Ring of Honor makes its return to the Boston Area...

ROH Honor Reclaims Boston

Braintree, Massachusetts 11/3/06

1.) Nigel McGuinness vs. John Walters: ***1/4

Walters, who is a local (and gets a good reaction when he comes out), is making his first ROH Appearance since losing the Pure Title to Jay Lethal in early 2005. This was a very good opening contest. Enjoyed it very much.

2.) Mercedes Martinez vs. Daizee Haze: *3/4

This was a little below average women's match. It was passible, but could have been a little better. After the match, Daizee Haze is attacked by Lacey

3.) Christopher Daniels vs. Chris Hero: **3/4

Here is the first of two matches between the Tag Team Champions and their future challengers. This was a fairly decent contest. Since their partners were at ringside, their match gets going soon thereafter.

4.) Claudio Castagnoli vs. Matt Sydal: ***

A very enjoyable contest. I don't know what it is but Claudio & Sydal have very good in-ring chemistry, whether they were opponents or partners.

5.) Homicide, Samoa Joe & BJ Whitmer vs. The Briscoe Brothers & Steve Corino: ***

This is a grudge match of sorts, with Cornette's Lackeys taking on Homicide and his Crew. Nothing really special or stand out here, but it was a good brawl (what you would expect from these guys) as it leads up to the Fight Without Honor between Homicide & Corino the next night.

6.) Colt Cabana vs. Jimmy Rave: **3/4

Much like the Daniels/Hero match, this was a very decent contest, but nothing really special to mention.

7.) ROH World Title - Bryan Danielson vs. Delirious: ***1/2

Delirious is getting his third shot at Danielson's ROH World Title, with this shot coming after he won Survival of the Fittest the month prior. This was a very good World Title Match. In fact, all of the Delirious/Bryan Danielson World Title Matches have been good. I'm not complaining, solid action here...

8.) Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. KENTA & Davey Richards: ****1/4

Our Main Event sees KENTA & his American Protege taking on the former World Tag Team Champions. KENTA fought Strong & Aries earlier in year in two separate singles matches so he's already familiar with them. This was a very good tag team match. Exactly the kind of action you would expect from these four guys. A great main event.

Overall: 7.50/10

Don't let the rating of this show deceive you. This was a very good wrestling show. You had a great opener, decent undercard, and a great World Title Match/Tag Team Main Event. Everything except the women's match was at least good. A very good show from Ring of Honor.
