- Open with another recap of the SCUM formation and then Nigel's wankery "we will fight this war" reply from last week. Meh
- Michael Elgin vs. Bill Cowher. Ok not really, it is Silas Young, but damn he looks like Cowher. Really good match between the two. Corky on commentary (I seriously don't know his name) said they had faced off in a 2/3 falls match that went to an hour time limit. Wonder when that was? That would probably be a fun match to watch. Elgin wins, and continues to be a beast, but I think Young looked good in this match and can certainly have a place in the ROH mid-card
- Charlie Haas comes out and acts like a Haashole. He puts Shelton down, saying he had "gone on to something higher" or something like that, without actually saying he had gone to WWE (is that still a rumor? I really don't know). Haas challenges everyone in the back, which brings out Grizzly Redwood. Haas beats him in short order with the Haas of Pain (possibly the least painful looking submission hold ever) but doesn't break the hold, which brings out the returning, and Sop's favorite, Mike Mondo to chase Haas off
<commercial>
- Red Hot Veda Scott is in the ring talking to Mondo and Grizzly when SCUM storms the ring (without Steen.......hmmm) they take out Mondo and Redwood, then take Veda "hostage" as the locker room empties. Corino - who now appears to be the SCUM spokesman - says all they want is matches next week. Nigel agrees, so next week its all SCUM vs. ROH matches. They let Veda go, and order is restored
- Matt Hardy vs. Adam Cole - Good match here. I know Hardy is essentially worthless, but they are using him right, and he can still work a match, just not exceptionally well. I did notice his knees must be shot, he gets off the mat funny, not like most people would. Anyway, good match between these two, it was supposed to be for the TV title, but Cole dropped the title to Matt Taven, so there was nothing on the line. Cole won by DQ when Rhino and the rest of SCUM (again, without Steen......hmmm) attacked. The show ended with the rest of ROH storming the ring and chasing SCUM off
Nothing spectacular, but a good show this week. Seemed a little overdone on the drama around SCUM, but I can live with that if we get a compelling story out of it and not Aces & Eights
