Ring of Honor “Reloaded Tour 2016: Pittsburgh”
September 16th, 2016
From Stage AE in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino (with Bobby Cruise for the first half of the show)
TONIGHT: the Bullet Club take on Jay Lethal, Dalton Castle and Colt Cabana.
Will Ferrara vs. ACH
This was a good opener. I’m enjoying all these Will Ferrara matches I’ve been watching lately. He really isn’t that bad in the ring and with Ring of Honor headed back to obscurity in the post-Elite world I look forward to him main eventing Final Battle 2019.
Winner: ACH
Jonathan Gresham vs. Delirious
This was a good technical wrestling match but not as entertaining as your usual Delirious match, thus it really killed the crowd.
Winner: Jonathan Gresham
Frankie Kazarian vs. Chris Sabin
This was a good match but I have zero interest in Chris Sabin.
Winner: Frankie Kazarian
Kamaitachi attacks Sabin but Alex Shelley comes to the rescue, which leads to the next match.
Kamaitachi vs. Alex Shelley
This was a really good match.
Winner: Alex Shelley
Christopher Daniels comes down and expresses his frustration with the Addiction and Kamaitachi being held down. He plans on taking his frustration out on Jay White later tonight.
Four Corners Survival Tag Team Match
Silas Young & the Beer City Bruiser vs. War Machine vs. the All Night Express w/the Cabinet vs. the Briscoes
This one started out really hot but cooled down after the first few minutes. It was still a really good match though. Really good. The only team that bored me when they were in the ring was War Machine. I’ve seen enough of those guys and they don’t do anything for me. But this match was awesome.
Winners: the Briscoes

Steve Corino exits the commentary booth and Will Ferrara takes his place.
Chris Lerusso vs. Cheeseburger
This was a good dark match that somehow found its way onto the main card.
Winner: Cheeseburger
The lights go out and when they come back on BJ Whitmer and Punishment Martinez are in the ring. They take Cheeseburger and Lerusso our. Will Ferrara runs in from commentary to help but to no avail. Steve Corino runs in and tries to help but Whitmer and Punishment just ask him to join them in their beating. He does not.
Alex Shelley joins Kevin Kelly at commentary.
Caprice Coleman w/the Cabinet vs. Lio Rush
This was fine.
Winner: Lio Rush
Christopher Daniels vs. JAY f***ING WHITE
This match was pretty good. I mean that’s obvious because JAY f***ING WHITE was in it. The only way for it to have been perfect is if his opponent had been JAY f***ING WHITE.
Winner: JAY f***ING WHITE
JAY f***ING WHITE
Steve Corino re-joins the commentary booth:
The Bullet Club (Adam Cole and the Young Bucks) vs. Colt Cabana, Dalton Castle & Jay Lethal w/different Boys
This was a fun match, not really a good match. Until the end, then it did get good. But it was one of those matches that was probably A LOT of fun for the live crowd.
Winners: Colt Cabana, Dalton Castle & Jay Lethal

Post show recap with Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino
Kelly Klein, Veda Scott & BRITT f***ING BAKER vs. Mandy Leon, Faye Jackson & “Crazy” Mary Dobson
BRITT f***ING BAKER, BABY!!!!!!
A-E-W!
A-E-W!
This was Faye Jackson’s third pro match and it showed. Even a ring general like BRITT f***ING BAKER AEW DOUBLE OR NOTHING!!!!!! couldn’t really help her. The ending portions of this match were really entertaining. Everything fell apart into a mess but it was a good mess. I’m not being an ironic jerk when I say this match was worth watching. Kudos to all involved.
Winners: Kelly Klein, Veda Scott & BRITT f***ING BAKER AEW
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
This was a really good show. The crowd was dead for some of the middle matches but those were still good matches. The four corners survival tag match was a really good one. And the main event started silly but ended really good. And you know what, the chaos at the end of the Women of Honor match on the bonus features was a lot of fun too. I’d advise you to check this DVD out.
They used a different camera angle and lighting during this show, which gave it a very indie look and feel. It was a nice change. It looked like a Ring of Honor show from 2005-2009.
Bobby Cruise did a good job on commentary. I like the guy so I’m never going to say anything negative about him. My wife and I met him at the last show we went to and he was a really nice guy. He still did his usual ring announcing duties too.
