Last Saturday ROH presented one of
the best pure wrestling shows ever seen.
It featured five matches over three
stars (Spanky vs. Paul London, Doug
Williams vs. Jay Briscoe, Jody Fleisch
vs. Jonny Storm, AJ Styles vs. Chris
Daniels and Spanky vs. Jody Fliesch)
and three matches over four stars (Doug
Williams vs. American Dragon, Low Ki
vs. The Amazing Red and AJ Styles vs.
Jerry Lynn). If you think this is just
hype, check out the reviews on ProWrestlingTorch.com,
WrestlingObserver.com and any of the
message boards out there. This was pure,
athletic wrestling in the Lucha, American,
Japanese and European styles at its
best. The videotape and DVD of the June
22nd "Road To The Title" show
are now available for pre-order at RFVideo.com.
The show featured four tournaments
to determine the four men in the ROH
title match on July 27th. Results saw:
Tournament A: Spanky defeated Paul
London; Jody Fliesch beat Jonny Storm;
Spanky beat Fleisch.
Tournament B: Christopher Daniels,
who introduced his new group The Prophecy
with Simply Luscious as the first member,
beat Scoot Andrews; AJ Styles beat Jerry
Lynn; Daniels beat Styles.
Tournament C: Doug Williams beat Jay
Briscoe; American Dragon beat Bio-Hazard;
Williams beat Dragon.
Tournament D: Low Ki knocked out Prince
Nana; The Amazing Red beat Xavier; Low
Ki beat Red.
Non-tournament action saw Sumie Sakai
beat Simply Luscious. Tag team mayhem
saw Dunn & Marcos, Da Hit Squad,
Divine Storm, SAT, Christopher Street
Connection with Allison Danger, Natural
Born Sinners, Loc & Devito all battle
it out in hardcore chaos that included
hubcaps, tables, blood, high-flying,
stiff action, spanking and more! The
ROH tag team scene is now in total chaos.
After the final match, the best new
play-by-play guy in the business Donny
B tried to make ROH's big announcement
only to be cut off by Christopher Daniels.
Spanky then punched Daniels allowing
Donny B to announce that starting this
September Ring Of Honor "High Impact
TV" will be seen every week on
WGTW Channel 48 in Philadelphia.
The ceremony to unveil the belt was
also interrupted by Daniels. This started
a four-way brawl between Spanky, Daniels,
Ki and Williams that ended with the
belt never being shown and Ki almost
killing Daniels when he caught him in
a dragon sleeper that he wouldn't release.
Daniels and Ki ended up being carried
to the back still locked in the hold.
