ROH: Fight @ the Roxbury

1. Brent Albright vs. BJ Whitmer - ** (pretty boring match)

2. Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Rave - ***1/4 (Good stuff, I like the new Dragon)

3. Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen - *** (Good match/brawl, I couldn't get into it much though)

4. Nigel McGuinness vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Hero vs. Mike Quackenbush - **** (MOTN and awesome match, got lots of time and didn't feel random like some other 4CS's do)

5. Eddie Edwards vs. Pelle Primeau - ** (Solid little match here)

6. Matt Sydal vs. El Generico - ***3/4 (Really fun match. The crowd were awesome here, too)

7. Delirous, Matt Cross, & Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, & Rocky Romero (Six Man Tag Team War) - *** (Good 6 man but didn't feel as heated as it should have been)

8. Takeshi Morishima vs. Jay Briscoe (ROH World Title Match) - ***1/2 (The Shima defences are getting really repitive, with not only the same pace/format but same spots being replayed. This match was pretty good anyway, Jay got some hot nearfalls)

Overall show thoughts: This show was very solid. Nothing was horrible and most matches were good. Nothing stands out very much (although the 4CS was awesome), the show was just good overall. Good show, but not great.

Overall show score: 7/10.

I'll buy this from IVP for Christmas. I always buy good-but not must have shows that take place around now (August - October) for Christmas.

Just ordered the Juniors cup thingy McQueen posted about. I ordered it because I mark hard for Sasuke, and McQueen's ratings were so damn high.

re: Mochi vs. Koji, it's real good, but way too exhibition-y. 5 minutes on I remembered nothing but the finish really. It has it's exvciting moments, but it's mainly a lotta kick, kick, standoff, etc and I just can't get into that.On the other end...*** for Mark-Steen??? That match was great. SO heated, SUCH a great story, never dragged, I loved it. I'd go ****, maybe ****1/4.

Thanks for the Koji/Mochi info.

Yeah, that rating (****_****1/4) for Mark/Steen is fine. I'm really not a fan of Steen, brawls and I couldn't really get into it. I'll probably give it higher on a re-watch.

MrPaiMei · 08-04-2007, 12:05 PM

Cool. Be absolutly sure to see the Triangle Gate from World though. It's the opposite of Mochi-Koji where it coulda been a bunch of highspots and stuff but they told a great story, with great hate from both sides and New Hazard being the younger team trying to make their name on their predesecors (Shingo is Doi, Kong is Kishiwada, and Hulk is Yoshino).

**ROH** · 08-04-2007, 01:05 PM

^ Awesome. I've been starting to get into Doi and Yoshino way more now, Cyber Kong is pretty awesome, and Shingo is Shingo.

UWA vs Toryumon Night 2:

Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley vs Ultimo Dragon and Okada - **** (Awesome match, would have gotten alot higher if there was more Ultimo)

That match is up in the media section (thanks mikeie) if anyone wants to DL it.

I thinking it'll be atleast another week or so before I get my order, damn Royal Mail with their postal strikes.

You'd be surprised ROH shipped my order Tuesday and it arrived today, 2 parcels shipped in the UK the same day are nowhere to be seen.
