RESULTS
Preshow
1) Ernie Osiris & Alex Payne defeat Ninja White & Ninja Yellow. Ninjas went Mark Briscoe on Osiris and Payne's asses. Kung Fu double teams. Crowd was really hot for this, chanting "Go ninja go!"
2) D-Ray 3000 defeats Shane (need confirmation on who this was, apparently it wasn't Hagadorn) in a glorified squash. Yet, a very entertaining squash. Ray got "Fear The Fro" chants. Ray was working really stiff.
~Place is totally packed. People are standing everywhere because there is no where left to sit.
Main Show
~ROH returns to Detroit January 30th.
~Age Of The Fall are out to open the show. Jimmy Jacobs and his red bangs & mohawk says that the Age of the Fall have all the power, and with that they refuse to defend the belts tonight on PPV. Briscoes hit the ring and clean house. Age of the Fall try to bail but Aries attacks them!
1) Jay & Mark Briscoe squash Mitch Franklin to defeat he & Silas Young with the Doomsday Device. Silas and the Briscoes were over like mad .... Mitch not so much.
2) Erick Stevens defeats Ruckus, Delirious, & Shane Hagadorn with a Doctor Bomb on Hagadorn. Ruckus and Delirious were very over.
~Aries is out with a mic. He calls out Jimmy Jacobs and Jimmy Jacobs alone. He's attacked by Tyler Black and Mischif. Jimmy then does come out and attacks Aries with a large HOOK! A large portion of the locker room come out to break it up. In the midst of this, Steen gets a mic and demands a title shot for he and El Generico. Jacobs says Steen has to earn it. Steen challenges Jimmy but gets attacked by Necro.
3) Kevin Steen defeats Necro Butcher in an awesome brawl with a Package Piledriver.
4) ROH World Championship: Nigel McGuinness defeats Claudio Castagnoli with a Rebound Lariat to retain the gold in a match that was described as much better than their Hammerstein encounter. Crowd was really letting Nigel have it. "You're a ****er" chants from one section, and "McLariat" chants from another. Nigel sends a message to Dragon yet again using his "I have till 5" in the corner. Nigel busted out the Skull F*** in Detroit to chants of "you're not Shelley". His response was "I'm the best damn wrestler in the world." Nigel retains via Rebound Lariat.
~INTERMISSION~
~Long intermission tonight. Lance Storm STILL has a huge line of people for him and Bushwacker Luke appears quite drunk. Fun night!
5) Silas Young pulling double duty tonight defeats Kenny Omega with a moonsault. Omega looked awesome and the match was very good. Both men got a standing ovation and Omega got the "please come back" treatment.
6) Chris Hero & Go Shiozaki vs. Roderick Strong & Naomichi Marufuji is up. Sweeney offers Marufuji a spot in SNS Inc. Marufuji shoots Sweeney the finger. SNS Inc. attempts to bail, but they're cut off by Lance Storm! Hmm, think he might be over? He puts over ROH big time, and says that tonight he is the special ringside enforcer to keep Sweeney in line!
Fuji was over like god, Strong looked kinda sloppy. Crowd popped more for the chops than anything.
After the match Storm raises Strong's hand only to get jumped from behind. Storm locks Sweeney in the Canadian Maple Leaf. He's blasted from behind by Hero. Sweeney cuts a short promo and leaves. Storm gets a standing ovation and "one more match" chants as he gets back up.
7) Bryan Danielson defeats Tyler Black. Crowd was red hot before the match even begins. Tyler is made aware that his head is in fact in danger of being f***ing kicked in. Dragon is bending and twisting Black up Jack Evans style! Crowd lets Dragon know that he's a sick f*** for doing such a thing!
Tyler Black hurls Dragon in to the corner with a powerbomb so strong that the ring breaks! Dragon kicked out from that, a superkick, and a Small Package Driver! Fans are on their feet for the final 5 minutes. Dragon traps Tyler and finishes him with the elbows. Fans are going nuts for this. MOTY chants. "Their best encounter yet."
~Aries has jumped Jimmy Jacobs and they are beating the hell out of each other. Think Strong/Stevens from Supercard. The brawl has now headed in to the crowd! Aries is now bleeding. They've taken the fight to the autograph table!
