Ring Of Honor: Race To The Top Tournament Night 1
September 19th 2008

Show kicks off with an awesome crowd chanting ROH. Cary Silkin comes out and welcomes everyone back to ROH and everyone is in for one hell of a show tonight.

Opening Contest: Bracket A Tournament Match: Hallowicked Vs. Chuck Taylor
Taylor starts off the match by stomping away on 'wicked. Wicked counters an attempted suplex into an arm drag. Wicked uses his size advantage to keep control. In the end, Hallowicked goes for the Go 2 Sleepy Hallow but Taylor reverses and hits the Awful Waffle for the pin.
Winner: Chuck Taylor(8:10)

Post match, Chuck Taylor goes out of the ring and screams in a little kids face. Hallowicked gets applause following the match from the crowd as leaves the ring.

Bracket A Tournament Match: Delirious Vs. Gran Akuma
Delirious goes crazy as the match starts. Delirious tells Akuma his head is shiny. Akuma doesn't take crap, so he goes to work on Delirious. Delirious gets nailed with the Yoshi Tonic for 2. Akuma goes for the Falcon Arrow, but Delirious pushes him out of the way. Delirious hits a back lariat to the head of Akuma, then locks in the Cobra Stretch, which does the job.
Winner: Delirious (9:01)

Post match, Delirious and Akuma shake hands.

The Larry Sweeney Show starring Larry Sweeney
Sweeney comes out to the ring and announces that Ring Of Honor has cut him a great deal for tomorrow's 4-on-4 tag team match, plus the $10,000 incentive they will receive for winning. Sweeney brings out his guest for the night, Erick Stevens. Sweeney asks Stevens to join SNS Inc and to become part of the revolution since he see's talent in him. Erick takes the microphone and tells Sweeney no. Sweeney whispers something into Erick's ear, which makes him take a step back. Sweeney asks Erick what he thinks. Stevens says he thinks Sweeney can kiss his ass. Stevens then hits the Doctor Bomb on Sweeney and leaves the ring. After a minute of pain, Sweeney gets to his knee's and announces that tomorrow, Stevens will pay.

Race To The Top First Round Match, Bracket B: El Generico Vs. Jigsaw
This ruled so hard. They start out chain wrestling until Jigsaw hits a flip dive to the outside. Later on, Generico slips out of the Jig N' Tonic and rolls Jigsaw up for 2. Jigsaw goes for a Bicycle kick but Generico ducks, which sends Jigsaw to the corner. Generico then hits the Yakuza Kick followed by the BRAINBUSTAH~! for the victory.
Winner: El Generico(12:02)

Post match, both men follow the code of honor. Ruckus comes out to attend to Jigsaw. Jigsaw looks up at Ruckus and pushes him away. Jigsaw tells Ruckus that this weekend was supposed to be about him, and Ruckus didn't help. Jigsaw goes to the back pissed.

Race To The Top First Round Match, Bracket B: Ruckus Vs. Kenny Omega
Omega and Ruckus tear the house down here. Ruckus hits a Pele kick followed by a Fisherman's Buster for 2. Ruckus goes up high but Omega runs up and hits a top rope belly-to-belly suplex. Omega covers but only gets 2. Omega eventually wins this one with a release German Suplex/ Cross Legged Brainbuster Combo.
Winner: Kenny Omega(9:02)

Post match, Omega celebrates and leaves the ring. Jigsaw comes out to see Ruckus. He picks Ruckus up and grabs a microphone. Jigsaw says he apologizes. Ruckus says it's all good. Ruckus goes to leave the ring, but Jigsaw turns him around and says "For not doing this sooner." Jigsaw then hits the Jig N' Tonic on Ruckus and announces he is the newest member of Sweet and Sour. Larry Sweeney comes out to the ring and shakes hands with Jigsaw as they leave the ring.


RTTT Tournament, Bracket C: Matt Cross Vs. The Necro Butcher
Necro absolutely murders poor Matt Cross here for the opening minutes. Cross gains the advantage halfway through, hitting a flip dive onto Necro. Cross throws him into the ring and goes for a SSP, but Necro moves out of the wa and hits the Tiger Driver for the win.
Winner: The Necro Butcher(4:02)

Post match, Necro gets on the microphone and says he is tired of being 2nd fiddle in a group. Necro announces his resignation from AOTF. Jacobs comes out to the ring and asks if Aries has gotten to his head. Necro denies it and leaves the ring in a confused state. With Jacobs already in the ring, Bobby Cruise announces his match is now.

RTTT Tournament, Bracket C: Jimmy Jacobs Vs. Mike Quackenbush
Jacobs seemed a little distracted in this one, most likely because of The Necro Butcher. Quack murders Jacobs on the mat, but Jacobs picks up the pace on their legs. Quack locks in the CHIKARA special, but Jacobs manages to reach the ropes. Quack goes for a Full Nelson Suplex but Jacobs counters and hits the Contra Code for the win.
Winner: Jimmy Jacobs(13:02)

Austin Aries comes out to the ring with a microphone. Aries announces that his hate for Jimmy Jacobs has grown stronger since the ROH hiatus. Aries says that Jacobs is a little emo bitch who needs to move on and hand Lacey back. Jacobs tells Aries that he has no idea where Lacey is. Aries tells Jacobs to cut the crap. Jacobs says he seriously has no idea, she could be in one place or she could have escaped. Aries demands to know where she is. Jacobs says to go to 23 Martin Avenue in Chicago, Illinois if he wants to see Lacey so bad. Aries brawls to the back with Jimmy.

RTTT Tournament Bracket D: Kevin Steen Vs. Davey Richards
Steen and Richards battle it out with a chop fest early on. Steen throws Jacobs over the top rope and goes for a flip dive but Richards had it scouted and managed to move out of the way, sending Steen to the mat. Richards worked over the arm from here on out. Steen later tried for the Package Piledriver, but he couldn't get Richards up with his weakened arm. Davey hit a superkick for 2. Finish comes when Steen managed to hit the Steenton Bomb for the win in an awesome match.
Winner: Kevin Steen(11:03)

Post match, Generico comes out to see Steen, and the two celebrate.

RTTT Tournament Bracket D: Bobby Fisch Vs. Erick Stevens
Stevens just takes out all of his frustrations garnered from SNS here. Fisch tried to get some offense, but the Doctor Bomb put Fisch down.
Winner: Erick Stevens(3:02)

Post match, Hero comes out with Toland and beats down Erick Stevens. Ironically, Roderick Strong comes out for the save. once Toland and Hero have been fended off, Roderick looks at Stevens and tells him it wasn't for him, he hates SNS also. Strong then leaves the ring.

Main Event: The Briscoe Brothers Vs. Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson
This was so insane. Back and forth contest here. Dragon isolated Mark for the majority of the match here. Jay gets the hot tag and cleans house. Mark hits a spear through the ropes onto Dragon. End comes a few minutes later when Dragon had the Cattle Mutilation on Mark and Aries hit the 450 to his back, which got the win.
Winner: Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson(16:02)

Post match, the teams shake hands as the show ends.

Very great first night of Race to the Top. Despite my love of Jimmy, I wanted Quack to come out the victor. I'm also very glad to see Aries/Danielson go over The Briscoes, and the Stevens squash was much of his earlier days in Ring of Honor.

I can't wait for Night 2.
