Well, as a result of Austin Aries defeating Chris Hero at 'Glory By Honor VI, Night Two', Claudio Castagnoli finally gets a match against the man behind so many of his recent problems ... the antagonist driving Chris Hero, Tank Toland, Sara Del Rey, and even poor fat Bobby Dempsty to their evil deeds ... none other than the mover, the shaker, the billion dollar deal maker - Super Agent and TWENTY TIME CURRENT and REIGNING ICW-ICWA Texarkana Television Champion, 'Sweet n' Sour' Larry Sweeney.
As much as I love how ROH generally books matches and feuds, I'm a little worried that they'll make this something of a throw-away match - after all, I saw the same thing happen with Armando A. Estrada this year during the Umaga/Cena feud. Both Estrada and Sweeney are tremendous talkers that can also wrestle, though Sweeney certainly has more ability in that regard than Estrada.
However, Estrada wasn't even able to throw a single punch without getting pummeled. And nothing bothers me in wrestling quite like seeing a beloved figure get his ass handed to him and made to look like a complete joke. Even if he is, technically, a heel ... it just makes the other guy look like a bully for beating on someone so below his level of ability.
(Though, as marginal as he is, I'd rather see an Estrada match then a Cena match ...)
Well? Will Sweeney get a chance to show his ability? Or will it just be a one-sided beatdown, with a ton of interference from Hero and Company?

I really, really hope that Sweeney gets to actually wrestle, and isn't just made a bump dummy for Claudio, because when those two turn it on, they can have great matches against one another.

Plus, as reluctant as Sweeney is to step into the ring, he SHOULD lead by example. After all, he's an accomplished wrestler, and wily beyond his years.
Of course, Claudio has the strength of ten men, because his heart is pure.
Hmmm.

I'm thinking it will be an interference-laden circus on the level of Cabana/Jacobs from FYF: Chicago, in this case with Sweeney getting advantages due to SnS interference - leading to a satisfying back-and-forth matchup wherein Sweeney can get plenty of offense.

Such as New Star Navigation 2 weeks ago. This could be a pretty fun match. I want to see if Claudio goes back to trying to break his own delayed vertical suplex World Record. I loved it when he did that in 05. |

As for Estrada, people who followed OVW may know he can wrestle, but the majority of the audience didn't, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with how he was booked against Cena. |

Yeah, having a manager rock Cena with a flurry of punches would of confused the hell out of the crowd. |
