Hidden Gems of Honor: DEADLINE 10/28

[Reaper G]

Kings of Wrestling vs. Up in Smoke (Buffalo Stampede II, 6/18/10)

A largely throwaway show, but Hero and Castagnoli made two mid-carders at best look like they could pull off the big upset. That's what great champions do.

I could not agree more strongly about great champions.

(Kings vs Cheech/Cloudy is a good call for a hidden gem as well!)

We did a whole episode on Buffalo Stampede II available in the archives at anhonorablemention.wixsite.com/main

That was also the day Trent Acid passed away.


We've pushed this episode back a week as we drop a bomb with a special guest this week, Chaos at the Cow Palace next week and Hidden Gems the first week of November.

10/28 is the deadline to get your name dropped on the show!

I’m not really sure how to order many of these, as the culture of the fandom has changed and it seems easier for great matches to get lost in the shuffle or fade from memory, even if they were the main event of a show. Perhaps that is why most of these are from Sinclair Era.

Honorable Mentions:
Brent Albright vs. D'Lo Brown- ROH TV 2009- I remember being shocked at how great this was.
Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin vs. American Wolves- ROH Tag Team Turmoil 2011
Jay Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong- ROH Only the Strong Survive
Davey Richards vs. Chris Hero- ROH Only the Strong Survive
WGTT vs. Kings of Wrestling- ROH Honor Takes Center Stage: Chapter 1
Davey Richards vs. Rocky Romero- ROH Dedicated




5. Jimmy Jacobs vs. Austin Aries- ROH Vendetta II

ACH/Lethal time limit draw on tv is one I'm thinking about this morning, lol. Already posted it in this thread earlier. But that match was so good and I desperately wanted to see them have that one on PPV. Then ACH had flight issues, if I recall correctly.

ACH getting at Lethal this morning on twitter (tweet now deleted) but I think ACH missed that flight before his push started being killed off in ROH
