· Once again, I don’t watch ROH, but here are some ROH results…from Japan…
1) YAMATO defeated Eddie Edwards in what might be Eddie's best match in ROH (not taking anything away from the Roderick Strong one at the Hammerstein)
2) Austin Aries defeated Ryo Saito in another good match in about 13 minutes. Afterwards, Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black attacked Aries and Jacobs put him out with the End Time. Jacobs then basically said that The Age Of The Fall would cause chaos in Japan.
3) Larry Sweeney was irate that Edwards lost and went off on the Japanese fans, earning their boos. Sweeney then called out Roderick Strong to wrestle Davey Richards. Strong defeated Richards in 25 minutes in a very hot match. These two tore the house down and the fans were really into it. Strong had some words for Kensuke Sasaki on the mic after the contest to build up tomorrow's match. Davey is a monster now.
4) El Generico scored a huge win as he teamed with Shingo & Dragon Kid to defeat Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino & BxB Hulk in about 22 minutes. This was awesome and right up there with all the Dragon Gate six mans. I just sat in the crowd and really enjoyed this one as I love this style of match. Hulk and Shingo had some wicked exchanges and everyone was on in this one.
5) Bryan Danielson defeated ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness in a non-title match in about 22 minutes. This started as a very technical match and built into a hard-hitting match. The fans really loved it. Another great match in the series between these two. After the bout, Bryan got on the mic and said he just defeated the ROH World Champion and tomorrow he will go after the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title.
6) Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black defeated Jay & Mark Briscoe to retain the ROH World Tag Team Titles. This match was a total brawl that got some "holy s***" and "ROH" chants from the Japanese fans. The final three matches all contrasted each other perfectly.
· Now, we got a TNA House Show…
TNA House Show Results - 9/13/08
Location: London, Ontario, Canada
Thought I'd let you know what happened tonight at the John Labatt Center. Here are the results but not necessarily in the order they were on the card.
Eric Young vs. Petey Williams vs. Johnny Divine.
Eric Young took the Canadian Destroyer almost immediately and then turned into Super Eric under the ring and came back in and scored the pinfall. I believe he pinned Johnny Devine. No title change as it was a non title match.
Taylor Wilde pinned Angelina Love when special referee Traci Brooks pushed Love for getting in her face. Taylor rolled her up as she was falling back and pinned her.
Beer Money beat Motor City Machine Guns with a low blow to retain their titles.
AJ Styles beat Sheik Abdul after hitting him with the Styles Clash.
Rhino gored and then pinned Abyss. They shook hands after the match and then Abyss hit Rhino with the black hole slam.
Consequences Creed beat Sonjay Dutt.
Kurt Angle came out and said he wished he was fighting but he wasn't and he said TNA would be back and he promised he'd be on the card and they'd be taping for Spike TV.
Samoa Joe beat Christian Cage. When it was over Samoa Joe hyped TNA saying how hard everybody worked. Christian took the mic and said "This is the way we do it in Canada" and announced Joe as still the heavyweight champion.
· Another ROH Event in Japan…
1A) In the dark match Tetsuya Naito & Yujiro defeated Genba Hirayanagi & Kotaro Suzuki in a wild match. This will be a bonus on the DVD of tonight's event.
1) The lights went out and the music started and the ROH show was underway. Austin Aries crashed Bobby Cruise's open and after the happenings of last night demanded that his match against Tyler Black start immediately. Aries defeated Black with the Last Chancery, but after the match Jimmy Jacobs put out Aries with the End Time and promised more chaos and said that he would win the World Title in the main event.
2) Kazushi Miyamoto defeated Eddie Edwards when Larry Sweeney's interference backfired. The fans really got into Sweeney. After the match it looked like Sweeney and Edwards might have been on the outs, but they made up with a big hug. The Japanese fans really reacted to that.
3) Taiji Ishimori defeated El Generico in a really athletic match.
4) Davey Richards debut his new finisher to earn him and Takeshi Morishima a win over Jay & Mark Briscoe. After the match, Jacobs and Tyler Black attacked The Briscoes.
5) Bryan Danielson defeated Yoshinobu Kanemaru to win the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title in just over 20 minutes. This was a great match and I was fortunate to just sit in the crowd and watch it. The fans were really behind Bryan and when he won they were overjoyed and surprised. It was really a genuine moment when he won as everyone was really happy for Bryan. There aren't a lot of moments like that and I don't know if it will come across on the DVD, but live it was something I'll never forget.
6) Things got turned up a notch after intermission with the dream tag. KENTA & Kota Ibushi went to a 30 minute draw vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Katsuhiko Nakajima. They then went to a 5 minute overtime, which ended in a draw. This was just unreal. I don't want to hype it too much as I'll let you just watch it for yourself. I've never heard kicks likeNakajima's. This was the most over match of the night with the fans. These guys are really the new stars in Japan.
7) Kensuke Sasaki defeated Roderick Strong in a very even match in about 12 minutes.
8) Nigel McGuinness retained the ROH World Title against Jimmy Jacobs in a classic heel/face match that the fans got into. I have to be honest. I feared for these guys. This was a long show with a lot of great stuff on it. I figured the crowd would be tired and knew they would have a tough time. Instead, they told a great story in the match and the fans totally got into it. Hats off to Nigel and Jacobs.

The crowd starts up a "YOU'RE A LEGEND" chant. Sting thanks them and said he has finalized contract negotiations to face the winner of tonight's Four Ways to Glory match at Bound For Glory next month. He said he wants to talk about something he has been mentioning recently. Sting said tonight you will see tons of wrestling talent. He said just because you have talent doesn't mean you are the best at your game or the best at life. Sting said you have to walk the walk and talk the talk as one of his good friends told him. The fans let out a "WOOOOOOO." Sting brings up respect and said he can't let this one go. He said what separates the men from the boys is respect. Sting said there are some true men backstage, but there are also snot nosed baby brats back there as well. He said he brings his cause all the way to Canada because 10 years ago, another man fought for the same cause he is fighting for and someone you can all identity with. Sting says this man was Bret "The Hitman" Hart. Big reaction. He said Bret fought for the same thing he is fighting for right now and will take up where Bret left off. Sting said he is not even going to think about retirement until people like Samoa Joe and AJ Styles know what respect is all about. Sting ends it saying, "AJ and Joe, it's showtime!"
Sting's music hits and he heads up the ramp to the back.
- We see footage from earlier today of Christian Cage arriving to the arena.
- At ringside, Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us to the PPV. Tenay brings up that Booker T was not able to make it to Canada tonight for the PPV due to issues with Hurricane Ike. They wish the best to everyone in that area and a speedy recovery. Both rundown the card for tonight's PPV.
