I have not been keeping up my end of my blog responsibilites. So I'm here to make amends with 2 weeks worth of Ring of Honor on HD Net!
Opening last weeks show is Grizzly Redwood. A Double comes out an interrupts; he asks if Grizzly can help him out in tonight's lumberjack match seeing as he is the littlest lumberjack. Grizzly says he could never violate the lumberjack code. So A Double lays him out and says we all make choices and Delirious has to live with the choices he has made.
First match: Rhett Titus w/ Austin Aries vs Christopher Daniels. Aries is ringside smoking a pipe. Priceless! Pretty clean match...it looks like Rhett is being given a bigger roll, which is cool, because he's actually a pretty good wrestler. He does almost kill himself with a botched huracanrana mid-match. Aries tries to distract Daniels by lighting his pipe on the ring apron but it doesn't work. Daniels with the Best Moonsault Ever and its over.
Match #2: The House of Truth (Josh Reymond and Christian Abel) vs Ricky Reyes and Aiden Chambers (bums). Josh Reymond is really crusty...he looks like he should play guitar for the New York Dolls. Short match...House of Truth dominate and win
We have an interview with Davey Richards with Jim Cornett asking him if he's staying or going. Richards delivers a rambling shoot talking about his personal hardships. Very long story short: he met a girl, decides to stay, wrestling is in his blood. They must have thrown him a boatload of money because everything I read was that he was done. This is good because an argument could be made that he's now taken the "best in the world" title from Bryan Danielson.
Match #3 American Wolves (Richards and Eddie Edwards) vs the Super Smash Brothers (Player Uno and Player Dos). The Wolves are real professionals: they made the Smash Brothers look absolutely fantastic. Lotta big spots in this one, most by the Smash Brothers...moonsault off the apron, reverse huracanrana, couple cool tag team moves. Eddie Edwards eventually catches Player Uno with a single leg crab for the win. Nice match.
Match #4 Delirious vs Austin Aries in a lumberjack match
Pretty standard stuff from these two...nice chop exchange but as usual A Double leaves the ring ALOT. Eventually Rhett Titus has a run in and gives Austin the edge. Big throatbreaker and it's over. Lumberjacks are all brawling! We gotta go!!
