ROH + SICW

ROH TV

-Commentators:  Kevin Kelly & Nigel McGuinness.
-This episode featured highlights of the Border Wars iPPV, including Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas regaining the Tag Team Titles from the Briscoe Brothers in a Fight Without Honor(after Haas choked out Mark Briscoe with an ether-soaked rag).
-Rough few weeks for Davey Richards heading into Border Wars...auto accident, Kyle O'Reilly not in attendance due to a death in his family, Jim Cornette not in attendance due to problems at the border.  In other words, Davey won't have anyone watching his back during the main event.
-Kevin Steen(w/ Jimmy Jacobs) d. Davey Richards to win the Heavyweight Title; the piledriver was legal for the match.  Steve Corino sat with the commentary team but didn't say a word.  The turning point of the match came when Richards had Steen in the anklelock and Steen hung onto the turnbuckles in an attempt to escape, pulling the middle pad off the bolt.  Steen kicked Richards away, causing him to hit his head on the exposed steel...he followed up with a sleeper into a German suplex, then the package piledriver to win the match.  Promoter Cary Silkin refused to present the belt to the champion(as he's always done in the past) and Corino entered the ring to confront Steen...only to embrace the new titleholder.
