Ring Of Honour TV 9/11/13 Review (by Connie Williams)

Another wee article fae my mainest man Connie. I don't watch ROH mysell, but this gied me a wee semi fur it, so I'll need tae start. Enjoy.


First hings first if yi dinny watch ROH then you ain't no friend of mine. Nah am joking, yer ma pal, just no best pal, so there. Anyways, ROH is brought to you fae Chicago Ridge, Illinois and the announcers were Kevin Kelly and the returning and former SCUM frontman Steve Corino.

Jesse Sorensen V Tommasa Ciampa

This was wee Jesse Sorensens ROH debut, he gets a decent wee pop as he made his way tae the ring, the crowd go daft for Ciampa, who wis making his return efter been oot for a month. Code of Honour afore the match begins. Sorenson and Ciampa lock up, Sorensen gets a waist lock in but Ciampa stays on his feet cause simply put he is a tough bastart. Ciampa puts Sorensen in a side heed loack and shooder tackles him on his erse but Sorensen gets right back, no bad son. They lock up again but Ciampa gets aner side heed loack on the go. He shooder tackles Sorensen, Sorensen is attempting tae get back up but Ciampa shooders him right back doon to the mat again. Ciampa then attempts the Kryptonite Crunch wee Sorensen wasny having any ae that though and counters it wi a braw sunset flip for a near fall. The boays loack up, Ciampa backs wee Sorensen inty the corner and chops him but Sorensen chops him right back. Ciampa connects wi a cravate then slaps Sorensens coopin. Ciampa avoids a punch fae Sorensen. Sorensen connects wi a drapkick and punches Ciampa abit. Sorensen then connected wae a lovely leaping leg lariat and a drop kick. Wee Sorenson slaps Ciampa and follows that up wae an Irish Whip. Sorensens then sent tae the apron, Ciampa then knocked Sorensen aff the apron to the flare wae a knee. Ciampa goes straight efter the boay and connects wae a foreairm to Sorensens wee back, and then starts exposing the flare, cause he's a raj. Ciampa went tae suplex Sorensen oan the exposed flare but he manages to land on his feet and gets himself back in the ring then connects wi a braw Pescado. After a wee break we see Ciampa connect wae a clothesline tae Sorensen, nearly a 3 count, but no quite eh. Ciampa connects wi a foreairm and sends Sorensen oan his erse. Sorensen connects wae an uppercut but Ciampa kicks him in the airm, Sorensen connects wi a neck breaker and then with a few swinging neck breakers for a near fall. Some match so far, no bad atall. Sorensen is looking better than ever. Sorensen gets Ciampa up on his shooders but Ciampa hits him wae some elbys and manages tae get back doon tae the mat. Ciampa goes for a full nelson but Sorensen drapped doon and got a near fall wi a cheeky roll up. Sorensen then connects wi a lovely wee enzuigiri. Ciampa connects wi a Burning Hammer for yet aner near fall. Ciampa wi a foreairm tae Sorensen in the corner and follows this wae an Irish Whip. Sorensen hits Ciampa wi an elby. Ciampas no having any ae that though, he pulls doon his knee pads and connects wi two running knees to Sorensens heed. Sare. Ciampa then gets wee Sorensen up on his shooders and goes er tae the turnbuckles for a super Kryptonite Crunch, which would have been quite braw but Sorensen stops this fae happening and connects wi a sunset flip power bomb instead, which was a worthy replacement. Ciampa geez Sorensen a wee kick and goes for the Project Ciampa but Sorensen smartly escapes. Ciampa then applied the Sillician Stretch and Sorensen had nae choice but tae tap. Giving Ciampa the win.

Sorensen looked awfy gid in his ROH debut, folk were aw saying that Sorensen didny belong in ROH, that he wouldny be a good fit, his catch wrastlin wi Ciampa and early mat grappling surely proved these people wrang. He fair impressed me, the wee scone that he is. He took some hard faws anaw showing us his necks awright, it's no gonnae haud him back fae hee haw. Ciampa looked gid tae. This was an overall solid stert tae the show.

 

We take a look at what yon Outlaw ink have done since their return to the company. That sets us up for the next match.

Kingston and ACH stert hings aff, Kingston gets ACH wi a waist lock take doon. ACH got tae his feet then Kingston goes for a cravate.

This was a solid tag match. You'll enjoy it, gee it a swatch. Trust me. Eddie got on the mic efter the match calling reDRagon a bunch of pussies. And that's that.

 

Next we see a vidja package highlighting aw ra chaos surrounding the ROH world championship & the bold Jay Briscoes struggle to get back in the ring. This is aw building to nexts week show, as Adam Cole and Michael Elgin will step inty the ring and Briscoes promised he'll be there and will kick Coles 'pretty little ass'. We'll see. The world championship picture is quite braw in ROH the noo, deny this and yer obviously a mentalist. The three guys involved each deserve tae be champ. Aw different personas gawn oan and three different reasons as to why they deserve to be champ. It's braw storytelling, the brawest.

 

You wilny believe how excited I am tae be writing about the next match, because it was truly spectacular. See me, I'm the biggest Paul London mark oot, I absolutely adore the guys in ring abilties. If you are baffled as to why I am such a huge fan of London, then this is a match you should definitely watch. I command you to. It'll change yer mind about the guy. If you regret it, i'll make yi some hame made soup, a big sunday dinner and a wee cheesecake for efterwards, a full three course meal for letting yi doon, but I am so fucking certain that if you gave the match a chance you to, would be a huge fan of London, am telling yi. So here we go.

London rolls Strong back inty the ring and connects wi a double stomp tae the back, the right way, no a botchy way like some people. London then makes his way up tap and connects wi that truly glorious shooting star press of his and that gets him the 1,2,3

I've got a new match of the year every week, I just get excited and cry anyhin the best, but in all seriousness this was match of the year, easily. In terms of wrastlin and storytelling this was the very best. There is absolutely nothing that could possibly come close to beating it. Anytime London is signed to appear at ROH he just brings so much tae the company, he goes in that ring and he creates art, cause that's what it is, that's what he does, his wrestling paints lovely pictures. It's everything i'm inty and more. If you watch this match and don't instantly become a fellow London mark then yer a dafty. The storytelling was just truly amazing in this. I honestly shouldny be even writing this cause truth be telt I don't have the words tae describe how truly wonderful it was to watch this match. It was an absolute pleasure tae watch. I'd have done anything to be there in person. All I'm gonnae say is please give this match a wee watch, my words simply areny enough.
