Clayton Jones Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Great episode! I would definitely call 2006 the creamy middle of material for this podcast even if 2004 is my personal favorite. I'll have to get some live thoughts sent in for Hell Freezes Over, I wanted to for Final Battle but you guys are pumping them out so damn fast these days. I might have some more (admittedly minor) details to help Matt on his Drano Angle Investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbes Posted July 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 ThROH The Years is finally ready to cover the weirdest show in ROH history, Unscripted II. A series of fallings out and a snowstorm ravage a card and open the door for one final CM Punk match.

Plus we talk about an important evolution for Nigel McGuinness, heckling fans, bad pancakes, do snow angels make you a pussy, and Trevor makes Matt uncomfortable by proposing a Cream Scale. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/episodes/8f3111a8-d15c-444d-b54e-12edfb1e5b8d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted July 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Tonight the boys review one of the better ROH shows they've covered in quite some time, the Fourth Anniversary Show. Two or three very different great matches, the return of the Briscoes, the farewell for two others, a great chapter of the CZW feud, and Jack Evans takes one of the scariest bumps in history. Plus we talk about who people resemble in a segment that I have no idea how harshly Matt will edit.

hhhisthegame Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 It's been ages since I've commented but I've been still watching ROH shows along with the calendar year, and listening to your podcast after each one, and it's still one of my favorite podcasts. Of course now I'm in summer 2005, and they've moved up to four shows a month and I'm not sure if I can keep up the pace....It'll be very sad when I catch up to you guys and can't listen after each show. Watching ROH for the first time, I'm loving finally seeing the Summer of Punk. It's awesome and such a good angle. I'm from Long Island and wish I had gone to Sign of Dishonor and Escape from New York, though I was only 13 at the time and didn't yet go to indy wrestling shows. As a note, on one of the shows recently (or recently when you guys were up to summer 2005), Matt claimed we haven't had the first "This is Awesome" chant in ROH yet. I'm pretty sure we HAD already had it inside the four corners match at Sign of Dishonor, after all the dive spots mid-match. I remember being disappointed hearing it because it's my least favorite chant and Long Island was the first crowd to bring it outside of TNA lol. It makes sense though, since that crowd seemed really into guys like AJ Styles. One of the biggest revelations for me watching these shows is how much I LOVED jack Evans in late 2004 and 2005. He does all the crazy moves but he also has the personality he never turns off which makes him so fun to watch. I can't wait until he comes back. Another point, Trevor, I was SO happy to hear how much you liked the Nigel vs Colt match at Escape From New York because I ALSO loved that match and thought it might have been my favorite of the night too. And I ALSO was disappointed seeing how many people didn't like it. I just thought it was so fun how they played with the rules and it felt like a trickster battle, which was really fun to watch. I just found it really engaging, so there's at least two of us. I really like Colt Cabana though, and Nigel too. Colt's one of my favorites in ROH watching this, I also loved his pure title match with Joe. I tend to like the guys who add the personality to their already solid wrestling. (To that note, the one guy I'm not loving as much as you guys and others do is Roderick Strong. I LIKE him, and enjoyed some of his matches with Shelley, Punk, and AJ in particular so far, but his look, personality, even his name is just a bit too bland for me, compared to guys like Punk, Styles, Joe, Low Ki, Homicide, etc. It seems he's going to get a big push the rest of the year so I'll see if he wins me over. I'm not as high on Gibson as most either, even though he's technically very good he leaves me feeling a bit cold. I love Punk, Joe, Evans, Danielson, Cabana.) By this point in 2005, Homicide seems like the guy who's been such an important player for so long he's really overdue a championship run. I know he gets one eventually, but he's been on what feels like every show for three years always as a solid performer. I'm listening to the Homecoming review now and shocked to hear that Gibson already is going back to WWE. I know he beats Punk but have no idea why they would give it to a guy on the way out instead of Christopher Daniels, who IMO should have had the ROH belt WAY earlier than he did. But I don't know how long his ROH run will last for I suppose. I really don't know why Azriel is the special K member who's getting....not a push per se, but whatever attention he's being given. Others impress me more, even Dixie has shone more in his brief chances. I feel like sometimes ROH tries to push people but it's odd how little they win. I was baffled when Gibson took the pin at Homecoming to Homicide in the 6-man. I'm not sure if you guys will cover this, but I know Gibson is the next champ, and looking at his W/L record, it's awful. He's literally lost his last SEVEN matches, albeit many of them four-ways. Homecoming, Fate of an Angel, Escape From New York, Sign of Dishonor, Death Before Dishonor, Future Is Now, and New Frontiers. Roderick Strong is another one they're pushing hard but he seems to rarely win, and mostly against lower carders. I've heard you guys say how many of the old ROH mid-card mainstays are on their way out and I have to say it makes me pretty sad. Dunn and Marcos, Carnage Crew, Special K...Special K was honestly one of my favorite parts of 2003 ,sloppy as they were, they were so fun to watch. I'm honestly happy Carnage Crew got a thank-you run. Though I sort of wish Dunn and Marcos had got the chance too, despite their limited ring-work. Even if they had beat Carnage Crew, and lost it the next week to stabilize the belts again. Finally, I'm also watching TNA 2005 (and skimming WWE) at the same time and it's fun to see the crossovers. I have to say, going to TNA in some ways may have been the best thing for Joe as a performer. I don't know what it is but he just seems like a monster there in a way he doesn't in ROH, and I can see his improvements as a performer in mid-2005. The commentary actually does a great job putting him over. Mike Tenay was raving about how he's only lost one singles match in three years (which surprised me until I recently realized that isn't true, he's lost to Aries twice at least. I don't know if he has any other losses in there). The same weekend as Fate of an Angel he had an awesome match with Chris Sabin at No Surrender 2005 and it was fun seeing them work matches even more around him being a monster than he does in ROH, due to ROH's style. I believe he'll elevate his game even more by the fall as he starts getting to face AJ and Daniels. (On a side note, Daniels has been X-division champ for a while, since March 2005 I believe, and it's interesting they've never had him really mention that in ROH) Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, but thanks again for the awesome podcast, it makes watching ROH twice as fun to hear you guys dissect it after, and it's especially fun seeing all these shows for the first time. The summer 2005 has been especially exciting, and 2005 in general has been pretty great. I'll miss Gabe on commentary though, I always have found Prazak to be my least favorite commentator, and while Gabe was not good, he was always funny to listen to because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhhisthegame Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Haven't seen the ROH shows from August 12 and 13 2005 yet so I'm not sure if you guys covered this on the podcast, but I'm currently watching Sacrifice 2005, the TNA Show that took place on August 14, and it's a really ROH heavy card! Featuring AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe in the X-cup finals, and Christopher Daniels vs Austin Aries in a non-title X-division match (Aries won an internet poll to get to come in for the match. The other choices in the poll? Roderick Strong, Jay Lethal, and Matt Sydal) Alex Shelley is on the card as well in action against Shocker (Shelley has made sporadic appearances for a while but now is the first time he seems to be getting significant weekly ring-time). I noticed Shelley doing the diamond pose he's been doing with the Embassy. It's interesting how interconnected TNA and ROH are becoming again in this time period. Edit: Having finished the TNA show, WOW AJ vs Joe was amazing on this show! You don't see anything like that anymore. AJ might not be amazing on every ROH show since the matches tend to be more nuanced but in TNA when he can go full out with action it can be amazing, and that brings some of the best out of Joe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted August 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 hhhisthegame thanks for the great responses. You liking the Euro rules match and not thinking Gabe is as bad on commentary as even Gabe thinks means YOU ARE ONE OF US AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. But seriously, never apologize for writing too much, this was all great and appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted August 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 ThROH The Years continues through the Milestone Series covering Best in the World. Is it the best show ROH has done yet? Possibly! Headlined by two great tag matches, we talk about the promo that saved Jimmy Jacobs' career, odd humming, and a lot more. SPOILER WARNING: We ruin the ending of 1999 Best Picture winner American Beauty. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/episodes/1a79f602-cbe0-479e-89b8-256100e8f759 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 ThROH The Years begins ROH's first triple shot with triple voices. That's right, first time guest Chad Campbell @bigboysplaywcw joins us to run down Dragon Gate Challenge. It's a show that ends the Christopher Daniels/Samoa Joe feud...kinda. It also is in some ways the birth of Dragon Gate's US influence, but most of all it's remembered as the night BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs almost died. It all turns out fun, at least on this episode! https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/episodes/a0ea167c-dca2-4676-8086-3d9d4209c13f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
