ROH Final Battle 2005 (December 17 2005) Recall's Review.

At this point in the world of ROH they had Bryan Danielson as their world champion having dethroned James Gibson. The idea of more international talent appearing on the shows started to become a major factor too with big stars and internet fan favourites making their presence known and standing toe...

Re: Official War of the Worlds/Global Wars 2015 Super Thread

DO you see limb work as a requirement for a match being good? No but you gotta fucking build up your momentum first. The obsession with indies to make a single match one entire finishing stretch that lasts 20 minutes rather than working up to it and having it mean something is awful. Why can't they...

ROH War of the Worlds 2015 (May 12 2015) Quick Review

I’m late to the party as I haven’t watched any modern ROH in years as the last thing I saw was the excellent Final Battle 2010. This is not going to feature much in the way of overly detailed thoughts but I wanted to at least share my star ratings for each match as I watch the event. ROH War of the ...

Re: The WWE Thread

I feel Joe should actually be doing the rear naked choke again as his finish. It fits his submission persona especially that highlighted by his sold out t-shirt and its a move than can be done on anyone with a minimum of risk and if its used like it was in ROH, once he locks it in, the match is done.

Re: Project Rewatch - ROH: The Good Shit

Now this is a great thread and that is some real dedication going through all the shows in order. 2003 remains one of my favourite ROH years as it was still about the indy dream match concept and it always delivered. Have you found any new appreciation for a year or found you didn't like a year as m...

Re: ROH The Future is Now (June 12 2005). Recall's Review.

Your reviews have become exceptional. Ever consider going chronologically like I've been doing? Thanks very much for the kind words :) I really don't have time to watch much wrestling anymore with plenty of personal commitments to adhere to but I've seen so many of the more well known shows so many...

We get these WB News highlights throughout the DVD and they are pretty bad but any...

Re: ROH Matches that you feel are overrated

Too many to list. The indy style of doing moves back and forth on each other with no real match structure made for fun exciting matches the first time you watch them but they lack any coherent story and even basic fundamentals that on repeat viewings the flashy spectacle no longer hides the match fl...

Non legal pins in tag matches and ladder matches where the aim seems to be less about trying to win and more about doing flips for flips sake.

Re: An Open Letter to ROH Fans from TNA Mecca

Fuck Vince Russo. Fuck backward ill thought out booked wrestling. Fuck promotions who lack their own identity.

Be it TNA, a random indy or a major promotion the above still applies.

Re: ROH's production values

ROH's production values have been shit since 2004 the moment they stepped away from using the house lights. They don't know how to light a show and they struggle with making sure the white balance of the cameras are right. Passable always seems enough for most people but personally it just looks lik...

Re: Lucha Underground thread

So I finally caught the cage match and I think its a serious 4 star match. Just all-round excellence and they actually used the cage to the fullest and it made sense for the story, it wasn't just a random match that happened in a cage.

Re: ROH to Celebrate 13th Anniversary in LAS VEGAS!

Main Event was overbooked but people are overreacting to much, the PPV was great you don´t need 30 minutes matches for the sake of having 30 matches and more time is not equal better match, Bucks vs ReDRagon was under 20 minutes and was the ROH MOTY last year. Matt Sydal vs Cedric Alexander: ***1/2...
