I also saw Elias Young, Punishment, Kingdom, and Jay Lethal shirts as well.\u00a0 They had a second stand as well that was selling a ton of ROH DVDs and fidget spinners. During intermission, The Kingdom was actually at the stand, trying to talk people out of buying Bullet Club shirts and buy their own.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Show 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kazarian starts the night by cutting a promo and calls out the fans for their lack of respect to himself and Christopher Daniels.\u00a0 He makes fun of the fan&#8217;s use of streamers, which of course causes some fans to throw streamers at him.\u00a0 He then makes fun of the fan&#8217;s stupid chants. Jonny Fairplay reported that people chanted &#8220;We love streamers&#8221; at this point, but everyone near me literally\u00a0chanted &#8220;Stupid Chant,&#8221; which in my opinion, is better in this situation.\u00a0 He then threatened to ruin &#8220;what we love&#8221; before he called all of us stupid marks and mic-dropped out of the ring.\u00a0 Gret heel\u00a0work\u00a0in this promo and it got the fans excited for the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) Punishment Martinez defeated Flip Gordon in 8:00.\u00a0<\/strong>This was a decent match. The move of the match came in Gordon\u2019s entrance when he took off his pants while backflipping off the top-rope.\u00a0 Martinez won when he was dazed on top of the turnbuckle, but caught Gordon attempting a top-rope move, and hit him with an Avalanche Chokeslam for the pin.\u00a0 A good spot to end the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) Rhett Titus\u00a0defeated Cheeseburger in 3:00.\u00a0<\/strong>Titus hit Cheeseburger with a cheap-shot to start the match.\u00a0 Cheeseburger was making a quick comeback, but his rival (I can\u2019t remember his name) came to interfere, which allowed Titus to win the match.\u00a0 Afterwards, Titus walked past a fan with an \u201cI hate you\u201d sign.\u00a0 Titus yanked it from the fan and ripped it up in front of him.\u00a0 This got a lot of heat from the fans.<\/p>\n<p>-Dalton Castle came out on stage to confront Cabana.\u00a0 He suggested that Colt find two partners and challenge both him and The Boys for the six-man Tag Championships. Dalton states that this match will take place \u201cnext week\u201d which did draw boos from the crowd.\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit I have been caught in the WWE bubble, so I booed as well, forgetting about the multiple tapings that will take place.\u00a0 Dalton, hearing the boos, quickly amended that it will take place \u201cat this building next week\u201d which then quickly calmed down the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Kenny King wrestled Kushida to a no contest in 8:00 so Kushida retained the ROH TV Championship.\u00a0<\/strong>This was a hard-fought match.\u00a0 Kushida moved out the way from a Corkscrew Plancha from King, but luckily King was able to land on all fours to avoid a hard landing on the floor.\u00a0 This would be followed by Kushida hitting a hurricanrana from the outside into the turnbuckle for a hard-hitting spot.\u00a0 The two would go back into the ring for a couple more minutes with Kushida attempting the Kimura a couple more times before The Bullet Club (Adam Page and Marty Scurll) would interfere and end the match.\u00a0 King and Kushida would fight back on the Club\u2019s assult and agree to team up for a match right away.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-941426826\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><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><strong>(4) Kenny King &amp; Kushida defeated Hangman Page &amp; Marty Scurll in 11:00.\u00a0<\/strong>This was a pretty good match that got a \u201cThis is Awesome\u201d chant from the crowd.\u00a0 The Club was on offense for the entire first half of the match before Kushida finally got the hot tag for the comeback.\u00a0 Here the match quickly picked up gears in which everyone essentially traded signature moves for the last few minutes \u00a0before King got the pin.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Show 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>(1)\u00a0<\/b><strong>Best Friends defeated Coast to Coast in 12:00.\u00a0<\/strong>It was a fun match that mostly involved Best Friends making the crowd laugh with their offense.\u00a0 Nothing much to add here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) Jay Brisco defeated Matt Taven by DQ in 11:00.\u00a0<\/strong>The story of the match mostly involved Jay fighting off the other two members of Kingdom while fighting the third.\u00a0 One member came out in a walking boot and a crutch, but when Jay took his crutch to create an equalizer against the three members, the injured member took off his boot and reveled he was faking his injury.\u00a0 He then proceeded to attack Jay with the book to get Taven disqualified.\u00a0 All three members of The Kingdom them grabbed chairs and hit Jay with a triple Concerto after the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Dalton Castle &amp; The Boys defeated Colt Cabana &amp; The Tempura Boys in 14:00 to retain the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Titles.\u00a0<\/strong>This might have been match of the night.\u00a0 The crowd quickly fell in love with Dalton\u2019s charisma and glamor, and cheered for him, while booing Cabana.\u00a0 The Boy\u2019s stole the show during this match as they kept trying to illegally switch behind the ref\u2019s back for comedy and became furniture for Dalton in order to taunt Cabana.\u00a0 After the match, Dalton asked Colt if he has his respect now after Dalton beat him three times.\u00a0 Colt agreed and all six-men shook hands to end the second show and to start intermission.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Show 3<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>(1) War Machine defeated Jonathan Gresham &amp; Jay White in 10:00.\u00a0<\/strong>This was another choice for the best match of the entire night.\u00a0 I would suggest watching this episode among the others for this match, though I will say it was probably more enjoyable when we didn\u2019t know who was going to win.\u00a0 I have never seen War Machine before, so they definitely won me over with their surprisingly high level of athleticism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) Josh Woods defeated Shane Taylor in 6:00.\u00a0<\/strong>Taylor was getting a lot of heat in this match by bullying both the crowd and the referee.\u00a0 At one point, we heard Taylor say something inappropriate to the ref, and I heard the crowd chant towards Taylor.\u00a0 It almost sounded like \u201cWatch Your Mouth, Boy,\u201d but I sure hope I misheard them.\u00a0 Taylor grabs a chair towards the end of the match, but the ref took it from him before he can use it, and this allowed Woods to roll up Taylor for an upset win.<\/p>\n<p><b>(3)\u00a0<strong>The Young Bucks wrestled The\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><strong>Motor City Machine Guns to a No Contest in 13:00 so the Bucks retained the ROH Tag Team Championships.\u00a0<\/strong>The crowd was behind the Young Bucks the entire time they were out there; it was a total superstar reaction.\u00a0 This match felt very similar to the TV title match earlier in the night.\u00a0 The two fought back and forth for 12 minutes, and The Young Bucks were just starting their Superkick party.\u00a0 They landed about two or three, when Kazarian fulfilled his earlier threat and jumped the barricade with Daniels to attack all four men to throw out the match.\u00a0 The match participants however, would eventually fight back and push Kazarian\/Daniels out of the ring, and they would celebrate together in the ring with The Young Bucks proclaiming to the MCMG that they would get their rematch soon.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Show 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>(1) Jay Lethal defeated Beer City Bruiser in a no-DQ match in 13:00.\u00a0<\/strong>The two both came on stage already fighting.\u00a0 Security guards followed to block the entranceway in order to prevent Silas Young from interfering. Most of the match involved the two brawling outside, using chairs and the barricade as weapons.\u00a0 The match ended when Lethal tied Bruiser to the bottom rope with tape and then proceeded to target his knee with chars and a keg.\u00a0 Lethal would win with the figure-four as he taunted Young the whole time to infuriate him.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3601573870\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(2) Bully Ray &amp; Mark Brisco defeated Hangman Page &amp; Cody by DQ in 11:00.\u00a0<\/strong>This was a standard WWE-style main event tag match.\u00a0 It was back-and-forth the entire time, and each person was able to have their short moment in the match.\u00a0 Halfway through, Scurll came to interfere against Bully Ray, but before he could do anything, Jay Brisco came out and attacked Scurll.\u00a0 The two brawled throughout the arena before fighting towards the back for the end of the match.\u00a0 It looked as if Bully was going to get the win, but Kingdom came out and attacks both Bully Ray and Jay to give them a DQ victory.<\/p>\n<p>After the match,\u00a0Cody and Page fled during Kingdom\u2019s beatdown.\u00a0 Jay Brisco came back out to save his brother and even up the score, but Kingdom still beat all three up. The three men grabbed a table and tried to put one of the Brisco brothers through it, but the other two got up and fight back.\u00a0 Two of the Kingdom members got thrown out of the ring, leaving one left to get triple Powerbombed through the table.\u00a0 Bully Ray got a microphone and thanked the crowd for coming out.\u00a0 He said that he knows it was a long night, but he confidently asked if the fans had a good time tonight.\u00a0 He then brought two kids into the ring, jokingly gave one a hard time for wearing a John Cena shirt, and then gave both kids each a shard of the broken table (which sounds completely dangerous, by the way).\u00a0 He raised their hands with the Briscos, and the show finally came to an end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Considering this was my first time seeing ROH in person, I will say I enjoyed the experience.\u00a0 The fact that it was a TV taping, however, definitely dropped the quality of the show as opposed to a house show or a PPV.\u00a0 From bell to bell, and including the intermission, the whole experience lasted over five-and-a-half hours, and all of the big matches had interference and didn&#8217;t have a true ending.\u00a0 The value was good for the talent present, but I will probably only come back to an ROH show if it is a non-TV taping.<\/p>\n<p>BEST REACTIONS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(1) Young Buck (by far)<\/p>\n<p>(2) Tie between Cody and Jay Brisco<\/p>\n<p>(3) Kushida<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT REPORT:<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4232444072\"><div id=\"pwtor-1133184282\"><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>ROH TV TAPING REPORT JULY 29, 2017 CHARLOTTE, N.C.
