Austin Aries vs. Samoa Joe (ROH Third Anniversary Celebration Part 3) - ***

It didn't start out the way I thought it would. It was more of a slow paced, methodical match than I had anticipated. Pace started to pick up a little, but then it slowed right back down.

The psychology of the match was probably why it stayed around that kind of speed. They once again made Joe seem like the ultimate bulldozer that could not be stopped. Austin took a pretty good beating from the strikes of Joe. Joe seemed relaxed and in control basically the whole match. Whenever Aries gained any sort of momentum, Joe would seemingly take back control all the time.

AA showed outstanding resiliency, and was able to take everything that Joe was dishing out. Didn't really care for the sequencing of the match. Transitions didn't seem to naturally flow. Finish was a little suprising, but it correlated to the type of match they were putting on. Aries couldn't get a definitive win, but luck proved to be on his side.

Colt Cabana vs Adam Pearce
**1/2

Overall:
Very good show. The main event is the kind of send off you'd expect for Colt. Lots of comedy even if the quality of the wrestling match isn't the highest a main event should be. Briscoes/MCMG and Morishima/SHINGO are both brilliant though.

Seabs, how could you forget to mention Daniels' farewell promo? EASILY the #3 highlight of the night behind the two title matches.

I gave the Briscoes/MCMG the full five. My tag match of the decade.

What about the Jimmy Jacobs promo at the start of the show.

Just made another purchase off the ROH site courtesy of the Buy 2, Get One Free Sale.

Picked up Supercard of Honor I, Supercard of Honor IV, and Take No Prisoners 09 from the sale. Got FIP Redefined as well just because the price is too damn good to pass up on. Got my tickets for the upcoming ROH show in Chi-Town too.

I've been dishing out major cash for DVD's these past couple of days. My ass is gonna be broke real soon if I don't watch it. But hey, what the hell I guess.

[Panic!]

As well as PWG 'Sells Out' Volume One, I also managed to purchase 'PWG 100' since someone else on another board recommended it to me although he never really mentioned much about it. Have the feeling that it'll be a good buy nonetheless.

Nice FIP prices too, only have two FIP DVDs although with those prices there's no reason not to buy at least one.

[DPETE]

Yeah I had to pick up Redefined from FIP. Stevens/Strong is pretty epic and I finally forced myself into getting it on DVD.

I'd recommend getting that one if you don't already have it.
