ROH Tradition Continues
Glen Burnie, MD - 16/10/03


Prince Nana vs. Samoa Joe (NR) - Impromptu match that didn't even go 1 minute. Squash to get the crowd going (and it worked)

Dunn & Marcos vs. Josh Daniels & Danny Doring vs. Slyk Wagner Brown & Sonjay Dutt vs. Slugger & Grim Reefer [Scramble match] (**3/4) - Crowd was really into Dutt here. Fun match with a hot crowd

Matt Stryker vs. Chris Sabin (***1/4) - Field of Honor match. Great pace with Stryker winning again. Strong seesaw match

Colt Cabana vs. BJ Whitmer (**1/4) - Another Field of Honor match. Colt is really getting over as a comedy wrestler but in reality he can work too. Decent match but still a bit of letdown. It never really got going

Backseat Boyz vs. Izzy & Dixie (**1/2) - All action in this one. A bit of technical wrestling would have been nice though. Izzy and Dixie got the pin and the tag straps from the Boyz. Well that was a short reign

CM Punk vs. AJ Styles (***3/4) - Delicious back and forth action! AJ managed to turn Punk's Shining Wizard into a Styles Clash. Awesome match

Jimmy Rave vs. Dan Maff (*3/4) - Field of Honor match. Not much in this one. Not a bad match or anything - just too short

Justin Credible vs. Raven (**1/4) - Back and forth match, very basic. Good for what it was. Raven has not had his best matches in ROH though

John Walters vs. Mark Briscoe vs. Xavier vs. Homicide (***3/4) - ROH has been putting on some great 4 way survival matches and this was no different. Super heated match with some stellar action and hot near falls. Got an "ROH" chant afterwards. Homicide rules by the way

Jay Briscoe vs. Samoa Joe (***1/4) - Joe seems to have found one certain match formula that he uses every time. It's entertaining but I doubt it'll keep up unless he works in some new stuff. It grew into a really exciting match with Jay getting some good near falls on the champion. The finish was something right out of Japan as Jay kicked out of big move only to have Joe pin him after a lariat

Overall an extremely entertaining show. No useless shit or bad matches. Highly recommended!
