Second, I'd like to thank some random people for inspiration. SEH for the ROH diary he did a while back, with fan-based results. JSin, for his compelling storylines that inspired me to do this diary. And lastly, I wanna thank MB35 for getting me into this about 4 years ago.

Newswire- Coimplete Week
4/3- The upcoming weekend events in New York and Edison have 2 things in common, the ROH World Title is on the line at both of them, and Jysuhin Lyger will be on hand at both of them. Night one, Danielson defends against Colt Cabana. The winner of that goes onto Night Two to defend against none other than Jyushin 'Thunder' Lyger.
4/3- Jimmy Rave and Alex Shelley will be facing Austin Aries and Roderick Strong on Night One in New York in a non-title Fight Without Honor. Issues between these two stables are getting to the boiling point. Steel Cage Warfare didn't solve it, maybe the most brutal match in ROH history will.
4/3- Homicide is focused on Night Two this weekend, when he takes on Austin Aries for #1 contendership at the ROH Title. However, Night One Homicide takes on Matt Sydal.
4/3- Jyushin Lyger's Night One appearance will see him teaming with Samoa Joe to take on CM Punk and a partner of Punk's choosing. We'll see who that is later this week.
4/4- Colt Cabana is hyped about his match Friday against Bryan Danielson. Colt says the ROH belt is coming back to Chicago.
4/4- Low-Ki will take on Jack Evans in a special challenge match on Night One of Weekend of Thunder Two.
4/4- Jimmy Rave, should he be alive for Night Two, will face Roderick Strong in a grudge match.
4/4- Sonjay Dutt will make his ROH Debut against Delerious on Night One, and will challenge for the Pure Title on Night Two.

Chad Collyer def. Claudio Castagnoli with the Texas Cloverleaf. (6:12) Nice opener to start the Weekend of Thunder. The crowd was white hot for Lyger's arrival, and this match only added to it. It's two of ROH's best undercarders going at it, and they're both very entertaining. My personal opinion, though, is Collyer shouldn't be heel. His heel turn was bashing Ace Steel with a chair. Claudio showed signs of a win, but Collyer low-blowed him and locked him in the Texas Cloverleaf for the win. Ace Steel ran in and brawled with Colyler post-match.
Punk's Mystery Partner Allison Danger is standing backstage with Christopher Daniels. They are approached by CM Punk, who asks Daniels to be his partner, Daniels accepts. Punk walks off. Daniels looks at the camera and says, "Joe, tonight, my biggest regret is taken from Ring of Honor."
Sonjay Dutt def. Delerious with the Hindu Press. (12:10) I liked this match, for the most part. The crowd was hot for Sonjay's ROH debut, and Delerious' hopeful win. Sonjay took Delerious into a fun, fast paced, pseudo-epic contest. Delerious got the upper hand, but Sonjay went into super-lucha mode and brought the momentum back towards him. Sonjay hit a springboard hurricanrana, but Delerious kicked out. Sonjay gained the upper hand again and hit the Hindu Press for the win. Nigel came out and said, "Tomorrow in Edison, sunshine, I take you out of ROH."
Homicide def. Matt Sydal with the Lariat. (21:47) Nice match to follow-up Sonjay's debut. Sydal played the prominent baby-face that we were all supposed to get behind. Homicide played the badass main-event heel. This in no way was a squash, becuase Sydal got a hellacious amount of offense in. Homicide had Julius Smokes distract the ref, while Homicide low blowed Sydal. The Cop Killa was escaped by Sydal, but Homicide quickly hit the Lariat for the win.
The Briscoes def. Dunn and Marcos with the Jay Driver. (4:18) A squash match from hell to cap off the first half of the show. It wasn't anything too special, but it did the job. Dunn got the most in ring time out of the Ring Crew Express, but that helped nothing. The Briscoes hit the Jay Driver and it was pretty much over. The Briscoes got on the mike and challenged Generation Next to a match on the 100th show.
Intermission Promo 1: Gen Next Accepts The Challenge Gen Next is in the back, and they tell the Briscoes that they accept the challenge. Rave and Shelley jump them, leading to the start of the Fight Without Honor!
Fight Without Honor: Austin Aries and Roderick Strong def. Shelley and Rave when Aries hit a 450 off the ladder onto Shelley. (35:10) Great match here, they went virtually everywhere in the building, and the match got wild. Lots of chairs, tables, even thumbtacks met Jimmy Rave's back. Rave hit the Rave Clash off the apron through a table on Roderick, isolating Aries. Aries hit the brainbuster onto tacks to Rave, and fought Shelley for the last 5 minutes. Aries hit the 450 for the win. Abyss and Nana ran out post-match and beat up Gen Next
Jack Evans def. Low-Ki (11:00) with the 630 Not bad here. Evans isn't the most technically sound wrestler ever, but Ki took him to a good match. Lots of big spots and brawling. The crowd was firmly behind Ki, the hometown guy though. Evans hit the 630, and the fans went to near riot. Evans had so much heel heat leaving, security escorted him out. What the hell did he do to get that much heat?
ROH World Title: Colt Cabana def. Bryan Danielson(C). 51:18 with the Colt 45 Great pre-main event match. Danielson played a believeable champ, I mean, the guy beat Lance Storm! That helped nothing against Colt here. Colt came full-on focused on the ROH title. Colt nearly won about 5 minutes in the the Abra Cabana. Danielson locked the Cattle Mutilation in at about 47:12, but Cabana escaped it. Amdrag hit the Dragon Suplex for a 2 count. Colt fought back, hitting the Colt 45 for the win. Colt cut a promo about the ROH title and hugged Danielson post-match.
Dream Partner Tag Match: Lyger and Joe drew Daniels and Punk (30:00) What a great tag match. It was almost all matwork, and believeability reigned in this match. Punk and Lyger have an assload of chemistry, as do Daniels and Joe, who brawled for most of the match. Everyone but Lyger was bleeding by the end of the match. With 8 seconds left, Punk hit the Pepsi Plunge on Lyger. He pinned him with 1 second left. The crowd nearly crap themselves with the result. All 4 men shook hands post-match

Aside from Colt beating Danielson, and the 4 competitors shaking hands post main event, I'm really liking the way you've booked your cards. I'll definitely keep reading.

Im glad I inspired you in someway. This was a good show, not too long, but not short either. Im very interested to see where you go with Colt being champ.
