Watched Danielson/Jacobs from Full Circle. Good match. I'm not sure how everybody else saw it but I definitely think Danielson's failed springboard was a total botch. Good recovery by both men though and Danielson's knee selling was stellar. I didn't like that he used his injured leg in a lot of his offense later on but some of his sells were so awesome. The nip up and the Cattle Mutilation sells made me go "that was great". Some of the reversals near the end were really nice too but the finishing stretch lacked the heat you'd expect from a Danielson match. Not outstanding but solid.

***1/4

Hmmm...I've seen plenty of Danielson matches and I can say that I don't think I've ever seen him even attempt a springboard into the ring. Based on that I'd say it was planned. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Almost makes me want to D/L the match and check it out soley based on a potential botch by Dragon.

BTW, Platt, is there anyway you could just spoiler tag the new shirts so the page won't be stretched everytime?

Joe got pulled by TNA before Gabe pulled the trigger on a KENTA singles match.

Re: ROH best ever show?

Looking to get into ROH what shows / dvds / ppvs shall i get? Also what show is the highest attendance rate? Which had highest production? As i'm put off by small crowds and low production seems bit dark for me
Final Battle 2008 & Death B4 Dishonor VI were both at the Hammerstein Ballroom which is quite a big building both events drew over 2000 fans ( I think , they're both great shows as well.

I'd also recommend Rising Above 2008 ( or 09 ) it was filmed in 08 but aired on PPV in 09 and also Supercard Of Honor III.

2 other DVD'S I'd highly recommend are ROH - Bloodstained Honor & ROH Best In The World, which are compilation DVD's of ROH matches and they are out of this world imo :happy:

I hope that helps as I havent been into watching ROH again lately my self.

If you want to get into ROH, you must watch this:

- Better than our best
- Supercard of Honor I, II & III
- Unified
- Death Before Dishonor III & VI
- Final Battle 2008
- Rising Above 2009
- Manhattan Mayhem I & II
- Joe vs. Kobashi
- Joe vs. Punk
- All Star Extravaganza III
...
 
#3,957 ·
Yeah guys, let's recommend only the best so they can watch all that and feel disappointed when they watch a show with only ONE four star match.

If you want to get into ROH, find a guy you might know, then check out some shows with their matches or their title runs (if they were a champ). I definitely recommend starting from Fouth Year Anniversary and working your way on up from there and asking every once in awhile on what shows you should pick up next.

I thought ASE4 was pretty awful outside of the KO/StrongAlbright tag.

FB '08 was the last DVD I bought it's pretty damn good. The opener is alot of fun, the 6-man street fight is short but sweet with a great finish and post-match. Briscoes/KO wasnt as good as the previous night's tag, but was still quite good and was the sort of match The Briscoes are good in as opposed to the OTT shitfests. Danielson/Morishima wasn't amazing or anything, but was very good, Aries/Black ditto - not spectacular or anything, but very good. Nigel/Marufuji was a good match for Marufuji in an otherwise bad year and one of the better Nigel matches, mostly because it strayed away from the same formula he's been using ever since TNP.

Good show, I'd recommend it.

I always prefered Kenskay in his team with Hase myself but Hase rules the world regardless.

I expected little from Claudio/Sasaki and I pretty much got what I expected. His match with Strong was a little better than I expected but still nothing special and it was one of those matches where it was obvious the one guy had absolutely no chance of winning.

I was pretty let down by GBH myself but really looking back on it, most of the GBH shows are fairly average.

I think it was Tak who got pretty fucked up by Sasaki but man oh man the match they had at the 2002 G-1 was so stiff it made guys like Low Ki or Davey Richards look like bitches.
