Yeah, that was King. The play by play was Ben Jordan & Kingston held down the color role.

Cool, thought so. I thought he was pretty good as well, just for the record.

Kingston is a bit of a gamble. Some times he rocks, some times he gets a bit annoying.

ROH 6th Yr Anniversary Nigel vs Dragon ****1/2
Match told a fantastic story with Danielson not going for the head as promised and Nigel turning it on him and attacking the head. The crowd was amazing, and both performers were great as usual. Not as great as Unified or Driven, but my runer-up for MOTY so far behind Flair/Michaels.

Just ordered that show a little earlier, peep. Definitely looking forward to that and the Aries/Go match.

Aries/Go is awesome ****1/4 from me. The FIP title match is **** as well. Great show.

The entire 6th Year show interests me quite a bit, to be honest. I ordered 3 shows today, and I had no doubt which ones before I even hit the website - 6th Anniversary, DGC II and SCoH III. Now I only have to wait a week til' they get here...

Anyway, just watched:

Kenta Kobashi, KENTA & Tamon Honda v Yoshihiro Takayama, Takuma Sano & Atsushi Aoki (NOAH, 3/2/08)

This was... disappointing, to be honest. I may have just been expecting too much after the magnificent 2/21 6-man, but this seemed flat compared to it. Aoki seemed to be going the dickhead Marufuji route, digging at Kobashi like a pain in the ass, but Maru just did it so much... better really, that the crowd were kinda meh to the whole deal.

The Kobashi/Tak interactions were really good as always, and the match certainly wasn't bad or anything, but for most of it I found myself wanting KENTA/Tak interactions (which were awesome in this, by the way), and like a spoiled child, I sort of lost interest until I got what I wanted.

The last 5 minutes or so were really hot though and that drew me in a little more, but at that point I was too busy thinking ahead to the 4/27 rematch with Go on Takayama's team to be really interested in the hot finish. Still, despite all my lapses in concentration, I still found this to be very good - great even - but the 2/21 effort pretty much blew it out the water. ***3/4

That's my order too, but i'm not doing it until after exams, for obvious reasons...

**-Blaskohiro Tenryu-** · 05-13-2008, 06:44 PM

I'm thinking...

Supercard of Honor III
DGC II
6YA
Plus, I'm pretty sure the Ballroom show will be out once I make this order...

B3G1F.

Yeah, that's probably the best idea, Punk lol. I should probably have followed that philosophy last year. Although I just seemed to wing everything anyway

I don't start college again until August so watching DVDs at work is my day mostly (I'm a lifeguard, btw, so ROH may not be so good if someone happens to be drowning).

I was actually tempted to use the B1G1F sale the last time, Blasko, but I really haven't been interested in ROH this year for the most part, and the 'Mania weekend wasn't released at that ponint anyway. 20% off was OK though.
