Ring of Honor’s Gabe Saplosky posted the following results earlier today on ROHwrestling.com:
1) YAMATO defeated Eddie Edwards in what might be Eddie’s best match in ROH (not taking anything away from the Roderick Strong one at the Hammerstein)
2) Austin Aries defeated Ryo Saito in another good match in about 13 minutes. Afterwards, Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black attacked Aries and Jacobs put him out with the End Time. Jacobs then basically said that The Age Of The Fall would cause chaos in Japan.
3) Larry Sweeney was irate that Edwards lost and went off on the Japanese fans, earning their boos. Sweeney then called out Roderick Strong to wrestle Davey Richards. Strong defeated Richards in 25 minutes in a very hot match. These two tore the house down and the fans were really into it. Strong had some words for Kensuke Sasaki on the mic after the contest to build up tomorrow’s match. Davey is a monster now.
4) El Generico scored a huge win as he teamed with Shingo & Dragon Kid to defeat Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino & BxB Hulk in about 22 minutes. This was awesome and right up there with all the Dragon Gate six mans. I just sat in the crowd and really enjoyed this one as I love this style of match. Hulk and Shingo had some wicked exchanges and everyone was on in this one.
5) Bryan Danielson defeated ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness in a non-title match in about 22 minutes. This started as a very technical match and built into a hard-hitting match. The fans really loved it. Another great match in the series between these two. After the bout, Bryan got on the mic and said he just defeated the ROH World Champion and tomorrow he will go after the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title.
6) Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black defeated Jay & Mark Briscoe to retain the ROH World Tag Team Titles. This match was a total brawl that got some “holy s***” and “ROH” chants from the Japanese fans. The final three matches all contrasted each other perfectly.
I will go on record right now and say that this show was better than both of our shows last year in Japan. The crowd got more enthusiastic as the show went on and they all seemed to have a really good time. Differ Ariake is a great place for wrestling. I was fortunate to be able to sit in the crowd for several matches and just enjoy the matches. Samurai TV did a great job and I think you’ll really dig these DVDs when they come out. The people here are all very nice. So far this has been an amazing trip and it should only get better tomorrow. I have eaten a lot of sushi and I plan to eat more. Right now I’m kind of tired so if I think of anymore details I’ll jump back on with them. Thanks for reading this.
