Kyle O’Reilly wins the ROH Championship at Final Battle, but you wouldn’t know that if you watched ROH TV this week. It’s almost like the show is stuck in the 80s. Great wrestling isn’t enough guys. It’s time to modernize and get with the program. The internet does exist.
Matches:
Will Ferrara and Cheeseburger w/Joey Diesel vs. The Tempura Boyz: Ferrara and Cheeseburger had some moments, but thanks to a Super Kick and a Package Piledriver, the Boyz got the win. After the match, Prince Nana and Donovan Dijak beat on everyone until Diesel made the save and soon enough a match started.
Jay Diesel vs. Donovan Dijak w/Prince Nana: Diesel didn’t lay down for Dijak, but the Feast Your Eyes put him away.
BJ Whitmer and Punishment Martinez w/Kevin Sullivan vs. War Machine: Hanson and Rowe: A wild one as Martinez put Rowe through a table with a Chokeslam, while Hanson was taken out thanks to Kicks from both Martinez and Whitmer. After the match, Sullivan called out Steve Corino.
The Motor City Machine Guns: Chris Sabin and Alex Shelly and Lio Rush and Jay White vs. Jay and Mark Briscoe, Silas Young and Jay Lethal: Tons of spots and back and forth in what was a wonderful match. White got the win with the Ki Crusher after a slew of offense.
