4. Nigel McGuiness vs Chris Hero (**1/2)
That match is at least ***4/9 due to Nigel's lariat on Johnny Fairplay. I remember watching that over and over again. That was back when Nigel's lariats meant something...

Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen v Terry & Dory Funk (12/8/84)

You know when Brody's at his best? When he's in there with guys like Terry Funk, because then he actually has to sell and *gasp*... bump. Don't get me wrong, I love Brody. But God dammit, he is one uncooperative motherfucker. I watched this about 4 years ago and dropped 5 snowflakes on it. Not quite as enamoured this time around, but man, this is just some awesome pro-'rasslin.

Brody and Hansen control most of the first ten minutes, hitting shoulder tackles and big boots and knees, and it's pretty obvious that the Funks are up against some heavy shit. Terry spends the majority of the first half on the apron, but his first tag in gets a massive reaction from the crowd. Terry is beloved, and now he's back.

Dory is the one that does the majority of the load for his team (or takes the majority of the beatings, rather), and it makes sense with this being Terry's first match back in over a year. Dory's as stoic and methodical as always, and is, as usual, the perfect contrast to Terry's wild, brawling, raw emotion. Terry trying his damndest to get out of a Brody piledriver is great, but his failure to do so and response to it by popping back up, eyes glazed over, before collapsing again like a cartoon character slipping on a babana peel, is pretty much the best thing I'm likely to see this week. Actually, it's Thursday, and I usually lose all vision during the last few days of the week, so it's guarenteed to be the best thing I see this week.

Around the 12 minute mark Terry and Dory start to put together a decent chunk off offence, and it's only a matter of time before Brody and Hansen get pissed off enough to start whoopin' fools with chairs and stuff. Then Joe Higuchi gets sandwiched between Terry and the turnbuckles, so shit is really on.

Fist they take out Terry. Technically, he's the weakest of the two at this point in time. Dory's been active for the last year, so with Terry out of the way, they decide to try and break a table over his back. The job is pretty much done, and with the referee stirring again, it's practicially curtains. That's unless Terry can get back in the ring. Oh... he appears to be doing so. And, uh... he has a chain in his hand.

Unsurprisingly, he goes postal on everybody, including the referee for trying to stop him. Match gets thrown out, but Terry continues to beat on fools. Nobody fucks with his Funkin' brother. Terry's back... here's to his next retirement.

Really, from the opening bell to the 16-ish minute mark, this is fantastic. Great story, and executed perfectly. The problem I have with it is the finish. And it's kinda a big problem. Now, I know that this is All Japan in the 1980 and that clean finishes aren't the norm blah blah blah... but this is the culmination of a feud that started three years ago. From the moment Hansen debuted in the 1981 RWTL finals, destroying the Funks and torpedoing Terry Funk's head with a lariat, through the '82 finals, right through to Terry's eventual retirement. Three years later, Terry returns to help his brother take down Brody and Hansen. This needs some kind of finish. Whether it's a "Terry returns and overcomes the unstoppable forces" deal, or a "Brody and Hansen beat the valiant Terry Funk, who just didn't have enough in him after a year lay off" deal, this one has to have a conclusive end. It doesn't, and it ultimately leaves this as "just another great match," when it should've been so much more.

****1/2

PWG All Star Weekend 6 Night One

PWG World Title Match

Bryan Danielson vs. Low Ki ****¼

Karl Anderson vs. El Generico ***

Ronin vs. Scorpio Sky **½

Scott Lost and Joey Ryan vs. Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs ***¾

Number One Contender Best of 3 Series
Roderick Strong vs. Jack Evans ***¼-***½

Speed Muscle vs. The Young Bucks ***½

Alex Kozlov vs. Perkins **

CIMA vs. Susumu Yokosuka ***¼

Intergender Six Person Tag Team Match

Chris Hero, Necro Butcher and Candice LeRae vs. Human Tornado, Claudio Castagnoli and Eddie Kingston ****

Really great show. Ki/Danielson was tremendous, hell of an opener. the 2 tag matches were both very good and better then I was expecting them to be, Kozlov/Perkins dragged so much, CIMA/Yokosuka was disappointing due to the length and the main event was tons of fun. 1 of my favourite PWG shows so far
 
#3,691 ·
I most definitely would. I finished the third disc today, and it's been awesome. Next up is his stuff from New Japan, which means him and Inoki being all uncooperative and stiff because they didn't want to lose - or even sell - to each each.

I don't know if it is the highspots set, I got it a the last F1RST show from a dealer.

I give the Funk Bothers/Brody & Hanson match ****. I also wished for a clean finish, or even a dirty finish with a good five minutes left, cause at the end shit was getting hot. My grade pry seems outragously low for this match compared to everyone elses, but I have only been watching wrestling for five year now, and I am not used to this style. I am not like those that remember the glory of the eighties. I can not take a trip down memory lane to visit the attitude era. I don't have memories of ECW and WCW imploding. I started out as a 12 year old John Cena mark and have moved on to better (or at least finer in my sense of the word) wrestling tastes...but for me, this seemed old fashioned. Like sitcoms from the fifties...just not funny to someone that watches Family Guy. Never the less, a classic match, and maybe something I will understand later. We will see.
I wouldn't worry about it. When I started watching stuff that was completely different from the WWF/E style way back when, I couldn't get into it as much as most, either. I mean, I could see that it was good, but I was often finding that I was almost forcing myself to enjoy the stuff.

I stuck with it, though, and at some point (I think it was when I watched Flair/Sting from the original Clash way back in like 2003) it clicked. I kept checking out more stuff, and now wrestling from the 80s is my bread and butter. I'll watch guys like Hansen, Murdoch, Jumbo, Flair and Steamboat over 99.9% of just about anything else nowadays... and I still like that just fine, too.

Well... that a nice little pointless story. I'm gonna go get ploughed now.

Also since I don't feel like digging out the 2008 MOTY Thread I am posting this here.

Chris Hero vs. Low Ki (BOLA 2008 Finals) *****

Now this may seem like the most point fairyish thing to do in the world, but its not. In fact, this is the only match I have ever gone all out ***** for. The strikes were legit, the story was great, the submissions excrutiating. It was such a hot match. The best I have ever seen. Flawless is the word to describe it. Maybe it's not for everyone, but to me that is wrestling at it's best.

That is my two cents...
 
#3,692 ·
Ring of Honor - Fighting Spirit
1. Hero/Toland vs Blade/Edwards (**)
2. Hagadorn vs Primeau (*1/2)
3. Castagnoli vs Romero (**1/2)
4. J.Briscoe/Stevens vs Steenerico (***3/4)
5. Cabana vs Williams (**3/4)
6. Del Rey vs Osiris (1/2)
7. Shingo vs Matt Cross (**1/2)
8. NRC vs Evans/Delirious (***)
9. Morishima vs McGuiness (****)

Great Show. Although the start was shit.
 
#3,693 ·
Just got done watching Death before Dishonor 3 and I must say I was mildly dissapointed with this event.Felt like at least to me a 1 match show but here are my ratings:

Whitmer/Jacobs vs Embassy-**3/4
Anything Goes Carnage Crew vs RCE-**1/2
Pure Title Match Joe vs Cabana-***1/4
Petey Williams vs AJ Styles-***
Lacey Angels vs Strong/Evans-***
4CS Azireal vs Mcguiness vs Homicide vs Gibson-***1/4
Lethal vs Low Ki-***
ROH Title Aries vs Punk-****

I know that doesnt really sound like a one match show but just seemed lackluster to me and the main event was kind of dissapointing to me as well.I mean it was good but barely 4 stars for me.Maybe I just spoiled my self with watching Manhatten Mayhem,Nowhere to Run,and The Future is Now before this as I enjoyed those shows better than this one.Generation Now is up next for me have the last three matches to go.

7. Nigel Mc Guinness Vs Naomichi Marufuji ( **** - ****1/4 )
8. Bryan Danielson Vs Takeshi Morishima ( Fight Without Honor - **** - ****1/4 )

Great show overall with not 1 match what stank, the final 4 matches were all quality although they could of been better given the standard of wrestlers involved but that's not taking any thing away from how good they turned out. The only thing what didnt make much sense to me was Aries and Jacobs beating down Black when they've just came out of a big feud but I dont keep up with much news regarding ROH so maybe something happened I missed. Apart from that theres nothing else I can complain about so I'll deffinately give this show a thumbs up to any one wanting to see it.

Ring of Homicide 2:

Anything Goes: Austin Aries v.s Jimmy Jacobs-**1/4

-A decent brawl, but it ends way too early. I'm still looking forward to their other brawls, but this didn't help much.

The Age of the Fall (Brodie Lee & Delirious) v.s Cheech & Cloudy-*3/4

-This was an alright squash tag match and was a great way to show off Brodie Lee in his debut. Cheech & Cloudy would make a great undercard tag team in ROH. They aren't too over the top like most of the Chikara teams.

Some Women's Match-N/A

-Didn't watch and I don't even remember who was involved.

The Osirian Portal v.s Kevin Steen & El Generico-3/4*

-The only thing good about this match was Kevin Steen, the rest was 3 idiots pandering to the crowd. Steen was the only one who looked like cared to win this match. The Osirian Portal are hard on the eyes and I hope to never see them in the ring again. Not only are they awful they made El Generico act like an retard the entire match. If I want cheap comedy matches without any substance I'd waste my time and money on Chikara.

FIP Title Match: Necro Butcher v.s Go Shiozaki-**3/4

-This was an alright FIP match. It was on par with their original match. I didn't rate that one much higher either. It's a brutal match, but besides the strikes there really isn't much else to it. Still fun to watch.

Chris Hero v.s Brent Albright-***1/4-***1/2

-I really enjoyed this match. It was a lot like the Albright/Pearce battles which I fuckin' love. The first Albright/Pearce match is still my singles MOTY in ROH last year. This match wasn't as great as those encounters, but it had the same old school flow. This was better than Richards/Albright probably would have been so I wasn't upset about it changing. Totally.

6-Man Mayhem: Hallowicked v.s Rhett Titus v.s Jason Blade v.s Ruckus v.s Davey Richards v.s Claudio Castganoli-**1/2

-Usually I hate these matches, but Richards and Claudio kept this match from turning into an all out spotfest. Ruckus did his best to screw this one up, but it wasn't enough to keep it down. Rhett Titus was gold during this as well. He is a decent wrestler and should be given another lower midcard feud soon.

Tyler Black v.s Jerry Lynn-***1/2

-This match wasn't like the other Lynn matches in ROH with the great heel/face interaction. This was more like the RVD/Lynn matches. It's a definite most watch, too bad their wasn't much of a story.

The Briscoes v.s LAX-****1/4

-This was a tremendous main event. It was great seeing LAX and especially Homicide again. The night before certainly wasn't enough in that clusterfuck of an Irontag match. This was a brutal match that left both Briscoes bloody. This is exactly what I hoped for from LAX and I'd rather see them return than the Motor City Machine Guns. If MCMG were to return again I'd rather see Shelley in singles competition. I was also glad the Briscoes ended up winning after Homicide kicked out of the J-Driller. It just wouldn't seem right to have LAX just steamroll through the tag division without being on the actual roster. Good booking to such a great match.
