The Vulture Squad (Jigsaw & Ruckus) vs. Adam Pearce & Shane Hagadorn from ROH’s Double Feature 2008

 

Recap from TJ Hawke:

This weekend of ROH shows were also used to tape the film, The Wrestler.  Also of note, Jigsaw is unmasked in this match (as with most of his matches in ROH).

 

Pearce and Hagadorn jumped the Vulture Squad before the bell.  Ruckus took both of them down with a dropkick, which sent both members of the Hangmen 3 to the floor.  Jigsaw and Ruckus then wiped them out with stereo dives.  Back in the ring, Hagadorn cut off Ruckus, and he set up Ruckus for a big top rope splash from Pearce.  Pearce then hit a big lariat on Ruckus.  Ruckus was worked over some more.  This was a boring heat segment.  I understand that the heels should be less exciting the faces, but this was too much. Ruckus thankfully escaped and tagged in Jigsaw who made a hot tag.  Pearce ate a double superkick.  Jigsaw and Ruckus then hit a Ghetto Stomp/Jig ‘n’ Tonic combo on Hagadorn: 1…2…3!

 

Ruckus and Jigsaw were perfectly fine, but man was the rest of this match boring.  I like Pearce and Hagadorn in ROH because they were different, but this match did not best showcase their talent.

About TJ Hawke

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.
