Jerry Lynn/Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Jacobs/Delirious ROH Proving Ground 2009 Night 1 2/6/09

Fine for what it was. Jacobs/Delirious didn’t have enough personality to make it work like Caludio/Nigel last year with Lynn/Danielson. No.

Brent Albright, Roderick Strong, Erick Stevens, Ace Steel, & Jay Briscoe vs. Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Adam Pearce, Bobby Dempsey, & Tank Toland Steel Cage Warfare ROH Caged Collision 1/31/09

This was not very long for a wargames style match, but it accomplished everything it needed to as far as a feud ender went. I thought they set up the stuff with SnS Inc. getting destroyed well and Bobby having enough after the match. It was actually refreshing seeing a match that wasn’t pretending to be epic. This may actually do better then I thought. Keep.

Nigel McGuinness vs El Generico ROH Caged Collision 1/31/09

God make this fucking reign end. Generico’s arm selling wasn’t as good as usual, but it’s a Nigel match and a matchup that I don’t care about anymore. No.

Austin Aries vs Jimmy Jacobs vs Bryan Danielson vs Tyler Black ROH Caged Collision 1/31/09

Good match. There were stories there with Jacobs/Black and the weird relationship with Aries/Jacobs, but it never really amounted to anything and the double pin situations didn’t make sense since it wasn’t elimination. No.

Kevin Steen/El Generico vs American Wolves ROH Motor City Madness 2009 1/30/09

If 09 is as down of a year as I think it will be, then this wouldn’t be the worst match to be kept. Granted this is the first of many matches these teams will have, but this Steenerico match has enough personality to it to be considered. Probably won’t last by the end, but I need a marker anyway. Keep.

Jay Briscoe vs. Nigel McGuinness ROH Motor City Madness 2009 1/30/09

I should probably commend them for not going into overkill, but this was the same old Nigel bullshit.

Tyler Black vs Jerry Lynn ROH Motor City Madness 2009 1/30/09

Was awful for the majority of it until the stretch run which saved it somewhat. Didn’t like this one otherwise. No.
