Strong happens to get the BEST match out of Marafuji and yet doesn't get no love? I've lost faith in people.....

Adam Pearce vs. Brent Albright for the NWA World Title at Death Before Dishonor - ****3/4
How these two have such great chemistry is out of this world insane and Strong turning into Stone Cold sold me on this match. I hope this doesn't get overlooked.

Strong's boot to Sweeney was a thing of beauty.

It was their third counter, but yet they always work a very different match. I felt Danielson wasted a bit of time working the shoulder, but it didn't took a lot out of the match. When they got to 6th gear, we got the awesomeness I expected. Nigel's commentary added a lot to the match, and the spots were really sick. Also, the turnbuckle stuff (not sure if it was worked or not), took a great tolll on the match, since it didn't allowed Black to nail the Phoenix Splash, a important move he used to defeat Dragon at the last PPV. Everthing made perfect sense, and if Black wasn't really solidified as a big star of ROH, well, this match pretty sums it up.

Better than their Breakout's match?

Glazer better step up and tell me which Black/Dragon match was best.

Yes, IMO, because in that match, Danielson went from mocking Black in the early going, to desperate to win it (so much that he won with an small package).
In this one, they already knew what to expect from the other, so they had an strategy, which led to a better conclusion, at least in my view.

My ranking to their series:
New Horizons - ****1/2
Southern Navigation - ****1/4
Breakout - ****-****1/4

Breakout - ****
Southern Navigation - **** (better)
New Horizons - Considering how far behind I've gotten...I'll have a rating on this by next year's MOTYC Thread.

Viva I obviously don't have New Horizons and I haven't got to Southern Nav yet. I'm actually get caught up on my ROH as we speak, honest!

6AS rules the school by the way, it may not have an equal amount of "stars" as Supercard III but I think its a better show.

I haven't seen SOHIII yet but I think 6AS is my favorite show so far this year (and will probably continue to be). It had so many winning qualities that I need for a show to be an all time favorite.

1. Hot opener
2. Awesome segment after said opener with Nigel/Dragon (That segment doesn't get enough love. Showed Danielson's evolved character perfectly)
3. Everything was at least very watchable.
4. A GREAT match before intermission
5. Fun spotfest FIP title match
6. Epic main event that told story that I couldn't look away from. Amazing heat and Nigel finally beat Dragon in the middle of the ring.

I agree, stars aren't everything. Excluding Driven this is probably my favorite ROH show since Final Battle 06 (which was a show very similar to this one).

DON'T YOU, DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE NIGEL!

I love that segment. Yeah the inbetween matches stuff on that show was pretty swank and add more to the show whereas Supercard I felt was just Great Match after great match. For instance one of my very favorite ROH shows is Escape From New York from '05 because it had a lot to offer aside from the matches on the card.

Danielson/McGuiness really doesn't get the love it deserves. I've got it close to ****3/4.

[vivalabrave]

I've actually got it at an easy ****3/4. I'm tempted to go full monty but something's holding me back.

2006 - Nigel/Dragon #2 MOTY
2007 - Nigel/Dragon #1 MOTY
2008 - Nigel/Dragon #1 MOTY

Not bad.
