They are cool, but if you just rely on them you would be unhealthy, and the matches would be unwatchable. Technical mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them all, but some of it can be sweet chain wrestling. Last but not least (well maybe) is spots and random indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can not just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get **** and above.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I watched the ROH Dragon Gate Six MAn From Super Card Of Honor. I say ****1/4-****1/2. Overall I would say that I enjoyed the ****1/4 Briscoe match more.
I feel that this years match had no psychology besides the psychology of everyone destroying my boy Yoshino, which was not cool.
Also, the Doi 555 is a super dumb move, esspecially from the top rope when Dragon Kid pretty much takes it wrong and then no sells. Like seriously I think the move would work if people would take it and not just land on their knees.

The reason so many love this is underkill, which is to say they take the weapons and such and make less of them mean more.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Current MOTY so far:
ROH Supercard of Honor 3: Austin Aries vs Nigel McGuinness - ****3/4.
Gonna give it a rewatch tomorrow (as that rating is kinda loose), as well as watch the DG 6 man

I'm 1/4* lower due to a less than super-hot finish, but it's likely my MOTY so far as well.
