Ring of Honor “Time to Man Up”
August 4th, 2006
From the Sports Plus Entertainment Center in Long Island, New York
Commentators: Dave Prazak and Jared David
Samoa Joe says that three years ago Ring of Honor took a risk brought him and AJ Styles together and tonight AJ will learn that not much has changed, as they go at it one more time in AJ Styles’ last Ring of Honor Match. He also has some words for Brian Danielson.
Lacey is supposed to cut a promo but she was too busy on the phone.
Jack Evans vs. Brian Danielson
This really wasn’t too good. It was very one-sided and the crowd hated Brian Danielson.
Winner: Brian Danielson
Irish Airborne vs. Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal w/Allison Danger
This wasn’t too bad. Irish Airborne were pretty green but they tried their best.
Winners: Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal
Nigel McGuinness says he’s a better champion than Brian Danielson and he will unify the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship and the Ring of Honor Pure Championship. Tonight, he’s gonna kick Delirious’ ass.
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Colt Cabana
That’s a lot of “c”’s. I’m really thinking Claudio Castagnoli is over rated. I’ve seen a lot of matches from Ring of Honor over a lot of years in the last few weeks and he’s been a joke in almost all of them. This was okay.
Winner: Colt Cabana
AJ Styles says he’s leaving Ring of Honor on a high note tonight.
Ultimate Endurance for the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships
The Embassy w/Prince Nana and Daizee Haze vs. BJ Whitmer & Adam Pearce vs. the Rottweilers w/Julius Smokes vs. Roderick Strong & Austin Aries (champions)
This was entertaining. The rules were it was an elimination match with the first fall being a four-team scramble match, the second fall being a submission match and the final fall being a normal tag match. They did a lot in the short time they were given but it gave the show the much needed spark of excitement it desperately needed. [It felt like a short match but according to the Interwebs it was a thirty-five minute match].
Winners: Roderick Strong & Austin Aries
Brian Danielson says he doesn’t answer to anybody and tomorrow he’s going to take Samoa Joe out. And he tells Nigel McGuinness he’s all for unifying the titles.
Steve Corino comes out and stops Alex Payne’s match from starting. They fight. Then he cuts a promo but the audio is pretty bad. I think he called the fans “idiot losers”. He calls Homicide out and they fight. Then Adam Pearce comes out and fights Homicide. Then BJ Whitmer comes out and tries to defuse it all but there’s more fighting.
For the Ring of Honor Pure Championship
Delirious vs. Nigel McGuinness (champion)
This was pretty funny at the beginning when Delirious had no clue as to what the Pure rules were and blew through all his rope breaks in less than five minutes. I mean, it made the Pure rules look dumb but I think this rather abrasive crowd wasn’t buying them anyway. This was a good match, the best I’ve seen from Delirious.
Winner: Nigel McGuinness
Lacey says Jimmy Jacobs is sitting at home tonight because he pried into her personal life.
The Briscoes vs. KENTA & Davy Richards
I liked this match because they jerks in the crowd who’d been riding everyone the whole night kept yelling out “KENTA” in high pitched Japanese girl voices. It was like watching a show from Japan. As much fun as I like to make fun of KENTA and his mark fans this was actually entertaining when he was in the ring. Shame the Davey Richards being in the ring stuff got in the way. Six stars minus two and a quarter stars divided by three and multiplied by two point seven-one for happening in the wrong country.
Winners: the Briscoes
AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe
I’ve seen this match before on the Samoa Joe “Total Domination” DVD that Ring of Honor put out a few years ago. It was a good match but surprisingly short all things considered (it was AJs last match in Ring of Honor before he became full-time at TNA). I think AJ Styles lost a tooth going face first into the apron at one point of the match.
Winner: Samoa Joe

The Briscoes are coming for the Tag Team Titles.
Samoa Joe is coming for Bryan Danielson and the Championship.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
This was an okay show. Nothing really popped out and screamed “WATCH ME” but the main event, the Briscoes verses KENTA and Davey Richards, the Pure title match and the four way Tag Team Match were all pretty good.
This crowd was f***ing NASTY. They gave everyone a hard time and at times I questioned if they even wanted to be there. There were times when I wanted them to shut up but there were other times (like when they were mocking KENTA) where I was loving it.
