Roderick Strong vs. Sonjay Dutt ROH Manhattan Mayhem III 06/13/09

I liked it when Strong was killing Dutt. I like Dutt when he sticks to high flying, but anything else, he tends to be awful. No.

Tyler Black vs Jerry Lynn ROH Contention 6/12/09

The only things of note was the crowd loving the snapmare and Black’s murderous Bucklebomb/Superkick combo to put him out. Too bad it was non title. No.

Jay Briscoe vs. Davey Richards ROH Contention 6/12/09

This happened. It was ok, but I just didn’t give a single damn about this. No.

Young Bucks vs Kevin Steen/El Generico ROH Contention 6/12/09

Fine as a house show effort. Young Bucks are faces at this point and they aren’t quite at the point of being the best until they turn heel and finally figure it out in 2011. They can be carried at this point to good matches, but this match was a no doubter at this point and will be easily forgotten by me. No.

Jerry Lynn vs Austin Aries vs Tyler Black vs Bryan Danielson (ROH on HDNet 12) 6/6/09

Good match, although of the indyish variety. Not really a story there, but lots of spots that fit together in about as logical of a way as they could be. Some eye rolling spots, but it was closer to very good then I thought it would be. No.

Kevin Steen/El Generico vs American Wolves Tables Are Legal Match (ROH on HDNet 11) 5/30/09

Can’t find the Black/Danieson 5/9/09 match anywhere. Probably would have been the least of there matchups, but its on hold right now. I’m on the fence on this one. The beginning didn’t really seem to have the heat of the other matches, although it did stabilize. The match eventually became what you expect from these two, but with table spots. Steen’s leg selling wasn’t as great as his other matches against the Wolves, but still good. The issue I have is that they have had some awesome matches this year and I kind of have to put that in mind when it comes to keeping matches. I think this is just below that line and will have to give it slight no.

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.
