Tonight…it’s a 6 man tag match with the House of Truth and Roderick Strong taking on Christopher Daniels and the Briscoe Brothers, live from the home of extreme wrestling, Philadelphia PA!
Match #1 The Super Smash Brothers (Player Uno and Player Dos) vs The Kings of Wrestling (Claudio Castignoli and Chris Hero).
Another appearance by the Super Smash Bros.! Kings of Wrestling come out and shake each others hand before the match. Chris Hero and Player Dos start off the action. Hero has never looked better, his ring work has really improved since teaming up with Castignoli. Couple of nice exchanges by these two…The Smash Brothers look impressive once again. The announcer makes mention that Castignoli is the “strongest man in Ring of Honor” and his deadlift gutwrench suplex followed by a gorilla press slam on big, fat Player Uno is evidence of that. Impressive. In the end, we get a nice burst of offense off the hot tag from Player Dos but it’s not enough. The Kings are just too strong. Superplex/Moonsault combo seals the win for the Kings.
Up next is a recap of the title match at Glory by Honor between Haas & Benjamin and The Kings of Wrestling. During this interview, Shelton looks especially awkward. It’s like he can’t make eye contact with the camera.
Match #2 Rachel Summerlynn vs Daizee Haze
Stout blond bombshell Summerlynn must outweigh Daizee by 40 lbs. Nice match but Summerlynns inexperience is evident and I have to question the booking as the physical disparity between the two makes for a somewhat stilted match. Gory Special by Summerlynn looks like it should have killed Haze, but somehow she’s up and delivers a German suplex on her much larger opponent. Nice finish. Not sure how Daizee got her up like that….
In the back we have an nice promo by Christopher Daniels, who was always pretty good with the mic. He says that since Truth Martini arrived, Roderick strong has been a changed man, changed for the worse. Good one. Next up are the Briscoes. I would not want to fight the Briscoes. They look like semi-retarded home invaders. They mumble something about drinking beers with Roderick Strong. I highly doubt he's hanging out with these two degenerates in real life. Should be entertaining tonight...
Next is a brief recap of the Kevin Steen/El Generico feud. During this recap they cut away to highlights of their match at Glory by Honor and during a suicide dive shot we clearly have Ryan peeping in the back. Well done, sir, you got on TV! Steen cuts a promo where he does his best "crazy guy" and talks to Genericos mask, saying things about how he was ugly and sick underneath the mask and how he killed Generico and saved the world. I am a BIG Kevin Steen fan but he's gonna have to work on being a heel because he is getting very little heat and his scruffy teddy bear look is not doing him any favors. Samoa Joe he is not. Shave your head or something, dude!
Next week is a "pick your poison" match were basically Steen and Generico get to book each others matches. Generico gets Davey Richards in 2 weeks which should be entertaining.
Match #3- Steve Corino vs Purple Tights (they actually call him that, he's some jobber who got his intro cut short by Kevin Steen)
Steen does commentary on a live mic throughout the match, I'm sure it's meant to be funny but it is actually pretty annoying; he's just not really that funny. It comes off as forced. Corino basically just takes it to the jobber: at one point he puts him in an abdominal stretch and pokes his thumb up his ass three times. Ouch. There is almost no heat on this match and it's dead quiet. Which is too bad because Corino looks great. They are going to have to do something crazy to get the crowd into Steen and Corino as major heels. Corino pins Purple Tights and goes to jab him with a fork but Colt Cabana comes out for the save. Corino dares Cabana to get in the ring and Generico runs out. All four men stand off and I am already bored with this feud.
Interview with the House of Truth and Roderick Strong. Truth Martini does a little piece about he's the only truth in wrestling blah blah. His voice is really weird; not anything like you'd think it would sound by looking at him. Kinda like Sylvester Stallone crossed with Randy Savage.
Match #4- The House of Truth with Roderick Strong vs Christopher Daniels and the Briscoe Brothers.
First, let me just say that the House of Truth is growing on me. I especially like Josh Raymond's work and he and Christian Able have really good chemistry. In any event this was a pretty good match with alot of back and forth action; classic tag team shit. High points of the match were Mark Briscoe's ridiculous moonsault from the top rope to the floor just narrowly missing the railing. He did it with absolutely no hesitation, too, which makes it all the more crazy. Dude that big should not be pulling off that move. Josh Raymond also pulled off a shooting star press to a standing opponent; never seen that before. Match ends when Truth Martini trips Chris Daniels and allows Roderick Strong to get the Gutbuster. This isn't over, House of Truth!!
