I just can't see Haku making my list . A guy who had a lot of spurts that were fun.Just not consistent enough between the ropes for me

For ROH they really need to push things on their tv that they do better than WWE. 1. ROH runs the best houseshows .They should have clips of fans and interviews post houseshow to play on their tv. 2. ROH has the best tag division in all of wrestling. Have a yearly tournament for the tv. 3. Push the between the ropes product. Our World Champion and #1 contender went an hour w/o a stupid Iron man gimmick. We wrestle in ROH. 4.Move Kevin Kelly into a backstage reporter role. 5. Find an announcer who more fits the ROH style. Hell Alan 4L was great calling WXW. 6. Explain to Corino what they want out of him in his role, if he doesn't get it make him a manager. 7. They do stress wins and losses. Keep it up. 8. Allow more interviews to the guys who can talk. Allow wrestlers to talk people into the building. 9. ROH is able to take their time and make the angles more special. Keep that up, but they must have a payoff. 10.Do profile pieces on the wrestlers or key feuds monthly. Who wouldn't want to see a Dalton Castle profile piece.

Thoughts on Kevin Von Erich vs Chris Adams here. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31712-kevin-von-erich-vs-chris-adams-11885/

This was my favorite feud as a kid in the 80's. When Adams sided with Gary Hart and Gino it crushed me. Both of these guys were ahead of the curve of working a real athletic style. Add in the hate and it was an awesome feud. This was short but sweet. You could tell how much both guys hated one another. The chair shot near fall was great. Kevin V.E as a wrestler you believed in him. 3*

Thoughts on BJ Haynes vs Kamala here.http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31711-billy-jack-haynes-vs-kamala-122784/

Billy is a type of worker that Kamala could have a good match with. I loved the early brawling. I even liked Kamala's nerve hold.for the 1st 2 minutes at least. This is where Billy sold it wonderfully. I loved him balling his fist trying to get the nerves going in his arm.We get a comeb*.ck that is short lived. Then to a fun finish. I enjoyed aspects of the match, and want to see a rematch. 2 1/4.*.

Some thoughts on the Fabs/Guerreros Texas Tornado cage match here.http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31709-fabulous-ones-vs-guerreros-22886/

This is in a cage and is under Texas Tornado rules. This was a total fight. Both teams bleed in a fun spirited brawl. We start with a good heat segment by the Fabs. Just beating on the Guerreros. They finally make a comeback. Which gets cut off by the Fabs. We get a little misdirection which results with the Guerreros delivering a Spike Pile Driver. I enjoyed this a good bit. 3 1/2*

Thoughts on Brad Armstrong vs Ernie Ladd here.http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31707-ernie-ladd-vs-brad-armstrong-122784/

This was fun for what it was. Ladd is a smart worker still. Brad was good showing fire underneath. The crowd was hot for Brad's comeback. Just too short. 2 1/4*

One thing about NXT specials they're really only 2 hours which would make me choose ROH. Good show guys.

So I ended up with 16 four * matches or better during the G1. My top 5 . 1. Styles vs Tanahashi 4 3/4* Night 17 2.Shibata vs Ibushi 4 3/4* Night 7 3. Tanahashi vs Shibata 4 1/2* Night 13 4. Styles vs Ibushi 4 1/4* Night 5 5. Tanahashi vs Nakamura 4 1/4* Finals

Michael Elgin vs YOSHI-HASHI Elgin opens up with some power moves. You can see his confidence growing in each match. Elgin is in control early. Yoshi-Hashi makes a comeback. Elgin's power moves are pretty awesome. The Sumo Hall crowd is treating Elgin like a Doc or Norton. Elgin on this tour has established himself. He seemed to really evolve as wrestler. I'm glad he proved me wrong. 3 1/4* CHAOS (Kazushi Sakuraba, Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano) vs. BULLET CLUB (Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga & Yujiro Takahashi) I thought this was terrible. 1/2 Hirooki Goto, Katsuyori Shibata & Kota Ibushi def. Tetsuya Naito, Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma I enjoyed this a lot. Naito has gotten a ton of mileage during the G1. 3 1/4* Tenyru/Okada angle reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly) vs The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson The hot potato belts are here. Early shine by reDragon. Dug the Young Bucks mocking pose by RD. Bucks get the heat going. Fish going at it alone since Hall ran to the back with Kyle. Kyle is back to get a hot tag. Loved Fish's diving headbutt to cause Kyle to get the arm bar. This was pretty good. Everyone worked hard. I just hated the Hall taking O'Reilly to the back spot to set up the heat. 3 1/2* KUSHIDA vs Ricochet I'm a fan of both guys. I like Kushida catching him with a drop kick for being overly flashy. Kushida going after the arm is all good with me. Holy crap, Ricochet almost cripples himself. Kushida was an inch from cracking his skull on his flip dive. Loving Kushida going back to the arm. Kushida can get an arm bar out of nowhere. The Nomo forearm was perfectly timed. I'm loving the prevailing story of Kushida going after the arm throughout. I'm digging this. I like how Kushida is telling a story, yet letting Ricochet still look like a million bucks throughout.Give credit to Ricochet for switching to his good arm to raise Kushida's hand in victory. 4* AJ Styles, Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson vs Matt Taven & Michael Bennett & Kazuchika Okada Gallows throwing hands. Taven is FIP. The BC do a good job working him over. That was a funny comedy spot with Anderson/AJ and Maria dancing. Plus it wasn't over kill. The Kingdom work over Anderson. Okada's roll through into Red Ink was tight. Bennett throws a terrible punch. As an all action sprint with some fun character added this was a blast.It had a hybird feel to it. Styles and Okada crossing up the finishers was really well done. 3 1/2* Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Shinsuke Nakamura This match up was my MOTY last year. Chono is out, crowd goes nuts for Muto. Doing stuff like that makes me love NJPW. Bringing out the vets and giving them respect makes the finals mean 8 billion times more important. I like Tanahashi going after the arm right off the bat. Slow build here. Tanahashi on the leg to a call back. The call backs are great. The table setting to the build is awesome. They might have taken a little too much time in the build. The match suffers by the length, plus at times it feels bloated. Still a really strong match. 4 1/4* That was hilarious how Tanahashi's flag pole broke during his celebration. It must have been the moment the world found out about Dylan winning the VOW G1 poll.

I'm a DWB fan so I do hope he makes my list . Threw a great punch, he had great timing . He could be a heel or a face. He could be a single or tag worker . He was fluid on the card. Awesome at getting angles over.

I think the Hart Foundation are a weird team. They are good, but about as formula as it gets. As faces Bret's sternum bump set up the heat. As heels Bret's sternum bump set up the come back. I've seen them have really good matches with Bulldogs, Killer Bees, Demolition. I've also seen them have boring matches with the same teams. I have watched a lot of Hart Foundation matches . Tons of house show footage along with ppv's.

G1 Finals Opens with a Delirious promo. ROH coming to Japan in 2016. I guess it will be similar to the CMLL tour. David Finlay, Mascara Dorada & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Jushin Thunder Liger, Sho Tanaka & Yohei Komatsu This is a super fun all action opener. Everything looks good. A good way to kick off a show. 3* TenKoji (Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima) & Captain New Japan vs. Jay White, Manabu Nakanishi & Yuji Nagata This is another solid 6 man that gets people on the card- 2 1/2*

Night 18 Takahashi vs Honma A fun little bout where Takahashi's girl is over more in my living room than Takahashi. Though the loss by Honma was a why moment. 2 3/4* Ishii vs Elgin A battle to start. It had the 2 toughest guys in the yard vibe to it. Watching Elgin man handle Ishii is great, and allows Ishii to do something he's pretty good at and sell. Elgin had me grasp at his stiff as hell clothesline followed by a Blackhole Slam. The Buckle Bomb into the guard rail was sick shit. I loved this match 4* Goto vs Nagata Some crisp mat wrestling to start. Goto kicked the floating rib injury. I'm liking the story of working Nagata's injury. Even Nagata's own kicks hurt the rib. Nagata winning was a feel good moment. 3 1/2* Anderson vs Kojima This has a lot of energy right off the bat. Anderson starts a heat segment right at Jump Street. Kojima mounts a comeback. It's short lived while Anderson exerts his dominance. Kojima turns the tide again with a DDT on the apron. Chop exchange on the floor. Thought Anderson would have enough sense to sell the DDT. The finishing run was fun enough. 2 3/4* Okada vs Nakamura How fast the teasing of finishers was early on was ridiculous. We getting a feeling out process on the mat. Okada drop kick on the floor, followed by his draping DDT. Spinning neck breaker. Typical Okada game plan of working the neck. Okada lifting Nakamura moves. Again Okada staying on the neck. Nakamura attempts a comeback. Now Nak's comeback is aimed at Okada's neck. Okada, cuts him off. Nakamura turns the tables. Okada counters with Red Ink. Nakamura counters with a run of offense. We are getting a back and forth run to the stretch. Both guys laying it on the line. Loved the drama of the finish. 4 1/4*

Yes, but i's a big time VQ upgrade.

Bruce welcome to the board. This is Pete from Titans of Wrestling. I've really enjoyed the interviews we've done. As a moderator here if you need any help from the board when it comes to dates of matches or anything in general. Just give us a holler. Their are some of the best historians and hardcore wrestling fans in the world who post here.

What is the rhyme and reason for the uploads. My guess would be you have a number of reels converted thus you rotate picking matches on the reels converted until all the matches on the reel are uploaded.

Congrats buddy, your cred has never been higher. This just proves your higher understanding of NJPW's booking. Lol

I'll look when I get home.

A really good friend of Johnny's.

The variety of this stuff is nuts.

Night 17 Shibata vs Gallows A fun little match. 2 3/4* Fale vs Yano Loved the finish. 1/2* Naito vs Tenzan Loved Naito's work on top softening the neck. They need for him to win with his submission because he's getting no response. Overall a tad long, but good. 3* Ibushi vs Makabe Ibushi working a smart match here. Working over Makabe's limb is smart. It's taped up from the Tanahashi match. This has been pretty good. Loved Ibushi's counter of the top rope German. Ibushi with kicks. 3 1/4* Styles vs Tanahashi Both guys are really making the holds matter. Tanahashi looks to be going after the back, though now it looks like the leg. AJ selling the leg pretty damn good. AJ just constantly shaking the leg out. Nice payback and AJ begins working a leg. Both guys throwing out big moves. Tanahashi back to the leg. This has the Rocky Feel to it. Calf Slicer by AJ. Loved AJ's counter into an ankle lock. Tanahashi back to the leg. The finish stretch here is epic. Loved the counter to the Pele' kick. It's a shame the High Fly Flow is a terrible finisher . Man this was an epic encounter. A few small things bothered me, but pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of an epic match. My new favorite match of the G1 4 3/4*
