by Josh McCrohon @JoshMcCrohon57Time for a cheeky slice of ROH! Let’s get into it.
The Run-Down: Bully Ray starts off the show and says ROH is now all about thriller and not about filler! *Intro* Match #1 - SOCAL Uncensored (Scorpio Sky & Frankie Kazarian) vs. The Young Bucks SOCAL Uncensored are out first with The Young Bucks out next. The Young Bucks take out Kazarian and then take out Sky. The Young Bucks are one of the BEST Tag Teams in Tag Team wrestling today, there is simply no doubt about that! Cody comes out to the stage and applauds, then moves to commentary for some bizarre reason, why not?! Matt Jackson Corkscrew Stunners Sky which looks amazing! He tags in his brother Nick who takes care of Kazarian who, interesting note, was a member of Bullet Club for about a month! Kazarian takes out both Bucks and Slingshot DDTs Nick onto the apron, THERE IS A REASON WHY HE IS CURRENTLY NUMBER ONE ON OUR STAR OF THE SHOW SEGMENT! Sky follows suit and takes out Matt. The Young Bucks both hit individual superkicks on both opponents and then hit a double on Sky. Nick Jackson takes out both members before they hit the 5 Star Meltzer Driver on Scorpio Sky for the win. Match Rating: 8/10 After the match, Daniels attacks the Bucks but Adam Page makes the save. Cody takes a while to get into the ring after he says he’s going. Match #2 - Kenny King (c) vs. Silas Young (ROH Television Championship Match) This is the mainevent, which is strange as ROH episodes usually features 3 matches but it’s fine; this is going to be great! The challenger, Kenny King enters first. Professional wrestling’s last real man is out next. The match is quite even to start off with. Beer City Bruiser & Brian distract Kenny, but the new enforcer Bully Ray kicks them out. Silas Young takes advantage of a distracted King, but King eventually takes control. The match continues to be great as expected and both men are still looking good. Kenny King is having a fantastic match against Young, who is a little tired looking, but Kenny King probably does tire people out a lot. King delivers a great Spinebuster. The pair counter each other’s finishing moves with unique reversals. Kenny King eventually gets a roll-up from out of nowhere for the win! I for one, I didn’t see that coming! Holy crap. Match Rating: 9/10 My Thoughts: Quite ironic how Bully Ray said: “Thriller and no filler” but this episode felt more filler than Thriller... it’s The Rating System from WORST to BEST: Motor Sh***y Machine Guns TK OK Ryan Josh “The Goods” Goods A-Jay-Zing This wasn’t necessarily a BAD show, but if you compare it to the past few months, then you’ll see that this wasn’t up to the standards. This show was still decent and would probably give it more than a 5/10, maybe 6.5! However, this week’s episode gets Josh “The Goods” Goods. Star Of The Show: It’s time for the newest segment of the show, which is Star of the Show; this was last week’s leaderboard: 1st: Frankie Kazarian (3) 2nd: Adam Page (2) 3rd: Jay Lethal (1) In 3rd place and gaining 1 point are The Young Bucks. Yes, they are two people but I refuse to give Matt & Nick their own rankings as, if I’m being brutally honest, I still can’t tell the two apart. You wouldn’t give Jedward their own ranking, would you? Probably not as they’re not wrestlers but it’s the same thing! ANYWAY, the Young Bucks had a great match against SOCAL Uncensored this week and deserve a mention. In 2nd place, gaining 2 points, is Frankie Kazarian. Jesus Christ. The man was first place last week and now he’s getting a further 2 points! I think he put on a better performance than his partner Scorpio Sky, who had a great performance in his own right, but it just wasn’t as good as Kazarian. And finally in first place - which gets a whopping 3 points - is new TV Champion, Kenneth King! Kenny King had a brilliant match in the mainevent against Silas Young for the TV title, a match which I really thought Young would win, but didn’t. Kenny King was the much better wrestler in the match and I’m glad he’s champion again. 1st: Frankie Kazarian (5) 2nd: Kenny King (3) 3rd: Adam Page (2) 4th: The Young Bucks & Jay Lethal (1) We’re 2 weeks in, and look at the leaderboard now! Kazarian climbing the ladder even higher, but I’m 100% sure that Page will overtake King next week as he has a match against Christopher Daniels, which promises to be barnstormer! The show next week is pretty stacked; there’s Marty Scurll & Martinez vs. Castle & Lethal. I’m sure there’s another match but there’s one thing for certain: all the wrestlers are battling for number one on the leaderboard! NB: I’d also like to clarify what happens when individuals who are part of team, fight as individuals and get a point. So let’s say Nick Jackson wrestles as a single next week and gets 2 points, that will be added to the Young Bucks’ ranking. This will be the same for; The Briscoes The Young Bucks The Dawgs Considerable: This week’s considerable is: Kenny King. He has won back the TV title, are you happy with this? Where does he go from here? What was the point in him losing the belt? Comments are closed.
