Jim Cornette mentioned that it was the 2nd biggest market in a radio interview when promoting DBD8.

I believe it considering DBD7 drew 1200+ two nights in a row.
This show had considerably less people than the summer shows but I still think it's enough for 2nd place.

He was promoting a show in Toronto, he's going to make it sound like the most important city they run in to get more buys. He probably would have said number one if he could get away with it but everyone knows New York is their number one market.

You know more than Jim Cornette?

Sorry dude but Chicago has been no. 3 for awhile.
No return date is quite ridiculous for such a big market for such petty things.
You have no idea what you've started. And I think you're wrong.

Chicago is ROH's second biggest market, not Canada. I really hope there's no return date after reading reports from last night. Seriously yelling "Worst champ ever" at Eddie Edwards the whole match, the screaming midget, and someone shoving WKO'S 100 Best Wrestlers list in the wrestler's faces DURING matches????? Who the fuck prints out a list and shows it to a wrestler in the middle of a match? Seriously the Canadian crowds are even worse than New York when it comes to being obnoxious.

My woman and I had a blast at the show! her favourite was the Larry Sweeney tribute/Strut off. I loved Edwards vs. Hero, what a crowd! A few idiots trying to be cool, but not many.

Toronto and Chicago are pretty even as far as great crowds go, but I'm pretty sure we have them beat when it come to crowd size, which makes us the bigger market.

Skittle, you really shouldn't judge something based on something you were told.

ROH - Final Battle 2005

Jimmy Rave vs. Milano Collection AT - ***1/4

Colt Cabana vs. Azrieal - **

ROH Pure Championship
Nigel McGuinness(c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli - **3/4

Alex Shelley vs. Steve Corino - **1/4
How is it not a disqualification when your manager attacks the damn ref?

Four Corner Survival
Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Jay Lethal vs. BJ Whitmer - ***1/4

Ricky Reyes vs. Davey Andrews - NR

ROH World Tag Team Championship
Tony Mamaluke & Sal Rinauro(c) vs. Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong - **3/4

ROH World Championship
Bryan Danielson(c) vs. Naomichi Marufuji - ***1/2
This just doesn't hold up on a second viewing. It was good, yes, but I don't think it ever hit the level that the next match did and Marufuji didn't sell the leg. These two had a much better match a couple years later at A New Level.

GHC Jr. Heavyweight Championship
KENTA(c) vs. Low Ki - ****1/2

Overall: 8/10
A fantastic main event with a good enough undercard makes for a very good show.
 
#1,630 ·
For some reason Final Battle 05 didn't seem like a big event I mean we got a great Low Ki vs. Kenta but the Dragon vs Marufuji match was just random and outshined now with their New Level match. Plus the only thing that seemed big was the 4 Corner Survival and the Tag Title match. I mean maybe it had good to great matches but didn't seem to have the feeling of a big event
 
#1,633 ·
Yet it was still a hotter event than some recent Final Battles.
 
#1,635 ·
FB2005 is one of the most historically important shows in company history though. The debuts of KENTA and Marufuji, the redeeming turning point for the Tag Titles, Homicide and Cabana being escalated (although I would argue that it crossed the line of Wrestlecrap absurdity), and the beginning of a nice little rivarly between Danielson and the Embassy.

I'm about half way through DDT4 and it's been an amazing show. The American Wolves have two great, yet totally different matches with the RockNES Monsters and the Young Bucks. Tozawa was awesome in his opening round match as well, telling the crowd to shut the f**k up and getting into a karate battle with Mark. Definitely a fun show and worth picking up.

Can't think of too many people less deserving of a best of comp/interview. Even I don't think I could sit through 2 hours of his matches and a hour+ interview. Cuz.
 
#1,640 ·
Took advantage of ROH's 45% off sale and got:

Ring of Honor on HDNet Vol. 5
Ring of Honor on HDNet Vol. 6
World's Greatest
9th Anniversary Show
SHIMMER Vol. 36
The Curse of Guerrilla Island (saves me paying full price when I finally order some more PWG dvd's soon)

Hopefully ROH can get SHIMMER vol's 34 & 35 back in stock soon.

Ughh.Gabe always comes off looking like a total douche....Anyway

Here's the start of my KOT 3 night review

Ok, got the KOT a week after it happened and watched it over three days and havn't had a chance to post my thoughts yet, so here we go...(It's been almost 2 weeks since I started watching night 1, so I'll be adding to these reviews over the next 48hours as I re-watch)

CHIKARA King of Trios 2011 Night One

-Osirian Portal (Ophidian, Amasis & Hieracon) vs. Team 3.Ole! (Shane Matthews, Scott Parker & El Generico) ***1/4

Great opening match, greta way to start the weekend. Really great comedy to start and then things get ramped up for the last couple minutes of the match. Wasn't the smoothest ending if remember correctly but still a good fun opener.

-F.I.S.T (Johnny Gargano, Chuck Taylor & Icarus) vs. Team Australia (Kabel, Percy T & Tama Williams) **

Meh, didn't care, was very avaerage.

-B.D.K. (Delirious, Tim Donst & Jakob Hammermeier) vs. Da Soul Touchaz (Acid Jazz, Marshe Rockett & Willie Richardson) **1/2

Jakob's hilarity is the highlight of this match. This match did it's job, nothing more, nothing less

-Amazing Red & The Maximos vs. Mike Quackenbush, Manami Toyota & Jigsaw ***3/4

Really really fun fast paced match, shortest of the top three matches of the night and probably the best, really well put togeather. There was a little sloppiness towards the end but didn't hurt it that much.

-Spectral Envoy (Hallowicked, Frightmare & Ultramantis Black) vs. Team Dragon Gate (Super Shisa, Akira Tozawa & KAGETORA) ***1/2

need to watch again, dont remember to much about the specifics but I can remember liking the fact I got a better look at Shisa, he really impressed. Also, i remember thinking that it was a really good trios match and I have a feeling my rating will go up after a re-watch.

-The Throwbacks (Dasher Hatfield, Sugar Dunkerton & Matt Classic) vs. Team Osaka Pro (Atsushi Kotoge, Daisuke Harada & Ultimate Spider, Jr.) ****

I seem to be alone in this but I feel like this was the MOTN. It essentially is the same kind of match that the opening Trios match was but done better IMO. Great comedy spots to start, Cabana is really really great right now. Also after a bit the match takes on a more serious tone and gets down to action. Better comedy thant he opening match, better action than the DG vs Spectral Envoy match. Great stuff and so far it seems to be slept on.

-The Colony (Fire Ant, Soldier Ant & Green Ant) vs. Sinn Bodhi, Obariyon & Kodama **3/4

Very average.

-Team Michinoku Pro (Great Sasuke, Dick Togo & Jinsei Shinzaki) vs. Team Minnesota (1-2-3 Kid, Arik Cannon & Dorin Corbin) ***3/4

Fatastic main event. More on this later and night 2 & 3, gotta get back to work, lol.

2011 King of Trios Night Two

-Colt Cabana vs. Archibald Peck **

-F.I.S.T (Johnny Gargano, Chuck Taylor & Icarus) vs. Team Osaka Pro (Atsushi Kotoge, Daisuke Harada & Ultimate Spider Jr.) ****

-Rey de Voladores 4 Way Eliminator: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Pinkie Sanchez vs. Marshe Rockett vs. El Generico ***3/4+

-Osirian Portal (Amasis, Ophidian & Hieracon) vs. Team Dragon Gate (Super Shisa, KAGETORA & Akira Tozawa) ***1/2

-Arik Cannon vs. Eddie Kingston ***

-B.D.K (Delirious, Tim Donst & Jakob Hammermeier) vs. The Colony (Fire Ant, Soldier Ant & Green Ant) ***

-Rey de Voladores 4 Way Eliminator: 1-2-3 Kid vs. Amazing Red vs. Frightmare vs. Obariyon ***1/2

-Mike Quackenbush, Manami Toyota & Jigsaw vs. Team Michinoku Pro (Great Sasuke, Dick Togo & Jinsei Shinzaki) ***3/4


Chikara King of Trios 2011 Night Three


-Osirian Portal (Ophidian, Amasis & Hieracon) vs. The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant & Soldier Ant) ***1/4

-F.I.S.T (Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano & Icarus) vs. Team Michinoku Pro (Dick Togo, Great Sasuke & Jinsei Shinzaki) ***1/2+

-Ultimate Spider Jr. vs. Jigsaw **3/4

-Tag Gauntlet: Willie Richardson & Acid Jazz vs. Arik Cannon & Darin Corbin vs. The Batiri vs. The Throwbacks vs. The B.D.K vs. Matt Classic & Darkness Crabtree vs. The Roughnecks Team Osaka Pro vs. 3.0 vs. Team Dragon Gate **

-Madison Eagles vs. Manami Toyota ***

-Akira Tozawa vs. Eddie Kingston ****

-Rey de Voladores: El Generico vs. 1-2-3 Kid ****1/4

-2011 King of Trios Final: F.I.S.T (Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano & Icarus) vs. The Colony (Fire Ant, Soldier Ant & Green Ant) ****

The guy is thinking back to what could have been.

He was once the acclaimed booker of one of the acclaimed wrestling promotions in the world.

Now, he's a booker for a promotion that is relatively, an unimportant sideshow to its Japanese counterpart and a promotion he's shown little to no interest in because of his concentration on DG: USA.
