Ring of Honor headed north of the border to Canada this past weekend for live events in Montreal, Quebec and Markham, Ontario. Results of both events saw:

Montreal, Quebec- November 7th
1. Erick Stevens beat Eddie Edwards.
2. Jay & Mark Briscoe beat Kenny Omega & Kenny King. Late in the match Kenny King walked out on Omega leaving him alone to face the Briscoes. Rhett Titus appeared at ringside and left with King.
3. Necro Butcher defeated Brodie Lee by DQ after other members of the Age of the Fall attacked The Butcher.
4. Jerry Lynn beat Delirious.
5. Davey Richards beat Roderick Strong.
6. Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries beat Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black.
7. In a battle of champions elimination match, Nigel McGuinness retained the ROH World Title after defeating Kevin Steen. Earlier eliminations saw Go Shiozaki beat El Generico and Kevin Steen beat Go Shiozaki.

Markham, Ontario- November 8th
1. Davey Richards beat Jerry Lynn.
2. Rhett Titus & Kenny King defeated Delirious & Brodie Lee by countout. Delirious (legal man) chased Titus (not the legal man) to the back.
3. Roderick Strong & Erick Stevens beat Go Shiozaki & Eddie Edwards.
4. Austin Aries beat Jimmy Jacobs in a bloody Dog Collar Match.
5. Grizzley Redwood beat Alex "Sugarfoot" Payne
6. Bryan Danielson defeated Tyler Black & Kenny Omega in a tremendous Three Way Match.
7. Necro Butcher defeated Nigel McGuinness by DQ in an ROH World Title Match after Delirious & Brodie Lee of Age of the Fall interfered. Kevin Steen & El Generico made the save for Necro.
8. Kevin Steen & El Generico defeated Jay & Mark Briscoe to retain the ROH World Tag Team Titles.
9. After the show Erick Stevens was attacked in the lobby of the building by Davey Richards, Go Shiozaki, Eddie Edwards, & Shane Hagadorn.

First thing I've noticed is more DQ's than when Gabe booked.  Also looks like ROH have introduced the count out rule (which they didn't have before).

From the looks of the shows it appears they're continuing most of the big angles that Gabe was booking.  My hope is they really now pull the trigger on a full on Nigel vs Dragon feud.  Nigel has now defended the World Title 28 times and is ten defences away from Danielson's title defence record.

If they play that into the feud it'll be sweet!

It also looks like they're blooding some new talent onto the roster like Kenny King and Kenny Omega, along with continuing to build Rhett Titus.  They need to keep building these guys and not use the ROH students as filler as they were doing before.

Here's hoping Pearce is able to build some new feuds, I think we need a heel turn for a few characters (The Briscoes spring to mind) and new feuds for Jacobs, Aries and others.

Peace
