The Fallen Angel

After the ROH show on Sunday, I went to the merchandise table to get a t-shirt.  Christopher Daniels was there meeting with fans, and he took this photo with me.  I'm glad I had the chance to meet him - super nice dude!

We stopped for cheesesteaks after the ROH show.  See that dopey shadow in the center?  That's me.

Kobashi Comes To Philadelphia

Ring Of Honor
PA National Guard Armory - Philadelphia, PA

Before last night, I had never watched a full Ring Of Honor show, let alone attended one.  However, when I learned that Kenta Kobashi would be wrestling in the main event of an upcoming show in Philadelphia, that was it, I had to be there.  It's the third and final match that Mr. Kobashi is wrestling in his first ever appearances in North America (the first was for World League Wrestling on September 24th, and the second was for Ring Of Honor in New York on Saturday).

The main event was excellent, but the entire show absolutely blew me away.  It captured everything that made the very best of ECW so special - great matches, well-developed characters, and storylines that don't insult the intelligence of the audience.

Here are the results of the show:

• ROH Tag Team Championship Match
  Tony Mamaluke and Sal Rinauro defeated The Ring Crew Express (Dunn and Marcos) to retain the titles
• Four Corners Survival Match
  Jay Lethal defeated Nigel McGuinness, Claudio Castagnoli and Davey Andrews
• Matt Sydal defeated Jimmy Rave
• Ricky Reyes defeated Derek Dempsey
• ROH Authority Figure Announcement
  Percy Pringle III (aka: Paul Bearer) came to the ring to announce that he was new commissioner of Ring of Honor.  He was interrupted by Jim Cornette, who announced that he was the real authority figure in ROH.  He called The Rottweilers to the ring and announced that they, and everyone else, would be banned from ringside during the main event.
• Roderick Strong defeated James Gibson
• BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs defeated Lacey's Angels (Izzy and Deranged)

• "Classic" Colt Cabana defeated Jack Evans
• "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels defeated Jimmy Yang
• Kenta Kobashi and Homicide defeated Samoa Joe and Low Ki
