I still say it looks a bit underwhelming, considering that the DBD shows are usually some of the better shows that ROH puts on every year.

I'm not saying the show looks bad but it really doesn't look all that good either, there are a few matches I wouldn't mind watching but for a show that is usually pretty good this looks disappointing.

Just got back from ROH's second show in Toronto in a row. Tonight was definitely much more solid in terms of quality matches. Last 3 matches were a really good way of ending the night. I talked to one of the ring crew members before the show, and he confirmed that Nigel was brought to the hospital last night after the show. Show again opened with some bonus matches, my apologies as I didn't get the names of a few of the wrestlers.
Pre-Show Matches:
(I joined this one in progress)
Bobby Dempsey, Alex Payne, 3rd guy b. Flatliners + some dude
Main Card:
-Announcer came out to same that Nigel McGuinness couldn't perform tonight as he wasn't medically cleared to go.
The Smash Bros. b. Kevin Steen & El Generico
-comedy match with some fun spots. Uno got the pin on Steen for the win. Both teams played babyface.
Frankie the Mobster b. via DQ Bison Smith
-Uneventful match. Frankie won the match by DQ after Bison hit the ref Todd Sinclair. Bison worked heel, but crowd popped for him when he went for Sinclair.
First Annual Toronto Gauntlet Match for a future title shot:
-Started with Jerry Lynn and D-Lo Brown. Lynn pinned D-Lo. Sonjay Dutt then enters for some fun spots. Lynn eliminates Dutt after hitting cradle piledriver. Jimmy Rave enters and the crowd shits on him almost literally. At least a dozen rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the ring. Rave pins Lynn after hitting a neckbreaker on him. Necro Butcher enters and is eliminated later with Prince Nana of The Embassy helping. Finally Davey Richards enters and wins the match after hitting the kimura on Rave. Overall match was really good, and was worked at a better pace, as compared to the 8-man tag last night.
-Ric Flair came out to make a speech. He spoke longer than Bret did yesterday and the crowd ate it all up. Talked about sleeping with many women in Niagara Falls and also Toronto. Thanked the people for appreciated true wrestling and ROH for letting him come. Reminded the crowd how much he loved Canadian women. Awesome.
Claudio Castagnoli b. Brent Albright
-EUROPEAN RULES. Crowd shat on this match because of the complicated rules. There was supposed to be ten 3 minute rounds or something. There were also yellow flags and red flags. Majority of people didn't understand what was going on. Claudio won with help from Jimmy Rave who ran in. Post-match, the rest of the Embassy came to beat down Albright, but Colt Cabana, Necro Butcher, and Grizzly Redwood made the save.
Intermission
Tyler Black b. Tyson Dux
-Dux was replacement for Nigel who couldn't fight. Really great match, would have been phenomenal but went short. Black took it real easy compared to last night with all the kamikaze moves. Dux really over with the crowd as he's from the area. Both played babyface though.
Colt Cabana b. Joey Ryan
-Colt cuts a promo on how Ryan won the 8-man match last night. Convinces Sinclair to make the match a NO RULES match. Didn't go too crazy with the plunder. Story of the match was Ryan and Prince Nana constantly messing with the ring announcer's chairs and table, with Colt constantly helping out the announcer. Chants of "He's got manners". Cabana became the hero of the night when he ran to the back to get bags of garbage (presumably from all the garbage outside) and used them as weapons, mocking Toronto's garbage strike. Went over huge. Chants of "Garbage strike".
Austin Aries comes out to address Kenny Omega's challenge last night. Teases that he's going to give him the match in Toronto... but not tonight. Rhett Titus and Kenny King run in to help Aries beatdown Omega. Briscoes run in to make the save. Impromptu 6-man Tag.
Kenny Omega, Briscoes b. Austin Aries, Rhett Titus, Kenny King
-Really great match. Most of the action kept in ring. Omega got the pin on Aries after a quick roll-up.
Chris Hero b. Lance Storm
-Match of the night. Crowd was red hot for Storm. Lots of mat wrestling and chain wrestling throughout. Excellent technical match, the 2 worked great together. Hero got the win after use of a foreign object.
Lance made a speech afterwards thanking the crowd for coming out. Said IF this was his last match ever, then he was glad it was here with ROH and with the Toronto crowd. He was happy that people still appreciated what true prowrestling was. Huge pop throughout, and great way to end the night.
Huge upset in that opening tag-match. Hopefully this leads to more Super Smash Bros in ROH.

Wow, Nigels hurt again already, that was quick and I bet it screws with alot of the plans they may have had for him. Good that they found a nice replacement for him, sounds like Black/Dux could have been great if given the time but they would have had to write the match up from scratch so you can't blame them.
Looks like a pretty good show, alot going on, there are a few matches I'd really like to watch, the Main Event and Gauntlet match and others but then there are a couple I really don't wanna see like Frankie the Mobster Vs Bison Smith or the European Rules match which sounds stupid. Still though looks like it was better then the previous show.

That looks like a pretty good show, especially the last couple of matches. They were missing a couple of major guys, but the card was still strong. I really want to see that Hero/Storm match.
European rules seemed odd. And the only thing I remember about Franky the Mobster is him kissing Kevin Steen (I think) at a PWG Show. Steen and Generico seemed kinda lame, they are the native Canadians and they didn't really capitalize on that by putting them in the first match.

Results/Spoilers from last night's tv tapings:
-The cage is up, so it looks like they'll start with the Claudio-Albright match, then tear it down and proceed with the rest of the taping.
-There are a bunch of kids here tonight, most of them wearing WWE shirts. I always wonder how they react to more athletic-based companies like WWE and if they get bored with the lack of 20 minute promos and goofy characters.
-There are some seats open, but the place is mostly full.
Opening Match:
-Brent Albright defeated Claudio Castagnoli in a Cage Match.
Dark Matches:
-Bobby Dempsey and a partner I didn't recognize (something Matthews) beat two other guys I didn't recognize. I'm pretty sure this was a dark match
-Tony Dees defeated Bruno Marciano.
Episode 1:
-Delirious (with Daizee Haze) defeated Andy "Right Leg" Ridge.
-Tyler Black and Jerry Lynn defeated Rhett Titus and Kenny King.
-Sara Del Rey defeated Nikki Roxx.
-Sonjay Dutt defeated Alex Payne, then cut a promo saying he's setting his sights on Delirious. That is the end of episode 1.
Episode 2:
-The Young Bucks defeated The Dark City Fight Club
-Bison Smith squashed Sal Rinauro. After the match, Prince Nana brought out Joey Ryan and challenged anyone in the back to come out and face him. This led to...
-Colt Cabana defeated Joey Ryan by submission.
-Nigel McGuinness cut a great promo from the crowd talking about his injuries, and the gist is that next time he gets hurt, he's hurting his opponent worse.
-Kevin Steen/El Generico and the Briscoes fought to a no-contest when the American Wolves ran in and attacked both teams. After the match, Steen and Generico challenged the Wolves to Ladder War II in New York City.
Episode 3:
-Austin Aries comes out to randomely draw his opponent for the evening, and draws Kenny Omega. Unfortunately Omega's not here, so he draws another name and it's Grizzly Redwood. Aries defeats him with a brainbuster.
-Erick Stevens defeated Brandon Day
-Necro Butcher defeated Jimmy Rave by DQ when Bison Smith did a run-in
-Roderick Strong, KENTA, and Bryan Danielson defeated Chris Hero and the American Wolves.

Glory By Honor VIII Results
sounds like Show of the Year. Main Event must have been an amazing way to end both Danielson's and Nigel's ROH careers. Jim Cornette back in ROH should be interesting.

I wonder if this "executive producer" deal is another way of saying that Cornette is the new ROH booker. If so, ROH has done a GREAT decision.
