Hey guys, i just got home from a 3 hour drive back to Indianapolis from Dayton, heres a quick report.
Pre Show
1) Ernie Osiris and Rhett Titus def. ? 2) Dingo def. Alex Payne via Full Nelson Suplex.
Main Show 1) Briscoes def. Jigsaw/Matt Cross 2) Claudio Castagnoli def. Adam Pearce 3)FIP Title: Erick Stevens def. Austin Aries and Davey Richards 4) BJ Whitmer and Brent Albright def. Delirious and El Generico after run in by Adam Pearce 5)Lucy and Daizee Haize- not sure, was outside, though, this is when Joey Matthews debuted for ROH, cutting a pretty long promo. 6)No Remorse Corps (Strong/Romero) def. Jimmy Jacobs and Joey Matthews via tapout. 7)Bryan Danielson def. Tyler Black 8)ROH Title: Nigel McGuinness def. Chris Hero
Danielson/Tyler was EASILY match of the night. Crowd was RED hot, and split between the two men.
Besides that, Joey Matthews and Jacobs clicked very well in their match together, at one time, instead of hitting a regulasr double superplex, they nailed one from standing position, with their faces facing the ring, not with their backs towards the ring.
Was anybody i might know at this show? I was with a few local indy talents in Dave Crist and Sami Callihan, along with a few other promoters and other fans from the Indy area.
I have to say, i'll defnitely be coming back in June.

Oh wow, shitty Englishman who far overuses the lariat beat Hero. So unpredictable. I regret not going, Black/Danielson sounds amazing.

Yeah, but i think Hero kept his heat, because he pretty much dominated the whole match until the end.

i'm so sick of nigel as champ, ugh.
i can't wait to see black/danielson, i had a feeling it would be great. matthews as the new AOTF member is a good fit also, hopefully he's finally ditched his mnm pants.

Looks like a goo show to me. Main Event will be good and some of the tag matches will be. Oh and Tyler Black vs Danielson was said to be an early MOTY contender going 25+ minutes. Awesome.
"Ruckus missed last night's show and will miss tonight's show due to a serious enough illness that he had to be hospitalized. As a result The Vulture Squad team has been pulled from tonight's Ultimate Endurance in Chicago. Now the Dream Partner Tag Team Match pitting Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson vs. Erick Stevens & Jay Briscoe will go on in the first half of the card. The winning team will then join the Ultimate Endurance TONIGHT. Could one of these dream duos win the ROH World Tag Team Titles tonight?" - Gabe.

Hero lost, I wish he would become champ, as I hate seeing Nigel as champ. Don't get me wrong Nigel is a ok wrestler, but Hero is way better. Thanks for posting.

Guys please keep Ruckus in your prayers, apparantly it's a pretty serious issue.
As for the show itself, Danielson/Black was one of the five best matches I've ever seen in an ROH ring. It's a match that deserves every accolade it will receive.

same, i also cannot bloody wait to see black/dragon. also the team of jigsaw and matt cross intrigues me. and since cross is no longer par of the resilience and the vulture squad are two men down cross would be the ideal fill in.

Sorry, Joey Matthews did NOT ditch the MNM pants, but his black pants, along with his trench coat and short hair, did really fit in with AOTF's look.
and yes, Black/Dragon was the best singles match i've seen in the last year or so, live that is.
I swear, not many people, incluiding myself, thought Black could possibly look like a threat vs. Bryan, but damn, when he hit the Phoenix Splash aqfter two Cattle attempts, i thought Black had the win, but of course, Bryan rolled em up.
Black has improved leaps and bounds since the last time i saw him Live.

Did any of you guys buy that new AOTF shirt? I heard that they were selling it last night. I really want to see what it looks like.

I saw it, Tyler had it on
It has a logo on the side of the shirt, on the back it had a flag on the top part of the shoulders.

Yeah I am very intrigued that they would bring in Joey Mercury to join the AoTF. I didn't think that Gabe would hire any more talent from WWE ;D
