ROH Honor Takes Center Stage: Chapter Two Review

From April 26, 2012.

Match 1: The Kings of Wrestling vs. Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly
Fantastic opening match that didn't overstay it's welcome. The Kings have a thing for making anyone look good and they did just that here.
Winners: The Kings of Wrestling
Rating: ***1/2

Match 2: Dave Taylor vs. Colt Cabana
Pretty good match and nice to see Taylor out there!
Winner: Colt Cabana
Rating: **

Match 3: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Homicide
A good match but nothing special. Ciampa should be coming out of his shell soon!
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa
Rating: *3/4

Match 4: Christopher Daniels vs. Michael Elgin
Definitely the match of the night so far and definitely a shining moment for Elgin's career. Great match, just wish it could have gone on for a bit longer.
Winner: Christopher Daniels
Rating: ***3/4

Match 5: Shimmer Tag Team Championships - Daizee Haze & Tomoka Nakagawa © vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Ayumi Kurihara
Enjoyable while it lasted but I'm just not sure if I agree with having this on the card.
Winners: Daizee Haze & Tomoka Nakagawa
Rating: **

Match 6: The All Night Express vs. The Briscoes
Crowd loved the match and for good reason, they put everything they had in that ring. After, Jay cuts an awesome heel promo where he bashes The All Night Express and the crowd. This man is gold.
Winners: The Briscoes
Rating: ***1/2

Match 7: Roderick Strong vs. El Generico
A great contest and a great way to further this storyline.
Winner: El Generico
Rating: ***1/4

Match 8: The American Wolves vs. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team
The match was fine, great as a matter of fact but definitely didn't live up to the hype that surrounded it. Even still, this was one hell of a weekend closer. Richards vs. Edwards, it's coming.
Winners: Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team
Rating: ***1/2

Overall Show Thoughts and Rating:
Ring of Honor closes out their annual WrestleMania weekend with a much better performance than last year. Not the best show ever and not the best weekend ever but definitely a great one.
Rating: 8/10
