Ring of Honor Wrestling Presented
Boiling Point from the Providence Civic Center on August 11th 2012.
The main event of this show was headlined by Kevin Steen against
Eddie Kingston for the Ring of Honor Championship. The Wrestling
Emporium has the rundown and results of this IPPV event right now.
Ring of Honor Wrestling Boiling
Point Recap and Results.
Kevin Kelly and
Nigel McGuinness as always are your commentators for Ring of Honor.
Roderick Strong took on Mike Mondo
in the opening match.
Boiling Point
kicked off with a solid opening match. Granted, a lot of the stiff
strikes throughout this match tended to be a bit much, but overall, a
good opening match. Roderick pulled out the NO Lock at one point. Of
course, Daniel Bryan would still be more over than this entire
roster. Strong hit his Fireman's Carry Gutbuster to score the pin.
Roderick Strong pinned Mike Mondo
with the Fireman's Carry Gutbuster.
Next, we have a
four way match for a contract.
Antonio Thomas, Matt Taven, QT
Marshall, and Vinny Marselgia battled for a Ring of Honor Contract.
For four relative
unknowns, they actually engaged the crowd and put on a good match.
Okay, Thomas was in WWE, but who remembers that? Of course, four
guys in the preliminary match doing all kinds of insane spots kind of
really put a bad taste in my mouth, but that's ROH for you. I think
we all know what this promotion is by now. Marshall got the pin and
the contract with a running neckbreaker.
QT Marshall defeated Matt Taven,
Antonio Thomas, and Vinny Marselgia to earn a ROH contract.
We are ready for
the Proving Grounds Match. Brutal Bob Evans took on Adam Cole
previously on Ring of Honor Wrestling.
Ring of Honor Television Champion
Adam Cole took on Brutal Bob Evans in the Proving Grounds Match.
This match did not
need ten minutes at all. Match dragged and the crowd seemed to hate a
lot of it. Evans got superkicked in the knee and put in the figure
four leglock for the submission.
Adam Cole made Brutal Bob Evans
submit to the Figure Four Leglock.
Mike Bennett came
out with Maria. Bennett attacked Adam Cole. If they actually would
put the Ring of Honor Television Championship on Mike Bennett, I
would care more about this. Sara Del Rey and Eddie Edwards rushed out
and made the save.
Charlie Haas took on Michael Elgin
with Truth Martini.
Elgin
has had some good performances in the past, and Haas when he can be
bothered is decent. These two men did not click in any way
whatsoever. Boiling Point really is one of the poorer efforts with
matches like this. Then again, this seemed like a throw away show.
Roderick Strong walked out and spit beer in Elgin's eyes. Haas
managed a roll up. That finish seemed very Vince Russo to me. Ring of
Honor is dragging this break up storyline between Elgin and Strong
out for too long.

with a Roll Up after Strong spit beer in his eyes.
The Briscoe
Brothers against Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino are next.
The Briscoe Brothers faced off
against Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino.
The Briscoes bring
the entertainment as always but too many moves. Corino and Jacobs are
a good team all things considered. Tag team action was good, ROH
still has that going for them. Doomsday Device by the Briscoe
Brothers picked up the win here at Boiling Point.
The Briscoe Brothers scored the win
over Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino.
Best Two Out of
Three Falls Match between Tommaso Ciampa and Jay Lethal was next.
Here's another feud that's dragged on a bit too long. I'm all for
long drawn out feuds, but there are times where people overdo it.
Jay Lethal faced off against Tommaso
Ciampa in a Best Two Out of Three Falls Match.
Cornette booked
this one, as Lethal gets a lightning fast first pinfall in under two
minutes with the Lethal Injection. Another case is shown of too many
moves. Lethal fights the Project Ciampa a few times but Ciampa pulled
it out to even up the score. Prince Nana is out and attacked RD
Evans. Actually, there's a match I might be interesting in seeing.
Ciampa beat up Nana and Lethal pulled out a flipping Diamond Cutter
for the pin.
Jay Lethal pinned Tommaso Ciampa two
falls to one in a Best Two Out of Three Falls Match.
Sara Del Rey's
last match before WWE is up next. Del Rey teamed up with Eddie
Edwards against Maria and Mike Bennett.
Sara Del Rey and Eddie Edwards faced
Maria and Mike Bennett in a Mixed Tag Team Match.
This mixed tag was
the best match of the evening so far at Boiling Point. Mixed Tags are
rather hard to do. Maria has improved a lot and worked hard, so good
for her. I'm sure people will want to bash her for being just another
WWE Diva, but she seemed to actually want to better herself. Plus she
did not have the attitude issues the rest of the Playboy models did.
Del Rey locked on
an Ankle Lock but Maria slipped out. Then Del Rey slipped Maria out
of her top, underneath the ring. Well, it's not like there are not
pictures out there. Eddie Edwards locked Mike Bennett right in the
Ankle Lock and tapped him out.

defeated Maria and Mike Bennett in a Mixed Tag Team Match.
The fans pay
respect to Del Rey. ROH fan's being respectful, well good for them!
Bennett covers up Maria. Some people are likely inspired to head to
Google image search.
Kevin Steen defended the Ring of
Honor Championship against Eddie Kingston.
Our main event
right here tonight at Boiling Point and I enjoyed a lot of it but
overbooking much. Steen was good in previous matches and was good,
but as always, Ring of Honor took things a few steps too far. Lots of
interference and run ins mucked up this match. Kingston was good as
well. F6 on the chair connected but Kingston kicked out. Another F6
and Steen picked up the win.
Kevin Steen defeated Eddie Kingston
to retain the Ring of Honor Championship.
Kevin Steen beat
up a plant. Next Pay Per View, Steen should pull a Snitsky and punt a
baby doll into the crowd or better yet, kick a puppy. He's a heel,
boo him people!
Boiling Point was
one of the more lackluster efforts and Ring of Honor continued to
spiral off of the rails. Final Battle 2012 might be the final battle
but we shall see. Mixed tag team match was the best of the night.
