ROH World Title Match: Nigel McGuinness v Bryan Danielson (6th Anniversary Show)
I loved this big time! Nigel is fuckign awesome as a heel and the way he makes Danielson promise not to go for the head (liked the spot where Dragon could've elbowed the shit out of Nigel, but opted against it), only to use his head as a weapon to fuck up Dragon's eye was pretty great. I also liked how Danielson would try and put Nigel away with various submissions so he didn't need to go after the head. I still prefer HBK/Flair, but this is easily one of the best matches I've seen this year. I thought after seeing Aries/Go and loving it so much that this one wouldn't top it, but after one watch I think it might have. I'll watch it again anyway, but either way, this was fantastic. ****1/2
Also thought Roderick/Stevens/Necro from the same show was pretty great as well. About **** for a rating, but it was just super fun all the way. I thought Strong was actually going to hit a Tiger Driver '91 at the end (both times), but I'm pretty sure he just couldn't get Necro up for a regular Gibson Driver.
