I agree with this. Very different match from their other ones, but not in a bad way. |

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
ROH 6th Anniversary
Aries - Go Shiozaki - ****1/4-1/2
Nigel - Danielson - ****1/2
FIP match may also just about make it at 4*
Very fun show overall btw.
Aries and Go did a terrific job. Loved the early bits with Aries avoiding the chops like hell.
Nigel and Danielson are pretty much incapable of having a bad match with each other...Nigel as a full blown heel is terrific.
They hated him so much, that if Danielson won the match it'd probably cause a riot.
Not my favourite of their matches (by quite a margin) and not MOTY as far as i'm concerned, but still a great match.
Also, Strong pretty much killing Necro twice was quite the spectacle...

I was watching that with some (non-wrestling fan) friends and we were laughing like Hell at the finish there. Good times.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Got around to watching Shingo/BxB Hulk vs KENTA/Ishimori for the second time today.
Definetly a candidate imo, great matchup with four of Japans best Junior Heavyweights. More depth then you would expect with 2 big time flyers in there, some amazing powerhouse stuff from KENTA and Shingo aswell.
****1/4

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Dragon Gate Challenge II
El Generico and Kevin Steen vs. Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino ****1/2
Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black vs. SHINGO and BxB Hulk ****
Both were great tag matches, with the Steenerico match slightly outshining the other match. My current favorite tag of the year.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
ROH Dragon Gate Challenge II
Steenerico vs. Doi/Yoshino - ****1/2
Hulk/Shingo vs. Jimmy/Black - ****-****1/4
No Remorse vs. Stevens/Go/CIMA - just makes ****
Another very strong and very fun show.
Steen and Generico put on one hell of a show with Speed Muscle.
Tyler Black is very impressive.
Main Event was a bit inconsistent, with some very good bits but also some pretty average stuff.
On to SOH III....

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Just saw the Whitmer/Jacobs "I Quit" match, pretty brutal stuff for sure.
I would say **** or so on first viewing, that double spike sequence was intense stuff.
