I am going to try to do these every week, and maybe even take notes when I watch the show rather than try to remember when I drunkenly watched the show
- Adrenaline Rush (ACH & Tadarius) d. 3.0 (Some Canadians we are supposed to believe are not jobbers)
ACH and Tadarius can be a very good team, this match really didn't show that though. It was kind of sloppy and a lot of meh. Also, they have the worst entrance music in wrestling. Part of the problem might have been 3.0 though. Good enough for what it was.
- Silas Young d. Adam Page & QT Marshall to earn a spot in the ROH Title tourney
I am a Silas Young fan, for whatever reason I just dig the guy, I would actually love to see him pushed as the TV champ at some point. Page is good enough, and Marshall is there. Wonder where the Barrister was? I guess the idea of pushing them as a team is over
- Forever Hooliganz (Ricky Romero & Alex Kozlov) d. Red Dragon to win the ROH tag titles
This was a really good match, and I was shocked the Hooliganz won the titles. O'Reily and Fish are damn good, and the Hooliganz looked great too. I would like to see some three way matches with the Wolves over the tag titles. Since ROH says they are going to stress the tag division during the world title tournament, this should happen.
Other stuff
-is there any way the world title tourney ends in anything other than Briscoe/Steen? It really feels like it is setting up that way,which would kind of be a disappointment. I think they could take this opportunity to push Elgin or Cole and see how they do
The Phillies are everything I hoped the Mets would be - a team that plays their fucking asses off for all 27 outs. They're never out of a game. Solly 10/20/09
Adam Cole vs. Mark Briscoe Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt Tommaso Ciampa vs. Silas Young Michael Bennett vs. BJ Whitmer Karl Anderson vs. ACH Michael Elgin vs. Paul London Roderick Strong vs. Matt Taven Kevin Steen vs. Brian Kendrick
Predictions:
Cole over whoever he faces (I heard Briscoe is out) Lethal over Dutt Ciampa over Young Bennett over Whitmer Anderson over ACH Elgin over London Strong over Taven Steen over Kendrick
Round 2: Cole vs. Lethal Ciampa vs. Bennett Anderson vs. Elgin Strong vs. Steen
Prediction: Cole over Lethal via some nefarious "accident" Bennett over Ciampa (I think Bennett is in line for a big push here) Elgin over Anderson (could be a great match here) Steen over Strong
Semi-Finals Cole vs. Bennett Elgin vs. Steen
Prediction: Cole over Bennett (I do think Bennett will look great, but if Cole sticks around, this could also be the start for something for him) Elgin over Steen (Steen beat Elgin before, I think Elgin gets the win back)
Finals Cole vs. Elgin
I could see Cole completing the heel turn and cheating to beat Elgin. No matter how this turns out, ROH could be in good shape with Cole, Elgin and Bennett all seemingly primed to move into the main event. Now, they just have to not let their contracts run out
