It’s nice to be watching a show where the winners aren’t just a formality. The last thing I want to see is someone concuss themselves from blunt force trauma.ġ8. Those steps and their proximity to these dives are making me nervous. Defending the trios titles are the Embassy, and since they took the titles from Dalton Castle and the Boys, I’m directly attributing the attack on Wednesday night to their tab. AR Fox trying to get more of that good good with another pair of tag partners. Not familiar with Blake Christian but I’m sure I’ll learn quickly. There’s a familiar face, I haven’t seen Metalik since Enzo Amore was complaining about him in the ring during the cruiserweight rebellion segment. Incredible by both performers, and I feel privileged to know who these two are now.ġ6. I can’t fathom how the commentators managed to call that match. Vikingo gets the win after a ludicrous display this night. I have the old WWF “don’t try this at home” clips from the early aughts playing in my head right now, especially Kurt Angle talking about breaking his tailbone. I AM THE TABLE! The Sonic 630 jump doesn’t break the table, that couldn’t have felt good on either side.ġ4. Okay, Komander hit… I think… a reverse Canadian Destroyer on the ring apron to the outside, and then a full run to the other side of the ropes, a twisting dive, and landed about six inches from the steps up to the stage. The commentators emphasizing that they are not speeding up the cameras in these replays really speaks to the level of skill and precision these two are capable of.ġ2. I just know I’m audibly gasping when he does them. Vikingo is doing moves that I don’t even know how to describe. Say what you want about everything else, the aesthetic upgrade is strangely nostalgic for that very reason.ġ1. I’m sure a lot of fans are feeling this way, but to think this is the same company from whom we downloaded low-grain matches and DVDs with handheld cameras once upon a time when we were desperate for an alternative. In the words of my partner, “Caprice got that drip though.” I have no idea what that means but it sounded like a compliment.ġ0. We don’t talk a lot and/or about many things, but it was incredibly sentimental to be able to share something like that.ĩ. One of the first things I ever sent him about wrestling was Komander running the ropes and doing the shooting star press in the process. One of the first things I ever learned about wrestling was my dad showing me the Undertaker walking the ropes. Wait… Seriously, LA? Did you seriously start chanting “we want tables” AFTER they got the tables out? Captain Hindsight Fans out here.Ĩ. We’ve got tables already, and I’m sure that won’t stop the chant later in the show. This is about to take a step up in Ridiculous, and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible.ħ. A few seconds later, Vikingo dives out of the ring and lands in a dragon sleeper on the floor. They’re smacking each other while locked together and standing on their heads. Considering how quickly it started in the match with Omega recently, it’s good for contrast too.Ħ. This is certainly starting slower than a lot of people imagined, but having them build up to the mutual aerial insanity we’re going to see is probably a really good idea. (About Vikingo) “I don’t know how he does what he does.” Understatement of the JBLdamn millennium!Ĥ. Anyone who has been reading my weeklies knows that I’m new to both of these wrestlers, but of all the new names (to me) that I’ve seen recently, these are the two that stood out the most, so to see them facing each other? Wow.ģ. Komander and El Hiro del Vikingo, holy shit, this is going to be ridiculous. I haven’t seen any of the TV leading up to it, but if the parent company delivers on anything, it’s definitely PPVs.Ģ. The opening match alone was worth the price of admission, but I’m excited to see how the ROH brand feels since the relaunch. It’s Friday night, and I’m covering my first-ever Ring of Honor show. Thoughts on Ring of Honor – SuperCard of Honor 2023ġ.
