Written by Stevie J

Here's what's on tap for ROH on HDNet tonight!

* Austin Aries vs. winner of Lucky Lottery #2
* Necro Butcher vs. Bison Smith
* Tyler Black vs. Rhett Titus
* Chris Hero vs. KENTA

It's time for the A-Double, L-Double - the Austin Aries Lucky Lottery! Kyle Durden holds out the hat, A-Double fills it with slips of paper, shakes it up and pulls out.. "Well this guy definitely has his share of fans, and he's got some of the sweetest feet in this business.. the lucky winner is 'Sugarfoot' Alex Payne!"

* Austin Aries {C} v. 'Sugarfoot' Alex Payne (ROH World Title Match)

So how long will it take the vascular vegetarian to decompose his foe? The two exchange a handshake and circle - Austin's bedazzled rainbow trunks versus the plain gray of Sugarfoot. Prazak insincerely puts this match over as a contest you will never forget, and Hog says they won't remember it in a week. Aries and Sugarfoot exchange holds before A Double bowls him over with a shoulder tackle. Sugarfoot responds with two arm drags and AA hits a headlock takeover, springs to his feet and dropkicks Sugar in the face. A boot stomp follows. "Jerry Lynn wasn't this giving of a champion when he held the world title" sayeth Prazak. "At least he gave somebody a chance worthy of holding it" replies Hog. AA misses with the swinging elbow drop. Sugarfoot fires off punches to a series of boos - well this taping clearly isn't in Chicago. They're pro Aries and anti Payne, in fact every single move Payne hits draws a boo. The crowd pops for the brainbuster, then laughs when he pulls Payne up at 2 only to put him in the Last Chancery for the tap. WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: AUSTIN ARIES.

Aries' refuses to let go and Danielson charges the ring. "That is two times in a row, that whole draw you did is a shame! That is not the elite, that is not the best. If you want the best, why don't you defend it against the best right now!" Danielson rips off his shirt and the crowd chants BEST IN THE WORLD. "They chant for the best, but the best has the belt to back it up, and I don't see anything around your waist. I'm sick of these people declaring you the best, so maybe I'll step in the ring and shut your mouth." He steps through the ropes. "Just not tonight!" He steps right back out and heads to the back.

* Bison Smith (w/ The Embassy) v. Necro Butcher

Bison comes out first with his whole clique. Necro comes out with his friends - a staple gun and a steel chair. Bison quickly overpowers Butcher and runs him from pillar to post, then fires a kick to his back for good measure. As we get a good luck at Bison's black trunks with the Japanese and American flags, Prazak puts over his world travel credentials. Bison throws him into the barricade on the outside, then drives a chair into his throat on the apron. Necro rolls back in and Bison follows. Necro starts a comeback with chops and punches followed by a boot to the throat and a facewash, made more nasty by virtue of Necro wrestling in his bare feet! Bison finally gets control back and turns Necro around face first into the turnbuckle, where Bison pummels his back. When the ref pulls Bison away to warn him about his tactics, Prince Nana gets in a few cheapshots. Necro turns the tables, sends Bison out, then does the ugliest backflip off the apron possible into him. Necro pulls the apron out about five feet and dumps Bison over it, gets a chair from the crowd, and then the two charge each other with them for a fight. The ref has been counting this whole time so we get a DOUBLE COUNTOUT DRAW.

Necro and Bison brawl their way through the crowd and a series of wrestlers and officials come out from the back to break it up. Prazak notes they should never bother to set up a ring in a Necro match, it never says there. Necro launches a trash can missile at Bison's head which connects, then nearly slips on a chair as he comes back over the barricade. Officials try to keep them apart as the crowd chants LET THEM FIGHT before Bison Smith clocks him in the head UNPROTECTED. Necro recovers seconds later and the fight begins anew! Necro gets back in the ring, Bison is forced to go to the back, and the fans throw garbage into the ring.. are they mad at Necro? Well they were cheering for AA earlier so this is not your typical Ring of Honor crowd.

* Rhett Titus v. Tyler Black

It is amazing how they always find one girl to play along with the 'Addicted to Love' gimmick, including a cute asian girl this week. They must be crowd plants. Somebody threw in a black streamer for Tyler Black, which the ref clears out of the ring when Titus cheapshots Black during the Code of Honor handshake. Titus is all over him like flies on shit. Black finally gets back in it with a high back bodydrop, a footstomp to the throat and a two count. Black gets to the ropes for a springboard and Titus gives him a dropkick to the floor to prevent it, then spears him into the barricade. Titus throws Black back in for a two count, he goes for a double axe which is blocked, but throws him into the turnbuckle and follows with a clothesline for 2.8. Black hits a neckbreaker which seems to hurt him just as much. He hits a series of clotheslines after getting to his feet, takes Titus high in the air for a slam, misses a flip in the corner, connects with a boot to the back of the head, the finally hits his springboard off the ropes for 2. Buckle Bomb is blocked twice and Titus hits a boot to the face. Black bridges a pin for 2. Titus goes for a kick, Black catches the leg and mocks the hip gyrations of Titus. Titus pokes the eyes and gets a near fall. Black hits a pele kick and God's Last Gift for three! WINNER: TYLER BLACK. Jerry Lynn comes out from the back to congratulate him at the top of the ramp. We get a teaser for Lynn v. Kenny King and a title match between Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson NEXT WEEK.

* ROH on HDNET Main Event: Chris Hero (w/ Hagadorn & Del Rey) v. KENTA

Chris of course comes out to his custom theme song Chris is Awesome by Viro the Virus, and Prazak puts over the close personal relationship Hero had with Mitsuharu Misawa before the match begins. Hero and KENTA fight to a standoff early. Prazak also reminds us this is the first time we've seen them one on one instead of in tag teams. Hero is getting the crowd pops early. The ref calls for a clean break, and Hero backs away just far enough for a chop. The two start decking each other with chops, KENTA gets the better of it, then delivers a series of stiff kicks to Hero's chest. Hero fishhooks him and goes to the ropes, but when Hero charges KENTA delivers a knee. Boot to the back of the head, scoop slam and more kicks! Two elbows to the abdomen and a two count. KENTA scissors the abs but Hero gets a boot on the ropes for the break, then gets a boot and gets thrown shoulder first into the turnbuckle. KENTA is selling the left shoulder and arm, and Hero aims his kicks to that side. Half the crowd chants WE WANT ED-DIE and the other half chants SHUT THE FUCK UP. Hagadorn complains to the ref that his counts are slow. KENTA and Hero spill outside and start brawling on what little black mats are there. KENTA tries to whip him into the barricade, Hero jumps to the top and comes back off on attack! KENTA is dropped gut first on the apron and thrown back in as Todd Sinclair makes the count. Hero covers for 2.

Hero wrings the arm behind KENTA and some people scream GIVE UP KENTA which of course he doesn't do. Prazak wryly notes that Hero does have fans chanting CHRIS IS AWESOME tonight (maybe Viro the Virus is among them). Prazak and Hog argue about whether or not Hero's elbow pad is loaded, and Hog says they have video proof. Hero keeps pulling KENTA up to knock him down, then when he doesn't get up Hero slaps him around a bit. Dragon sleeper is applied! KENTA tries and tries and finally gets his boot on the ropes for the escape. KENTA finally fires up for a comeback, hits a boot to the head, and covers Hero for 2.5. KENTA goes top rope for a flying clothesline for 2.9. Prazak reminds us KENTA is the inventor of Go 2 Sleep. Hero gets countered into the STF, Hero gets to the ropes for the clean break though with a little help from Del Rey on the outside pushing the ropes towards him. Hero slams him for 2.9 as Hagadorn mocks the ref: "ONE, TWO THREE REF, YOU SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS?"

Hero connects with an elbow to the head at the 8:50 EST mark and this one may be just about over. Hero tries to come off the second rope, nearly puts himself in the Go 2 Sleep, counters his way out of it but a simultaneous strike in the corner leaves both men down. Dueling LET'S GO HERO and LET'S GO KENTA chants. Hero and Kenta trade running boots all the way across the ring until KENTA hits two in a row and a missile dropkick, and the crowd is on their feet! Fisherman buster connects, KENTA comes off the top with a double stomp and Hero kicks out at 2.999! KENTA pulls him up for strikes and kicks then gets another near fall. KENTA signals for Go 2 Sleep, Team Hero offers distractions to save him, Hero hits the roaring elbow and KENTA KICKS OUT!! The crowd chants THIS IS AWESOME and pounds the barricades. Hero tries for a Go 2 Sleep, KENTA counters it, Hero hits another roaring elbow, KENTA KICKS OUT AGAIN. Hero puts on the loaded Misawa elbow pad as Hagadorn distracts the ref, but before Hero can kick it KINGSTON HITS THE APRON AND STEALS IT FROM HERO. KENTA picks Hero up for GO 2 SLEEP and connects! WINNER: KENTA.

Kingston smiles smugly as he walks up the apron with the elbow pad. Both men are down in the ring, absolutely exhausted, as the crowd chants THAT WAS AWESOME and I have to agree - one of the best TV matches I've seen all year and there's little doubt nothing on Raw tonight will top it. Hagadorn and Del Rey help Hero to the back as HDNet goes off the air. See you back here next week!
