  • Thanks to @Sajizzle for last night's ROH report from Baltimore. Check it out here: http://t.co/dDFnaSsD #
  • #teamfunkasaurus #
  • Brian from BSWH here. On Saturday I head to and will hopefully tweet results from the final 2 events at the ECW Arena: CZW & #EVOLVE10 #
  • Brian here, starting my full day of live wrestling by waiting in line for CZW's An Excellent Adventure. Arena's last stand. #
  • Jake Manning of Highspots on where he finds the 5 Dollar Wrestling guys: "They find me." #
  • Fans angry that Larry Legend isn't the ring announcer as usual. #
  • Roger, the former manager of the Arena, thanking everyone involved. #
  • Greg Excellent in charge of the show. He has DJ Hyde come out dressed as a genie. #
  • Greg hires back Drew Blood as a ref and brings back Whacks to wrestle Hyde now. Whacks is out of shape & pretty awful. Drew helps Whacks win #
  • Derek Frazier invites Rockin' Rebel to be a ref. This is entertainingly bad. Frazier vs Ryan McBride now. #
  • Rebel hit by Frazier and his knee brace by accident. McBride wins with a DVD. Rebel with a leg drop to Derek postmatch. #
  • AR Fox def Uhaa Nation in a mighty good match with Lo Mein Pain. 1st thing I've liked so far. #
  • Azrieal & Bandido Jr. defending the tag titles against Ruckus & Alex Colon. #
  • Match ends in a No Contest when the Runaways run in, but they get beat up anyway. #
  • Sami retains the jr hvywt title over Rich Swann with the stretch muffler. 2nd thing I liked so far. #
  • Greg Excellent def Mia Yim with a tiger driver. Big ovation for Mia's toughness. Intermission now, my phone might not make it to EVOLVE. #
  • Taped promo by Shane Douglas. Announces an Extreme Reunion show 4.28 at the Armory. #
  • Danny Havoc holds a toast with Homicide, Blue Meanie, Nate Webb and others. Drew Gulak and his crew interrupt. #
  • The peanut gallery near me is awful. Gulak gets a tapout win over Bulldozer Matt Tremont. Gulak is a great heel I think. #
  • Eddie Kingston def Joker with a backfist in a street fight. I liked it. #
  • Devon Moore def Adam Cole with a superkick to retain the world title. My phone and I are getting fed up and tired. #
  • Death match main event: Hyde pins Zandig with a cradle after lots of glass breaking and blood letting. Show had SOME good moments. #
  • Having something to eat indoors. My tweets for EVOLVE 10 will be sparse. Order the ippv. http://t.co/U02JxvfR. #
  • EVOLVE begins with LOW KI! #
  • Ki made short work of Ahtu, said he's here to be a catalyst for change and will stick around. #
  • Cheech def former partner Cloudy with Go To Cheech. #
  • The Scene def Alex Reynolds and John Silver. Sometimes clunky, sometimes fine. AR Fox vs Jigsaw now. #
  • Jigsaw wins with a crazy suplex to counter Lo Mein Pain and a superkick. Sami out to instigate a fight with Fox. DGUSA feud carried over. #
  • Uhaa def Pinkie with a standing moonsault and SSP. Fellow Blood Warrior Ricochet with him to run down the arena. #
  • Chuck & Swann def the Super Smash Bros via Awful Waffle on Dos. Fun and crazy. #
  • Intermission about over. #
  • Jon Davis def Kyle Matthews with 3 Seconds Around the World in front of a dead crowd, puts out a challenge to Finlay afterward. #
  • Fox out to corner Bobby Fish against Sami Callihan. #
  • Fish makes Sami tap after Fox distracted him. More testing of the rules between the two. #
  • Gargano vs. Ricochet for the Freedom Gate Title now. #

  • Good morning everyone. ICYMI, half of BSWH Final Battle review posted yesterday. Second half and the (massively) big UNR finale coming soon. #
  • So Jericho is obviously a heel, right? #
  • .@RingOfHonor repeatedly retweeting Kevin Steen criticizing ROH is really stupid and non-sensical. Was that also a stip of his FB11 match? #
  • @BrianStreleckis Hmm…I'd say defensible with "Don't worry, we haven't!" as the intent. And he's not bitterly feuding with the company. #
  • It's cool (and all too rare) when WWE actually gives a mid-card heel a clean win over a non-jobber babyface. #

  • Really good @IMPACTWRESTLING main event between @gailkimITSME and @MickieJames. Nice to see the Knockouts back in the spotlight. #
  • With Lesnar retiring, I'm really gonna miss UFC shows being watched and discussed by wrestling fans who know nothing about MMA. #
  • "Man of the People" @TedDiBiase really should get rid of that "I come from money, I come from class" entrance music. #

  • Most telegraphed spot in wrestling? Big guy throwing a guy off from a pin attempt is up there. #
  • So yeah, CM Punk and Bryan Danielson are simultaneously the world champions in WWE. That happened. #
  • "Will Cena come out at the end to talk about Kim Jong il's death?" – @realrickfinch #
  • Four out of seven WWE champions are from @ringofhonor or @SHIMMERwomen. Pretty, pretty good. http://t.co/Frixrh5Z #
  • Don't hate the player, hate the game. RT @ringofhonor As if ROH fans needed another reason to hate Mike Bennett http://t.co/brXyzQ2r #
  • @CMPunk The @ringofhonor crowd believes in you, too. They were chanting your name a few minutes ago. #finalbattle #
  • @Sajizzle Thanks! #
  • I'm editorializing more than usual in my #finalbattle live report. Do join me. http://t.co/zIDD8Sja #
  • The rumors are true! Chris Hero in the house. #finalbattle #
  • #demboys #
  • Matches have been good, but it seems like they're intentionally not taking a chance at stealing the main event's thunder. #finalbattle #
  • .@ringofhonor I enjoyed #finalbattle but the work of the camera and production crews was simply unacceptable, even by your low standards. #
  • I'm exhausted. The final product: http://t.co/zIDD8Sja #
  • Should I have already known that Big Show was in JIngle All the Way? #

The show actually started on time, but with a slight hitch as the “This is Ring of Honor” video came up just as Kevin Kelly was introducing the show. The show started with Jim Cornette doing an intro in the ring and touting the business success of the show. The Sinclair executive in attendance spoke briefly and even mentioned that today is Festivus!

1) Michael Elgin defeated TJ Perkins. (more…)
