Dayton, Ohio
Report by Kevin McCoy, PWTorch.com reader

(1) Bryan Danielson beat Eddie Edwards. Interesting opener. Danielson wins on a reversal of a small package. Good match, but not a good opener. Very slow paced.

(2) Claudio Castagnoli beat "Skull Crusher" Racsche Brown, Silas Young, and M-Dogg20 Matt Cross in a four-corner survival match. Claudio wins via submission of Silas Young in 6 minutes. Nothing exciting during the match. Young turned heel, it appeared, by slapping Cross after the match.

(3) Jimmy Rave beat Grizzly Redwood. Rave gets huge welcome back cheer. Not much more than a squash. Redwood gets some offense in, but Rave gets the pin in less than 3 minutes. The Embassy accompanied Rave, and attacked Redwood after the match.

(4) Austin Aries & Rhett Titus beat the Phoenix Twins. Aries cuts a very promo before the match. Crowd all over the heels. Aries get the win with a brainbuster suplex. Good heel work by Aries and Titus. Run of the mill tag match.

(5) Colt Cabana beat Chris Hero. Great promo by Cabana to start the match. Great decision Vince. Let this guy go, and keep the Khali kiss cam. Great comedy stuff from Colt in this match, with Hero not wanting anything to do with the style. I think Hero hit a sentaun splash on concrete, but I couldn't really see. Colt wins with a reverse Boston crab at 12 minutes.

[Intermission. Note: Davey Richards is walking all over the arena during the event, in street clothes.]

(6) Jimmy Jacobs beat Egotistico Fantastico. Jacobs was wearing an eye patch. Jacobs wins with a guillotine submission at ten minutes.

(7) Davey Richards finally put ring gear on and beat Tyler Black. Richards wins with a schoolboy. Very entertaining over ten-minute match.

(8) Kevin Steen & Jay Briscoe beat The Dark City Fight Club. Steen wins with a schoolboy after a sneak tag. Nothing special. Steen not as funny as usual. Around ten minutes.

(9) ROH champion Jerry Lynn beat Roderick Strong to retain the ROH World Title. Lynn retains the belt with two piledrivers. Both guys left it all. Strong is due for a trip to the ER for sutures.

A great show as a whole. Look for a September 18 return to Dayton.
