Well I was bored so I decided to pop in a RoH DVD to pass the time and than I decided to make a rant afterwards. Show is called Main Event Spectacles from 11/1/03.
Shows opens up to Colt Cabana warming up for his match against Dan Maff. CM Punk approaches him and tells him the match isn't about him. Its about CM Punk and Christopher Daniels, The Second City Saints vs The Prophecy.
Match 1: Field Of Honor
Colt Cabana (2-0) vs Dan Maff (1-1)
Well Field Of Honor is basically a tourament to determine who is going to to get pushed. Cabana is hilarious as always, tricking Maff for a handshake, getting in a complete dance with Maff and Allison Danger. Pretty good opener with both men getting thrown into the railing several times. Maff wins it with a Burning Hammer. ***1/4
Samoa Joe attacks Maff with Jim Cornette and beats the crap out of Maff. Daniels makes a run in but to no avail. Cornette talks abouts how he is going to unleash a new force upon RoH. Briscoes hit the ring in their badass way and Cornette turns on Joe and attacks him with Briscoes.
Match 2: Xavier & Nigel McGuiness vs The Purist ( John Walters % Tony Mamaluke)
Can't really say much about this match. It was alright but I felt as if it could have been better because Nigel fucking McGuiness and Xavier.
**
Special K is shown backstage, Izzy and Dixie seemed worried about their match with Briscoes later. So what do they do? The thing they do best. Party somemore backstage. God I love them.
Match 3: Matt Stryker vs Justin Credible
I like Stryker but can't really say the same for Credible. Stryker trys to keep it techinal but Credible gets a brawl outside. Stryker hits a DVD on Credible but he kicks out.( In their last match he beat Credible with one.) Credible hits a Thats Incredible ( Spike Piledriver) but Stryker kicks and locks in a Stryker Lock for the win. Good match was surpised Credible did pretty good.
**1/2
Match 4: Tag Team Championship
Special K ( Izzy & Dixie) vs Briscoe Brothers
For those of you who don't know the Briscoe kick major ass just like Special K does. Briscoe let loose everything they have to win their first titles. Jay gets the win for them with a Jay Driller and finally the titles. Must say I marked out like hell for that even though I was sad at Special K short lived reign it was worse than mine.
***3/4
Match 5: Homocide vs BJ Whitmer
This match is a Fighting Spirit match where there is a 20 countout. Usually there is no count outs in RoH so this is rare. Well these are two stiff sons a bitches and thats exactly what we see in this match. Everything goes well until Homocide hits a Cop Killah and Whitmer fucking kicks out. It was built up as such a powerful move but than again it would have been fine if it wasn't this low on the card. Well Homocide kills Whitmer when he takes off his elbow bad and gives him a stiff lariat. Good match
***3/4
Match 6: Scramble Cage
Backseat Boyz vs The SAT vs Teddy "Douchebag" Hart and Jack Evans vs Carnage Crew vs Angeldust and Hydro
This is the main reason I got the DVD in the first place. To explain a Scramble Cage is just a regular cage with platforms at the top on each corner. It starts off with two teams and than another team comes every two minutes. Match cannot end until every team is in the ring. That being said let me state that this is not a wrestling match but an all out spotfest. Way to many to name but I will just name some of the memorable. SAT give a Washing Machine to Kashmere which causes me to mark out because of my hate for him. SAT give Hydro a Spanish Fly off the fucking cage. Evans hit a double moonsault of the top of cage onto the god damn outside. Sweet Jesus. Hijinx of Special K while not being in the match was bleeding like hell here. Backseat Boyz get win with a T-Gimmick. On a side not I don't mention Teddy Hart because he is a moron that doesn't deserve to wrestle and I don't feel like ranting about his actions right now.
****1/2 as a spotfest it kicks major ass and each and everyone should see this match.
Match 7: Four Corners Match
Samoa Joe vs Steve Corino vs CM Punk vs Christopher Daniels
During Punk's entrance he goes face to face with a crazed fan yelling, "DIE MOTHER FUCKER! DIE!." We have Steve Corino's announcer list the god damn lineage of some belt from the South for about 5-10 minutes. No one really gives a shit about that as the fans make clear. Finally match starts with Corino and Punk working as a team. Some good spots include Joe giving Ole Kicks to Daniels and Corino on the outside but not before gives a diving Punk a spinebuster on the railing. Match ends when Punk and Corino get a double pin on Daniels with a Northern Lights. It was good but could have been alot better. Also something magical happened in this match, Steve Corino didn't blade. My jaw dropped at this.

Match 8: #1 Contenders Trophy
AJ Styles vs American Dragon
This match kicks some major ass with AmDrag playing a good cocky heel with his comments(" WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WRESTLING!") Match started off slow and techinal but AmDrag started working harder and harder on Styles arm to soften him up for Cattle Mutilation. Styles instead went for the knee of AmDrag. Styles got the win after two Style Clashes. I thought the lack of commentary sucked but still match made up for it. A very very good match to end the show with. Though their match at All Star Extravaganza was slighter better.
****3/4
Final Thoughts: This is one of the great RoH cards. I know most of you haven't seen it so go on and buy it or at least download it. Now go and do it. NOW!
