________________________________________

-- Bobby Cruise announced that Ring of Honor would be making their return to Edison on the thirty first of January. There was around 300 people in attendance. --

Dark Matches:

1) ROH Top of the Class Trophy Match – Rhett Titus defeated Ernie Osiris with a Tombstone. *3/4. Second Defence.

2) Kenny King defeated Eddie Edwards following The Coronation. *3/4.

Main Show:

-- Claudio Castagnoli made his way to the ring to kick off the show. Castagnoli talked about how last night he beat a legend in the form of Jerry Lynn, and how that will only begin his rise to the top. Castagnoli proceeded to promise victory tonight against Go Shiozaki. –

1) Kevin Steen and El Generico defeated Up In Smoke when Kevin Steen defeated Cheech with a Package Piledriver. Cheech & Cloudy had to prove themselves if they wanted to return to Ring of Honor in the future, and they did exactly that, taking the fight to the tag team champions, only just coming up short against the best of the tag team division. **1/2.

2) Necro Butcher defeated Tyler Black following the Tiger Bomb. This match suffered as Necro and Black just didn’t seem to click in the ring. Black was the better performer tonight, but Necro fought off interference by Delirious on the way to a victory. *1/2

-- Post match Delirious once again attacked Necro Butcher, and the two brawled around the ring area. Delirious sent Necro into the crowd, and went to the top turnbuckle. Delirious proceeded to hit an insane dive onto Necro Butcher, which left both men out cold as medics rushed to check on them. I don’t see what can possibly top that spot tonight. –

3) Davey Richards defeated Brent Albright with a Shooting Star Press. A great match that saw two of ROH’s brightest talents clash. The crowd were really hot for this one, and there were moments when there were split chants. I really thought Albright was going to walk away with the win tonight, but the match went to Richards following a really high shooting star press. ***1/4.

-- Intermission Break --

4) Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson defeated The Vulture Squad when Nigel McGuinness defeated Jigsaw following a Jawbreaker Lariat. Everyone rushed back from the intermission to catch the start of this match, and it wasn’t disappointing. The big story was the tension between McGuiness and Danielson, with both men trying to one up the other. From what I could see, Danielson was the star performer during this match. ***.

-- After the match Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuiness went face to face, but before they came to blows Danielson challenged McGuiness to put the title on the line at the next pay per view taping at Chicago Ridge. McGuiness grinned, nodded, and left with the ROH world title. --

5) FIP World Heavyweight Championship Match – Go Shiozaki (w/ Larry Sweeny) defeated Claudio Castagnoli with a Go Flasher. An excellent match, and there is no doubt in my mind that this was the match of the night, and possibly Go’s best match during his ROH run. Claudio is seriously looking like a strong title contender now, and he would have gotten the win tonight if it wasn’t for a distraction by Larry Sweeny leading to the Go Flasher. ****. Third Defence.

-- After the match Claudio Castagnoli tacked Go Shiozaki and Larry Sweeny to the ground, and a brawl ensued. Eddie Edwards tried to make the run in but Claudio laid him out as well with a brutal elbow. Claudio then promised that he will single handily be the end of Sweet N’ Sour Inc. --

6) Anything Goes Match – Jimmy Jacobs defeated Austin Aries by submission with an End Time. This match was insane, but it was its brutality that let down the final rating. Both Jacobs and Aries went all out, throwing everything in the arena at each other, including several of the fans chairs. Aries managed to turn back interference by Tyler Black, but a distraction by Delirious allowed Jacobs to nail Aries with a chair, before locking in the End Time for the win. A solid match to end the best show of the weekend. ***3/4.[/font]
