Notes:
-The venue is apparently PACKED.
-The opener was said to be fun and a high-energy affair.
-Hero is now calling himself the "Knock Out Kid" and his match with Delirious was described as hard hitting, yet sort've stinky match. Hero looked off, apparently.
-The crowd was chanting "Player One" at Eddie Edwards, most likely due to his lack of gimmick/personality. Edwards won when Hero interfered and knocked out Strong, leading to a quebrada for the victory. The match was said to have been pretty good.
-Adam Pearce cut a promo, bringing out Brent Albright and starting their match. The crowd reportedly isn't too into it with lots of chants for Bobby Dempsey. As the match goes on, the crowd gets more into it. Albright was busted open and at one point, Sweeney tried to interfere with a steel chair but Roderick Strong ran out and kicked it into his face. Pearce put Albright in an STFU and got a ton of heat. Albright at one point locked in the Crowbar, but Pearce made the ropes. Albright tried something off the top rope but was shoved by Pearce, sending him crashing through the ringside table. The match is turning into a GREAT one with the crowd now fully into it. Albright eventually locks in the Crowbar one more time and Pearce submits for the title change. The match was said to have been great with the crowd exploding for the finish.
-Jacobs and Necro came to the ring together and shook hands prompting a "BFF" chant from the crowd leading to the two hugging. At one point in the match, Necro went for a pin which Jimmy broke up and then he berated Necro and told him to do what he says. Necro eventually has enough of Jacobs, hits him with a chair and leaves the match leading to Aries hitting Jimmy with the 450 for the win.
-ROH returns to New York City on December 27th for Final Battle 2008.
-Back from intermission with Delirious calling Daizee Haze to the ring to ask her out on a date. This brings out Rhett Titus, who calls her used goods, and then in the greatest ****ing thing I've ever heard, takes off his pants to reveal new tights, with DAIZEE'S FACE ON THE BACK, Rick Rude-style. Delirious ran him off, but Haze turned him down on his date offer and then was turned on by the crowd for telling him no.
-The NOAH offer match was said to have started slow but picked up late in the bout.
-The semi-main event was reportedly a great match with a bunch of high flying moves performed.
-In the main event, Danielson eliminated Claudio, who then proceeded to turn heel by attacking Danielson and allowing him to be quickly eliminated by McGuinness.
