That match felt like it was going in reverse because they were so slow.

I was thinking the same thing. I have no idea what happened to Dragon, but they didn't factor it into the match at all apart from one kick from Nigel pretty early on.

Can't say I agree with any Stein vs Generico match being 5 star. They're good matches, but I don't really buy into "brutality" type of matches that much.

I think I could almost got the full 5 for the Steen vs Generico Final Battle match.

It's been about a year later and already it feels like such an iconic match.

Amazing year long build to an awesome story driven brawl that played on their past.

Even the fact that in storyline it wasn't apart of the show and the warning that Bobby Cruize gave the fans before the match.

The Ladder Match wasn't even close in my mind. Still a great match, but it didn't have anywhere near as much meaning, build or drama. Might of had crazier spots though.

Generico vs. Steen at FB10 is one of my all time favourite matches. Just watched it again and it just sucks all of the emotion out of you, and I've seen it a good seven or eight times. Amazing build up, amazing match and at tha rate ROH is going, amazing follow up as well. One of the easiest ***** i've ever given, to be honest.

I don't think you understand 5 star match. I've got a list of matches I like, but I wouldn't call them all 5-star. It's totally fine you like Angles stuff, but you have his match with Matt Morgan for goodness sake. That's Michael Cole quality overselling.

Two more to add...

Ricky Steamboat vs “Nature Boy” Ric Flair - JCP 5/29/1984 - World Heavyweight Championship
A hidden gem in the Flair/Steamboat series. Possibly their best match. The only match that is on the same level is the Clash Of The Champions in 1989. They wrestled in front of a tough crowd that heckled the early stages of the match with chants of 'Flair's a queer' and 'Boring' during Steamboat's long headlock. In fear of losing the crowd, Flair escapes the headlock and the two do a brilliant two minute sequence. The crowd are now red-hot and after that short sequence, not one person was booing the action. That shows you how good these two men are. This was a stupidly exciting match that left me wondering what would happen next.

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat vs Randy “Macho Man” Savage - WWF Wrestlemania III - Intercontinental Championship
I've always thought this match was overrated, but on this viewing, I loved it. So many nearfalls and so much action for a 15 minute match. Add on top of that a mental crowd and plenty of drama and you got yourself an all-time classic.
