Review for Aftershock: Las Vegas 2015

Post by DBSommer »

Here's a little review of the Aftershock '15: Las Vegas

Did like the addition of the mini-tourny for the TV title, even if the winners had to wrestle 2 matches and had to hold something back in the first ones

ROH TV Title #1 Contender Tournament:

Bobby Fish vs. Matt Taven

Liked this one and a definite good way to open up the show

***1/4

Women of Honor Match:

ODB vs. Nanae Takahashi

First time seeing Takahashi and she impressed. ODB held her own in the ring, making it probably the best WOH match since they revived the concept

***

ROH TV Title #1 Contender Tournament:

Mark Briscoe vs. Christopher Daniels

Good, but the match wasn't as wild as it could have been since Daniels needed to wrestle later.

***
ROH TV Title #1 Contender Tournament:

Frankie Kazarian vs. ACH

This one, eh, not so much. Did like the tale of him going after ACH's neck, then ACH selling it later in the night.

**1/2

Young Bucks vs. RPG Vice

The Vice are indeed looking better and better as time progresses and they get used to one another. While I did like Kozlov, Trent is a superior wrestler and partner to Rocky

***3/4

Silas Young vs. Willie Mack

Woo Hoo. The Mack in ROH. Nice, if brief match making me want to see Willie more, especially since SD cut him from PWG.

**3/4, but it's brief and that was all they could do in the time alloted.

The Kingdom (Adam Cole & Michael Bennettt) Vs. War Machine

***1/4

3 Way Elimination World TV Title #1 Contender Tournament:

Christopher Daniels vs. ACH vs. Bobby Fish

Nice little 3 way, especially since all the guys had wrestled earlier. I think Bobby showed his worth singles wise this night

***1/2

And this was probably what put me over the time

Vegas Wild Card Match:

Jay Lethal & Austin Aries & Moose vs. Jay Briscoe & Dalton Castle & Kyle O'Reilly

This was a fun match. Not over the top nuts, but every guy got his chance to shine, and it really is a one time only mix of talent. Even if only for one night, it was great to see Aries back

***3/4

Overall rating: While nothing was blow away, it was an all around good card right down to the women's match. One of the most solid outings for what was essentially a house show.
