  • ROH Hopkins, MN, live results: Adam Cole hospitalized with pneumonia; Young Bucks return

    Submitted by Christopher Falken

    – Bullet Club member Adam Cole is in the hospital with pneumonia and has been pulled from tonight’s show and Sunday’s show in Milwaukee, WI. Will Ferrara takes his place to face Chris Sabin tonight.

    – Dalton Castle def. Juice Robinson

    Lots of comedy early on. It got more physical as it went on and lots of back and forth. They shake hands after the match, and TV Champion Bobby Fish comes out for a live Fish Tank with Dalton. Dalton requests for it to be a sitdown interview but they don’t have any chairs. Dalton has 2 more Boys come out and they form human chairs for them to sit on. Lots of comedy. They promise to remain friends after their match at Best in the World, but Fish says he doesn’t see Dalton as a champion, making him storm off. Neither one came off like a heel.

    – Chris Sabin def. Will Ferrara

    Decent match. Daniels comes out for commentary to lead into the next match.

    – Silas Young/Beer City Bruiser def. War Machine and Moose/Lio Rush

    Excellent match and easily the match of the night with nonstop action. Rush was the star despite being there to take the pin and the crowd came alive after being dead nearly the whole show so far.

    – ACH def. Alex Shelly

    Solid match. ACH cut a promo afterwards and calls Shelley one of his idols. Shelley puts him over to bring the show into intermission.

    – Steve Corino comes for an interview after intermission.  He cuts a promo on BJ Whitmer, who has been on commentary all night.  He says a lot of nothing.

    – Donovan Dijak def. Cheeseburger

    About the match you’d expect with Cheeseburger getting little bursts of offense in only to be cut off seconds later and tossed around. Kaz’s turn to do commentary for the next tag match.

    – ANX def. The Young Bucks and RPG Vice

    Both ANX and RPG Vice work heel over the returning Bucks who haven’t missed a beat. King stole the pin on Trent after he got hit with a Meltzer Driver and said ANX was going to make wrestling great again.

    – Michael Elgin def. Kamaitachi

    Not a lot of people in the crowd were familiar with Kamaitachi, but got behind him when he was on offense. They raise each other’s arms after the match.

    – Daniels comes out for one last time and cuts a promo hyping the main event.  Quick promo, just some cheap heat and out come the tag teams.

    – Briscoe Brothers def. ROH Champion Jay Lethal/Roderick Strong and ReDRagon

    Fans were tired out by this point but got back into it towards the end. Bucks interfere and interrupt the Lethal Injection while Jay hits the Jay Driller on Strong to end the show.

    Overall, there were no bad matches.  The attendance seemed down from the last few shows run in Hopkins.  No return date announced.

  • ROH Columbus, OH, live results (Sun): Jay Lethal vs. Adam Page; new team debuts

    Submitted by Andrew Hall

    – Pre-Show: Veda Scott vs “Crazy” Mary Dodson

    Veda wins with a back suplex while Mary is seated on top rope. Good enough match to warm up.

    Kelly Klein and BJ Whitmer come out. Klein gives Mary a Michinoku-driver like move and BJ harasses the ring announcer to announce Klein as ‘the only woman that matters’ in Women of Honor.

    Jay Briscoe comes out and tells the crowd the ROH officials are concerned about his health and he is not supposed to wrestle tonight. Roderick Strong comes out to tell him it is better that way and Jay should take the night off. Of course, Jay doesn’t accept that reasonable offer, so the main event is still on.

    – Caprice Coleman vs ACH

    Good match. Caprice yelled out ‘Buddy Landel!’ and proceeded to do a Landel-style elbow off the ropes. Maybe a dozen people in the audience got it. ACH won with the 360 splash.

    – Stevie Richards vs Mark Briscoe

    OK match. Mark with a DVD like move and then FroggyBo off the top for the pin.

    – Beer City Bruiser (w/ Silas Young) vs Cheezburger

    What you’d expect. BCB wins with his finisher. Silas mocks Cheeseburger and expresses his disgust for the crown and ACH and CB. Silas picks CB up over his shoulders, but ACH makes the save.

    – ANX vs Motor City Machine Guns

    Fun match. Good team spots. Heat on Alex Shelley. Finish breaks down and MCMG do a double team buster move on Rhett ( I think) for the pin. MCMG are pretty over.

    – Adam Page vs. ROH Champion Jay Lethal

    Big pop for Bullet Club, and a good pop for Lethal. Crowd somewhat favored Lethal during the match. Back and forth action. Lots of leg selling by Jay. Page ripped off his knee brace at one point. Big pop for a Young Bucks run in. Superkicks on Lethal, but he kicks out. Another attempt and Lethal ducks and Page gets it. Then Lethal diverts one Buck’s superkick into the other Buck. Follows with a Lethal Injection on both a Buck and Page at the same time. Good for the pin. Really good match.

    – Intermission had BJ Whitmer babbling. Crowd wouldn’t let him talk at all. “We want wrestling” chant.

    – Dalton Castle (w/The Boys) vs Kamaitachi 

    Solid match. Fun spots w/ Castle and the Boys. Crowd into it. Castle w/ a bridging suplex for the win.

    – Lio Rush vs Adam Cole

    The rest of the Bullet Club came out w/ Cole. He then sent them off saying he didn’t need them. Really good match. Near falls and hope spots had me believing Rush would win it, especially after he finally hit a frog splash. But Cole caught him with the knee brain buster for a pin. Afterwards, he shook Lio’s hand and called hm the future of ROH. Then he hugged Lio … but it was just a cover for a Superkick party. Bucks were out and nailed Rush and then all 3 did. MCMG ran them off. Best match on the card.

    – War Machine vs. ROH Tag Champions The Addiction (Daniels/Kazarian) in a no DQ title match

    Early part was just WM mauling The Addiction with hairs and trash cans. Then they got Hanson taped outside to the corner and Rowe taped inside by his legs to bottom rope. Lots of offense on Rowe, but couldn’t pin him since feet on ropes! Daniels cut him loose and they tried to pin. Rowe kicks out. Powers up and frees Hanson. More brawling. They hit finisher on Kazrian, but Daniels saved. Then War Machine decided to get the tables.

    Before they can, two big guys (Shane Taylor and Keith Lee) run in and demolish WM with power bomb moves. The Addiction recover and give Hanson a double suplex with a belly landing on the table for the pin.

    – Jay Briscoe vs Rodrick Strong

    Lots of heat on Strong. Back and forth match. Ref bump and Jay got visual pin. Revived ref and hit the Jay Driller, but only got 2. A short exchange and Strong hit his suplex into front codebreaker like finish for a surprise victory. Solid match.
