ROH Supercard of Honor VI Review

Match 1: Homicide vs. Michael Elgin
Decent opening match from the two. Just something you would normally see in a Homicide match. A few fancy moves here and there until Homicide grabs the win.
Winner: Homicide
Rating: **½

Match 2: Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly vs. Bravado Brothers
Full of action with a hot crowd to back things up. They’re definitely not the two best tag teams in the business but they can pull out matches like this whenever they want.
Winners: Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly
Rating: ***

Match 3: Steve Corino vs. Mike Bennett
Very similar to their last encounters which shouldn’t really come as a surprise. Both were good in their roles and Jimmy Jacobs should make for some interesting things down the stretch.
Winner: Mike Bennett
Rating: **¾

Match 4: El Generico vs. Chris Hero
Very entertaining match that was more fun than actual wrestling. Sometimes, these matches are needed and it was a nice change of pace from the night. Short and just enjoyable to watch.
Winner: El Generico
Rating: **¾

Match 5: Davey Richards vs. Charlie Haas
This match would definitely be in the four star range a year ago or so but times have changed and after watching many Davey matches, the formula has gotten a bit dry. Very intense and very fun to watch but again, after watching this formula so many times, one must wonder why no one sells anything most of the time. It takes so much away from the match. Even still, I did enjoy this match and Davey screaming at the top of his lungs is always fun.
Winner: Davey Richards
Rating:***½

Match 6: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Shelton Benjamin
A bit slow but definitely a nice way to slow down the pacing of the show as we anticipate the next two matches. With that said, the match itself was really good as both men really know how to institute psychology into a match and get the crowd going. The feud between both tag teams continue!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Rating: ***¼

Match 7: Chicago Street Fight - The All Night Express vs. The Briscoes
Just a fun and insane fight, you can almost feel the intensity. Definitely on par with last year’s street fight as chains, chairs, tables, and big spots were all used in the process. The feud really picks up here as something more dangerous and something more intense is on the way.
Winners: The Briscoes
Rating: ****

Match 8: ROH World Championship - Eddie Edwards © vs. Roderick Strong
They went for an intense match and that is exactly what they gave us. A very strong follow up to their epic match a couple months back. Edwards is beginning to play the John Cena role, he’s somewhat the new face of the company and the psychology of their matches are very similar. And that’s a good thing. Fantastic main event with a fantastic promo afterwards to cap things off.
Winner: Eddie Edwards
Rating: ****

Overall Show Thoughts and Rating:
A very strong Chicago show as Ring of Honor steps into a new world. The undercard was definitely worthwhile and the two main events delivered in their own rights. I’m not sure if I want to call this the best show of the year but it’s definitely up there.
Rating: 8.75/10
