ROH : The Reboot

[Pariah]

Kinda surprised to see Moose knocked out in the opening round... Great job by Dijack...

Great seeing The Young Bucks advance to the semis...

And I'm totally stoked for that six-man tag match between The Kingdom and Elgin & War Machine... Snap! And Dalton vs. Hoyt should be superb...

Great stuff!

Nigel McGuinness, always on the lookout for talent, could be seen taking notes throughout the Inspire Pro portion of the show & seemed quite impressed, particularly with Lance Hoyt...

The ROH portion of the show opens with a wrestler who is no stranger to both Texas & Inspire Pro, as ACH renews his rivalry with The Decade's Adam Page...

ACH defeated Adam Page following BIG BANG ATTACK

Following the bell, as Page is adhering to the Code of Honor and shaking ACH's hand, BJ Whitmer comes to the ring to admonish him for doing so...

Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly (ReDragon) defeated Hanson & Raymond Rowe (War Machine) when Hanson tapped out to O'Reilly's ARMAGEDDON

The crowd, who are very familiar with Raymond Rowe (like ACH, an alumni of Inspire Pro) are not happy with the result...

BJ Whitmer makes his way to the ring (again) and cuts a promo, reinforcing the Decade's motive & purpose. Whitmer goes on to challenge ANYONE in the building who opposes the Decade's point of view, which leads to...

Texas' own Paul London emerges from the dressing room & is headed towards the ring! It looks like London is going to answer Whitmer's challenge!

BJ Whitmer defeated Paul London following WRIST CLUTCH EXPLODER
(Promoter's note - Well, that did NOT go as planned)

Nigel thanks the crowd for their support & announces that at least 1 member of the Inspire Pro roster WILL be invited to the upcoming "Future of Honor" tournament, where the winner will be awarded an ROH contract!

[Pariah]

Happy to see AJ Styles advance in the tournament for the big prize...

Always great to see Ricky Starks in action... And Whitmer's victory over London... How do you say 'WHAAAaaaaat?'

The closing main event would've been an unbelievable encounter... KRD meets Bullet Club... If that turns into a full-blown rivalry, the fans are in for some sweet action... Excellent work!

[lucifer]

Thanks for the comments Pariah! Your fed is always a fun read too!

[Blehschmidt]

Really liking this one so far! Enjoying your tournaments so far, glad to see Silas Young and the ACH/Sydal team advancing.

But having recently seen Cedric Alexander live and spent some time talking to him, I have become a huge fan, so HELL YEAH on him picking up the Huge win over Austin Aries!!

Good Stuff Man! Digging it so far!

[bookerbill]

Solid action so far. Aries has really seemed to struggle out of the gate. Alexander's win was huge.
