ROH TV Report Road Rage Detroit Michigan, Ford Centre
Kevin kelly and Truth Martini welcomed us to the show and said as "we're on the road to the 13th anniversary PPV" as tonight's show was a special from the recent winter warriors house show tour. On a side note the audio for this show as well as the lighting was more crappy than usual during some points you could hardly hear martini.
Singles Match: Alberto El Patron Vs ACH
Very good opener helped by The crowd which is super hot for this one but maybe it was the piss poor audio the crowd were chanting this is wrestling and both wrestlers names throughout the match. Throughout the match Alberto is trying at almost every turn to apply his arm bar but ACH has a counter for it almost every time. In fact I like how they kept building the arm bar as such a dangerous hold with all of ACH attempts to avoid it at every turn. After some breath taking dives by ACH The finish arrives as ACH goes up top to hit the 450 splash but Alberto moves and ACH lands on his feet. ACH then counters another attempt at a arm bar by Alberto and gives El patron a side kick and goes up top yet again. ACH comes off with another 450 splash but this time Alberto gets his knees up and Alberto then applies the arm bar at long last and after a few seconds ACH taps out.
Your Winner: Alberto El Patron
We are thrown to a video package of ODB training at the Briscoes farm in sandy fort Delaware. All three compete with one another in such challenges as lifting buckets of chicken feed, climbing up and down ladders, jumping up onto a digger and beating a used tyre with a sledgehammer. Not quiet vince McMahon chasing a chicken but this quick segment still did the trick.
Singles Match: Mark Briscoe Vs Michael Elgin
Another good match which the crowd is still very hot for, both men were protected well in this match with both men hitting all there big spots and being made to look strong by kicking out of the said move. It ended when mark went for a cross body but elgin caught him an gave mark a buckle bomb. Elgin then rather than go for his finisher the pop up powerbomb gave Mark his own brothers finisher the jay driller and covered Jay for the 1,2 and 3.
Your Winner: Michael Elgin
Afterwards Elgin grabs the metal bar which holds the top rope onto the ring post and proceeds to ram it into marks mouth. It brings out Jay Briscoe who chases off Elgin but as Jay tends to his fallen brother Elgin returns with the ROH world title and clocks Jay from behind with jays ROH world title. Elgin the raises up the belt to boos as Tomasso Ciampra comes out and ciampra grabs Elgin and nails him with a Silican slice and does the same as Elgin some in the crowd cheer and some boo. Then war beard Hanson comes out and he nails Ciampra with the big boot and raises up the belt like Elgin and Ciampra did. This time the crowd get behind Hanson but he is then attacked by Jay and the two brawl to the outside. Hanson, Elgin and Jay brawl out on the floor as Ciampra goes up top and dives out onto all four men. The referees then come out and break up the fight and were thrown to a commerical.
Main Event: ROH World Television Title Match Jay Lethal (Champions)/with Truth Martini and Jay Diesel Vs Roderick Strong
Another very good match which you would expect from these two who are in a very select group of wrestlers in ROH who can say they are bona fide main eventers and wrestle like main eventers as well. Jimmy Jacobs replaced Truth Martini on commentary as Martini had his managerial services to perform for his charge the ROH world television champion Jay Lethal and it was telling Jacobs was out by himself and not with decade stablemates BJ Whitmer and Adam Page. Which is adding more fuel to the fire to my hunch that Jacobs will turn face and align with strong in a feud against bj and page. The match was brought to a stop after BJ Whitmer run in and gave strong a exploder in the ring then on the floor. As kelly said on commentary "what is this Jimmy more decade business" but Jacobs genuinely didn't seem to have an answer for kelly which again is adding more fuel to the fire. The referee stopped the match and declared strong the winner via DQ and Jay lethal began to leave but roderick pulled himself up and into the ring. Grabbing a microphone in the process and said "lethal do you want to finish this like a man and a champion" and I'm guessing Jay did because he returned and the match was resumed by referee Todd Sinclair. The finish sees strong apply his strong hold to lethal but lethal just makes it to the ropes to break the hold. Gulleotine by lethal to strong and Jay heads up to the top rope but strong knocks Jay down crotching Jay on the top rope in the process. Strong goes up and joins lethal and the two battle it out up top and at one point Roderick teases giving Jay a tiger driver from the top rope (Misawa would have been proud). Eventually Jay knocks strong off the top rope and strong falls to the mat and lethal drops an elbow drop onto strong and covers him for the near fall. Jay goes for the lethal injection but strong counters and nails Jay with a sick kick for a very near fall on the champion indeed. Lethal then counters a strong back breaker and super kicks strong not once but twice then handsprings into the ropes and rebounds off and catches strong with a lethal injection for the win.
Your Winner: And Still ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal
To end the show were thrown to the back and strong is there and he has a coming together with BJ Whitmer and the two brawl. We're then thrown back to the ring were lethal is celebrating then out runs Alberto El Patron and the two men who will meet this weekends 13th anniversary ppv square off. It ends with the two brawling then lethal decided rather smartly to bail and leaves through the crowd as this show comes to an end.
