RoH: Empire State Showdown

[Carnage]

BJ Whitmer vs Dan Maff

A rematch from Do or Die and IMO a LOT better, much more flow to this match and they didnt just throw each other into the gaurdrails for half the match. Good Stiffness and wrestling and a fast, fun pace. Excellent match

Rating: ***

Scramble Match
The OutKast Killahs vs Dunn and Marcos vs Don Juan and Fast Eddie vs Alex Shelly and Jimmy Jacobs

Absolute PURE FUN, this match is one of the most entertaining in ROH history and is well wrestled as well. Shelly and Jacobs need to be booked on EVERY RoH show

Rating : ***1/2 (would be more, but it was short...and a scramble)

Christopher Daniels vs John Walters

This match was good but towards the end Walters kind of gave up on the body part he had been working over on Daniels (his left knee). I was expecting to see Daniels get put in Walters Sharshooter for the almost victory, but it wasnt to be. LOTS of fantastic near falls and Daniels totally sold the leg and did a great job of working over Walters lower back through the whole match. Pure Wrestling greatness

Rating: ****

RoH Tag Team Title Match
The Carnage Crew vs Special K

Im partial to the CC but i LOVED this match, i heard it wasnt very good and that it was short...but it was at LEAST fifteen minutes long and really made both teams look good. Towards the begining there were some ALMOST botched spots but both teams recovered and the match was real great and Carnage Crew played to the crowd very well while Izzie and Dixie Bumped there asses off. One of the Crews best matches, and thats from someone who thinks theyve had a lot of those

Rating: ***

More to come...

Have you watched this all the way thru yet? I thought it was a pretty underrated show.

I went ahead and watched Joe vs Homicide already and i loved it, except for the finish. I thought it was ten times better than there Do Or Die Match. The rest of the show im watching either later on tonight or tommorow

Cheater~! That's like buying a book and reading the last chapter first!

I really enjoyed the Joe/Cide match as well. I was OK with the finish although it wasn't great (the finish for DOD was kinda screwy as well with all the distractions). I REALLY liked Corino vs. Punk although I only watched it that one time.

Xavier vs Sabin

Good match, although nothing really standout from either man. I was a little disappointed as ive been really starting to dig both guys work as of late, but they still delivered a good fast paced match. My Problem with it is it was to short, and there wasnt too much in it that was really exciting or compelling. Still ten times better than anything on Smackdown of late though

Rating: **3/4

Steve Corino vs CM Punk

The Pre-match stuff and post match promos are both GOLD and absolutely some of the best stuff in years. Ive really starting seeing the joy in watching Steve Corino cut a Promo (i think he has the best RoH Promo in history at the end of Wrath of the Racket). The Match itself was GREAT with both men trying to one up each other throughout. One of the most fun matches in RoH history, and a very good wrestling match to boot

Rating: ***3/4

John Walters vs Justin Credible vs Jimmy Rave vs Colt Cabana

I heard this was pretty bad, but once again i was suprised. All four men did a good job of keeping this match intresting and at a quick pace. My only problem was that it was too short and the finish came out of nowhere, although i was happy to see Walters get his first win

Rating: **1/2

Homicide vs Samoa Joe

What a FIGHT! I loved this match and as i said to Ki i think its BETTER than there Do or Die match that a lot of people think is so amazing. This match has hard hitting action, brawling, and some technical wrestling thrown in as well. Once again my only problem is the finish, and not because it didnt look Real...it looked TOO real. An excellent main event!

Rating: ****

Overall: Id say this is one of my favorite Shows in RoH History right up there with Night of Grudges, Do Or Die and Beating the Odds. Every single match is worth watching and the backstage antics, like Colt cabana interviewing Dan Maff, Steve Corinos promo are all entertaining and FUN
