ROH War of the Worlds live results: Chaos vs. Bullet Club in Dearborn

Submitted by reader Joel Fragomeni

– Kelly Klein won a dark match before the show started.

– Dalton Castle defeated Bobby Fish

Castle hit the Bang-a-Rang to win a good opener.

– Jay White & Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Rebellion

People were into MCMG in Michigan and Shane Taylor got a good response from the crowd tonight. The match was all action, with Jay White looking very good.

– Silas Young defeated KUSHIDA

Young won clean with his finisher. This was good, though it wasn’t great.

– War Machine defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi & Jay Lethal

Lethal took the pin. The match was good, with Tanahashi working hard again tonight. I think some fans were upset with some of the NJPW guys losing as much as they did as they were really over, more so than in Toronto.

– ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Bully Ray & The Briscoes defeated EVIL, SANADA & BUSHI to retain their titles

BUSHI got put through a table by a Dudley bomb for the finish. EVIL and SANADA were accidentally hit by the green mist leading up to that. The match was declared a “no disqualification match” by Bully Ray at the start. It was a wild brawl mostly. Bully Ray was over huge tonight, giving away the broken pieces of table heading into intermission.

ROH didn’t play up that this was their six-man tag champs against the NEVER six-man tag champions at all despite both teams bringing their belts.

– Tetsuya Naito defeated Punishment Martinez

Naito hit the Destino to win after Martinez countered the move earlier. This was okay.

– Cheeseburger defeated Beer City Bruiser, Marty Scurll, Frankie Kazarian, Will Ferrara, Gedo, and Vinny Marseglia in an Instant Reward Proving Ground match

Cheeseburger pinned Beer City Bruiser to get an immediate shot at Scurll’s TV title. This had lots of comedy, including Gedo forming a “tag team” with Scurll and a “human centipede” of head scissors that got reversed by Scurll and everyone sold big. Marseglia got on the mic and added himself to the match before it started. It was very entertaining.

– ROH World Television Champion Marty Scurll defeated Cheeseburger to retain his title

Scurll submitted Cheeseburger with the crossface chicken wing in a quick match.

– ROH World Champion Christopher Daniels defeated Matt Taven to retain his title

Daniels won with the Best Moonsault Ever in a better match than expected. Both guys worked hard and this would’ve been a great match, but nobody thought Taven could win, even though everyone was into it at the end.

Taven busted Daniels’ nose with a knee strike at one point and it bled for the rest of the match and may have been broken.

– Hirooki Goto, Will Ospreay & Roppongi Vice defeated Cody, Hangman Page & The Young Bucks

Ospreay pinned Nick Jackson after hitting a double OsCutter on both Bucks. The match went around 25:00. It was another very good multi-man match from the Bucks, but more serious with less comedy than usual.

Ospreay was the star of the night by far, and his performance in this match was nothing short of incredible, doing all of his usual flying stuff. He did a double reverse hurricanrana on the Bucks and the spectacular finishing move. I took a friend who doesn’t follow modern wrestling and all he could talk about was Ospreay on the ride home. It was a very good main event. 

To take nothing away from The Young Bucks at all, without Kenny Omega their reaction coming out was nothing compared to Toronto. In fact, Cody might have got the most cheers coming out for their team.
