ROH Respect Is Earned II
Roderick Strong vs. Erick Stevens - ****1/4
I've seen these two go to chopsville so many times, but i STILL flinch for every single one of them...f'n insane...this was war.
Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black vs. Bryan Danielson and Austin Aries - ****1/2
Everything was done great. The brawl at the start, Tyler and Dragon trying to reason with their teammates, Aries and Jacobs trying to get to each other all the time, and the finish was brilliant.
I'd say Nigel - Go just about edges **** too - wouldn't disagree with the 3+3/4s i'm seeing though.
Nigel is just awesome at playing off the crowd.
EDIT:
Line of the Night:
Kevin Steen (to El Generico): "Do something flippy!!!"

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
AOTF vs. Danielson and Aries **** 1/4
Strong vs. Stevens ****
I enjoyed both, really good to watch but I give the tag match a higher rating because it just appealled to me more. More like my kind of wrestling, plus I am an open Danielson fan.

I'm not saying I hate them for it or anything, but that they were sloppy should factor into a rating of quality, no?
I actually really like both, especially Gerard.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I never said about hating anyone...
Though, I have personal issues with Vin. He's making moves on my lady.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
ROH Return Engagement
MCMG vs Briscoes ****1/2
Ibushi vs Generico ****1/2 Apparently I'm just getting suckered into Ibushi's moves because I'm not that familiar with them, but I fucking loved this match.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I finally got around to watching Shinobu/Teioh vs Madoka/Mashimo (not sure on the pronunciation)
**** 3/4+
Great storytelling, great angle going in with Shinobu going for Teioh's approval, and amazing match. Better than the 1/2 Sekimoto/Sasaki vs Sasaki/Miyamoto match.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Since I am an utter Teioh mark, I need to get onto that ASAP.
I take it you found the wonders of that awesome Puro site?
