Update: it ruled a lot! Athena/Thunder exceeded all my expectations, Lee Moriarty feels like that next technical darling of the biz, fuck Sons of Texas, THAT WOMENS FOUR WAY! THAT GODDAMNED MAIN EVENT! ROH just always delivers on huge shows, my issue continues to be this "brand" deserves more eyes on it than Honor Club can offer them.

This felt like a great sprint of a match but not even in the sense that it's all gas, no brakes. It was like a nice little preview of what they'd end up doing in longer form later down the road, and at the end of the day this is still Perfect getting that initial big push so he had to go over Bret. I watched this thinking "what IF this initial attempt at a Bret singles run had gone on in 89?" Amazing finish with the roll through holding tights, really solid atmosphere and any Schiavone WWF stuff is a gem in my eyes.

I really dug how this thing starts with a fuckin' all out brawl, no illusions that there's gonna be order. Eddie already had strong presence even though he's clearly the greenest of this match. I hadn't seen enough Mando before this but I was blown away by the just total piece of shit heel work he could do all the while being very capable athletically. That little drop down into a lariat is dope and something modern tags could learn from. It's all about El Hijo del Santo being picked apart and Blue Demon Jr. being a stupid twat about it. In all seriousness, this ruled in every way! The redemption of the technicos is just masterful here, del Santo gives me all the goods I ask of him since he's just about the coolest luchador I've seen so far. Lame as hell finish but I'd imagine it was to protect the technicos.

Yeah I gave NXT a try this week and just can't understand how they think her first major thing on TV is...tagging with Grace? I'm sure it's leading to her big full heel turn on her and a title angle but I don't give a fuck also?

Wrestling Playlists brought me here and I'll be frank, I started the Yearbooks section of the database and this video pounced onto me like it's a Monty Brown TNA squash. The horrid Madness inspired dancing in the streets, the awful lip-syncing, and then the actual wrestling bits would strobe in and I suddenly am very excited for come Catch! Seeing baby Owen was heartwarming. As previously mentioned, Akira losing his mind in the back is just amazing. Otto was a visionary, of what I'm not sure.

Totally agree this ruled and felt like the highest of stakes, something that IWGP Women's title has struggled with in the past.

You guys killed it as always!

Same here Johnny is just super chill and hilarious. Too often, I feel like people take wrestling WAY too seriously and he's always there to bring things back down to the silliness of it all. Also, I can confirm that as a male adult my friends are indeed stupid motherfucking cocksuckers but they're cool! -
These shows make my Mondays awesome. You guys continue to make me laugh, look up random shit, and clamor for more.

Taz in WWF. For a guy that was such an interesting character and top guy in ECW, he just never worked in WWF.

Of course Vince has warped into George Steinbrenner circa 1996-end of his life. Someone who still shows the qualities and actions that made his despicable, but beloved and untouchable by the fanbase due to product on the field (Attitude Era, mainstream cred, etc). And Triple H is untouchable because he is the NXT figurehead. Trips would have to turn heel on NXT to get back any genuine crowd heel heat. My friend and I have been joking that Vince is hitting the "self-destruct" button on any chance of WWE becoming huge again because he's old and realizes sooner than later he'll be gone and doesn't want the company to thrive after him. I think while that's obviously an exaggeration, if you look at creative it may be true. Lately they've been fantastic but as most of us that have been around a decent amount of time know, that can change in a second.

I couldn't disagree more actually. For once this felt like it meant something and I was very impressed with the staging of the match. It didn't feel like a four way clusterfuck as much as it felt like a battle that each man was fighting towards becoming the champion. I loved the hot start with Owens being taken out of the equation for a while and Miz was just fantastic with his character work. I felt like the match was really solid and a low end MOTY for me. I get your criticisms though, a lot of the finish segment was congested and felt really overdone but so much more of the match worked for me.

Couldn't have said it better and I actually had this thing at 4 myself but I totally get giving it a smidgen more. Just great work on the mat and high drama where it needed to be.

It is incredible how quick and enjoyable these shows are. Despite having heavy amounts of things to cover, you guys always deliver with the good shit.

I managed to finish the whole archived shows during the GWE madness so when this popped up, I was beyond pleased. Johnny Sorrow for life!
