ROH "Revolution: Canada"

Michael Elgin vs Rhett Titus vs Tommaso Ciampa vs Adam Cole vs Grizzly Redwood vs Andy Ridge (Double Danger Scramble)

Pretty skippable match though interesting to see Elgin spotlighted. The Russo-ish rules were retarded and meant an unrealisitically high number of falls in a short space of time. Ridge was just embarassing, Ciampa sucks, but Titus continued to look considerably better than he did this time last year. Cole hit a flip piledriver off the top, which wasn't Petey Williams level shitty but still kinda ehhh. There was a fun dive train though, that ended with Elgin flying, and the finish with Elgin lifting Cole and Grizz up together was neat.

Colt Cabana vs Delirious

OK comedy match but really a rehash of their 2007 routine. There was some amusing stuff with both guys trying to throw a t-shirt into the crowd, and the strut off was a nice tribute to Sweeney, but overall nothing to see here.

Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team vs The Briscoes

This was a tale of two sides. One being the best tag team in the world right now, the other being horribly stale and bland. There was a really long, dull feeling out section to start before Mark took over with a low blow. Heel transition! One amusing spot saw Jay tease throwing Haas into the rails, only to roll him in the ring and flip off the fans, which was tremendous. Mark got busted out pretty nastily round his eye, but WGTT didn't really go after it at all. Briscoes brought the classic heel tag structure and controlled the match really effectively, but WGTT are just so dull I personally struggled to get into it all that much. The Briscoes ate all of their comeback offence well and made them look good, but the distraction finish came off flat. This was heel tag wrestling 101 from the Briscoes but all along I was just hoping for WGTT to give me SOMETHING to make me care about them, instead of wrestling like robots repeating routines they have been doing since 2003.

Eddie Edwards vs Chris Hero

This was a really good match, but not great or the epic they were trying to pull off. At 40 minutes it was a long match, and they could have easily gone 30 or even 25 and made the match much tighter. It started with some solid matwork, and as far as perfunctory feeling out sections go this was much better than in the tag match as Hero is a great mat-worker and kept it moving, and it naturally progressed into both guys trading blows. Christ on a cross, the chops both guys threw were insane. Hero's chest gets lit up and is bright red after only a handful from Eddie. This was followed up by a pretty great running boot over the rail, which looked like it blasted Hero straight in the face. Hero took over and went to town on Edwards's arm, and Hero is a guy who always had a 1,001 ways to work over a guy's limb and busted out plenty of creative stuff, as well as mocking and shit-talking Edwards in the process. Edwards sold it all pretty great, and then took a crazy table bump out of nowhere to put him in immediate danger. This was only a small part of the match though, as soon after he hit a big fisherman buster off the apron to the floor, which served to reset the match. The big finishing run was a mixed bag, both guys threw some more ridiculous stiff shots, there were a couple neat spots and Hero took a freaking reverse rana, but overall it still felt as if they were trying just to hard to pull off an "epic", with a million 2.9 nearfalls, and some lame interference shit with Claudio and Davey, which only served to put Davey in the spotlight and overshadow the match. In the end I came away thinking this was a really well laid out match with plenty of good actual content, but was just a little too forced to be a truly great match. Edwards is good, but just not the guy who is going to deliver a classic. If a match is really great, the work will speak for itself, and won't need an erraneous length of time or have a hundred nearfalls in sucession to try and force it, if both guys had done without that, this may have been the MOTYC they were going for.
