Nigel McGuinness vs. Roderick Strong - ROH World Title ****
Overall: 3 ****+ matches and Castognoli/Generico are reason enought ot get this show. Think from what I've seen I enjoyed it a bit more than other people. Aside from the two Hangm3n singles matches the whole show is really fun and a good watch.
Really enjoying the current FIP product just finished In Full Force and Southern Justice, watching Hot Summer Nights tonight. ATM I'm finding them easier to watch than ROH maybe it's the fact they're aimed at a more family based audience so they don't take themselves as seriously.
Yeah, I get what you're saying though. As much as I love ROH, I haven't been able to watch a show this year all the way through but have for every FIP release this year. The shows as a whole just flow better because there are many cases where match 3 will come from the aftermath of match 2. I think you get what I'm saying.
I'm still debating whether to get the three latest now or wait for a bigger sale.

I alone rape your opinion, bitch. Not a huge fan of Mitsy/Kobashi. Really, really good (****1/4-ish if I'm tossin' ninja stars), but it's one of my least favourite between the 2. Seemed like a glorified spot-fest for the most part, although I can totally see the upsides and why others would see it differently.
I prefer Kobashi/Akiyama from the 04 Dome show, but even then, I don't see the '5 stars' thing. Austin/Trips had pretty much everything I enjoy in wrestling.
NOAH Shiny Navigation '08
Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Kota Ibushi & Katsuhiko Nakajima ****
Well, when you've got these four and 15+ minutes, you know there's something pretty good comin'. Pretty great match, full of near-falls, Briscoes 'badassness', Nakajima's kickness and Kota's awesomeness to compliment it all.
Finally got to see NJPW Dec 14th 2000: Toshiaki Kawada & Masanobu Fuchi vs. Yuji Nagata & Takashi Iizuka. I can die happy now knowing i've witnessed one of the finest matches ever
Is this a case of ROH fans giving a 3 star match over 4 because they don't how to rate/it was uber fun live or is it a genuine ****1/2 star match? I highly doubt it since i watched Kawada & Fuchi vs Nagata and Iizuka (fromm 2000) before and thats a legendary match and got ****1/2
Anyway ROH stars don't mean much, as they are always very varied.

Anyways, I can't see how that match can be over *** with Pearce in it. Especially after he put on, imo, one of the worst matches of 2008 so far against Nigel.
I remember someone telling me that Joe vs. Homicide in New Jersey was at least an automatic ** or *** (something like that) just because it's an ROH title match. Maybe something like it gets an extra *.
I'm highly intrigued by this match because I too dislike Pearce and find it nearly impossible that the man can have a four star match, let alone a four in a half star one.
Ya man, I mean there the ones with the sales figures but I feel like COD is one of those matches people will ALWAYS want to see.
