Just watched the Team Ambition/CC episode. Good stuff and the ME was a fun match. The double stomp/Guillotine is a pretty sick finisher for team ambition.
I haven't watched it since about episode 4 and it seems a lot better now they have got going.
DemBoys/HOT this week looks like a lot of fun.

What I HATED in the Ambition vs. C&C match was the moment where Kyle "accidentally" catches Davey in the DDT position(!), then Coleman superkicks him and Kyle goes down, nailing Davey with the DDT(!). What. A. Bull. That detail is completely super-duper fake and can't be taken seriously, and made the match a mindless, yet fun movie.
The rest of the episode ruled. I fucking loved the segment and interview with Grizz, it really made me a huge fan of his, he had such a tough life. And boy, Truth Martini was fucking insane on the mic, that man is pure gold.

 Oh God! I meant to talk about that spot, but you pretty much summed it up. That was ridiculously retarded. I actually face palmed, which I don't do a lot at wrestling lol. I can't stand that stuff unless it's in a comedy match, but in a super serious Davey match? No way. Another thing O'Reilly does that I absolutely hate is that double dragon screw. So fucking stupid.
But yeah, the rest of the show was really good and the match was a fun tv match.

That's a Rocky Romero spot. He's been doing it in Japan and Mexico for ages. See Wrestle Kingdom this year.

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread
Yeah, it's stupid when Romero does it as well, but at least he comes off as a slightly comedic wrestler on a lot of occasions.

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread
Didn't think that much of this weeks episode
Lethal and Bennett was alright but nothing mind blowing. I quite liked the finish though
Really enjoyed the Steen promo despite it not making that much progression. I really like the anarchy that Steen brings to ROH. Wrestling needs more characters that you know are going to create something destructive/interesting whenever they're on
Still not a fan of WGTT in ROH. The main was acceptable and added a bit more fire to the briscoes feud. I don't mind the feud continuing with the face heel dynamic reversed but I hope it doesn't go for more than a month or two. Crazy Mark Briscoe looked good
Next week should be great with Kyle/Eddie and HOT/Briscoes

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread
I thought 2/4/12 was another strong episode
- The opening recap of Final Battle and promo from Bennett did a good job of hyping the TV title match.
- As for the match itself I thought it was really good. I loved how they constantly countered each other showing just how well both men know each other after their numerous encounters. I have to say Bennett is a great heel, he has the cocky, young bastard gimmick down to a science. He finds ways to cheat in all of his matches but he stays competitive enough to look legit against his competition which is a good thing and this match was no different. I actually loved the strike exchange mid-match because in this situation it made sense because these guys have been at each others throats for months so they just wanted to lay into each other. It had a couple of nice near-falls at the end leading to what I thought was a nice creative ending.
- This feud between Edwards and O'Reilly is good in my opinion because it feels very natural like something that could actually happen. Their match should be really good
- Great video package from Final Battle about Steen. The following promo was really good. I hope they don't drop the ball on Steen's eventual title shot, the build for his inevitable clash is already getting going and anticipation is already rising
- Briscoes vs. HOT next episode should be good. Inside ROH did a good job of hyping a few matches and furthering the ANX/Young Bucks feud
- The Young Bucks and their immature goofball gimmick are really entertaining
- WGTT wasn't cringeworthy on the mic. I still wish Shelton Benjamin took speech class as a kid. Interesting having an impromptu title match. Of course it really wasn't a match but it was a solid brawl, great noticable heat between both teams

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread
ROH WRESTLING 2012.02.11:
-Eddie Edwards/Kyle O'Reilly: ***1/2. Really good, not as their GBH match, but still awesome. The finish was pretty weak but the post match segment was better, Cole and Edwards as a tag team sounds like a good idea for me. Can't wait for Eddie-Cole/Briscoes or Eddie-Cole/New American Wolves.
-Teven/Mondo: N/A. LOL on Steen's bite.
-ME; Dem Boys/HoT: ***1/4. Pretty good TV match, good that HoT won, wait for their rematch.
Overall Rating: Another great show.
