ROH results from 11-2 in Cincinnati, OH

Trent Van Drisse posted a very good report on this ROH event over on the Mid-Southern board. Check it out!

Myself and two married women attended tonights ROH show at the Masonic Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, titled "The Golden Dream". This was the third time ROH has run this venue in Cincy, and we've been to all three shows. This was fell in the middle both attendance wise, and show quality wise. I'd guesstimate the crowd around the 300 range. They didn't announce a return this time. This show set up some key stipulations for the December 14th "Final Battle" show in New York City.

As an extra for this board only, soon as we walked in, we saw none other than Chicken Hat Charles in the lobby. Man, that guy gets around to shows everywhere. Amazingly to me, Charles knew about this show in Cincinnati, and got to it, but didn't know ROH was coming to Nashville in January until I told him so tonight...Heh...Charles had a ringside seat(of course), was up banging on the guard rails doezens of times during the show.

Nigel McGuinness did a Q&A session from the ring before the show began. Cliff Compton, of all people, crashed the Q&A, and asked McGuinness why Kevin Steen was in the main event tonight. When asked why he even cared, Compton said he wanted to kill Steen, but then wasn't seen again the rest of the show.

McGinnness then opened the show by announcing that Adam Cole could not defend the ROH World title against Steen tonight due to a concussion Cole suffered last week in Chicago. Jay Briscoe, carrying his own "real world title" belt, Michael Elgin, and eventually Kevin Steen all came out state their cases for being the champion, and airing various beefs they had. It was finally decided that the winner of Jay Briscoe vs Kevin Steen tonight would be added to the Cole vs Elgin main event at Final Battle, turning that December match into a triple threat for the ROH title. Cole was in attendance tonight, and McGuinness added that anyone who touched Cole tonight would be immediately suspended from ROH, because they are serious about concussion issues.

Lenny "Legend" Mercer was the ring announcer tonight. McGuinness did commentary with Kevin Kelly for the entire first half of the show.
