last two in the ring was the best possible decision as well. On par with the previous match.
****1/4


King of Trios Quarterfinal:

The Osirian Portal vs. Team Dragon Gate

This reminded me a lot of Dragon Gate matches that they have over in Japan. And that's not a good thing at all. This is one of those indy matches where they just do moves for a really long time. Not I can live with this if they throw in some really coll stuff into the match but that wasn't really the case her. They kept the same pace and for the most part everything they did was forgettable. My least favorite tournament match so far. Maybe I missed something really good happening during the 5 minutes that I fell asleep while watching the match.
*3/4

I really liked that Archibald Peck wanted to know if he was the new NWA Champion on commentary.


Arik Cannon vs. Eddie Kingston


Perfect change of pace; we got a very entertaining, short heavyweight brawl. It was only 7 minutes long but they didn't waste a second, within a minute of the opening bell Kingston took a nasty move on the floor and proceeded to sell his shoulder for the entire match and after it ended (for all I know he could have actually injured it as he even sold it in the post match tribute to Larry Sweeney). Nice little match.
**3/4


King of Trios Quarterfinal:
The Colony vs. BDK

I don't follow Chikara as regularly as I should but between what they did in the ring, what I actually know about the feud between, the prematch promo, and the commentary I was really able to appreciate all the back story between these two teams. Very entertaining stuff and the way they interwove all the storylines into the match was really impressive.
***1/4


Rey de Voladores Elimination Match:

Frightmare vs. The Amazing Red vs. Obariyon vs. The 1-2-3 Kid

Waltman trying to be a good guy but constantly reverting to being a heel was awesome. He had the crowd cheering, he would do something dastardly, apologize, and the crowd would cheer him again. Rest of the match was good as well.
***1/4


King of Trios Quaterfinal:
Mike Quackenbush, Manami Toyota, and Jigsaw vs. Team Michinoku Pro

Only in Chikara do you get to see Toyota and Dick Togo in the ring together. Watching Togo proceed to heel it up and beat the shit out of Manami made the moment ever more amazing and it created a clear heel team in the match. In fact Dick Togo being a... well... dick towards Toyota added a lot to the match as the crowd was strongly against Michinoku Pro and his actions really pissed off Jigsaw and Quackenbush. I did feel though that Toyota should have got some more offense in but that's really the only complaint that I can think of. I know for sure that I would pay money to ever see her wrestle Dick Togo after seeing this match. Good to see that they ended things on a high note, it wasn't the best match of the night but it was really close.
****

From top to bottom this was just an incredible show. There was one match that didn't deliver but everything was as good or better than it looked on paper. Really excited to see night 3. The fact that I forgot which team wins the thing should make this even more enjoyable.

The Kingston comp is definitely one of the better ones they've done, off the top of my head the only recent one that is better is Mike Quackenbush Lightning Strikes Volume two.

Oh and:

random match i came across...

So the new ROH website is up and running!

Nice to finally have a proper roster page with bios and photos and all that stuff. Interesting that Rhino is listed as being on the roster, do we have a return date for him yet?

One pretty cool thing is on the Videos page, you can access a couple preview videos from recent shows; more in-depth teasers for the DVDs. They're showing a 2min clip from Cabana vs Hero for 'No Escape', for example. Little touches like that make a very nice addition to the site and aid general user-friendliness.

The notion of the 'Ringside Member' has been detailed and it sounds pretty awesome. $7.99 a month, $19.99 a quarter or $59.99 a year. Ringside Members get access to the ROH video library, with classic ROH matches, full DVDs and Best Of compilations. You'll also be able to watch the ROH TV show on a Monday rather than the Thursday its scheduled to go up for non-paying customers. And you get 15% off in the store, on top of any discounts/sales currently on. I'm kinda sold, it sounds like a damn good deal to me.

Other thoughts on the site so far?

Rhino was at DBD.

Website looks pretty cool, a lot better than before. I hope the graphics on the main page are better though. E.g. that picture on the main page advertising the SBG show with WGTT on it looks horrible, as did that SOTF graphic they had a few days ago. Looked amateur.

I'm about 80% through CZW's Best of the Best IX (second time I'm watching this show though), so far it's been pretty good. Unfortunately Drew Blood got injured a couple minutes into his match with Egotistico Fantastico. Shiima Xion made his CZW debut at this show and he had some great spots imo. Sabian and Devon Moore both had good matches too.

I am still dissapointed with the DJ Hyde vs Thumbtack Jack vs Danny Havoc vs Jon Moxley match. When you see those names you'd expect a great ultraviolent match, but first of all it only went about 7 minutes and secondly there was only about 1 good spot, the rest were just small things that have been done a million time.

Other then that match I think every match has been enjoyable, especially Chris Halo vs Rich Swann (I thought it said Chris Hero so I was wondering where the hell he was before I checked out the match card again fpalm). This match got pretty loud "boring" chants, even though they were literally 1 minute into the match (I thought it was ridiculous as the match wasn't even boring, not even after 1 minute into the match..)

That match was doomed from the beginning. Why those two were thrown out there when Swann was green and Halo was basically a student is beyond me. Botching a couple of the opening moves clearly threw them off what they planned, the match was basically moves and it didn't help that my grandma throws more believable elbow shots then Halo. Considering that crowd I thought the fans were kind to them.
