Kevin Steen/El Generico vs American Wolves ROH End of an Age 6/27/09

Probably one of there least matches. Didn’t get interesting until the stretch run. No.

Tyler Black vs KENTA ROH End of an Age 6/27/09

This match was in total cruise control. No.

Jimmy Jacobs vs Tyler Black Steel Cage Match ROH Violent Tendencies 6/26/09

Wasn’t as good as it should have been. The crowd wasn’t as hot and the match took too long to get going. Disappointing. No.

American Wolves vs KENTA/Roderick Strong ROH Violent Tendencies 6/26/09

On first watch, this was very good. The Wolves do the smart thing and don’t do leg work and just elect have these four beat each other into a bloody pulp. You do have one pretty significant botch in this, but there is just too much good stuff in it to not give it another shot. Keep.

Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. House Of Truth ROH Violent Tendencies 6/26/09

Not that good for the most part, but actually was kind of fun in the end. The balding HOT member was decent, and the bald one sucked. Meaningful for being Truth’s Martini’s first appearance in these reviews. No.

Roderick Strong vs KENTA (ROH on HDNet 14) 6/20/09

Good 10 minute match, but you still felt like they held back. Not in the kick/chop exchanges, but that they just went to the next parts of the match like they were sleepwalking through a script. No.

American Wolves vs Kevin Steen/El Generico Submission Match ROH Manhattan Mayhem III 06/13/09

Good, but there have been too many better matches in this feud. Mostly, the crowd heat is not as explosive, the hate isn’t as palletible, and the selling isn’t on the god tier. The match is still always going to be good, but it does feel like it is peaking. No.
