ROH presents FIRST BATTLE OF A NEW ERA
December 15, 2012
Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
Tonight at FIRST BATTLE we will crown our first ROH World Champion! An 8 man tournament will be held with the finals being a NO DQ match to determine a champion! Lets go to the ring for our first match.
Eddie Edwards vs Mike Mondo
In our first ever match Edwards and Mondo tore the house down. Mondo showed No Fear as he took it to Edwards at the start of the match but Eddie soon turned things around, and after wearing Mondo down enough (4 Tokens) hit him with a sweet tiger suplex to get the three count and advance to the next round.
Roderick Strong vs El Generico
Before this match Strong told Truth Martini that he did not want him at ringside and was going to win the ROH World Title on his own. Truth reluctantly stayed behind, but Roddy proved he didnt need Truth as he and Generico took it to each other. Eventually they went outside the ring and Generico got careless refusing to listen to the ref to get Strong back in the ring. Generico tossed Strong hard against the announce table and then nailed him with a nasty Yakuza Kick that sent Strong flying up and over the announce table and drawing a DQ from the ref. Hopefully Roddy will be in a condition to continue on in the tournament.
Jay Lethal vs Davey Richards
This was another hard hitting match, as Lethal and Richards left nothing to chance. They wailed away on each other each taking the momentum away at key points in the match. Lethal finally hit Davey with LETHAL INJECTION but Davey kicked out! After a few more minutes of back and forth Lethal hit another LETHAL INJECTION and this time Davey couldnt kick out. Jay Lethal advances in the tournament.
After the match Kyle O'Reilly hit the ring to help his mentor and partner. He then got in Lethal's face not liking the way Jay treated Davey. They suddenly started going at it and then Rhett Titus ran down to join in and help Lethal out. Davey finally got up and all four men went at it in a wild brawl. Security swarmed the ring to separate the four men when Nigel McGuinness came out and made the first match for ROH TV this coming weekend. In a first round match in a tournament for the ROH World Tag Team Titles, it will be The Young Wolves vs The New ANX!
Kevin Steen vs Rhino
This was a very quick match. Steen and Rhino just dont like each other and it showed as they started brawling right away and once they headed outside there was nothing the ref could do. He got in the middle of Steen and Rhino trying to separate them and get them back in the ring but Rhino shoved him out of the way and that automatically caused a DQ.
The Briscoe Brothers vs S.C.U.M
In non tournament action we had Mark and Jay Briscoe facing Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs. Dem Boys really took it to SCUM, and it wasnt long before The Zombie Princess fell to a DOUBLE FOOTBALL TACKLE and Mark got the pin.
Roderick Strong vs Eddie Edwards
Strong had sufficiently recovered from El Generico Yakuza Kick and was ready to go against Eddie Edwards. Strong used all the dirty tricks he had learned and put them to good use against edwards which frustrated Eddie enough that he made a crucial mistake and go caught in the STRONG HOLD. With no where to go Eddie was forced to tap out sending Roddy to the finals.
After the match Adam Cole hit the ring and got right in Strongs face about the match. Roddy just smiled and went to walk away. When Cole turned his back to tend to Edwards Roddy jumped him and they started going at it. This brought out Michael Elgin to help Strong out and Edwards then entered the fray. For the second time tonight security had to empty out and separate four men and again Nigel came out to make yet another tournament match for ROH TV. The House of Truth vs Edwards and Cole!
Kevin Steen vs Jay Lethal
Wow what a wicked match this was. Steen and Lethal were as stiff as we have ever seen them. They hit each other so hard I think teeth actually flew out. At one point Lethal was prime pickings (5 Tokens) and Steen hit an F-CINQ but Lethal kicked out! Lethal fought on but finally fell (7 Tokens) to the F-CINQ.
ROH World Heavyweight Title Match
Kevin Steen vs Roderick Strong
With no rest for the weary Strong bolted down to the ring to start the Title match and layed into Steen. With Steen worn down enough Roderick Strong was true to his word and cinched in the STRONG HOLD on Steen. Steen fought like a mad man but eventually had to tap and Roddy made good on his promise to win the ROH World Title on his own! Truth Martini ran down and celebrated with Roddy as the crowd booed. There was no denying though that Roderick Strong had earned the title, and he did it his way.
NEW ROH WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RODERICK STRONG
Thank you for joining us tonight and we will see you this coming saturday for ROH TV as we begin the World Tag Team Title Tournament. Goodnight!
