Ring of Honor on Sinclair December 3rd

Ring of Honor on Sinclair December 3rd

Recap video of Mike Bennet interfering in El Generico vs. Jay Lethal's TV Title match.

Our announcers are Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness

The Main Event is The Young Bucks vs. Future Shock

Promo time for The Embassy's "Dominant Male" Tommaso Ciampa. He is looking a few inches left of the camera. It reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke. Most of the time however, they show videos of him training. Flipping tires, swinging sledgehammers. Ciampa is undefeated.

Shiloh Jonze enters the ring. Here comes The Embassy afterwards. Prince Nana, Princess Mia and Mr. Ernesto Osiris all accompany Ciampa.

Shiloh Jonze vs. Tommaso Ciampa

Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness seem to agree that Jonze has no chance. Ciampa hits several hard elbows in the corner and in doing so also is holding Jonze arm around he rope so he is trapped. Jonze makes a brief comeback but is cut off with a stiff lariat. Jonze does escape the ring and hits a top rope elbow smash on Ciampa followed by a running one in the corner. Ciampa though cuts him off again with a dropkick to the knee and one to the head. Repeated running knee attacks to the corner followed by a powerbomb/backbreaker combo

Winner: Tomasso Ciampa

Everything from the second cutoff by Ciampa to the finish looked great.

Video recap of Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team and The Briscoes fighting in the street. Next week WGTT vs. The All Night Express in a Proving Ground match.

Jim Cornette interviewing ROH World Champion Dave Richards. He towers over him.

In ring segment now with McGuinness, Kevin Kelly, Jim Cornette, Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs in the ring. Kevin Steen comes out with his lawyers. Cornette is offering a settlement. He says Steen is a great wrestler but is worried about him as a face for the company. He is too loose of a cannon. Steen says he is a loose cannon. Cornette passes off the response to Steve Corino. Corino challenges Steen to a match at Final Battle. Jim Cornette adds Jimmy Jacobs as the referee to the match. Jim Cornette will be at ringside. If Steen wins, he is reinstated. I am pretty sure that Jimmy Jacobs is turning on Corino. 

Kevin Kelly throws to break as Steen and Corino try and fight.

Inside ROH: It is announced that at Final Battle 2011, Mike Bennett vs. Jay Lethal vs. El Generico
The last unbeaten man will get the ROH Television Title. Todd Sinclair, by Bennett's request, will not be the referee.

Eddie Edwards is with his trainer, Dan Severn. Dan Severn has a sweet mustache. They show clips of Eddie Edwards training camp. Davey Richards has closed his camp (which I will tentatively refer to as Munchkin Land) but he did give comments. He says he wants to remember Eddie Edwards as a man of honor and is trying to ignore the reports that Eddie is a bad man.

Camp Strong: Roderick Strong is with 3 very attractive young ladies. He implies that he is working out very hard with these women (SEXUALLY). He says if nobody dies in the main event of Final Battle, he will go down to the ring and kick them in the testicles and ask for a refund.

Main Event time

The Young Bucks promo: They talk about not respecting anyone. They say they are too good to have to respect anyone.

Now Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly come to the ring. They make up Future Shock. The Young Bucks follow.

Future Shock vs. The Young Bucks

Future Shock controls the opening of the match but a very organized (read: choreographed) session leads to The Young Bucks taking over. One highlight after what I consider to be some uneventful minutes was a wheelbarrow suplex onto the apron by Adam Cole to Nick Jackson. O'Rielly has Matt Jackson in a guillotine choke and nothing Nick Jackson does breaks it until a Matt is able to lift Kyle up and Nick hits a springboard reverse ddt. Bucks finish with "More Bang for Your Buck" and get the win

Winners: The Young Bucks

The match was kind of a drag in the middle but picked up with the slam to the apron. I did like the neverending guillotine but think that it took something out of the finish. As soon as it got broken, the match peaked and even though it ended just seconds later. It still feels like a down ending.
