Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I thought that was a great way to end the match given it was Strong himself who instituted that rule in the first place when he first won the title. It also showed that Strong wasn't sure he had what it takes to beat Stevens one on one, great heel psychology.

I'm thinking about that too.
There's some stuff from Japan that may beat it, but indy-wise, i think it may have it up to now...

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Are you talking about the match in WXW? I only gave that ****1/4. The crowd was the best I have ever seen and the commentary was ledgendary, but the match was not as good as other indy stuff this year. Definatly the best Hero match this year though.

A good wrestling match is like a balenced diet. Basic moves are carbs, they keep you going. It may not be your favorite part, arm drags and such, but they're key to your substance. Dairy is charisma and crowd interaction, like with bones, it strengthens the match. Meat is big moves like powerbombs and finishers. 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.
MOTY-KENTA vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima ****1/2 (Kensuke Office)

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I'm so fucking behind on 2008 shit. With that said, I don't know if I'll enjoy anything as much as Nigel/Tyler from... whatever ROH PPV that was. I tried to catch up on 2008 ROH last week, but I already had enough after watching Davey/Kota. Still haven't seen Strong/Stevens from Redefined. Or any puro past March. Or Michaels/Jericho from Judgment Day.

that's the one.
have it at 4+1/2. Other non-Japan indy stuff at 4+1/2 are (and yes, i do keep a list):
Austin Aries vs. Nigel McGuinness (ROH Rising Above) ****1/2
Austin Aries vs. Nigel McGuinness (ROH Supercard of Honor III) ****1/2
Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Shingo Takagi and BxB Hulk (ROH Supercard of Honor III) ****1/2
Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino (ROH DG Challenge II) ****1/2
Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black (ROH Respect is Earned II) ****1/2
Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black (ROH Take No Prisoners) ****1/2
Nigel McGuiness vs. Bryan Danielson (ROH World Title) (ROH 6th Anniversary Show) ****1/2
...i just realised there's an awful lot of singles Nigel in there...
i think on second/third watch one of the Aries matches may drop it, but i can't be sure
for the record:
WWE - Flair/Michaels
TNA - Cage/Angle (Against all Odds) (haven't seen Angle/AJ yet)

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I'm on the same boat as Andy, my wrestling watching has been on a large slump since the start of 08.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I missed that Puro tag with the guys I don't know everyone's creamed over but so far it's a three horse race:
Taker vs. Edge HIAC
Hero vs. Danielson WXW
and Nigel vs. Aries SCOH 3

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
^Are you talking about Teioh and Shinobu vs Mashimo and Madoka? If so, look on the Great Man's site.
By the way:
No Rope, Barbed Wire and Barbed Wire Boards Deathmatch
MASADA, Numazawa, and Kasai vs Ito, WX, and Kobayashi
