Daniels & Sydal Set To Defend 3 Times In The FYF

Daniels & Sydal About To Be Tested
Thursday, February 01, 2007

ROH World Tag Team Champions Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal are about to be put to the test. They have signed to take on three of the most exciting, dynamic and innovative duos in the entire wrestling business during the Fifth Year Festival. The pressure will be on as all these matches could be for the ROH World Tag Team Titles.

A ROH World Tag Team Title Match can main event any ROH show. The reputation of the belts was made by Austin Aries & Roderick Strong in 2006. Now the fans are looking to Daniels & Sydal to uphold and increase the prestige. So far there have been critics since Daniels & Sydal have only defended the titles once since winning them at "Dethroned" on 11/25/06 from Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli. However, Daniels & Sydal proved they were credible champions in their lone defense on 12/22/06 at "International Challenge" against the Dragon Gate duo of CIMA & Shingo. If Daniels & Sydal can make it past the Fifth Year Festival with the belts, no one can criticize them. Here is their list of opponents including a new match that was just signed for 2/24 in Chicago.

-2/16, Manhattan, NY, Daniels & Sydal vs. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong- It doesn't get any bigger than this ROH World Tag Team Title Match. Aries & Strong made the belts into World Titles, they put on great match after great match against the top teams in the business en route to a nine month reign. These two teams met before and stole the show at "Gut Check" last August. The first meeting saw Aries & Strong defend the titles. Now the tables are turned. Daniels & Sydal must defeat Aries & Strong to prove themselves as champions. Aries & Strong want to show why they can be called the greatest team in ROH history. This is what the ROH World Tag Team Titles are all about.

-2/17, Philadelphia, PA, Daniels & Sydal vs. Jack Evans & Shingo- If Daniels & Sydal make it past NYC the belts will be on the line here. Dragon Gate officials wanted a rematch after the incredible 12/22 bout. Daniels & Sydal are granting it to the duo of Evans & Shingo. This is one of the most exciting matches possible with four tremendous athletes and two incredible high-flyers. Jack Evans has stated he wants gold. Shingo needs to build his reputation in Japan by winning a ROH title. If Daniels & Sydal make it past two tough defenses in one weekend they will solidify their credibility.

-2/24, Chicago, IL, Daniels & Sydal vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe- It will be time for Daniels & Sydal to "man up" in Chicago when ROH debuts at the Windy City Fieldhouse. ROH is traveling to the other side of Chicago for this huge debut. If Daniels & Sydal make it to Chicago with the belts they will be on the line here. The Briscoes are more determined than ever to win the titles. This will be epic.

Even if there is a title change all these matches will take place as scheduled, they will just be non-title. Daniels & Sydal will need all the help Allison Danger can offer to make it past these duos. If Daniels & Sydal pass these tests they can be considered the elite team in the entire wrestling world.

The belts are coming to the Briscoes, finally!

[thecontracode]

Yup, looks like the Briscoes will have them on the 24th

[THE Dinobot]

Mark and Jay are bound for glory gold come February 24th. YAY!

[Arturo Classico]

I see Briscoes winning it although Daniels and Sydal would look so strong if they won all three matchups which would be really cool and make the team to finally beat them uberstrong!

[BlackHoleMark]

Why are the belts not being defended on the 23rd? Why?

[Ultimo Chocula]

Yup, I think the Briscoes will take the straps.

Daniels will probably be in some kind of 3-way or 4-corner match. He seems to be their go-to guy for those kinda matches.

Briscoes >> next ROH Tag Champs

[Brain Of F'n J]

Wuh ... what? Wait a minute ... the RoH Tag Titles are still ACTIVE?!?

~Sydal to Sapolsky: "I'm sick of carrying this belt around for nothing. I mean, it weighs almost as much as Jack Evans."

[HMARK Center]

Finally got both guys appearing on the same show for a nice stretch of time. Good to see.

Briscoes match in Chicago will be the big one to watch. If they're gonna lose 'em, it'll be there.

Then again, outside of, say, Homicide's title win, Gabe's not big on doing the "obvious", so we'll see.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

Maybe they'll lose the belts at the first gate, and we'll see Aries/Strong versus the Briscoes?

Dude, there's already about four DVD's where you can see that.

There's fifty different shows where Joe/Homicide headlines, and they still put that as the main event of a recent show.

I just can't see it happening, since in 2006 the Briscoes pretty much became Aries and Strong's bitches.
