Results from ROH Forum members Thomas Bobo and CapRFFC. Check out our preview of the show and predictions for the tag title tournament a few posts down the page. I’ll weigh in with some quick thoughts after each round of the tournament.

Pre-Show
A. Rhett Titus d. Bob Evans.
B. Ernie Osiris d. Mitch Franklin to retain the Top of the Class Trophy
MAIN SHOW
1. Adam Pearce & Chris Hero d. Jigsaw & Ruckus. Hero and Pearce advance when Hero pins Ruckus with the roaring elbow. Said to be a decent, standard tag match. Post match, Jigsaw and Eddie Kingston brawled, with Ruckus breaking it up.
2. Kevin Steen & El Generico d. Nigel McGuinness & Go Shiozaki. Nigel tapped to Steen’s Sharpshooter.
3. Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black of Age of the Fall d. Delirious & Pelle Primeau. Black pinned Pelle following a Small Package Driver.
Post-match, Delirious asked Daizee Haze out again. Rhett Titus came out and broke it up again. Daizee tells him off and leaves. Delirious is pissed!
4. Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson d. Roderick Strong & Davey Richards of No Remorse Corps. Strong tapped to Danielson while in the Triangle Choke. Said to be very good!
5. Kevin Steen & El Generico d. Chris Hero & Adam Pearce of Sweet & Sour Inc. Generico pinned Hero with a roll-up. Steen and Generico were selling considerably.
6. Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black d. Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson via DQ. Jacobs brought a chair into the ring really early on, but Aries used it thus causing the DQ.
INTERMISSION
7. Shane Hagadorn d. Alex “Sugarfoot” Payne.
8. Claudio Castagnoli d. Eddie Edwards. Claudio nailed an lift-off uppercut to get the win and the final few minutes were real good.
9. Erick Stevens d. The Necro Butcher and Brent Albright. Stevens hit a Doctor Bomb on Necro to get the pin and some of the fight went into the crowd.
10. Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black of Age of the Fall d. Kevin Steen & El Generico to win the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Generico is out of the match injured; Steen is fighting on his own…this happened 10-12 minutes into the match. Generico is back 5 minutes later to CONTINUE!!! Generico goes for the Brainbuster, but is instead schoolboyed by Tyler for the 3 count! Crowd litters the ring with trash and even a chair in protest, while Jacobs cuts a promo to end the night.

Steve’s thoughts - Well, no big surprises in the first round, though, as I said on BSWH, I’m a bit surprised that we’ll be seeing Team Work - AOTF two nights in a row. Glad to see more Delirious-Daizee-Titus hijinx.
More correct predictions from BSWH. The DQ makes perfect sense, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the match was short to save their stuff for tomorrow and since Jacobs & Black wrestled twice in three matches and have to go once more. The Steenerico-DIFAOTF final should be great.
Well, our predictions were almost perfect. It should be interesting to see if the Generico injury was a work. If not, I have to question them letting him come back if they were going to lose anyway. And in the end, we’re right back where we were 5 months ago.

Here is a little more detail, as well as what to expect for tonight’s PPV taping, from ROHwrestling.com:
- The Age Of The Fall of Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black captured the ROH World Tag Team Titles last night in Hartford, CT. They will immediately put them on the line. Tonight’s bout pitting Jacobs & Black vs. Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries will now be for the ROH World Tag Team Titles.
(Just as we expected. Very much looking forward to it all the same.)
- Go Shiozaki took exception to Nigel McGuinness’ post match attack on Kevin Steen in Hartford. He stopped McGuinness from continuing the attack last night. This has only added fuel to the fire for tonight’s World Title Match.
(Looks like Steen & Generico both had injury angles. From the sounds of the finish, I’m not high on it, but it does add that fuel to the Canadians’ fire, putting them back on track of their original targets in the beginning of the year and propelling them for that [hopeful] tag title victory.)
- There are no injuries coming out of last night’s show and everyone is 100% for the PPV taping tonight.
(Guess that answers Steve’s question.)
- The unique Osirian Portal will get a try-out match on the preshow tonight.
(I can dig that!)
- Ernie Osiris will put the Top Of The Class Trophy on the line against Rhett Titus tonight.
- Roderick Strong and Erick Stevens both told ROH officials to expect an insane Fight Without Honor tonight as each is looking to brutalize the other to win their final one-on-one match in ROH.
