Nigel McGuinness gobs off for over 5 minutes about not being champion. Interview with Tyler Black & Bryan Danielson on what they thought about his comments. Great, ROH has become WWE as well now? It only took them 6 weeks to decide they also want to be a WWE clone? F**king distaster!
Mixed Tag Match - Jimmy Jacobs & MsChif vs Daizee Haze & Delirious. The women were probably the best thing about this match but it wasn't very good at all. Not much in the way of actual action either, Haze took the win for her team. It looked like they weren't very sure how to work this one at all, personally I'd have rather seen Haze & MsChif go 1 on 1 it would have been a much better match.
Talking heads segment advertising Claudio Castagnoli vs Brent Albright coming up next week. So why the f**k are they wasting airtime this week?
Orange Cassidy & Leslie Butterscotch vs The American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards). Cassidy & Butterscotch were already in the ring and hadn't been announced and the announcer hadn't even finished introducing the Wolves when they jumped their opponants before the bell had rung. Cassidy is clearly out of favour in ROH as this is his 2nd match and he wasn't introduced in either one, he also took a beatdown before the match legally got started.
Cassidy sold a VERY long and very boring beatdown from Edwards & Richards before Butterscotch finally got tagged in and was well out of his depth from the second he entered the ring, Richards took the win with a bridging suplex off Butterscotch. Kind of a pointless squash match really as it didn't get The American Wolves over 1 iota and it didnt help either Cassidy or Butterscotch establish themselves either. The American Wolves are very talented but need decent opposition to get them over.

Kyle Durden interviews Ric Flair backstage, Flair keeps saying "2nd week" as if anyone is going to be fooled that he's at the same tv taping because anyone who knows anything about ROH knows they tape at least 2 weeks worth of shows in 1 go. Video of Colt Cabana yakking (so WWE finally fired him?) before being interupted by Prince Nana & Dirty Ernie Osiris (it really is about time someone told Homeless Jimmy this guy is trying to cash in on his gimmick).
#1 Contenders Match, Tyler Black vs Bryan Danielson. Ok this is another main event where they are trying to fill 20+ minutes with entertaining wrestling. Since week one of ROH on HDNET, wrestlers have tried and failed to make a match filled with decent wrestling so I expect no different tonight even with a title shot on the line.
The first 15 minutes or so was very dull, all mat based technical wrestling with lots of holds, reverses and locks. All at a really slow pace and not very exciting at all, neither guy appeared to have his heart involved in this (you'd think there'd be a bit of emotion shown at a title shot) but quite frankly they both looked bored as hell and were going through the motions.

Clearly the ref gave some kind of signal and things picked up with less than 3 mins of tv time remaining, Black went up for what looked an attempt at a reverse Moonsault & Danielson pushed him off the top turnbuckle into the first row and then springboarded himself off the top rope onto Black (check the guys in the Wrestlemania & Santino shirts marking out like motherf**kers), neither guy beat the count (they count to 20 in ROH, how weird is that?) so the ref called it a double count out (pretty pointless as someone has to get the title shot) and I'm not exactly sure what match the fans were watching with their "that was awesome" chant as it was possibly the dullest 20 minute match ever with a REALLY s**t non-finish.
Either there will be a rubber match to this or Jerry Lynn will say he'll fight them both in a 3 way dance. Its also pretty weird that after 7 weeks HDNET are yet to offer a PPV from ROH either, whats the score there then?
