Only a week late. Hopefully I can watch this week's episode tonight and write it up
Michael Bennett destroyed Brutal Bob
-this was a no brainer. The repackaging of Mike Bennett continues. Gone is Brutal Bob, gone is the Prodigy moniker, gone is the long hair, gone appears to be the whole Hollywood bit. they seem to be going with a more hard-nosed guy in the vein of Austin or something (only hopefully not as annoying). I am all for it. I never hated Bennett, but I never cared about him either. He signed his ROH contract, which should mean he is going to be a player in the world title picture. I don't know if the rumors of him leaving were ever true or not, but if they were, staying makes sense from a career perspective. TNA would have no idea what to do with him, and he is not good enough to make an impact in WWE yet. Give him some time in ROH, let him work his way to the top and see what he can do. Also, Cheeseburger decided to help Bob and got a piledriver for his efforts. I really hope they just go ahead and drop the Bennett/Cheeseburger thing, Bennett will gain nothing at all from it.
Mschif beat Bonesaw Brook
- Brook was terrible. MsChif had a new finisher, some sort of face plant from the corner or something. I don't know. THe match was terrible. I know MsChif is capable of a lot more, I hope ROH brings in some capable women soon
Kevin Steen, Michael Elgin & Tamaso Ciamap beat the American Wolves & BJ Whitmer
- Great match, started with some comedy spots that were great. Sometimes it is nice to just see a well-worked clean match. Elgin looked like a beast again, this guy has to get the title sooner rather than later I would think. I think we could see Elgin, Bennett and Cole in the final four pretty easily. Someone must have reminded Davey about selling and jobbing since he took the pin clean. Great match
Other Stuff
- Silas Young got some promo time. That makes me happy. I like Silas, I would love to see him get worked into the TV title mix. Plus, he is a dead ringer for Bill Cowher so that is always fun
