Two very different reviews for the hunt for glory. Guess I'll find out what I think about it when this thing finishes downloading.

I think I can go on record and say that BJ/Titus vs. Fish/O'Reilly is one of the most bland, boring and uninspired matches I've seen in a VERY long time.

While the show was honest to goodness bad, I think it depends if you've been liking ROH over the last few years. I haven't found much to cheer for from them so seeing a poor show wasn't a surprise. Plus, I can't stand the work of guys like Elgin, Haas, Davey, O'Reilly, & Briscoes. So those matches being bad were probably foregone conclusions for me. Witnessing them was only the proof I needed. Although seeing the main event get branded with 4 stars doesn't leave me to question what one could see in that match. I mean, there was no form of selling by the men involved or a sign of a story. It was all muddled together.

Then there are guys who I do like who didn't bring much to the table - Jay Lethal & Roderick Strong.

General consensus here is Adam Cole vs Jimmy Jacobs is well worth a watch. No matter what one's opinion towards ROH currently is.

ACH FACED 2 COLD SCORPIO?

Glad Jacobs/Cole was indeed good. I'll watch that.

I'd say they're really backed up with orders from the 5 for $40 Sale. It's been longer than usual for my order too, and I've seen a lot of similar comments.

I was going to pimp it out to you, tbhayley.

National Pro Wrestling day was a very fun event. The afternoon card was great with not one bad match and CWF stole that shit. The evening card picked up about mid way. NYWC had a great tag, ACH vs Scorpio killed, and the return of the ECW Arena was anounced. Didnt get to see Fox vs Strickland do to lag on the servers end but read that Strickland really stuck out in a great spot match.

Checked out Cole/Jacobs from Hunt for Gold on Dailymotion, a definite ***3/4 and I could be tempted to round it up to 4*. Just a great contest from start to finish, Jacobs seemed very motivated from the off and I loved their feeling out process. Corino was a ton of fun on commentary; I hope he's a more full-time addition to the commentary team. Could be all kinds of awesome if he plays it straight but then shows massive bias towards the S.C.U.M matches. Anyway, Cole continues to warrant my affections, and I love that he's starting to bust out the superkick from out of nowhere (like at the finish of the match), rather than just relying on it in typical superkick spots we've become accustomed to. Also, did Cole use a brainbuster-on-the-knee on Jacobs? Wasn't sure if it was a slight botch of a shoulderbreaker or if it was fully intended; either way it looked sick.

More of this Jacobs please. I still think he's got a World Title run in him; probably not with this current gimmick/persona, but he's certainly a guy who could help the company return to their state of having good-great title matches on every show. That's not a slight on Steen either, but ROH's booking of him has made him so much more of a hardcore worker and they rarely let him 'just wrestle'.

Hunt For Gold sounds AWESOME!

I'll probably watch Jacobs/Cole though.
