In a world where wrestling in seen by the mainstream as a parade of Boogeymen, vampires, astrology-telling witches, zombies, and 40 year old men pretending to be juvenile delinquents...there was wrestling last night in Edison, NJ...wrestling that didn't embarass you as an adult and as a wrestling fan.

Meet someone who tells you they hate wrestling...then show them a DVD of last night's show...and show them KENTA vs. Davey Richards...or "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe. You'll never have to be embarassed about being a wrestling fan again.

Ring of Honor returned to Edison, NJ last night for "Fight of the Century". The show had to contend with the nicest day of the entire summer and the Jersey Shore season, yet drew a good...if late crowd.

Dark match

Derrick Dempsey submitted Pelle Primeau with the Orange County Stretch.

"Fight Of The Century"

  • Colt Cabana defeated Sal Rinauro via submission in a hilarious opener. As usual, fans covered the ring with toilet paper (mock streamers) for The Embassy's entrance. Cabana did the old Al Perez "Aly-copter", then locked on a reverse Boston Crab to submit Rinauro.

  • Top Of The Class Trophy:
    Shane Hagadorn defeats Bobby Dempsey via submission in a flash submission after a shot with brass knuckles and a crossface submission.

    This match was basically to set up the next segment, as "Lt. Commissioner" Adam Pierce ranted in the mike as heel Hagadorn tried to kiss up to Pierce. Pierce is gold on the microphone. Either Pierce has been underutilized...or he's been working bigtime with Cornette on promos. Adam Pearce called out BJ Whitmer to explain why he didn't save him. Whitmer said he was loyal to ROH, but also loyal to Homicide. Out of nowhere, Steve Corino jumped BJ Whitmer.

  • Nigel McGuinness won the Four Corner Survival over Claudio Castagnoli, Jay Lethal, Christopher Daniels, pinning Claudio Castagnoli after a lariat.

  • Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Championships/Ultimate Endurance
    Austin Aries and Roderick Strong defeated Matt Sydal and Jack Evans, The Briscoe Brothers, and Irish Airborne to retian their Ring of Honor Tag Team Titles
    * The first pinfall, under scramble rules, saw Irish Airborne eliminates Jay and Mark Briscoe. The crowd was NOT happy one bit and was pretty much dead until the next pinfall
    * The second pinfall under submission only rules, Roderick Strong eliminates Irish Airborne (Dave and Jake Crist) when Strong submits Dave Crist
    * The third fall, winner take all rules, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong defeated Matt Sydal and Jack Evans after Austin Aries pinned Matt Sydal with a 450 splash to retain the Ring of Honor Tag Team Titles.

    Irish Airborne was working under the handicap of one of the Crist Brothers working the match with a broken (and still badly swollen) hand.

    Post match, Austin Aries wondered what happened to the stolen tag team championships. Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Matt Sydal, and Jack Evans all shook hands as former Generation Next members

    After the intermission, Adam Pearce and Steve Corino were up in the ring with the usual Steve Corino rant on the crowd...and Corino later turning his venom on Green Lantern Fan's father, since the infamous Green Lantern Fan was still out smoking during intermission.

  • BJ Whitmer and Homicide defeated Steve Corino and Adam Pearce via disqualification after a Briscoe Brothers run-in, attacking Homicide and destroyed his arm (backstory: remember Cornette managed the Briscoes when he first came to ROH.)

  • KENTA defeats Davey Richards in an incredible match that would have been at home at Korakuen Hall .The finish saw Davey Richards escape the busaiku knee kick before finally being pinned after KENTA's Go 2 Sleep. The strikes and spots these two were throwing at each other were unbelivable stiff-looking.

  • Ring of Honor World Championship: Samoa Joe vs Bryan Danielson ended in a Time limit draw in an incredible 60 minute draw. Post-match, they teased giving the fans 5 more minutes, but Danielson refused. KENTA came out to confront Danielson (to link to their September 16 match in Manhattan), but the Briscoes jumped KENTA. Homicide...then Samoa Joe made the save.

    NOTES: Ring of Honor goes to the UK next weekend in Liverpool and Broxbourne, UK, before a St. Paul, MN (August 25th) and
    Chicago Ridge, IL (August 26) midwest swing to close out the summer. On September 16 in New York City, KENTA vs. "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson Samoa Joe and Homicide vs. Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe is scheduled for the Ring of Honor debut at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan. Ring of Honor returns to Edison, New Jersey, on Thanksgiving weekend...Saturday, November 25.
