No fuckin' doubt!Fact: Andy and I have the best avatar/sig combo.
By the way, so far the 16 Carat Gold tournament has been kick ass.
Glad to hear that you were impressed with the show.ROH: Supercard of Honor III
I have seen the odd ROH match before, but this was my first full event. I'm not going to write a full review for the event like I normally do in the WWE DVD Thread, but I will talk about a few things.
Go Shiozaki Vs Delirious - **3/4
LMFAO at Delirious.
Bushwhacker Luke, Dingo & Payne Vs The YRR - *
Firstly, why the hell was Bushwhacker Luke on the card? Urgh, just urgh. Speaking of urgh, who the hell was commentating on that match? It was awful, that's all I know lol.
Roderick Strong Vs Erick Stevens - ***
I had looked up some other ratings for the event after I finished watching the show, and it seems I have rated some matches lower than everyone else. One in particular is this match. I didn't see anything that great about it, and the fact the ref was beat up and the match never actually ended despite about 15 more minutes of fighting didn't do much for me. At least 'Taker/Triple H had a finish...
Jay & Mark Briscoe Vs Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black - ***1/2
I hated the first part of this match, where they spend about 10 minutes fighting in the crowd. When they got back into the ring though, it picked up and I got into the match. The ending was great too! Shame the first half of the match brought down my overall enjoyment of the match.
BxB Hulk & Shingo Vs El Generico & Kevin Steen - ****1/4
Finally, a match that lives up to the hype! The match was just so energetic and was non stop action. So many great moves, and so many near falls from some great moves. I really enjoyed this match!
Nigel McGuiness Vs Austin Aries - ****1/2
Bloody hell, McGuiness looks different from when I last saw him (its been a long time though lol). Either that, or I am thinking of someone completely different . I loved this match. No more needs to be said.
CIMA, Dragon Kid and Ryo Saito Vs Genki Horiguchi, Masato Yoshino, & Naruki Doi - ****1/2
A very long match, but absolutely amazing. I don't really know what else to day lol.
Well, for my first ROH show, I was pretty impressed. A little disappointed with a couple of matches that have been rated much higher by a lot of people, but oh well. The last 3 matches were amazing, and I think I am a McGuiness fan now!
I think I will have to check out some more ROH stuff, and especially some more McGuiness stuff!
From what i've heard we're the minority, but i prefer the Rising Above match too.Did you guys prefer the Supercard of Honor III or Rising Above match from Aires and McGuiness?
