  • ROH Warwick, RI, live results: Briscoes vs. reDRagon vs. Motor City Machine Guns

    Submitted by James Brown

    – Taeler Hendrix defeated Sumie Sakai

    – Dalton Castle (with The Boys who weren’t the real Boys) defeated Kongo with a bridging German Suplex. 

    – Donovan Dijak (with Prince Nana) defeated Jay “Diesel” Daddiego (with Taeler Hendrix) with Feast Your Eyes. Solid performance by Dijak. Hendrix got on the apron and tried to get involved at the finish.  With Dijak distracted, Diesel tried to attack him but he accidentally punched Hendrix to the floor. 

    – Lio Rush defeated Christopher Daniels by dq. A fan ringside was jawing with Daniels that got his attention during this bout. Kazarian ran out as Rush climbed to the top rope for the DQ.  The Addiction continued to assault Rush, before Moose made the save. This led to…

    – Moose (with Stokely Hathaway)  & Lio Rush defeated The Addiction.  Moose is a star and the crowd loved chanting “MOOSE” repeatedly, especially during his punch sequence. Moose hit the spear followed by a Rush frog splash for the win. Good tag team match. Post-match, Addiction attacked Rush & Moose and hit their new Meltzer Driver.  This brought out the Young Bucks to make the save as Daniels and Kaz fled. Bucks pop was gigantic.

    – ROH World Champion Jay Lethal (with Taeler Hendrix) defeated Vinny Marseglia with the Lethal Injection. Lethal was good, but no one believed Vinny had a chance.  Rightfully so. Vinny is tattooed with a physique similar to one CM Punk.  Of course, the crowd realized the similarities which caused those annoying Punk chants. Post-match activities again with House of Truth teeing off on Marseglia until Dijak ran down and made a statement. Dijak ended up hitting Feast Your Eyes on Lethal to a massive pop, before standing over his nemesis and posing with the ROH World Title. Great segment!

    Intermission

    – Veda Scott defeated Mandy Leon and Jenny Rose. Veda looked impressive with Mandy coming along quite nicely.

    – Silas Young defeated Delirious with his version of the TKO. Delirious was an unexpected surprise as was his verbal developments.  Silas cut a very good promo before the match, running down the booking, Delirious, and Cheeseburger.  Along the way, Delirious while on the outside went under the ring only to re-appear as Cheeseburger with a mask.  Crowd loved that.

    – The Young Bucks defeated The All Night Express with the Meltzer Driver.  Match of the night. The Bucks looked great as did their broom they brought to ringside. Superkick Party led to the finish. Post-match, The Addiction hit the ring and double teamed The Bucks with ANX.  Moose made the save, joined the Superkick Party, cleaned house, ending with him and The Bucks super kicking Kazarian.  

    – ACH defeated Kamaitachi with the 450 splash.  I may sound greedy, but I expected a little more out of this. Nonetheless, this was a very good match. Kamaitachi hit his top rope senton to the outside on a standing ACH, along with another high risk spot that I could not quite see.  Appeared to be a double foot stomp, but I could be wrong.  

    – The Briscoes defeated Motor City Machine Guns and reDRagon in a three-way. Briscoes with the win set up their chance to regain the Tag Titles vs War Machine (absent from this show as they were overseas). Sabin looked good.  

    ROH returns to New England Friday 9/30 for the All Star Extravaganza PPV and 10/1 for TV tapings featuring New Japan!  These shows will run approximately 90 minutes north of West Warwick, RI at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium.

  • NXT Cocoa Beach, FL, live results: Samoa Joe teams with The Revival

    Approximately 200 in attendance here in Cocoa Beach Saturday night.

    – No Way Jose beat Mojo Rawley

    Fun opener. Mojo was the more aggressive of the two faces working over Jose, throwing him in o the corner and doing the Stinger Splash. Mojo even hit a pounce, knocking Jose out of the ring. But Jose fired up, hit the baseball punch, and the half-nelson slam for the win.

    – Patrick Clark beat Dan Matha

    Impressive showing by Patrick, hitting an excellent drop kick and playing the fiery babyface. Matha is a large, yet athletic heel, with a lot of upside. Patrick won with a crossbody off the top.

    – Carmella beat Aliyah

    Great reaction for Carmella as the crowd finished her promo for her and went wild for her signature spots. Aliyah has improved a lot recently and works as a heel very well, using holds like an Indian deathlock and cutting off Carmella aggressively when she had the chance. Carmella hit her finishing sequence of a big kick, bronco buster, and leg headlock for the win.

    – Tino Sabbatelli beat Chris Girard

    Very good match. Tino played the arrogant heel and Chris Girard as the aggressive fighter. Tino’s power was just too much for Girard in the end as he won it.

    – Mikey Nicholls and Shane Veryzer beat The Authors of Pain (Dhinsa and Selmani)

    The Authors Of Pain worked as methodical monster heels, but the speed and athleticism of Mikey and Shane were just too much to handle. Crowd was very into this match and lit up for the hot tag, Nicholls ran wild with some impressive kicks and was part of a double team move to finish off the match. Another great showing by the former TMDK in front of an unfamiliar crowd.

    – NXT Women’s Champion Asuka and Adrien Reese beat Nia Jax and Mandy Rose

    Star reaction for Asuka and the match was build around her as you might expect. Nia would destroy Adrien then allow Mandy to pick the scraps. Asuka finally got the hot tag and ran wild, hitting a vicious knee on Mandy that would make Hideo Itami proud. Asuka won with her head kick then celebrated with the fans ringside.

    – Elias Samson beat Noah

    The crowd was all over Samson as he insulted them in song form before Noah made his way to the ring. The Hawaiian born Noah wants to make friends but the Drifter has none of it and proceeds to work him over and apply headlocks. Drifter wins it with his neckbreaker.

    – Finn Balor, Tye Dillinger & Manny Andrade beat NXT Champion Samoa Joe & The Revival 

    Excellent main event with everything you’d expect. You got a superstar pop for Balor, who was on fire all through the match. Amazing finishing sequence where Andrade did a plancha to the outside on Joe to leave Finn free to hit the double foot stomp off the top on both Revival members and then pin the legal man for the win.
