![]() I can see what Ring Of Honor was going for here. Sumie Sakai defeated Kelly Klein She does not look like she is having fun. These two went out there looking to steal the show there’s an argument to be made that they succeeded. In my headcanon, they bonded over their love of moonsaulting off things and took it from there. However, this was a big moment for Page and Ibushi treated it that way too. He didn’t need to work his arse off here he could have delivered the greatest hits and gone home. Although those boos quickly turned to gasps when Kota reversed Hangman’s attempt to moonsault off a barrier with a snap German which probably should have killed him.Īlso, much like Ishii, Kota is a wrestler who looks to help his opponents. Even the pro-Bullet Club crowd was booing Page before too long. The way he sold Page’s early dominance before using his speed to create distance and start dishing out kicks was babyface wrestling at its best. Of course, being in there with Kota Ibushi – the Golden Star of my heart – will help anyone out. Now, in his newly deranged state, he looks like a star. He always had something to him, but it never came together, and I found him dull. You know what I wouldn’t have seen coming a year ago? I am now an Adam Page guy. Kota Ibushi defeated Hangman Page Fight! Fight! Fight! Credit: ROH At some point, I might have to accept that the weird ass goth is a damn good wrestler. There’s still a part of me that suspects Punishment Martinez is shit. Ishii travelled halfway around the world to make another wrestler look like a star. Instead, he followed up with another dive, a spinning heel kick from the top and a Super ‘Rana all of which is mental for a man that size. He’s not that tall, so Martinez came close to going over his head and meeting a sticky end. Although he might not have been the best person to take the high flying side of Punishment’s attack. The man is a tank and having Martinez stand and take his offence instantly legitimises him. It helped that you could put my Mother’s corpse up against Ishii and I’d watch it. ![]() Then he throws that massive frame over the turnbuckle to the outside and I get giddy. From his hokey entrance to his weird look, my brain tells me should be shit. I have a real issue with Punishment Martinez. Punishment Martinez defeated Tomohiro Ishii He’s a creepy motherfucker. Let’s see them do this again with a lot more time. Thankfully, it became a fun opener with Chuck getting a win with an inside cradle. They both have unique styles, and it could have gone either way depending on their chemistry. In the ring, these two meshed together well. Greg would play a part a few times as he also stopped Chuck going into the barrier with a big old hug. Early on, Gresham had a terrifying landing off a dive which led to Beretta chiming in with the advice ‘he broke his neck, so get onto that’. Wrestling is for everyone etc.Īnd even if some in attendance didn’t appreciate these two going at it, I did. ![]() Bullet Club fans are great for business, not so much for non-BC related atmosphere. It made me sad to see how little reaction they got. People might not have come for Young vs King, but I would tune into nearly any promotion for this one. I’m sure lots of people were tuning in for Silas Young vs Kenny King…Ĭhuckie T defeated Jonathan Gresham Tut tut tut. Not that all the credit belongs to the BC members. When you throw in Scurll challenging for the ROH Title and The Bucks for the Trios belts, it’s a Club focused show. It’s the latest example of the company being able to take advantage of the outstanding popularity of The Bullet Club as New Japan made the surprising decision to allow them to book Cody vs Omega. Supercard of Honor XII was a big night for Ring Of Honor as they broke their attendance record. ![]()
