They were last year. So I doubt it has changed.

I rewatched it and couldn't believe how much I overreated it.

Rock N Roll Express vs Midnight Express 5/11/84 This is a non title match. The 1st match between the 2 legendary teams in Houston. This is coming off the huge match between Midnight Express vs Bill Watts and Stagger Lee that drew a 102,000 house. Here they drew a 60,000 house which is around 8,000 people. This match was awesome and deserving of their legend of the teams. The crowd is super hot. Both teams get incredible reactions just by high fiving their partners. A lot of wrestlers in today's era would pay their salary to get a reaction like that. The 1st few minutes is both teams playing to the crowd. Establishing a dynamic with them. Taking their time. We see both Gibson and Morton do rope running spots by using a headlock and hair pull. I'm a sucker for that spot. In a rope running spot Eaton nails Morton in the back with the racquet to set up the heat. What a heat segment it is. Condrey stomps the back and follows up with posting his back. Eaton sledgehammers the back and follows up with a back breaker. The back work goes on with quick tags. This is all awesome stuff. They toss Morton over the top rope. They distract the ref and toss him over the other side of the ring. Not to dismiss him, but Cornette is working hard here. On the floor Eaton nails Morton with a chair. In ring Eaton nails a nasty power slam. Morton getting close to the tag. Eaton runs across the ring and nails Gibson before he can make the tag. Gibson has had enough and runs over and hip tosses Morton to his side. I hate that spot but the crowd ate it up. Gibson is in and on fire. Eaton pulls the rope again and Gibson bumps to the floor. It looks like Gibson is going to play FIP too, but it's all a miss direction. In a nice payback Morton trips up one of the MX which allows Gibson to score the pin. The heels try to convince the ref that the Rock n Roll used a chain, but it's a lie. The crowd calls them out on their bull shit. Great match and hopefully we have more to come of this feud 4 1/4*

Awesome. They headlined the 5/11/84 show that drew a 60,000 dollar house. This should be incredible.

I thought Dick Murdoch had the best singles Afa match I've seen. This is up there though, It was fun to see Bob play Southern Baby face and just sell his ass for Afa.

Bob Backlund vs Afa 5/20/83 We have seen this match up a few times on Titans. I liked this much more than those. Backlund sold his ass off here. He did everything to get over Afa's terrible nerve holds. Now Bob vs Bock I can get behind. We also get some promos, and Bock was great. 2*

Magnum TA vs Wrestling 3 5/11/84 This was a really good match that was part of a card that drew a 60,000 dollar house. Which for Sam Houston Colliseum was a near sell out. 9,000 people was a sell out. I liked TA working over Wrestling 3's arm. He would work spots around the arm. I loved TA's big wind up punches to the arm. Wrestling 3 was great at feeding TA and taking bumps for him. Wrestling 3 nailed a knee lift to stop TA dead in his tracks. TA made his comeback really quick. I was shocked about that. Though it did set up Wrestling's 2 interference. TA is great at selling his ass off here and getting sympathy from the crowd. TA bleeding added to the drama. The screw job finish was spot on for this match. I wonder if Wrestling 2 helped call the match from ringside like Ivan did in some of the best of 7. I also thought the time they allotted these guys was perfect to have a real fun barn burner. 3*

I think what they're trying to do is have the ANX be the 1st victim of War Machine. Saving a Briscoes -War Machine match for down the line. Their is only so much time they have to push ANX as the team that never lost the belts. Briscoes and Young Bucks are near bullet proof and can heat them up pretty quickly.

I thought this was a great ppv. I thought this was Jay Lethal's best match. Cole and O'Reilly had one hell of a match. I loved the finish to it. I mean their was no bad matches on the card. For ROH's Wrestlemania they hit a home run.

No, but if someone wants to put it in order I'll add to by keeping it in date order.

I think live she works really hard at ringside , that doesn't come across on tv.
