Note: these probably won't be so detailed in the future, as this took a long time to write...
Ring of Honor: Reborn Again[/u] May 11, 2007 Hartford, CT
Ring of Honor returns to Hartford, Connecticut to present “Reborn Again”, main-evented by Takeshi Morishima and Nigel McGuiness challenging the Briscoe Brothers for the Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships, a 6-Man Tag Team Grudge Match with the No Remorse Corps taking on the Resilience of Erick Stevens, Matt Cross, and a mystery partner, and the in ring return of Bryan Danielson.
Kevin Steen and El Generico VS Eddie Edwards and Bobby Fish This match sees the Canadians challenging the regular Pro-Wrestling NOAH gaijins. Steen and Generico control the match from the get go, and rarely lose control. They beat on the newcomer, Bobby Fish, for much of the match, until Fish is able to make the hot tag to Edwards. Edwards cleans house momentarily, but is stopped by Generico’s Running Corner Mafia Kick. Edwards is dropped with a Half-and-Half Suplex, but Bobby Fish sends Generico out of the ring. Steen hits Fish with an Enziguiri Kick, and then a Package Piledriver, to pick up the win for his team. El Generico and Kevin Steen defeat Eddie Edwards and Bobby Fish in 7:48 when Kevin Steen gives Bobby Fish the Package Piledriver.
Adam Pearce w/ Shane Hagadorn VS Jason Blade Blade never has a chance in this match. Pearce dominates Jason Blade from the opening bell. Jason Blade sees an opportunity late in the match when Adam Pearce uncharacteristically goes to the top rope, and moves out of the way of a cross-body attempt. Jason Blade tries everything he can to rock Pearce, but when he goes up top for a moonsault, he’s met with a Shane Hagadorn brass knux punch. Adam Pearce pins Jason Blade for the win. Adam Pearce defeats Jason Blade in 8:03 following a Shane Hagadorn brass knux punch.
Winner Gets an ROH Contract BJ Whitmer VS Claudio Castagnoli BJ Whitmer and Claudio Castagnoli enter this match hesitantly. They’ve fought once before, with BJ coming out the winner, and with such high stakes, neither man wants to make a mistake. Claudio uses his European Uppercuts to his advantage, but BJ Whitmer is so tough that he is extremely hard to knock down. Eventually, Claudio gets the first sustained advantage after a Topé European Uppcercut knocks Whitmer over the guardrail. BJ Whitmer battles back when they get back inside the ring, and gets a near fall with an Exploder Suplex. BJ Whitmer tries for a second, but Claudio hits a Vertical Suplex to counter, picks Whitmer back up, and nails an Alpamare Waterslide for two! Claudio tries for the Ricola Bomb, but BJ fights out of it. He lifts Claudio to the second rope, and attempts a top rope Exploder Suplex, but Claudio pushes him off, before nailing a Diving European Uppercut! Claudio plants BJ Whitmer with the Ricola Bomb for the three count! Claudio Castagnoli redeems himself and picks up a huge win, as BJ Whitmer’s losing streak continues. Claudio Castagnoli pins BJ Whitmer in 15:24 following a Ricola Bomb to get an ROH Contract.
Jimmy Rave VS Pelle Primeau This is a grudge match, as back at Motor City Madness, Primeau picked up his first main show win with a roll-up on Jimmy Rave, and Rave defeated Primeau at Best in the World early that year. Rave attacks Primeau at the opening bell, and is unrelentless. He gouges Primeau’s eyes, and chokes him the corner. Jimmy Rave controls the match from the point forward, sending Primeau all around the ring with hard-hitting forearms and elbows. Primeau comes back, but only for a moment, when he surprises Jimmy Rave with a Tornado DDT. This is only a momentary advantage, as seconds later, Jimmy Rave gives Pelle a huge Dragon Screw! As Pelle holds his leg in pain, Jimmy lifts him to the top rope. He runs in, but is met with a boot! Pelle wraps his legs around Jimmy Rave’s head, and rolls forward with a Victory Roll pin, just like he beat Rave back in October 06… but this time, Rave kicks out! Jimmy hits Pelle Primeau with a big spear. He locks in the Heel Hook, and Primeau almost instantaneously taps out! Jimmy Rave submits Pelle Primeau in 7:03 with the Heel Hook.
After the match, Jimmy Rave gets on the microphone, and says that Primeau wasn’t REAL competition, and he won’t stop running through the ROH roster until he wins the World Championship. Rave starts to leave, but he is stopped in his tracks by “The Final Countdown”! Bryan Danielson comes to the ring! He gets on the microphone and tells Jimmy Rave that if he wants a real fight, Danielson’s the man to give it to him! Rave slaps Danielson and the match is on!
Bryan Danielson VS Jimmy Rave Danielson and Rave brawl from the early going, after the slap. Danielson starts to get an advantage, but Jimmy bails to the floor, and is greeted with “Die Jimmy Die” chants. Jimmy gets back in the ring, and he and Danielson lock up. Danielson gets the advantage on the ground, and even utilizes his classic “I’ve Got Till Five, Referee!” line after Jimmy makes the ropes on a hammerlock. Jimmy Rave rakes Danielson’s eyes when Danielson is in the mount position. He chokes Danielson in the corner, even though the referee tries to pull him off. Rave grabs Danielson’s leg, but Danielson tries to go for an Enziguiri… Rave ducks it, and in the process, Danielson injures the trapped knee! Like a shark smelling blood, Jimmy Rave attacks Bryan Danielson’s leg unrelentlessly, until Danielson is screaming with pain. When Jimmy Rave tires to apply the Heel Hook, Danielson fends him off. Rave runs the ropes, and goes for a clothesline, but Danielson ducks it, and gives him a Regal Plex! Danielson is too hurt to bridge for a pin, but the damage is done. Danielson manages to fend off Jimmy Rave, blocking his attacks, before sending Jimmy Rave down to the ground with a Powerslam. Danielson climbs up top, and dives off with the Flying Headbutt, but only gets a two count from this move. Danielson tries for the Cattle Mutiliation, but can’t bridge because of his bad leg. Rave counters a Cross-Face Chickenwing Attempt by going behind Danielson and nailing a back-suplex. Danielson is by the corner, and Rave goes for the spear… but Danielson moves out of the way and Rave catches the ring post shoulder-first! Jimmy Rave is hurt, and Danielson plants him with a German Suplex, but only gets two! Danielson applies the Cattle Mutilation, and turns it into a pinning combination, but again only gets two! Danielson tries for the Chicken-Wing again, but Rave rolls forward, sending Danielson to the ground, and locks in the Heel Hook! Danielson screams in agony, and tries to fight it off, and eventually makes the ropes! Jimmy Rave can’t believe it! He yells at referee Todd Sinclair, as Danielson writhes in pain. However, when Rave goes to follow up, Danielson catches him with an Inside Cradle for the three-count! Danielson quickly leaves the ring, with a smirk in the face, as the crowd chants “Best in the World” and Jimmy Rave fumes in the ring. Bryan Danielson pins Jimmy Rave in 19:04 with an Inside Cradle.
INTERMISSION
KENTA VS Delirious KENTA makes his long awaited return to Ring of Honor, and it’s against none other then the masked sensation, Deliriious! Delirious freaks out KENTA in the early going by running around the ring at the bell. Delirious and KENTA tie up, but once again, KENTA is foiled by Delirious’ trickery. KENTA eventual opens up on Delirious with some hard kicks, but the masked man catches one and bites down on KENTA’s thigh! KENTA retreats to the outside, but Delirious wipes him out with a Plancha! Delirious tries to whip KENTA into the guardrail, but KENTA counters and sends Delirious into it hard, following by a running boot. KENTA sends Delirious back in, and springboards over top, before swiping backwards with a kick to Delirious’ face. KENTA maintains control for several minutes, keeping Delirious grounded. Delirious counters a Busaiku Knee Attempt by ducking under it, before hitting a roll up for a two count. He hits KENTA with several BAM leaping lariats. He climbs up top for the Shadows Over Hell, but KENTA leaps to the top for the Falcon Arrow… Delirious pushes him off! He lands the Shadows Over Hell, but only gets two! Delirious locks in the Cobra Stretch immediately after, but KENTA makes the ropes. Delirious hits KENTA’s slap combo, but KENTA fires back with some slaps of his own, a big round kick, and then the Busaiku Knee! KENTA only gets two. KENTA gives Delirious a Tiger Suplex for two! KENTA lifts Delirious up for the Go 2 Sleep, but when he sends Delirious up, Delirious hooks KENTA’s leg for an Inside Cradle… only two! Delirious sends KENTA into the corner, and nails the Neverending Story clotheslines! He climbs up top for a second Shadows Over Hell… but KENTA catches him! He has Delirious on his back, and nails the Go 2 Sleep! KENTA makes the cover, and gets the win! KENTA defeats Delirious in 18:04 with the Go 2 Sleep. KENTA shows Delirious respect.
After KENTA leaves, the No Remorse Corps hit the ring. Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, and Rocky Romero beat up Delirious, with Davey giving him a DR Driver. Strong gets the microphone, and says that he has a feeling who the Resilience was courting… Delirious. Erick Stevens and Matt Cross make the save, but the Delirious is too injured to compete later tonight.
Naomichi Marufuji VS Matt Sydal The second ROH VS NOAH Junior Dream Match sees Marufuji and Sydal, two high-flyers do battle. The two trade hammerlocks and top wrist-locks early, each using back-flips and rolls to escape the other’s clutches. Marufuji and Sydal both attempt dropkicks, with neither connecting, and stand off. Marufuji overpowers Sydal, and is much bulkier, sending him into the corner. Matt Sydal, though, to his credit, tries to use his superior speed to his advantage, but gets caught in Marufuji’s trademark Drop-Toe-Hold followed by a baseball slide. Marufuji grounds Matt Sydal for the next several minutes, with Sydal not even having a chance at getting out of the bigger man’s submission holds. Sydal eventually sweeps Marufuji up, and land a gigantic standing moonsault! He only gets a two count, but follows it up right after with a second! Sydal gives Marufuji his trademark running clothesline in the corner, and climbs to the top… he goes for a dive, but Marufuji nails Sydal with a Superkick that sends him into the corner! Marufuji climbs to the opposite turnbuckle, and lands the coast-to-coast dropkick! Marufuji goes for the pin, but he only gets two. Marufuji climbs up top again, but Sydal pushes him off! Matt Sydal climbs to the top rope, and nails a big Moonsault to the floor! He throws Marufuji back in, and goes for the Shooting Sydal Press… Marufuji gets the knees up! Sydal holds his stomach, as Marufuji gives him a second superkick… followed by a Shiranui! Marufuji makes the cover, but Matt Sydal kicks out! Marufuji lifts Sydal up, and this time he plants him with a devastating Shiranui that sends Sydal right onto his neck. Marufuji makes the cover, and gets the win. Naomichi Marufuji defeats Matt Sydal in 15:27 with a Shiranui.
Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, and Rocky Romero VS Erick Stevens, Matt Cross, and ??? It appears readily apparent when the Resilience make their way to ringside that the No Remorse Corp picked their target well. No one is with the Resilience to take on their formidable opponents. The two factions brawl as the bell rings, with Romero and Davey pairing up on Erick Stevens on the outside. Strong beats up on Matt Cross inside the ring, but Cross counters a Powerbomb attempt into a Hurricanrana that sends Roderick Strong to the outside, with his teammates. The NRC have no chance to react as Matt Cross leaps over the ropes with a Space Flying Tiger Drop! The action heads back inside the ring, and the Resilience target Rocky Romero. Stevens is especially impressive, throwing Romero around the ring with relative ease. Erick Stevens hits his trademark Choo-Choo Corner Splash, followed by a top rope Moonsault for Cross, but only for two. Matt Cross hits the ropes, but Davey Richards kicks Cross in the back, allowing Romero to hit a jumping knee. Strong, Richards, and Romero cut off the ring, keeping Matt Cross away from Erick Stevens. Strong levels Cross with his hard knife-edge chops, and Davey Richards floors cross with his trademark kick/chop series. Eventually, Cross breaks away and makes the hot tag to Stevens. Erick Stevens is a house of fire, flooring all three of his opponents with clotheslines. He hits Davey Richards with a big gorilla press into a powerslam, but only gets two. Stevens goes for the Doctor Bomb, but Roderick Strong comes out of nowhere with a SICK Running Yakuza Kick that absolutely floors Stevens! Cross tries to jump off the top rope onto Strong with a Hurricanrana, but he’s caught in mid-air… Strong gives Cross a Powerbomb while Richards leaps up with a Lung-Blower! Cross and Stevens are floored! Romero applies the Ankle Lock to Erick Stevens, while Davey Richards locks Cross in the Horse Collar! Roderick Strong grabs the microphone as Stevens and Cross sceam in pain. “Ladies and gentleman,” says Strong. “You are witnessing the end of the Resilience! Because this group…”
Strong is caught off by the lights turning off… and “Personal Jesus” starts to play! Austin Aries runs to the ring as the crowd goes ballistic! Richards and Romero try to catch Aries as he enters the ring, but Aries fights both off! Strong swings at Aries, but Aries swings himself onto Strong’s back, and nails him with a Crucifix Bomb! Richards charges at Aries’, but he’s sent over the top rope! Aries kicks Romero in the gut, and plants him with a Brainbuster! He makes the cover… but Strong yanks the referee out of the ring! Strong argues with the ref, but Aries hits the ropes and lays him with the Heat Seeking Missile! Meanwhile, in the ring, Erick Stevens crushes Romero in the corner with another Choo-Choo Splash! Stevens kicks Romero in the midsection, and plants him with a Doctor Bomb! Matt Cross climbs to the top rope, and lands a Moonsault on Romero! The Resilience isn’t done, though, and Austin Aries scales the ropes, and plants Romero with a 450 Splash! The crowd counts along, as Austin Aries picks up the win for the Resilience! The Resilience celebrate inside the ring, victorious over the No Remorse Corp! Austin Aries, Erick Stevens, and Matt Cross defeat Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, and Rocky Romero in 19:01, after Aries hits a 450 Splash on Romero.
RING OF HONOR WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe © VS Takeshi Morishima and Nigel McGuiness This is a huge match, as the seemingly unstoppable ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima and his equally on-a-roll partner Nigel McGuiness challenge for the ROH Tag Team Championships. Nigel McGuiness starts off with Mark. The bigger McGuiness overpowers Briscoe, but Jay Briscoe makes a blind-tag off of an Irish Whip, and floors Nigel with a springboard dropkick. Nigel, however, floats into his corner, where Morishima tags in. Morishima lights up Jay Briscoe with two hard lariats. Mark runs in with a clothesline but Morishima ducks it, and goes for the Back-Drop Driver… Mark lands behind him! Jay and Mark hit tandem dropkicks two times, only barely staggering Morishima. They run for their trademark double shoulder tackle, but Morishima takes them down with two clotheslines! Takeshi Morishima and Nigel McGuiness control Jay Briscoe for several minutes after this, with Morishima wowing the crowd with his handspring corner elbow. Nigel McGuiness grounds Jay Briscoe with a side-head lock. As Briscoe fights back up to his feet, McGuiness brings him down with a huge Lariat. Jay Briscoe finally hits an Enziguri kick on Nigel, and makes the hot tag to his brother Mark! Mark springboards in with a simultaneous front-dropkick on Morishima and clothesline on Nigel. The younger Briscoe takes both men down with hard shots, grounding the big Morishima with a spinning wheel kick. Jay Briscoe comes out of nowhere taking the ROH Champion out of the ring with a running Yakuza Kick! The Briscoes have Nigel set up for the Springboard Doomsday Device… Mark springboards off of the ropes, but he’s met with a Lariat from Nigel! Jay drops Nigel to the mat, but Morishima pulls Jay to the outside. Nigel covers Mark, but only gets two. Nigel hits Mark in the corner, and goes to whip him to the other side, but Mark instead leaps over the turnbuckle and dives onto Takeshi Morishima, wiping him out! Jay Briscoe comes behind Nigel, and plants him with a hard German Suplex. Nigel is prone, as Mark climbs up to the top rope… he goes for the Shooting Star Press, but Morishima holds onto him! Morishima tosses Mark into the ring, and tags Nigel’s leg, making himself legal. Morishima plows through Jay Briscoe, sending him into the corner, where he reigns down hard shots. Mark runs at Mori, but gets caught with a boot to the gut… Morishima sets up Mark and nails him with a Back-Drop Driver! He makes the cover, but only gets two as Jay breaks up the pin. Morishima and Jay trade forearms in the center of the ring, with Morishima getting the better of him, until Jay shocks Morishima with a high dropkick right to the face. Morishima is stunned, as Jay bends him over… he nails a Jay-Driller on Morishima! Jay Briscoe makes the cover, and Morishima would be down for three, but Briscoe isn’t the legal man! Jay Briscoe argues with the referee, as Morishima crawls to his corner. Nigel is now waiting there, and makes the tag. Jay turns around, but Nigel McGuiness catches him with a huge forearm! Jay Briscoe returns with a Yakuza Kick! Nigel rebounds off the ropes… Jay ducks the Lariat attempt, but Mark Briscoe was behind him and he caught all of it! Morishima manages to tackle Jay, as Nigel makes the cover on Mark… but Mark puts his foot on the bottom rope. Morishima sends Jay Briscoe to the outside, and he follows him out. Nigel places Mark on the top rope in Tower of London position. Mark struggles out, as on the outside, Jay Briscoe sends Morishima into a barricade. Briscoe comes back into the ring, and catches Nigel with a Big Boot! Nigel is bent over, in place for the Jay Driller… Jay gets it! Nigel is out, but the Briscoes aren’t done, as Mark flies off the top with a Shooting Star Press! The referee counts Nigel’s shoulders down for three! Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships over Takeshi Morishima and Nigel McGuiness in 23:09 when Mark pins Nigel following a Shooting Star Press. After the match, the Briscoes shake hands with McGuiness. Morishima just leaves with his belt, as both Briscoes motion that they’re after his gold.

It sucks that stuff that takes this much effort goes unnoticed...but even when I said wow I gotta read this he typed so much it deserves a read...I got tired of it around Sydal/Maurufji.
The worst part is...is that by posting quick results, you can't inform of all the best little booking points: Primeau almost beating Rave the same way...Rave working Danielson's leg...KENTA's reaction to Delirious. Maybe try adding bullets in between the title of the match and the finish...I did something like that in one of my old diaries, it worked out pretty well.
But typing that much won't get the replies because no one really wants to read that much. it was really some good stuff though.

Ring of Honor: Respect is Earned[/u] May 12, 2007 New York City, NY
Ring of Honor has sold out the Manhattan Center one last time for Ring of Honor’s first-ever PPV taping, Respect is Earned! The fans have no idea what matches they will see tonight, only that they will see the absolute best that Ring of Honor has to offer.
The Resilience of Erick Stevens and Matt Cross VS Kevin Steen and El Generico Kevin Steen and El Generico are victorious in 12:14 over the Resilience after Steen gives Cross a huge Steenalizer. The Resilience looked good, but Steen and Generico were dominant in the final moments of the match. Afterwards, Steen spoke into the camera, telling the Briscoes that the belts were coming to him.
Brent Albright VS Adam Pearce w/ Shane Hagadorn Brent Albright submits Adam Pearce to the Crowbar in 7:03. Pearce and Hagadorn were hugely over as heels in this match. Pearce tried every heel tactic he could, but Albright (and his barrage of suplexes) were too much for him to handle. After the match, Shane Hagadorn was also given a Half-Nelson Suplex.
WINNER GETS ROH TITLE SHOT LATER TONIGHT: Nigel McGuiness VS Roderick Strong VS Claudio Castagnoli VS Matt Sydal This match is being taped for the ROH PPV, and is to determine who will challenge Takeshi Morishima for the ROH World Championship in the main event. Roderick Strong is victorious in 16:37, when he submits Sydal to the Strong-Hold. All four men came out looking extremely good, though.
Rocky Romero VS Delirious Delirious pins Rocky Romero in 8:40 after the Chemical Imbalance II. This was a grudge match that saw Romero and Delirious go back and forth on offense on several occasions. Romero almost scored the win with a sick Jujigatame, but Delirious escaped it leading to the finsh.
Austin Aries VS Davey Richards This match is being taped for the ROH PPV. Austin Aries pins Davey Richards in 15:09 with a 450 Splash. Richards dominated Aries throughout the middle portions of the match, and had the entire crowd against him. Near the conclusion of the match, the No Remorse Corps and Resilience members battled at ringside.
--INTERMISSION--
Bryan Danielson VS Jimmy Rave This match is being taped for the ROH PPV, and is a rematch from last night especially requested by Jimmy Rave. However, the result was more of the same, as Bryan Danielson knocked Jimmy Rave out with the MMA Elbows in 16:50. Rave heeled it up all match, and Danielson was treated as a conquering hero. Rave worked over Danielson’s leg (like he did a night earlier), but Danielson’s skilled technical expertise aided him in avoiding the Heel Hook. Rave was furious after the match, and nearly attacked ref Todd Sinclair.
ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe © VS Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA This match is being taped for the ROH PPV. The Briscoe Brothers avenge their lost in September 2006 to KENTA and Marufuji by successfully defending the ROH Tag Team Championships against them in an amazing match. Jay Briscoe pinned KENTA after a Spike Jay-Driller at 24:03, becoming only the second man to cleanly pin KENTA in a Ring of Honor ring. Marufuji and KENTA shook hands with the Briscoe Brothers after the match, and seemed like they wanted a rubber match in the future.
ROH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: Takeshi Morishima © VS Roderick Strong This match is being taped for the ROH PPV. Takeshi Morishima continued his reign of dominance in Ring of Honor, successfully defending the ROH Championship against No Remorse Corp leader Roderick Strong. Morishima pinned Strong in 17:29 of a hard-hitting match following a Back-Drop Driver. Strong showed great power, even giving Morishima a Gorilla Press into a Gut Buster, and at one point nearly earned a submission victory in the Strong-Hold, but in the end, the unstoppable ROH World Champion added another name to his ever expanding list of victims.

News out of 5/11 and 5/12 Weekend
- A dream tag team match has been signed for "Bad Intensions" in Roxbury Crossing, MA. Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuiness both want an ROH World Title match, so they will have to put aside their differences to work together in tag team action against the team of ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima and his new-found friend, Chris Hero. Super Agent Larry Sweeney has been working overtime, and ensured Chris Hero main-event level matches when he is in Ring of Honor, just like this one. Whoever scores the fall in this match is definately in line for a title shot.
- As said, Super Agent Larry Sweeney has been working hard, and his negotiations have paid off. He has managed to guarantee Chris Hero an ROH World Title shot at "Bad Intensions" 6/8 in Philadelphia against Morishima. Chris Hero and Morishima will have tagged twice before this match, so the cerebral Hero knows what to expect from the ROH World Champion. The last time ROH was in Philadelphia, a shocking World Title change occured. Could this happen a second time?
- Austin Aries shocked the wrestling world when he sided with Ring of Honor over TNA Wrestling. The No Remorse Corp VS Resilience feud is sure to heat up over the next weekend of shows. "Bad Intensions" in Roxbury Crossing, MA will see Austin Aries and Erick Stevens take on Roderick Strong and Rocky Romero, and Delirious do battle with with Davey Richards. An interesting turn of events occured during the conference-call negotiations for a match at "Bad Intensions" in Philadelphia. A Resilience VS No Remorse Corp 6-man tag was all but scheduled, until leaders Austin Aries and Roderick Strong argued, and challenges were issued for an 8-man tag! Who knows who will be on each side, but both have agreed to have a new member for this match!
- Kevin Steen and El Generico have been petitioning for an ROH World Tag Team Title shot. Their petitions have been granted, and they will face the Briscoes in the same venue they first did, Philadelphia! On 6/9, Steen and Generico challenge the Briscoes for the ROH Tag Team Championships! However, one night earlier, the two sides will do battle in singles action, as it will be Mark Briscoe VS El Generico and Kevin Steen VS Jay Briscoe.
- As previously stated, ROH's second PPV taping will be "Proving Ground" in Chicago 6/23. The second match signed is stemming from the events from "Reborn Again" in Hartford. Takeshi Morishima and the Briscoe Brothers had some heated exchanges. On 6/23, Morishima will face off with Jay Briscoe, and he will put the ROH World Championship on the line if he is still champion. In Dayton, Morishima and a partner of his choosing will battle the Briscoes, and if the Briscoes are still champions, the ROH Tag Team Championships will be up for grabs! Someone can walk out of the 6/22 and 6/23 weekend a double champion!
- Also signed for 6/23 "Proving Ground" is No Remorse Corp leader Roderick Strong against Pro-Wrestling NOAH's Naomichi Marufuji! This is sure to be an outstanding, athletic contest.

Shit... ing awesome stuff here. Strong/Fuji should be insane. I actually could see a title change hands on the double shot. Can't wait for the new members...and I think I see the inevitable Steen/Generico match down the road after they lose to the Briscoes.

ROH: “Bad Intensions”[/u] Roxbury Crossing, MA June 8, 2007
Ring of Honor makes its return to the Massachusetts area with its debut in Roxbury Crossing, MA, for a loaded card, featuring a dream tag team main event of ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima and Chris Hero taking on Nigel McGuiness and “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson.
Pre-Show
Shane Hagadorn and Ernie Osiris VS Rhett Titus and Alex Payne Shane Hagadorn and Ernie Osiris are victorious over Rhett Titus and Alex Payne in 6:03 when Hagadorn uses the Brass Knuckles on Payne. After the match, Hagadorn also hits Osiris with the knuckles, and leaves to a chorus of boos.
Main Card
ROH World Tag Team Champion Mark Briscoe VS El Generico Mark Briscoe pins El Generico in 9:28 following a Cut-Throat Suplex, in a high-flying, energetic match. Generico showed huge heart in this match, and almost put away Briscoe when he got the knees up on a Shooting Star Press attempt, followed by a Brainbuster. Briscoe would eventually put away Generico, and refused to shake Generico’s hand after the match.
Claudio Castagnoli VS Tank Toland w/ “Sweet and Sour” Larry Sweeney and Bobby Dempsey In this grudge match, Claudio puts away Toland in 8:49 with a Ricola Bomb. Tank Toland used all of the workout-inspired offense he could think of (including double-stomp jumping-jacks), but Claudio was way too much for him. After the match, Sweeney and Toland stormed off, while Dempsey jogged behind them.
Jimmy Rave VS BJ Whitmer VS Matt Cross VS Pelle Primeau Jimmy Rave picks up the submission victory in the Four-Corner Survival, after he submits Matt Cross to the Heel Hook in 15:11. Pelle Primeau was the real star here, almost scoring victories on all three of his opponents, before being nearly murdered by an apron Exploder Suplex to the hard floor from Whitmer. At this point, Jimmy Rave knocked BJ off the apron and into the guardrails. Cross and Rave battled at this point, but Rave scored with a Waterwheel Suplex (formerly Ghana-rea), and locked in the Heel Hook for the win.
Davey Richards VS Delirious In this grudge match, Davey Richards defeats Delirious in 14:24 with the DR Driver after interference from Rocky Romero. This match was a tale of Davey’s hard kicks against Delirious’ zany antics. At the finish, Delirious hit Davey with Shadows Over Hell and locked in the Cobra Stretch. Romero distracted the referee, which distracted Delirious. When Delirious assaulted Rocky, Richards was given enough time to recover and lay out Delirious with his finishing hold. After the match, Richards, Romero, and Roderick Strong beat on Delirious, leading to…
Roderick Strong and Rocky Romero VS Austin Aries and Erick Stevens The Resilience of Austin Aries and Erick Stevens are victorious over The No Remorse Corps of Roderick Strong and Rocky Romero in 16:48, when Stevens gives Romero a Doctor Bomb, followed by a 450 Splash by Austin Aries. The NRC were dominant for most of the match, keeping Stevens away from Aries. However, once Aries got the hot tag, the war was on, and the Resilience won this chapter. After the match, Austin Aries tells Roderick Strong that it doesn’t matter who he brings tomorrow night in Philadelphia, the Resilience will reign supreme again.
--Intermission--
Lacey w/ Jimmy Jacobs VS Daizee Haze In a SHIMMER grudge match, Lacey pins Daizee Haze at 7:33 of an average match. Daizee was ready to give Lacey the Heart Punch, when Jimmy Jacobs grabbed her arm. This was enough of a distraction to allow Lacey to plant Daizee with her Implant DDT for the victory.
ROH World Tag Team Champion Jay Briscoe VS Kevin Steen Kevin Steen scores the biggest victory of his ROH career here in Roxbury Crossing, as he pins Jay Briscoe cleanly with a Package Piledriver in 15:48. This match was back-and-forth, with hard-shots traded throughout. After the match, Steen picked up the ROH World Tag Team Title belt, and told Briscoe it was coming to him.
ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima and Chris Hero w/ “Sweet and Sour” Larry Sweeney and Tank Toland VS Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuiness In this dream tag team match, Takeshi Morishima and Chris Hero picked up the win over the ROH Dream Team of Nigel McGuiness and Bryan Danielson in 27:40, when Morishima pins Danielson following a Back-Drop Driver. The story of the match were the exchanges between Danielson and Morishima, as the two (stepping in the same ring together for the very first time) laid waste to each other. Danielson nearly scored the win when he pounded in Morishima’s skull with the MMA Elbows until Chris Hero stopped him. The finish saw Nigel McGuiness attempt the Rebound Lariat on Hero, but Chris Hero ducked and Nigel DESTROYED Danielson with it. Chris Hero laid out McGuiness with the Hero’s Welcome, allowing Morishima to give Danielson two Back-Drop Drivers and pick up the win. After the match, Hero pushed Morishima and then smartly ran out of the ring.

ROH: “Declaring War”[/u] Philadelphia, PA June 9, 2007 Ring of Honor returns to its homebase of Philadelphia, PA, with an extremely loaded card. Chris Hero challenges for the ROH World Championship against Takeshi Morishima, and the Resilience battle the No Remorse Corp, with both factions enlisting a new member to make this an 8-man tag team match. Pre-ShowRING OF HONOR TOP OF THE CLASS TROPHY: Pelle Primeau © VS Shane Hagadorn In a rematch from when Pelle Primeau won the Trophy, he defeated Shane Hagadorn once again. This time, he was victorious in 6:35 seconds when he hits Shane Hagadorn with his own brass knuckles.Main CardJimmy Rave VS “Lightning” Mike Quackenbush Jimmy Rave defeats Mike Quackenbush in this Special Attraction Match in 15:01 seconds via submission in the Heel Hook. This was a clash of styles for most of the match, with Jimmy Rave effectively beating down Quackenbush. Quackenbush was able to mount some offense, including a series of breath-taking high-flying maneuvers, but was eventually put down by Jimmy Rave’s patented finishing hold.
Allison Danger and Sara Del Ray VS Tiana Ringer and Lacey w/ Jimmy Jacobs The Dangerous Angels continue their winning ways in Ring of Honor, scoring a win over the team of Tiana Ringer and Lacey in 10:49, when Del Ray submits Ringer to the Royal Octopus. After the match, Allison Danger taunts Lacey, which leads to Jimmy Jacobs running her out of the ring. Jimmy touches Lacey affectionately, but Lacey instead storms to the back.
Nigel McGuiness VS BJ Whitmer Nigel McGuiness defeats BJ Whitmer in 17:44 following a Jawbreaker Lariat, in an good match. The hard hitting styles of both men complimented well. Whitmer looked good in the match, almost pinning Nigel following a Top-Rope Exploder Suplex. Eventually, it came down to a battle of the strikes, which Nigel won with his trademark rebound Jawbreaker Lariat. After the match, Nigel motioned around his waist that he wanted the Ring of Honor Championship.
Bryan Danielson VS Claudio Castagnoli Bryan Danielson submits Claudio Castagnoli to the Cattle Mutilation in 26:53 of an excellent match. This was Claudio’s career performance, as he went toe-to-toe with the “Best in the World” for nearly 30 minutes. Claudio looked to have the victory on several occasions, even knocking Danielson unconscious momentarily with an elevated European Uppercut. Danielson tried for the first 25 minutes to lock in the Cattle Mutilation, but was thwarted in every attempt until he finally synched it in for the win. Danielson threw everything he had at Claudio, including the Cross-Face Chicken-Wing and MMA Elbows, to put him away. After the match, the crowd chanted “CLAUDIO” loudly, firmly establishing Claudio as a top-tier wrestler and granting him full absolution in the very same building where he turned on Ring of Honor.
--Intermission--
RING OF HONOR WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe © VS Kevin Steen and El Generico The Briscoe Brothers retain the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships over Kevin Steen and El Generico in 21:19 of an exciting match. The finish was disputed, as Kevin Steen and El Generico destroyed Mark Briscoe. Steen hit Mark with a Package-Piledriver, which flipped him overhead into a Brainbustah from El Generico. However, when Generico made the cover, the referee wouldn’t count since Steen and Jay were legal. In the confusion, Jay Briscoe rolled up Kevin Steen for the win. Steen and Generico were obviously unhappy with the ruling, and the Briscoes wanted a dominant win. This is still an open issue to keep an eye on.
ELIMINATION MATCH: The Resilience of Austin Aries, Erick Stevens, Matt Cross, and VS The No Remorse Corp of Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, Rocky Romero, and The Resilience were first to the ring. The No Remorse Corp followed in second, both teams being represented by their three members. Austin Aries introduced the newest member of the Resilience… DELIRIOUS! Delirious hit the ring, and as anyone who has been following Delirious’ feud with the No Remorse Corp, his joining of the Resilience seem like the obvious next step. However, when Delirious was running around the ring, he was jumped by BRENT ALBRIGHT! Albright has joined the No Remorse Corp, and the brawl is on inside the ring!
Order of elimination: Brent Albright eliminates Matt Cross in 13:44 with the Crow-Bar submission (4-3) Davey Richards eliminates Erick Stevens in 17:08 with the DR Driver (4-2) Delirious eliminates Rocky Romero in 24:22 with the Cobra Stretch submission (3-2) Austin Aries eliminates Davey Richards in 29:00 with a cradle (2-2) Brent Albright eliminates Austin Aries in 35:53 with the Crow-Bar submission (2-1) Roderick Strong and Brent Albright eliminate Delirious in 39:37 with a simultaneous Strong-Hold and Crow-Bar to win the match.
RING OF HONOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: Takeshi Morishima © VS Chris Hero w/ Larry Sweeney Takeshi Morishima retains the Ring of Honor World Champoinship over Chris Hero in 16:23 following a Back-Drop Driver. Morishima laid waste to Chris Hero throughout the match, with Hero frustrating Morishima with his trademark Cravates. Hero scored the closest nearfall of his life when Larry Sweeney tripped Morishima, sending him into a Hero’s Sidekick followed by a Hero’s Welcome, but the ROH Champion persevered. The finish saw Hero lock up Morishima in a Cravate, only to be tossed overhead with a vicious Back-Drop Driver. One more back-drop driver later, and Hero was history.
Following the match, Bryan Danielson confronted Morishima. He grabbed the ROH Title, and told him that the belt will be his again. Morishima and Hero assault Danielson, but Nigel McGuiness makes the save! McGuiness sends Morishima and Hero scrambling, and HE takes possession of the title. Todd Sinclair recovers the Championship and gives it back to Morishima, as Danielson and Nigel stare at each other, realizing that while they have a common enemy, they also have a common goal: dethroning Takeshi Morishima.

Very solid show with a stacked card. Both Rave/Quack and Danielson/Claudio sound like great matches. I'm also happy to see Delirious a member of Resilience. I could care less about Albright. He is a fitting member of the NRC though. The title situation has me really intrigued too. Good work man, keep it up.

"Collision" 6/22, "Proving Ground" 6/23 Previews, and more![/u]
- We are just a few weeks away to ROH's midwest return on 6/22 for "Collision" in Dayton and "Proving Ground" in Chicago on 6/23. Bryan Danielson and KENTA have both been preparing for their rubber match in Chicago, but they will also do battle in Dayton! In the main event at "Collison", KENTA and his tag team partner Naomichi Marufuji will face the ROH Dream Team of Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuiness! Danielson and McGuiness are both chasing the gold of Takeshi Morishima, how can they co-exist?
- Takeshi Morishima and the Briscoes have been on a collision course, and will do battle over the midwest weekend. In Dayton, Takeshi Morishima and Chris Hero will team up to challenge for the ROH World Tag Team Championships against the Briscoe Brothers! The next night, at "Proving Ground" in Chicago, Jay Briscoe will have a shot at Morishima! Either Morishima or Jay Briscoe can end up as a double champion by the weekend's conclusion!
- The war between The Resilience and The No Remorse Corp has heated up, as both sides have added members in Delirious and Brent Albright respectively. The faction war continues in the midwest: on 6/22 in Dayton, Brent Albright and Davey Richards team up against Austin Aries and Erick Stevens, and Roderick Strong faces Delirious in a rematch from 2/17 in Philadelphia, however, this time, Roderick will NOT put the FIP Title on the line. In Chicago, it will be a supreme grudge match as Austin Aries and Brent Albright do battle.
- Roderick Strong of the No Remorse Corp will have his hands full, as he takes on Naomichi Marufuji! This will surely be a hard-hitting match.
- Claudio Castagnoli will have two big singles matches over the midwest weekend. In Dayton, it will be Claudio VS Jimmy Rave, and the following night will see Claudio take on Mike Quackenbush. Quackenbush has been making waves in ROH, can he impress against Claudio?
- The first matches for ROH's debut in Japan have been signed. For ROH's show in Tokyo on 7/16, in conjunction with Pro-Wrestling NOAH, Nigel McGuiness will face Takeshi Morishima! If Morishima is still World Champion, the ROH Title will be on the line! The next night, 7/17 in Kobe, Dragon Gate star Masaaki Mochizuki will receive a Ring of Honor World Title match, whether Morishima, McGuiness, or Jay Briscoe are champion.
- Also signed for 7/16 in Tokyo is Austin Aries VS Naomichi Marufuji, a battle of the two most athletic wrestlers in ROH!

Can't wait for all this freaking awesome ROH action. The Mid-West Double shot should be awesome. The Japan shows should be great to hope to see CIMA & Shingo in the DG shows.
I can't wait for September in your diary to see the return of Jimmy Jacobs to the ring. To bad Brent joined NRC because that means no more Lacey's Angels unless you get diffrent members maybe UIS can become LA.
Thanks for reply to my diary dude, keep up ur good work.
