[2003-11-29-ROH-War of the Wire] Homicide vs Steve Corino

[ShittyLittleBoots]

It's a No Ropes Barbed Wire match to end this feud. When you talk about pure nastiness & sheer violence, this probably ups their previous match. There's some stuff here that's legitimately pretty hard to watch, and I mean that in the best way possible. I don't think it's as good overall as that said Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies match-up of theirs though, but it's not far off. One slight negative that bothered me was Homicide going for multiple flash roll-ups in the beginning; it didn't fit the match, and it ESPECIALLY didn't fit Homicide of all people at all. Other than that, this was him & Corino doing pro-wrestling grudge match violence brilliantly, once again. ****1/4

God, the selling in this sucked. So many pop up transitions from both guys when they were meant to be dead. The commentary was unbearable. Some shrill geek screaming cliches the entire time. I'm not predisposed towards liking this type of match, but I thought Homicide and Corino would do better. They should have spent more time watching FMW tapes beforehand.
