ROH Tv taping at the Manhattan Center.
It''ll look good on tv. The place seemed to fill up more and more as the show went on.
Dark match: Cornrow beat Warrior. Cornrow looks exactly like Brodus Clay crossed with Umaga and gets catcalls by everyone as such.
Show 1 for April 13:
Nigel McGuiness out with all the babyfaces wearing ROH shirts. Brought out new ROH champion, Jay Briscoe. Jay said desperate times called for desperate measures, which is why he stepped up to the plate despite being a tag team wrestler normally. Adam Cole challenged him for the next show in Toronto.
1) Bobby Fish beat Eddie Edwards. Davey Richards was on color, Kyle O'Reilly in Fish's corner. Good match, went about 15 minutes. Eddie used a double foot stomp off the ropes but Fish rolled up Edwards for the win.
2 RD Evans & QT Marshall beat Mike Pope & Corey Hines. Marshall did all the work and Evans stole the pin and celebrated by himself. Teased dissension but probably for further down the road.
Roderick Strong interview. He was angry that he hadn't received a title shot recently. Strong had a pull apart brawl with Mike Mondo split up by refs.
3 Mark Briscoe beat BJ Whitmer, Caprice Coleman, Cedric Alexander & Mike Mondo for a ROH TV title shot at Border Wars. Jay celebrated with his brother afterwards.
Show 2 for April 20:
Kevin Steen interview. Big babyface reaction, and 'Thank you Steen' chants. Steve Corino came out. Corino claimed Steen hadn't returned his calls or emails. Corino said the mission still stands. Stern said his focus is solely on regaining his title. SCUM came out & hit the ring. Steen said he was fine with all the members except Hardy. Corino said how dare you disrespect my best friend. SCUM beat down Steen and left him laying, including Hardy twist of fate.
1 Roderick Strong beat Mike Bennett. Mike Mondo was on color. No Maria at ringside. Strong won after a swinging neck breaker. Mondo & Strong had another pullapart brawl again afterwards.
2 Tadarius Thomas went to no contest with a local guy whose name I couldn't hear, when SCUM ran in and destroyed both guys.
Corino promo, claimed we wont see Steen ever again. Nigel McGuiness came out and called Corino a p*ssy. McGuiness brought out Elgin & Lethal. Corino went after McGuiness hard, made fun of his documentary, said it was a piece of s***, said he wasn't man enough to do what they do anymore, said McGuiness made up diseases to stay out of the ring. Stips for the next iPPV match, Elgin & Lethal vs 2 of SCUM, if Elgin & Lethal win, SCUM are gone from ROH, but if SCUM win, Matt Hardy gets a ROH title shot and Corino becomes the new regular color announcer on the tv show. They teased a future Corino vs McGuiness match.
3 Matt Taven beat ACH. Mark Briscoe was on color. Very good match. Truth interfered to help Taven.
Show 3 for April 27:
SCUM interview opened the show. Corino issued a challenge for a 3 on 3 match.
1 Jimmy Jacobs & Cliff Compton & Rhett Titus beat Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander & BJ Whitmer. Corino was on color. Titus pinned Whitmer after nailing him with a chain. Lethal & Elgin ran the heels off afterwards. Lethal then challenged Titus to a match.
2 Jay Lethal beat Rhett Titus.
Fans were getting unruly at this point and began throwing streamers at each other, from one side of the ring to the other. The streamers thing got way out of hand, fans launching them at wrestlers throughout the show.
Next came an in-ring contract signing hosted by McGuiness, for Jay Briscoe vs Adam Cole for the ROH title at Border Wars. No shenanigans. Both signed the contract and shook hands. Corino & SCUM came out to interrupt. Corino said Hardy should get the title shot.

Jay Briscoe & Adam Cole bear Matt Hardy & Rhino. Hardy had major heat, throwing his shirt to the fans and it being tossed back, until one guy in the crowd kept it, prompting loud a$$hole chants at the fan. Crowd chanted 'Please Retire', 'We Want Jeff' and 'Feed Matt Less' at Hardy. Cole accidentally super kicked Briscoe, leading to Rhino goring Briscoe. Cole then rolled up Rhino for the win. Hardy took his boot & sock off afterwards selling an injury. A fan in a Cena shirt was getting heel heat from the crowd, so Rhino went into the crowd and hugged him, to major heel heat. This was hilarious. Loud 'F*** John Cena' chants. Corino & Hardy are tremendous together.
