"Rising Above" Play-Per-View - RESULTS AVAILABLE!

Post by Texas Kelly »

Let's give another Ring of Honor Play-Per-View game a shot. "Man Up" was able to convince one of the toughest ROH critics on this site to give the promotion a chance, and hopefully another good showing here will bring more viewers in. (And you can't beat the price compared to a WWE, or even TNA, show.)

(I know I said I'd wait until the weekend, but the card's already full and I'd like for as many people to see this before they go on Christmas holidays or whatever.)

The rules are the same as last time out: All matches that listed for picks will be scored regardless of whether they are taped for PPV or not. Matches that air on the PPV will be doubled in their value. (This does not apply to bonuses that are tied to matches that make the PPV.) The Play-Per-View will not be scored until the PPV actually airs, which will be likely sometime in the spring of 2008.

Here is the announced card:

A. ROH World Championship
Nigel McGuinness (c) v. Austin Aries

B. ROH World Tag Team Championship - Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match
Jay & Mark Briscoe (c) v. The No Remorse Corps (Roderick Strong & Rocky Romero)

C. BONUS - 5 points
Who will be pinned or made to submit in the deciding fall of the World Tag Team Championship match?

D. "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson v. Takeshi Morishima

E. Claudio Castagnoli v. Chris Hero (w/Sweet 'n' Sour Inc.)

F. Tag Team Scramble
The Vulture Squad (Jack Evans & Ruckus, w/Julius Smokes) v. Kevin Steen & El Generico v. The Age of the Fall (Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black, w/Lacey) v. The Hangmen Three (two of Brent Albright, BJ Whitmer & "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce)

G. Naomichi Marufuji v. A Mystery Opponent

H. BONUS - 5 points
Who will Marufuji's opponent be?

I. SHIMMER Three-Way
Sara Del Rey v. Daizee Haze v. Lacey

J. Three-Way Dance
Jigsaw v. Necro Butcher v. Matt Cross

K. TIEBREAKER
What will be the bell-to-bell time of Danielson v. Morishima?

NOTES
[list][*]The winner of the ROH World Championship match will defend the belt at Final Battle the next evening in a Four Man Elimination Match against Hero, Danielson & Morishima.
[*]The Briscoes are on a streak of having won four consecutive Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls matches in two falls.
[*]If Castagnoli loses to Hero, Castagnoli must leave ROH. If Castagnoli wins, Castagnoli will face Sweet 'n' Sour Inc.'s Larry Sweeney one-on-one at Final Battle.
[*]A Tag Team Scramble differs from a traditional tag team match in that when a wrestler leaves the ring, whether by his own decision or by being forced out by his opponent, his partner may legally enter the match without physically being tagged in.
[*]The Marufuji v. Mystery Opponent match will headline the non-PPV portion of the card. According to the ROH Newswire, Marufuji's opponent will be a "top quality opponent" that will be determined by the results of the PPV.[/list]


Go to the Play-Per-View Registration Page to submit your picks! (If you previously posted picks in this thread, please resubmit them via the system.)

http://www.stablewars.com/ppv/registration.php

Picks are due Saturday, December 29 @ 7:30 PM EST. Good luck!

ETA: nevermind, my vision seems bad right now.

Why don't we stick this up as a main event game? Maybe we'll get attention from the ROH guys that won't touch TNA and WWE. Scott Keith's blog is full of ROH nuts.

I'm too far behind in ROH. I still need to watch Man Up. I heard it was awesome. Maybe I'll go download that now!

This particular PPV will probably air sometime in March. ROH's next PPV "Undeniable" will start airing January 18 after being taped in early October.

That would be just FINE by me (and a bunch of others, I'm sure) but of course, it's up to the admins. Watsuki? Fuggs?

Not happening... if I didn't see Morishima taking on Marufuji, I'd say Aries loses to Nigel and takes on Marufuji instead.

D. "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson v. Takeshi Morishima

This shit better make the PPV. The Man Up match was fucking sick, my favorite David/Goliath match since Sid/Michaels.

They play that song in my store sometimes ... and I often bang on the cart I'm pushing ala the fans on the guardrail at ROH events.

Aries still isn't my favourite ROHer of all time though. But since Shelley isn't there, I have to pull for him.

Fuck how I miss ROH Alex Shelley.

Fortunately, The Briscoes are still around, so I can get my fix whenever.

In fact...
