Jerry Lynn vs Jay Briscoe ROH Validation 5/9/09

Bored the piss out me because there wasn’t any doubt Jerry was losing. No.

American Wolves vs Bryan Danielson/Kevin Steen ROH Validation 5/9/09

Didn’t quite have the heat of the other matches in this feud, but I still enjoyed this. Here, the Wolves beat the shit out of Danielson for a change and dissect his leg. Bryan sells well for the most part and then you got the stuff involving Bryan/Edwards which the match was mostly about. I don’t know if the crowd heat will hurt it on rewatch, but I see no reason not to include it. Keep.

Jerry Lynn vs Chris Hero ROH Never Say Die 5/8/09

Good, but again directionless. I’ll say this much, Lynn does build his moves in a logical and treats his cradle piledriver as the match ender, but the matches tend to not have any substance to them except the spots. Hero didn’t do the match any favors and the million forearms that don’t get a pin just doesn’t work for me. He’ll get it, but not in this match. No.

Davey Richards vs Kevin Steen Anything Goes Match ROH Never Say Die 5/8/09

This feud continues to rule it. These two are dicks to each other and the matches continue to be fun. Could get cut by the rewatch phase, but since 09 is considered weak, I’m giving it a little more leniency. Keep.

Tyler Black vs Bryan Danielson (ROH on HDNet 6) 4/25/09

Good match as always with them. It works as the first part to their tv story, but there really isn’t anything to sink your teeth into otherwise. No.

Jerry Lynn vs. Colt Cabana ROH The Homecoming 2 4/25/09

Fine, but directionless main event. No.

American Wolves vs. Kevin Steen/Jay Briscoe 2/3 Falls ROH The Homecoming 2 4/25/09

Man these Wolves vs Steen/Anybody matches are the best. Steen is an asshole, the Wolves destroy his leg in retaliation, and Jay does his job well. Closer to the No DQ match in quality then I thought, and this feud isn’t even over yet. Stoked and rewatch.
