Declaration of Independents

I'm posting these here as well as on the ROH board as a back up, just in case the ROH board should get insanely slow or even crash tonight. That way people will still be able to see them here. Discussion is welcome here as well if people so desire.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pre-Show

a. Robby Wolfe d. Ray ??? Apologies for missing last name of 2nd competitor, audio isn't very good.

c. Grizzly Redwood o. ??? - in your pre-show Main Event!


Main Show


1. The Young Bucks d. Up In Smoke - Bucks win with More Bang for Your Buck. Was a good, competitive match.

2. Delirious d. Sonjay Dutt - After the match, Sonjay kissed Daizee Haze. She slapped him, and Sonjay put Daizee in the Camel Clutch!

3. Claudio Castagnoli d. Petey Williams, Chris Hero, & El Generico in a Four Corner Survival - Claudio pinned Petey Williams with the Ricola Bomb. Match was said to be all action, and Hero and Claudio did work together on occasion.

4. Kevin Steen d. Eddie Edwards in an Anything Goes Match - Steen wins with a Package Piledriver through 4 chairs.

Intermission - Attendance appears to be in the 550 range.

5. Dark City Fight Club d. Alex Payne & Bobby Dempsey

6. Roderick Strong d. Nigel McGuinness - Strong wins after two Gibson Drivers.

7. Austin Aries & Rhett Titus d. Colt Cabana & Kenny Omega - Colt had the Billy Goat's Curse on, Aries kicked him low, and then kicked him in the head, allowing Rhett to pin Cabana.

8. Davey Richards d. Bryan Danielson - Davey wins with the kimura, after hitting the shooting star press as well. "Match of the year" chant afterwards, said to be an incredible match!

The main event was fuckin sick last night! Incredible piece of art that could have gone on another 20 min but both men were exhausted. Dragon hit all his big moves, Davey started offf very "heelish" then just became the greatest wrestler in the world while accepting the torch that was being handed him. Gregh, ROHFanatic, Bobo and Evander , Strokerace, Tristen and RVT were all going nuts it was crazy!!

This sounds...what's that Yankee saying again...off the hook? Awesome anyhow. And buh gaaawd, it's only the prelude to tonight. Ya'll keep going even crazier, hear me? I want to be thinking about retroactively calling in large men in white scrubs, carrying straightjackets when watching this weekend on DVD.

Classic main event with a good crew of gregh boarders in town!!!

woke up with a headache and the runs but nonetheless. Onto NYC. Glory By HOnor.

Glad you all had fun last night! Get ready for "the main event" tonight!

Davey/Dragon is one of those matches that just couldn't have sucked, not a chance...and had a good chance to be epic. Sounds like it hit the mark...can't wait to pick up the DVD!

I'm sure most people know this but Eddie broke his elbow last night. There is no way he should be doing a ladder match with a broken elbow, it's just too dangerous.

So do the wolves drop the belts?
Does the ladder war still take place, but becoming a spotfest exhibition rather than a feud ender?
does davey get another partner or does he get plugged into a new programme?
Can RoH use this to push the likes of strong/davey/hero etc?

I'd use Daveys momentum from last night and have him face and defeat Aries. Have him cut a promo about pack mentality saying only the strong survive etc etc and Eddie was weak, something along those lines and that now he's world champ the tag titles mean nothing to him. Then plug a few teams into the ladder match Briscoes, Young Bucks, DCFC whoever they want and have it for the vacated titles.

My fear is they'll put Hagadorn in there...please don't do that!

I like Platt's idea alot...don't know if they'll do it...but it would be cool, and give ROH a "new" feel as things are changing so much tonight with Danielson and Nigel's departures anyways. New World Champ in Davey...new tag champs (heck, strap the rocket to the Young Bucks or DCFC if we're going to shake the foundation all up) and let her rip!

I'm not a fan of plugging people into the ladder match. Ideally, drop the ladder match. It doesn't make sense to keep what RoH have made a huge feud ender a normal match, even if it is a title match.

Lonewolf suggested maybe an Round robin challenge between the Bucks, Briscoes and Steen & Generico...

I thought that Cheech and Cloudy were awesome and wrestled every bit as good if not better than the Bucks.
