This was Eddie’s debut match in Ring of Honor. Eddie’s dreadlocks are so ridiculous; I get trying to look unique, but this was too much. Anyway, Eddie proves capable of hanging with Aries in the ring, but he struggled with establishing a personality (I would argue it wasn’t until 2011 when Eddie was able to add something besides technical prowess to his singles matches). Eddie actually got a couple of nearfalls, which surprised me. In the end though, Aries hit the kick to the head, brainbuster and the 450 for the win. This was a solid match. It’s a shame these two never got another big opportunity to have a match in 2010 when both men were main eventers.
TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
