I know a few people who are crazy enough to fly over to Philly for this show.
Edit: And I'm not sure that's a good thing. Don't really know who plans to come, but one of the guys I know of is pretty much the biggest tool I have ever met in my life. Just found a video of him and his retard friends (most of them probably underage, mind you) drinking and having backyard matches literally a few feet away from the arena. Wrestling over here is always just one youtube clip away from being banned anyway, so yeah.

Saw Sabre take on Hero a year or so back, dude was pretty damn solid. Surprised it's taken this long for him to get a shot in the States given how much he's been built up over here.

Oh yes it would. Sawa vs Zack is one of my biggest 16 Carat dream match-ups, that would rule too.

16 Carat has been fucking awesome so far. Daisuke Sekimoto is the greatest man that ever lived. Chris Hero is the runner-up.

Good work ROH web designers, remaking the website but fucking up the link to the boards!!! Here's the results for Friday's ROH and DGUSA shows, for anyone who still watches indy wrestling. ROH (from Wrestling Observer) Not sure the attendance but it was a pretty good crowd. I'll try to get attendance for tomorrow.
We missed the opener but Colt Cabana won a multi-man match via submission.
2. Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli beat Scorpio Sky & Scott Lost. Hero and Claudio are heels but the crowd loved them. Good opener. Claudio did a pretty amazing double giant swing with both guys in powerbomb position, powerbombed them both afterwards, and then they hit their double team finisher for the win.
3. Alex Koslov beat Rocky Romero. Some great highspots early. Koslov hit a big dive that resulted in "FUCK WRESTLEMANIA!" chants. Romero tried a flying armbar off the top but Koslov turned it into a cradle upon landing for the pin.
4. Bison Smith NC Necro Butcher. Or something. They brawled all over the place, and by all over the place I mean into my lap at one point (literally), and then after they'd beaten the crap out of each other all over a bunch of heels came out and they announced that the match was over. People liked the brawl.
5. Kevin Steen beat Kenny Omega. Crowd chanted "THIS IS AWESOME" during some of the nearfalls. Steen hit a foule and a package piledriver near the finish but Omega kicked out, so Steen slapped him in the crossface and got the submission.
6. Steve Corino beat Generico. Totally different style of match, very slow-paced and methodical with Corino playing old-school heel. For the style it was very good. Generico had the win but Steen came out and pulled the ref out of the ring, then Generico, distracted, got rolled up and Corino put his feet on the ropes for the pin.
7. Tyler Black beat Austin Aries. They are doing a deal where tonight Tyler was going to face both Aries and Roderick Strong, his opponents at the PPV, and then tomorrow Strong faces both. Very good match. Aries went for the brainbuster at the finish and Tyler cradled him for the pin.
8. Strong beat Black. Another really good match. Tyler had the pin but Roddy got his feet on the ropes. As Tyler talked with the ref Roddy killed him with a kick and then hit a tiger driver for the pin.
9. Jerry Lynn beat Kenny King in a hardcore match. Jerry Lynn, in his mid-40s, worked his ass off here and looked like he nearly killed himself in the process. Fans were more into this than a lot of other stuff on the undercard. Jerry tied a sunset flip powerbomb through a table but only one of the legs broke. People booed and chanted "ONE MORE TIME!", but instead he gave King a cradle piledriver through the half-broken table and got the pin.
10. Briscoes beat Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards to retain the tag titles. It was clear the undercard was worked in such a way as to ensure that this match, an old-school style ROH match with a million nearfalls and kickouts, was the show-stealer. And it was. I'd say ****1/4 to ****1/2. Excellent stuff ending with Edwards kicking out of a Jay driller, but then eating the doomsday device for the pin.
DGUSA (from PW Chronicle) Like last year, our friend Carlos Lopez is attending some live shows over WrestleMania weekend in its host city and texting us results. This time, instead of Ring of Honor in Houston, it’s Dragon Gate USA in Phoenix.
Tonight’s show will be a supercard specifically for DVD (not a PPV taping). Right now, he’s at their meet & greet event.
Gabe Sapolsky over Facebook has confirmed that all of the wrestlers are in attendance, including Paul London, Jack Evans, and the unadvertised Teddy Hart.
Pre-Show Bonus Match: Brad Allen won the FRAY! 8-man elimination match with Royal Rumble-style entries every two minutes. It started with So-Cal wrestler Chimera and some other wrestler named The Prophet. Dustin Cutler and then his brother Brandon Cutler (of PWG) have entered, and they eliminated Chimera. The Cutlers then eliminated Prophet, and Brad Allen (FIP and EVOLVE) has entered. Irish Airborne’s Dave Crist entered next, followed by Malachi Jackson (younger brother of Nick and Matt Jackson). Allen eliminated Dustin Cutler. Jake Crist has entered and eliminated Brandon Cutler. One of the two tag teams entered are gone, and that’s all of the entrants for the match. Irish Airborne eliminated Malachi together. Finally, Allen eliminated both members of Irish Airborne to win what Carlos calls a “good indy match overall despite some blown spots.”
Dr. Keith Lipinski is the timekeeper again as he brought out the bell and the fans gear up for the main show.
The main show will open with a match being taped for an A&E reality series about young wrestlers trying to make it to the big time. No, not NXT, this is something different. Bob Saget (former Commissioner of Chikara!) is the host and is supposedly in the building. Right now the crew is shuffling people around to “get a better TV look.” Carlos - as well as presumably the rest of the crowd - had to sign a waiver to be filmed for television. Bob Saget makes his way to the ring.
1. YAMATO defeated Luke Hawx. Saget is the ring announcer for this match. YAMATO won the Open The Dream Gate Title last weekend in Japan from Naruki Doi. Hawx, formerly of Wrestling Society X, is one of the eight wrestlers taking part in the A&E show. YAMATO gets the win with a brainbuster.
2. Susumu Yokosuka & KAGETORA defeated Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw. Yokosuka pinned Quack after a modified Angel’s Wings (possibly Mugan, an overhead gutwrench into a double-arm DDT). It was supposed to be Genki Horiguchi teaming with Yokosuka in this match; no word on where he is now. This was the DGUSA (though not USA in general) debut of KAGETORA.
3. Non-Title Special Challenge Match: YAMATO defeated TJP. TJ Perkins, under his third or fourth name, loses via a choke sleeper. The new champ is two for three so far this weekend.
4. Brian Kendrick & Jon Moxley defeated Jimmy Jacobs & Paul London. Kendrick pinned Jacobs with a rollup. London took a nasty bump during the match.
- Teddy Hart comes out following the match, and something leads to Kendrick and London both jumping him to cheers of, “Fuck him up!”
5. Masato Yoshino defeated Shingo. Yoshino gets the submission victory. Amazingly, Shingo has yet to win a match in DGUSA.
- Intermission. I asked Carlos what he thought was the best match so far, and he says Shingo vs. Yoshino. “Started slow, but had a good story and nice action near the end. Solid wrestling all around.”
Chances are Carlos’ phone may have died (he warned me this might happen), as it’s been a long time since Intermission happened. It’s getting really late on this coast anyway, and Carlos said he might provide a full report.
3/27: The final matches of last night were LA PARK (the original La Parka we all knew and loved from WCW) & Hijo de Rey Misterio (the cousin of the more famous Rey Mysterio) defeating Derrick Neikerk (a former WWE developmental talent) & G.Q. Gallo by Dusty Finish DQ, BxB Hulk retaining the Open The Freedom Gate Title over Naruki Doi, and CIMA & Gamma & Dragon Kid defeating Jack Evans & The Young Bucks. Here’s Carlos’ writeup:

ROH attendance was apparently 1200 both nights.
DGUSA did roughly 200 Friday.
