Just didn't completely blow me away like a *****match should.

For the first time in a month or so I got around to watching some current stuff.

16 Carat Gold
Bryan Danielson vs. Mike Quackenbush WXW 3/7 ****
Bryan Danielson vs. Naomichi Marufuji WXW 3/8 ***3/4
Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero WXW 3/9 ****1/2
Now #2 in my MOTY. Very close to ****3/4.

Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong FIP 2/16 ****1/2

The Murder City Machine Gunns vs. The Briscoes ROH 4/19 ****1/2
The Murder City Machine Gunns vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black ROH 4/18 ****1/2
I like the Briscoes tag a tad more. I originally liked the AOTF match more but the overkill at the end kinda took it down a peg.

Top 5 looks like this
Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness ROH 2/23 ****3/4
Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero WXW 3/9 ****1/2
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels WWE 3/30 ****1/2
The Murder City Machine Gunns vs. The Briscoes ROH 4/19 ****1/2
Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong FIP 2/16 ****1/2

Still need to watch the 2 Take No Prisoners matches and the 2 Black-Dragon matches.

GHC Jr. Tag title match

KENTA & Taiji Ishimori(c) vs. Eddie Edwards & Bryan Danielson

Solid match for these 2 teams. It was the first time these teams ever faced each other, but they had pretty good chemistry. I loved the part where Edwards oversold KENTA's clothesline, and landed right on his head when he did. See kids, you don't always have to sell a clothesline like it kills you.

Pacing was solid through the match, there were some points where it really seemed like Edwards and Danielson would win. Finish saw Eddie taking a Go 2 Sleep like a champ, right on the chin.

rating: ****-****1/4

Live impressions obviously don't corrolate to actual ratings, but if I'd definitely suggest watching these five when the Toronto DVD comes out.

Erick Stevens vs. Go Shiozaki
Bryan Danielson vs. Claudio Castagnoli
Roderick Strong vs. Naomichi Marufuji
Nigel vs. Kevin Steen
Aries/Jay Briscoe vs. Jacobs/Black

I'm a little late but I finally got around to Take No Prisoners.

Austin Aries vs. Bryan Danielson ROH 3/16 ****1/2

I'm suprised no one on here like this match as much as I did. I loved all the little counters that only these guys would no about each other. I also loved when Aries took off his elbow pad for the Roarin Elbow and Danielson just jumped at the opportunity to work the arm. I think this may the best match I've ever seen these two have. This sits at #8 in my MOTY list currently.

Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black ROH 3/16 ****1/2

I didn't think there was any way that this could live up to the hype or even surpass the match above it, but boy was I wrong. Even knowing the outcome I still could feel a title change in the works. I've only really felt that way about 2 matches (Joe-Punk II and Dragon-Shima MMII). Only Dragon-Nigel 6YA and Dragon-Hero WXW were better to me so far this year.

Kobashi/KENTA vs Nakashima/K. Sasaki 6/19

**** 1/4

Extra 1/2 star for some lighttubes Dele?

I have that match at the same, KENTA taking swipes at Kenskay was great fun.

Only if it has Kasai jumping off a balcony. I have no clue why no one is drooling all over Kasai's return match. It was awesome.

You do realize there was a link to watch the match in high quality right below the video right?
