As soon as the Main Event became non-title, McGuiness was going to lose. I would have much rathered see Tyler Black win the match.
it sounded like an OK show. Aries winning is lame though, I would've expected Nigel to like "pick up the scraps" with Aries & Black killing each other. but the Saturday show is going to be freaking great, I know it. and I still wonder why Chicago fans still bitched about not getting a big show when they get 4 matches that could main event any other show.

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense to have Aries win.
Im not too fond on these result or what i've heard about the show.

I think it does. Now Tyler Black has a reason to interfere in tonight's match between Aries and Jacobs. Black probably ends up costing Jimmy the match, and Tyler goes solo.
My problem is that Nigel's announcement about the match being non-title was a dead giveaway that he would lose the match.
Still, I'll give ROH the benefit of the doubt for now, but they damn sure better deliver in tonight's show, one that looks almost impossible to fuck up.

I agree about the part, that tonight they must deliver. This is probably the biggest card I've seen since i've started watching ROH. If they F' this up, i think they are going to lose a handful of faithful fans.
Let me example as to why, I think Aries winning doesnt make sense:
Now that he's beating Nigel, he's basically in line for "another" title shot. I think he's ran out of chances to beat Nigel in my opinion.
As far as Jacobs/Black breaking, I REALLY do hope this is all a swerve to beat Aries. I'll ROH credit if its a swerve, because a swerve here, makes total sense. Jacobs and Necro just broke up, its too early to have Black go solo, imo. SLOW BUILD. You know.

To be fair, there has been some build-up to Black going solo. Things like him getting close in multiple occasions to winning the title with Jacobs nowhere in sight. Things like Black getting pissed at Driven when Jimmy put himself (And Aries) through the table, they teased some dissension after the Steel Cage Warfare, and they've done the same after some recent losses.
Its been subtle, but a turn has been built for the past couple of months.

The thing is that Necro only just left AOTF. Having the two leave one after the other makes it feel very rushed, even though there has been some slow buildup.

SnS in control til Strong got in there and tore it up! Dunkin Donuts chants to Sinclair.
I QUIT MATCH

Aries says he has no second....for now. Austin Aries wins in 22:13 after LACEY returns and is about throw in the towel for Aries after Jacobs won't stop biting at Aries' bloody head. Lacey slaps Jimmy. Crowd is chanting DIE JIMMY DIE!These two are giving it everything in this awesome brawl. Microphone shots to Jimmys head.Singlehanded bulldog from the top rope to the outside and through a table by both men!! Tyler then tries to throw in the towel and Lacey stops him. Jimmy then quits after Aries has him in a crossface and is stabbing him with the Spike! Sick spot with a spear by Jimmy to Aries through the middle rope and off the apron and onto a steel chair ont he outside!!! Lots of brawling in the crowd and on the outside and lots of blood here. Tyler helping out Jimmy and gets booed big time from the crowd for it. Sick brawl of a match. After the match Jimmy is pissed at Tyler and he leaves Jimmy in the ring with Aries. Staredown and both end up shaking hands. (JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT LAST SENTENCE!)
*Sorry about delays but the board is lagging as always on show night.
ROH WORLD TITLE
7.) Nigel McGuinness Vs. Bryan Danielson
Handshake and the bell.....some great chain wrestling to start. just what you expect from these two. Dueling chants. Danielson works Nigels arm. They steal eachothers moves for heat and pops. Nigel does a figure four to get a Wooooo from the crowd. More updates as I get them. Back and forth match. Soccer kicks to the back of Nigel after some strikes. Sinclair gets involved and Danielson gets clipped. Danielson on the ropes, falls, Sinclair pushes him back up and he eats a lariat! Nigel to the outside and Danielson then does his Springboard Front flip in the aisle. Claudio then comes out and nails Dragon with a chair. Sinclair starts to count and out comes Sugarfoot who drags Dragon back into the ring for a huge pop!Defeaning atmosphere and tons of pinfalls. CATTLE MUTILATION! Epic match as they are both kicking out of everything! Danielson ducks a lariat only to then be hit by a Rebound Lariat for the win!
WINNER AND STILL ROH WORLD CHAMPION: NIGEL MCGUINNESS IN 28:08!
8.) Samoa Joe DEF. Tyler Black in 18:56.
Massive pop for Joe as expected. Joe is in perfect form here as they trade blows and get this one off hot! Tyler goes for his middle rope body press and Joe just walks out of the way. Joe does tope to the outside and then says to the Referee "what are you doing counting!? This is ROH!" Joe hits his Ole kick to break the count. From my report I have this being said it just may be the second version of Joe Vs. Kobashi. ISLAND DRIVER for a 1 count kickout which drove the crowd wild! Tyler goes for his Phoenix Splash and misses and Joe then goes for his top rope Musclebuster but misses. STJOE followed by the Musclebuster and the Choke and you can put this one in the books!
Joe ends the show with a heart felt promo and puts over ROH and the boys in the back. F*ck TNA chants throughout the promo as well.
So far it looks like a great show.

Ace Steel is fucking awesome. 
@ WWE ever releasing him while they had him.
I would have thought that The Briscoes vs Steenerico would have got more time. Apart from that, looks great thus far.

^^^ Mark Briscoe supposedly suffered a knee injury last night, that's probably why the match was kept short.

Makes sense then.
With it starting out strong and some big matches later, this should be one of the beest events for the year.
