Currently researching for 2 ROH bootlegs

[barnestormer]

Just updating everybody as to my current project for Ring of Honor bootlegs. I'm currently researching 2 wrestlers who've already appeared recently in the first round of the ROH Top Prospect tournament, "Rock & Roll" Mike Sydal and Silas Young. I haven't assigned any levels to any of the moves I've seen from them in either the tournament or in YouTube videos I've downloaded that they've appeared in, but so far this is what I've come up with:

"ROCK & ROLL" MIKE SYDAL Height: 5' 10" Weight: 180 lbs. St. Louis, MO Follows the Code of Honor: Yes WRESTLING MOVES PERFORMED - waistlock - arm drag - arm bar - forearm smash - gut punch - ddt - leg kick - dropkick - reverse neck breaker - hurricanrana - moonsault - standing moonsault - standing side headlock - enzuigiri - chin breaker - Shackler's Revenge - Say Hello to Heaven - EXPLOSION MOONSAULT

SILAS YOUNG Height: 6' 0" Weight: 220 lbs. Milwaukee, WI Follows the Code of Honor: Yes WRESTLING MOVES PERFORMED - knee to gut - knife edge chop - standing side headlock - clubbing forearm - head butt - turnbuckle smash - handman's ddt - snap mare - mule kick - rear chinlock - waistlock - back breaker - lariat - full nelson bomb - STOCK BLOCK (or is it STOCK LOCK)

Shackler's Revenge: a Muta Lock with Floating Bridge Say Hello to Heaven: a top rope moonsault EXPLOSION MOONSAULT: standing Tuck Moonsault (Special move names courtesy of Mike Sydal's Pro Wrestling Wikia Page. The information is old, but it's the best I can find right now.)

STOCK BLOCK (or STOCK LOCK): a full nelson variation of the camel clutch where Silas is off to one side of his opponent as he applies the hold. (When Kevin Kelly announced the move, it sounded as if he was calling it the STOCK BLOCK, but it he may have been saying STOCK LOCK. I'm not too sure. I recorded the show on DVD, but if anybody else has a copy of the show and would like to check to see which was the correct pronunciation, please let me know.

I'm most likely going to work on Mike's card first, because I'm going to use Jon Knapik's ECW 2009 version of Matt "Evan Bourne" Sydal and team him with his brother in my Ring of Respect fed. Therefore, I'm going to try and model his defense to be slightly worse than the ones for Matt/Evan to account for the fact that Matt/Evan has more experience than Mike.
Any thoughts, guys?

There was a version of Sydal in the 3XW set Chad Olson, Eric K, and I did in 2011. It was in the archives here, but it was on Megaupload and is now gone. Anyway, here is the fully LOW/ROH compatible version (using the conversion chart Chad devised), followed by the original.

I like the Mike Sydal 3XW card. He does well as an up and comer in my 3XW fed and makes regular appearances at my Chikara and ROH shows. I believe Chad, Eric and Mark did a great job on that card, and the whole 3XW set.

Thanks, Mark. I didn't realize you had done one already. I can just concentrate on Silas Young, then. Just one question, though. What's the Bananarama?

[marktaggart]

Bananarama is a pump handle facebuster.

[barnestormer]

Based upon his first round match in the Top Prospect tournament with Adam Page and an ROH on HDNet video on YouTube in which he faced Austin Aries, this is what I've been able to come up with so far for Silas Young:

SILAS YOUNG	Height: 6' 0" Weight: 220lbs. Milwaukee, WI CODE OF HONOR?: Yes
Level 1 Offense	Level 1 Defense
1. punch to gut - 1 2. snap mare - 1 3. clubbing forearm - 2 4. rear chinlock - 2 (pw) 5. standing side headlock - 2 (pw) 6. turnbuckle smash - 2 (ch B)	1. dazed - 1 (tag) 2. SILAS YOUNG - 1 3. dazed - 1 4. dazed - 1 (tag) 5. hurt - 2 6. SILAS YOUNG - 2
Level 2 Offense	Level 2 Defense
1. knife edge chop - 2 2. mule kick - 2 3. into the turnbuckle (c) 4. stomp - 2 5. head scissors - 3 6. hangman's ddt - 3	1. SILAS YOUNG - 2 2. hurt - 2 3. hurt - 2 (tag) 4. hurt - 2 5. SILAS YOUNG - 1 6. dazed - 1
Level 3 Offense	Level 3 Defense
1. clothesline - 2 2. out of the ring (c) 3. tilt-a-whirl gutbuster - 3 (ch G) 4. backbreaker - 3 5. full nelson bomb - 3 6. STOCK LOCK (+2)	1. hurt - 2 2. PIN 6 (3) 3. down - 3 4. hurt - 2 5. down - 3 (lv) 6. hurt - 2
Ropes -- B Turnbuckle -- B Ring -- B Deathjump -- C Disqualification -- 5	Agility +1 Power -1 Cage 4

STOCK LOCK: a full nelson variation of the camel clutch in which Silas sits off to the side of his opponent as he applies the hold

I went back to the DVD recording I made of the show. playing and re-winding whenever Kevin Kelly mentioned the STOCK LOCK, and was finally able to determine that that's what he was calling it.

Thoughts?
