ROH Tag Team champions Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas vs. The All Night Express.

Titus and Haas started off and they went back and forth on the mat with Haas mostly controlling it and working on Titus' leg.  Titus broke free but was caught again in a leglock.    Haas shoulderblocked Titus down but Titus got right back up and challenged him.  Haas slapped him in the face and Titus fired back.  Titus fired back and caught Haas with a pair of hiptosses and locked in an armdrag.

Benjamin tagged in and the champions double shoulderblocked Titus down.  Benjamin locked in a side chinlock, wearing down Titus.   King tagged in and locked up with Benjamin.   King was shoulderblocked down several times and run out of the ring.   Benjamin's ribs were taped up.   King returned to the ring.  They locked up again.  King grabbed a reverse waistlock and rode Benjamin to the mat.  Benjamin reversed and held the waistlock as they returned to their feet.  King ran around the ring and sent Benjamin out the ropes to the floor.

Benjamin returned and they locked up again.   Benjamin caught him with a hammerlock.   King reversed but was caught with several hiptosses and armdrags.   The ANX finally gained control.  They trapped Benjamin in their corner and Titus drilled him with a running boot.  King splashed Benjamin and locked on a sitting abdominal stretch.  Benjamin tried to force his way to his feet and finally gutted it out and hiptossed King over.  Benjamin stepped out of an attempted splash in the corner and drilled King with his knees in the back.

Haas tagged in and cleaned house on both.  He nailed a German suplex on Titus and lifted him again for a second one.  Haas nailed the Angleslam and locked in the Haas of Pain on Titus.  King jumped into the ring and broke it up.  Haas faced off with King but was caught with a punch by Titus.  Haas came back to whip him hard into the corner, then brought him over to the champions' corner.

Benjamin tagged in and nailed a snap suplex.   He draped Titus across the ropes and nailed him with a running kneelift for a two count.   Titus avoided a hold, drilled a knee and tagged King.  King unleashed a ton of offense, scoring several near falls.  King nailed a leaping kick for a two count.  King went for a sunset flip but Benjamin caught him mid-stream and dropped him down.

Haas tagged in and drilled him with an inverted atomic drop as Benjamin nailed a clothesline.  Haas drilled Titus with several shots and backdropped him over the ropes.   Haas drilled him across his knees.  King splashed Haas in the corner  and went to the top.  King fought off a superplex attempt and sent him flying to the mat.  Benjamin leapt up for a superplex but Titus slipped underneath and they did a Tower of Doom spot for a really close near fall that the place exploded for.

They continued back and forth with some really good action.  King and Haas made the tag in and brawled in the center of the ring.  King caught him with a superkick but Haas nailed a big boot and gave him the finger.  King superkicked him again.  Haas and Benjamin cut him off with a splash while he was hanging over the ropes and drilled him with a double spinebuster for the pin.

Your winners and still ROH Tag Team champions, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin!

All four showed respect for each other after the match.

Solid match but at a much slower pace than you'd expect going in.  There were some really good sequences here and the crowd thought the ANX were going to win the belts after the Tower of Doom spot so they had the crowd, which is what caught  important here.

ROH champion Davey Richards vs. El Generico.

They had some great back and forth wrestling to start off.  They faced off.  Richards was caught with a Lucha armdrag and sent to the floor.  Generico went to do a dive but Richards walked off so instead Generico did a flip off the ropes to psych him out.  The crowd sang "Ole Ole Ole" for Generico.

Richards caught Generico in the corner with a drilling kick in the corner.   Generico fought him with kicks and chops.   Richards backdropped him over the top to the floor.  Richards ran across the apron and drilled him with a kick and hit a dive through the ropes.   Back in the ring, Richards worked him over in the ring but Generico ducked a charge and Richards went through the ropes to the floor.  Generico hit a crazy flip dive over the top to the floor.

Generico worked over Richards and drilled him with forearms and a Michinoku Driver for a two count.   Richards rolled out of the way of a charge and went into the corner kicking Generico.  He began tagging him with kick after kick in the corner.   Richards nailed a running knee strike and placed Generico on the top rope.  He pulled Generico up and drilled him with a superplex for a near fall.

Richards drilled Generico with a shot but Generico fired back.   They battled back and forth.   Generico went for a brainbuster but Richards drilled him with a knee.  Richards fired back with a suplex into a slam for a two count.   The crowd began trying to rally both men, who were spent.

Richards went for a full nelson suplex but Generico slipped out and used the buckles to float over into a forward choke.  Richards slipped out and turned it into an ankle lock submission but Generico made it to the ropes to force a break.    Richards tagged Generico with several stiff kicks to the chest.   Richards rebounded off the ropes with a running knee strike.  Generico pulled himself up to his feet and punched him with a big right.   Richards unloaded with strikes, angered but was caught with several suplexes for a two count.

Generico went for the brainbuster but Richards reversed it and dropped Generico on the outside.  Generico picked up Richards and gave him the brainbuster on the outside apron.  The referee began counting both men out of the ring.   Richards was out and almost counted out but returned at the last second when Generico brought him in.  Generico covered him but Richards kicked out at the last second.  The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."

Richards rolled out to the apron.  As Generico stepped out, Richards snapped him with a Dragon Screw legwhip.   He went to the top but Generico fought him and tried for the brainbuster.   Richards pounded him with shots across the back and beat Generico down.  He went for a sunset flip powerbomb but Generico held on and nailed several punches in the corner.  Richards came back and nailed a Dragon Superplex.  What the hell!   Richards nailed several moves but Generico kept kicking out.  Richards locked in the ankle lock but was kicked off and hit the turnbuckles face first.

Richards shook it off and charged Generico but was caught with an exploder in the corner and a big boot.  Generico used a rear naked choke and scissored Richards' body.  He was nearly pinned doing the move but kicked out and applied the choke again,.  He scored a two count out of a rollup and locked on an anklelock.  Richards caught him with an inside cradle for a two count.

Richards drilled Generico with a big clothesline for a two count, then nailed a suplex for a two count.   Richards measured Generico and drilled him with a pair of kicks to the head.   He rebounded of with a kick to the head and scored the pin.

Your winner and still ROH champion, Davey Richards!

Kevin Steen hit the ring and attacked Richards.  They brawled as the entire locker room and all the officials ran out.   Jacobs and Corino hit the scene and attacked Steen.  He whipped him into all four sides of the rail and brawled with him.   Everyone tried to hold them apart.  Generico dove off the apron onto everyone trying to get at Steen.   Steen was again dragged out of the building.  The show ended with Corino, Generico, Jacobs and Richards in the ring.  

Richards took the mic and said he's not going to take any time giving that fat piece of sh** any mind but if he wants a fight, he doesn't need to do anything but ask.  He said to Generico that their actions speak louder than any words can. Generico hugged him.   Richards said don't give the fat piece of crap any time when Generico deserves it and lead the crowd in singing "Ole Ole".  He turned to Steve Corino.  He said he hasn't been in the ring with him but has seen Corino's trial and tribulations.  He said it takes a real man and honor to admit their mistakes before the world and try to become a better man.  The crowd chanted for Corino.  He said that he doesn't know what Corino's plans are but he's followed honor and has earned Richards' respect.   They shook hands.  Richards said that what everyone should take from tonight is the fact that people can indeed change.

The main event was an extremely stiff and hard fought match that went back and forth.  The dragon superplex was quite a sight to behold.  Richards' intensity live in the ring is incredible and something you really have to see live. The closing brawl was a ton of fun.
