Let&#8217;s get to the results.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Nigel McGuinness defeated John Walters. This was described as a really good opener, going about 15-20 minutes. It marked the first Walters appearance in ROH in quite awhile. Radican said he would rate the match at about 3 1\/4 stars. After the match, McGuinness got on the mic and said he&#8217;d like to see a lot more of Walters in ROH from now on.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Mercedes Martinez defeated Daizee Haze. This was a Shimmer women&#8217;s match. Radican said the match was short and that he&#8217;d only rate it at about 1 3\/4 stars. The finish came when Martinez used the fisherman&#8217;s buster to get the victory. After the match, Lacey came out and slapped Haze and ran away.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Christopher Daniels defeated Chris Hero. This was described as a really good match with really good crowd heat throughout. At the end, they traded rollups and Daniels ended up getting the victory out of one of his own. &#8220;Chris Hero is the man.&#8221; &#8211; Sean Radican. Radican said he&#8217;d give the match 3 1\/2 stars.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Matt Sydal defeated Claudio Castagnoli. Sydal won with the Sydal Press. Radican said he would rate the match at about 3 stars.<\/p>\n<p>It was announced that ROH would return to Braintree on January 26.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The Briscoes &amp; Steve Corino defeated Homicide &amp; Samoa Joe &amp; BJ Whitmer. Lots of stuff in the match was built around the Corino vs. Homicide feud. At the finish, the Briscoes isolated Homicide while Corino fought off Joe and Whitmer. Jay Briscoe ended up pinning Homicide to get the win for his team. Radican said he would rate the match at about 3 3\/4 stars. Afterward, Corino got on the mic and let Homicide have it. He attacked him and went after his ear, saying that he would kill him in their Fight Without Honor coming up tomorrow night in Philadelphia. Also, Joe attacked Shane Hagadorn, who was at ringside, and ended up busting up his trophy.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2909037871\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Advertisements\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>INTERMISSION<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;PWTorch &#8217;90s Pastcast&#8221; with Patrick Moynahan and Alex McDonald, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/pwtorch-90s-pastcast-moynahan-mcdonald-discuss-pwtorch-newsletter-412-10-26-96-incl-bret-hart-return-promo-survivor-series-lineup--76236243\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PWTorch \u201890s Pastcast - Moynahan &amp; McDonald discuss PWTorch Newsletter #412 (10-26-96) incl.

The finish came when Cabana locked in a reverse Boston crab for the submission victory. Radican said he would rate this at about 2 3\/4 stars.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Bryan Danielson defeated Delirious to retain the ROH World Title. Delirious had Danielson in his submission finisher, and the referee dropped Danielson&#8217;s arm twice. However, Danielson then fired up and got to his feet. He climbed the turnbuckles and pushed backwards to pin Delirious while still in the move. Radican said he would give the match 3 1\/2 stars.<\/p>\n<p>(8) Austin Aries &amp; Roderick Strong defeated Kenta &amp; Davey Richards. Radican said this was perhaps the stiffest match he has ever seen, and that includes Joe vs. Kobashi and Japanese matches. KENTA kicked Aries as hard as he could and Aries returned fire, and there was a &#8220;This is awesome&#8221; chant less than two minutes into the match. The match featured some great back and forth stiff action throughout. ROH owner Cary Silkin, who was taking photographs of the matches at ringside, even reacted positively to the match, after trying to remain stoic for the other matches. There were lots of false finishes and plenty of great double team moves from both teams. A series of dives to the outsides led to a &#8220;Holy shit&#8221; chant from the crowd. At one point, KENTA hit a top rope falcon arrow, but Aries kicked out of it at the last possible second. The finish came when Strong lifted Richards on his shoulders. Richards grabbed hold of the top rope, and Aries kept punching away at him. Richards let go of the ropes and Aries soccer kicked him in the face seemingly as hard as he possibly could. Strong then gave Richards Hardcore Holly&#8217;s old Alabama Slam maneuver, and then took out KENTA on the outside. Aries hit a 450 splash on Richards for the pinfall victory. After the match, Aries got on the microphone and vowed that he and Strong would win the tag team titles the next night in Philadelphia. Radican described this as a 5 star match-up.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pro Wrestling Then and Now - ECW Hostile City Showdown 1995\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W0izErUZWiI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1632579729\"><div id=\"pwtor-3212720614\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Advertisements\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The following is a report originally published here 20 years ago this week\u2026 ROH Live Event November 3, 2006 Braintree, Mass.
