ROH News: News and Notes from last night's show in Detroit - wild ending, Michael Jackson tribute, "Epic" tag match Jun 27, 2009 - 2:30:03 PM
-- Last night's Ring of Honor show in Detroit featured a wild ending after Tyler Black defeated Jimmy Jacobs in a steel cage match. Jacobs re-invigorated his "Age of the Fall movement" when 30-40 people dressed in AOTF garb stormed the ring to attack Black. Jacobs then declared the movement has just begun.
Claudio Castagnoli wrote on his Twitter page: "Just witnessed a pretty surreal moment... Pick up the DVD and you'll know what I'm talking about." Joey Ryan, who wrestled earlier on the show, simply wrote: "Crazy ending."
