Match 1: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Kyle O’Reilly
Awesome opening match! Both men really know how to get a crowd going, especially Claudio as he picked up the win. He is just a star out there.
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli
Rating: ***
Match 2: Mike Bennett vs. Steve Corino
Went a little longer than it really had to but still enjoyable and entertaining. Bennett is slowly becoming a player in ROH and wins like this will really help elevate him.
Winner: Mike Bennett
Rating: **½
Match 3: Double Danger Scramble - Rhett Titus vs. Adam Cole vs. Michael Elgin vs. Tommaso Ciampa vs. Grizzly Redwood vs. Andy Ridge
Hectic, fun, and more fun. Toss a bunch of guys in a match and let them go loose and this is the end result. Elgin is a beast, no other way to put it.
Winner: Michael Elgin
Rating: ***¾
Match 4: Davey Richards vs. Kenny King
For all the hate this match may get, it was still very good. Kenny looked motivated and Davey’s botch at the end didn’t take anything away. I just wish the crowd would have gotten into the action more. Good match that dragged on at times but still enjoyable.
Winner: Davey Richards
Rating: ***½
Match 5: Delirious vs. Colt Cabana
Ain’t no doubt about it... That was too much fun, a beautiful and fitting tribute to Mr. Sweet & Sour. RIP Larry Sweeney. 12 large!
Winner: Colt Cabana
Rating: n/a
Match 6: Christopher Daniels vs. El Generico
Really enjoyable match! Great chemistry between the two and the crowd was hot throughout. Sets up for some fun stuff down the line with Corino getting in the mix of things. This show is really getting good.
Winner: El Generico
Rating: ***¾
Match 7: ROH World Tag Team Championships - Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team © vs. The Briscoes
Good for what it was worth. It was the match you would come to expect from these guys. WGTT get the win after All Night Express interfere.
Winners: Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team
Rating: ***
Match 8: ROH World Championship - Eddie Edwards © vs. Chris Hero
From the build to the match itself, this match had epic written all over it. An amazing match that further stamps these two as the company’s biggest stars. Edwards wins via knock out on The Young Knock Out Kid. Tremendous action and psychology from start to finish.
Winner: Eddie Edwards
Rating: ****½
Overall Show Thoughts and Rating:
Not the best show ever, but definitely a fun one. Main event managed to define not only the show, but the weekend as a whole. Phenomenal effort from both men to close out the weekend on a strong note.

ROH Revolution: USA Review
Match 1: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Homicide
This match was another decent exchange to get the crowd going for the show and basically the same thing as their last match with the only difference here being Prince Nana helping out Ciampa in his cause to win. Nothing special but Ciampa gets a good win as Homicide wraps up his weekend.
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa
Rating: **
Match 2: Michael Elgin vs. Andy Ridge
Elgin gets the win in about five minutes after driving Ridge hard on the mat. Elgin has a great future and I can’t wait to see where he will be in a year from now. This match, however, was just stupid.
Winner: Michael Elgin
Rating: ½*
Match 3: Mike Bennett vs. Grizzly Redwood
This suffers the same problem from the last. Why does it take Bennett, a man who we are trying to elevate into a better position, about five or so minutes to beat this guy? The interest level in the first three matches of the night have never been this low for me. I’m just hoping the next match changes this.
Winner: Mike Bennett
Rating: ½*
Match 4: First Blood - The Briscoes vs. The All Night Express
Great stuff and a great way to finally crack open this show a bit. The ending was just downright clever and the crowd enjoyed everything about this one. This feud is definitely going to be huge.
Winners: The All Night Express
Rating: ***¼
Match 5: Christopher Daniels vs. Colt Cabana
Daniels gets the win with help from Truth Martini who nailed Cabana with the book. Decent affair with Daniels doing a great job as his new role as a heel.
Winner: Christopher Daniels
Rating: **¾
Match 6: Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team vs. Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly
Just your typical WGTT match, same stuff with the same moves and reversals. Good match but this thing is getting old pretty fast and the crowd was super dead. They pick up the win and raise their opponents’ arms. Time to move on.
Winners: Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team
Rating: **½
Match 7: No Disqualification - El Generico vs. Roderick Strong
Great brawl involving a hot crowd, lots of reasonable interference, and great action from these two which includes a sick finish. Good way to get the crowd ready for the epic main event.
Winner: Roderick Strong
Rating: ***½
Match 8: The Kings of Wrestling vs. The American Wolves
Better than the last time? Tough to call but damn, this was good. Great storytelling and fantastic in ring action. Amazing match with an amazing ending. The exchange between The Wolves afterwards just adds layers upon layers of drama. Tomorrow’s main event is going to be good.
Winners: The Kings of Wrestling
Rating: ****¼

Blog - 9/10/10
This might just be the greatest two weeks of my life. Senior year is everything I expected and much more.
So where do I start? I absolutely LOVE all of my classes as I have many great friends in them and many great teachers. I love waking up early to lift some weights and I love going to bed earlier than normal. Everything just feels so right.
Last night was my first stag dance of my life and what a roller coaster ride it was. Things started off with my friend driving me and another friend down to Albertson's to get my girl some flowers. We blasted Alice in Chains on the way down there while rolling down the windows as I sang the song to random people who gave me odd looks. Instead of getting her flowers (or sticks), I bought some baby food and some sort of toy animal that said "I love my mommy." because earlier in the week, I bought her a balloon that said "It's a boy!" On the way back, we blasted "Jizz in My Pants" while some girls looked at us in the parking lot. The dance started off really bad. I don't know how to dance but what hurt more was seeing my girl with someone else. I then saw her sitting by herself and she explained to me how she didn't like being around him and all sorts of stuff so I just went out and asked her out to Homecoming and she hugged me and said yes. I hung out with her for the rest of the night and it just made everything perfect.
Tonight is Glory by Honor IX on iPPV and it will be the first PPV I have ever ordered from ROH. I'm so stoked about it and I'm so glad I won't have to think about getting a Homecoming date while watching it. I can just sit back and enjoy the show. :)
I'll be posting some new videos on the raymondisgood YouTube channel soon and maybe even a new video on the rayalmighty1 channel. Stay tuned!

I'm back once again with my second blog of the month with a few updates to give you guys!
I just finished my senior registration and I'm ready to begin my senior year soon! Registration was great because I got to see some people who I haven't seen all summer and talking to them really made my day. Words cannot describe what's going through my head as I set to begin my senior year. Will 0 period be a pain? Will I go to Homecoming? Will I go to Prom? Will I go to all of the dances? With who? How will graduation be like? It's making me nervous but I say bring it on.
I'm also so glad to be done with summer school. Staying in the same classroom for 5+ hours gets really irritating for me. I did indeed meet some great people during my time there but I'm just so glad I'm done with it.
Oh, and last Thursday I raised hell at my usual hang out spot down at a mall where I also got to see The Other Guys movie. My friends really seemed to enjoy it and I got a kick out of it as well. If you're interested in seeing the shit that went down that day, click here!
The next time I'll probably be blogging is when my senior year of high school officially begins. Hang tight. I know I am. I'm stoked.

Has it really been more than one month since I last blogged? Well... I'm finally back!
I know I said I was going to start making new Runescape videos but I honestly have not found the interest to do so. Don't worry, I eventually will make new videos but at the moment, don't expect anything new concerning Runescape.
However, I will definitely be posting more non Runescape oriented videos and you can find them on my raymondisgood YouTube channel.
Summer vacation has about a month left and my summer school ends this Thursday! It's gonna be a great day as I plan on watching TNA's special show called "The Whole F*N Show" as well as hitting up the movie theaters later that night. Pro wrestling has been very enjoyable as of late as both ROH and TNA have both been hitting their strides.
I'm gonna be posting more videos on my alternate channel so please subscribe there where you can see new videos! Thanks!

Just one day before the 4th of July, I'm back here with another new blog. A lot has happened since the last time I blogged so here we go!
Let's start off with the things going on in my school life. My junior year ended last month and I'm officially now a senior. And unfortunately, I have summer school but I can't complain since I signed up for it. And to be honest, the class ain't even that bad. I just can't wait for my REAL senior year starts. :)
Everyone knows how excited I was to watch Toy Story 3 and I got to see it on it's first day of release. It was most definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen and I highly suggest you watch this one because every second of it was awesome! Can't wait for the DVD release now!
I just got TNA Lockdown 2010 on DVD and that reminds me, wrestling right now is on fire! ROH and TNA are just tearing it up and Victory Road looks to be a phenomenal show! Very excited to both watch Lockdown and Victory Road! Oh, and the upcoming ROH shows are looking sick!
Lastly, I renewed my Runescape membership a couple days ago so you can be sure that I'll be posting a new video this month! I'm not sure what kind of video it will be but it certainly will be out! Hopefully, I'll get the opportunity to blog once again next week since I'll be watching another movie and I'll probably have a bunch of news. Peace out!

Well, guys, my junior year is finally coming to a close and I'm about to become a senior! I have finals this week but whatever, school has been pretty damn good. Last Friday was such a chill day for me because I loved both 1st and 2nd period as I got to talk to some great people and not do anything much but just chill around. 3rd and 4th period were pretty chill as well but lunch was awesome since I had to go to my Engineering class and have a sumo car battle in which our mechanical cars that we made in class fought each other... good fun. 5th period was really awesome since I got to work on my powerpoint and finally we went to watch the boat racing competitions. Me and my friends watched a little bit and finally decided to leave and just chill around campus. My final period was English class where I got to read my Shawn Michaels story aloud and in front of the class. I'll definitely be posting it on Associated Content sometime this month. It's an awesome read.
Last night, I uploaded a new video called the June 2010 Challenge in which you must post a video response of you completing a Tears of Guthix minigame and the person who scores the highest score will earn a spot in one of my upcoming videos. However, if the highest score trumps my score of 177, you will also get free Runescape membership for 30 days! Good luck to all!
Toy Story 3 is coming out on Friday and I already got my free movie ticket to go and check it out! I've been waiting so many damn years to check this thing out and I'm very excited for it! I've been watching Toy Story 1 and 2 this weekend to get myself in the Toy Story mood.
The day after Toy Story 3 is ROH Death Before Dishonor VIII! Words cannot describe how stoked I am for this event. For those who don't know, I'm a huge pro wrestling fan and ROH is a small wrestling company that has more wrestling and value than WWE and TNA combined. The event is absolutely stacked and Tyler Black vs. Davey Richards will fucking tear the damn house down! Event of the year so far and it hasn't even happened yet! ROH! ROH! ROH!
Lastly, I've been watching a lot of Gordon Ramsay's television shows and that includes his recent show called The Great Escape. An awesome show and you guys should definitely check this one out.
Well, my junior year is drawing near to it's close and I'll be blogging once again in the upcoming weeks or so when I'm in summer school. Peace out. Oh... and GO CELTICS!
