I like that Elgin vs. Lynn idea a lot actually. Getting a win over a former ROH champ is a logical move.

What exactly is ROH's identity supposed to be in 2012 actually? I saw that argument almost VERBATIM elsewhere less than 24 hours ago. Strange.

From what I've seen, only counting the calendar year: WWE CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan - Raw 1/30 **** Triple H vs. Undertaker - WM28 ****1/2 CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho - WM28 **** The Rock vs. John Cena - WM28 **** Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan - Extreme Rules ****1/4 John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar - Extreme Rul...

It's still in a slump. I feel that Finlay is in a key position at BITW - that match with Elgin MUST be a MOTYC to continue Elgin's momentum so that the fans have a name to get behind. Finlay needs to be utilized to get main event talent over HUGE. Don't waste him in 10 minute matches that mean nothi...

I'd be somewhat interested in a Fit Finlay vs. Jerry Lynn match, not sure if that's ever happened before. That'd be a hell of an opponent to go out with. Lynn deserves at least one more match in ROH before he retires. Unlike WGTT, he can actually still go in the ring and puts on decent to great perf...

And the full archive is posted - looking forward to any discussion or questions you guys may have on the past eras of the company.

Do or Die - May 31, 2003 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8612/28135471364_a8020f16b5_m.jpg Tom Carter vs. Matt Stryker This one definitely hasn't aged that impressively, although I appreciated the effort in it. Full disclosure before I get to the critiquing: this and the match against Doug Williams ...

The Epic Encounter - April 12, 2003 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8888/28135471434_8242eb774d_b.jpg Tag Titles Match AJ Styles & Amazing Red vs. Briscoe Bros. An improvement over their Night of Champions "effort," but still dripping with flaws. A huge problem with selling in this one...

Expect the Unexpected - March 15, 2003 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8705/28135471594_7441402811_c.jpg Raven vs. CM Punk A good match but went too long just to establish that Raven "still had it." Also sloppy at points too. The beginning of Punk's ROH push though, and the rest is history...
