And Sephy, if you're implying that Backlund for ROH champ is random crap.... then fuck off

Joke, hooking me up with Danielson/Black means I can't shoot you by default.

i was just pointing out that a MOD was going off the beaten path in this topic.

...and I'll be honest, if Backlund as ROH champ means he'll randomly come to the ring and give people chickenwings, i'm all for it.

From now on Sephy you need to get what you post cleared, so PM everything you plan to post to Watts63 and wait till he gives you permission to speak your mind.

Bob Backlund is in fact too awesome and that is all.

I finally got around to watching the Roderick Strong vs. Erick Stevens - FIP - Redefined match that people have been talking so much about. Excellent match. A bit too long for my liking, exemplified by the fact that when the count out was going on I actually wanted Erick to get counted out because I just wanted it to end, and going into the match I wanted Erick to win. If the match had hit 5th gear toward the end then it could have kept my attention longer but every time there was a burst it would then slow right back down. Also it lacked a really good submission struggle. The Boston Crab was the closest, but Erick got to the ropes too soon and the second time he "almost tapped" was cheesy because he was right next to the ropes. I thoroughly enjoyed the technical stuff at the beginning. The chop-fests were brutally stiff, as expected (though that doesn't do as much for me as some other people). I actually enjoyed the ending a lot. I thought it was a good way for Roderick to get a heel victory and keep Erick looking strong. I wasn't too much into the belt shot on Erick. I understand the story and it was good, but what it did was slow the match down right about the time I wanted it to pick up tempo. These are just nitpicks more than actual complaints. Overall a really excellent match. Probably the 3rd or 4th most enjoyable match I've seen this year. Final score ****1/4 - ****1/2

i think The Flair Michaels match has been grosley overrated by yourself.

im adding Nigel McGuinness vs Austin Aries from ROH Supercard Of Honor to the list. Nearly perfect.

If you think that's overrating the Flair/HBK match, check this thread around the time of WM. You'll have a heart attack

Agreed on the Nigel/Aries match, obviously.
