ROH ROUND ROBIN CHALLENGE II


ROH RETRIBUTION: ROUND ROBIN CHALLENGE II 04/26/03


Christopher Daniels vs. Paul London
It's probably unfair to compare this to the finals of the OG ROH Round Robin Challenge finals, but yeah, it doesn't even come close. It's still a really nice match though. Maybe the hottest heel in the company going against the hottest babyface in the company was always gonna be appealing on at least some level, and since they both indeed are studs in that ring, they did deliver a good outing. London's selling was once again on point, and the best moments of the thing centered around him selling the damage Daniels had done to his mid-section. ***

Doug Williams vs. Samoa Joe 
Holy hell what a gem. They pack so much compelling, excellent wrestling into the 12-minutes or so that they go. Williams' focus on Joe's arm was really fantastic; he was like a snake with the ways he targeted that bodypart, always going after it any & every chance he got. Joe sold being in trouble brilliantly throughout, as any time he was on the offense himself busting out some sweet stuff, he never forgot to sell the damage Williams had done to his arm. And talking bout that sweet stuff, the finish w/ him countering Doug's Chaos Theory attempt into some GENERAL SAMOA JOE BADASSERY was aaaawesome & a truly superb way to cap off a great match. Everything about this ruled. ****
