The dragon that was Morishima has been slain, long live the dragon slayer, Nigel McGuinness!

Remember to send your thoughts on the show: a score from 1-10, match of the night and trash of the night!

-Prazak and Leonard are in the ring and welcome us to Ring of Honor! The ROH title is on the line tonight as Morishima defends against McGuinness. Leonard thanks us for inviting ROH into our homes. Claudio is here in the ring already, prepared to face off with Chris Hero.

-Super Agent Larry Sweeney is out with Sweet and Sour Inc. Hero is not pleased with the terms of the match, and Hero is holding out until he gets what he wants. Since Claudio signed to face Hero, and there isn't more money on the table, Claudio is off of the PPV. Sweeney and crew are off and back to their limo.

-We get the opening video, set to Smashing Pumpkins and highlighting the last show.

-The Age of the Fall are in the ring. Jacobs says there is confusion over them jumping the Briscoe Brothers. They aren't an invasion, they are a revolution. They will spread their message, but they need power and the tag team titles would give them that, and that is why they attacked the Briscoe's. But ROH says they have to prove themselves and defeat some tag teams. Well, who ever wants to step up can bring it on sunshine.

-Julius Smokes and the Vulture Squad are out to answer the challenge!

The Vulture Squad (Jack Evans & Ruckus w/Julius Smokes and Jigsaw) vs. The Age of the Fall (Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black w/Lacey)

Brawling to begin, Ruckus gets a head scissors to Jacobs. Ruckus tosses by Black, and he gets what was basically a Sasuke special to the floor on the Squad, sweet. Jacobs and Ruckus back in, basement dropkick by Jacobs for 2. Tag to Black, off the ropes and a dropkick by Black gets 2. Knees by Black, tree of woe on Ruckus and Jacobs tags in and gets a charging knee followed by the double dropkick from Black and Jacobs for 2. They beat down Ruckus, Black stays in and a slam and knee drop and Kip up by Black. He covers for 2 as Evans makes the save. Tag to Jacobs, Jacobs to the 2nd rope and fires away on Ruckus. Tag back to Black and kicks to the head by Black. Ruckus manages a cool swinging neck breaker on Black and finally tags Evans! Kicks by Evans, dropkick into a moonsault onto Jacobs. Springboard knee to Black, spin kick to Jacobs and then eats a spear by Jacobs. Springboard kicks by Ruckus, and then the razzle-dazzle. Black stops that, hangs Ruckus over the top rope and gets a boot, sending him to the floor. Sets Ruckus in a chair and Jacobs with a plancha from the ring! Evans flies out for a RANA on the floor, but Black powerbombs him into the barrier! They then get the senton/brainbuster combo into the end time (guillotine choke) and Evans taps. Super fun opener.

-We go backstage to see Nigel. He's getting his gear on and says this is a crappy locker room. Old lockers, barely working light, but it is ok. It isn't about being a star or millions of dollars, it is about the love of pro wrestling. A dream. By doing that, I sit in these locker rooms, I paid my dues, and by doing that you get opportunities, like what he has tonight. He is known as a tough soccer thug, but he is still that 15-year old that dreamt of being a pro wrestler. I came to America, paid my dues and while you remember that, I am also that guy that makes you bleed. That knocks you out, and that is all I need to get the title tonight. This ROH belt means something, makes you the best, and when I beat you Morishima, it also means my dream will have come true.
