[6.0] "The opener tis the shenanigan vs. meat & potatoes, and as each minute passed, (no Yano singles match should go over five, ) I became increasingly nauseous. The stupid schmiel Kelly had the nerve to introduce two letters, a D & a Q, that simply don't exist in T Yano's wrestling universe. Up next is a match between two bandaged men of whom one might think is a styles clash, D Lee (rt shoulder) & B Fish (ribs courtesy of AP, ) but for all the selling of their injuries, I enjoyed this strange contest. DL's tope suicida is shinkansen fast and his form, arching his back so his head & hands are quivering into BF like a missle, is fantastic. BF did a credible job selling as lifting manuevers were seemingly eliminated from his offensive repertoire yet when he did finally try, the attempt to lift DL proved so painful that he had to stop all offensive movement allowing DL to La Magistral him for the victory. He who is Ewww spoke about the tick-tock until his return after almost a year of ROH inactivity; noone missed ya Taven save for the rats who think your sheen has appeal. Granted, though, if a team is debuting, a company has high hopes for its leader, and that leader happens to be from the area the company is taping from, then certainly that leader and his team should be put over. And to build credibility they should pin the company's dominant faction. So I don't dislike nor disrespect the booking... but Matt F'N Taven? ! Ewwwwww Taven got the pin on MJ after a VM top-rope sentan. 5. 75"
[7.0] "Elgin and Yano was fantastic, and I love Yano in ROH because he isn't able to pull off the turnbuckle pad spot that he's famous for. Dragon Lee and Bobby Fish was great and sets up the Final Battle match very well. The first round match for the Trios Tag Title was fine. I don't like the new incarnation of the Kingdom but keeping BC out of the title spot was a good move. It should've been another time to do that, but I guess the Kingdom needed to be solidified as a force to be reckoned with. They're just not believable right now."
