forkboy84 posted:There's no other place to put this and this isn't a nomination or anything but I watched a ROH show from 2004 earlier, Survival of the Fittest & the main event is a 6 man elimination match with Austin Aries, Bryan Danielson, Colt Cabana, Homicide, Mark Briscoe & Samoa Joe. They all had to win qualifying matches to get here. It takes less than 20 minutes for everyone to get eliminated (Cabana gets a sneaky roll-up on ROH Champ Samoa Joe, Briscoe pins Cabana, then Briscoe lands a German on Homicide but can't hold the bridge & the ref counts both their shoulders as down which is a bit silly, but leaves us with 20+ minutes of Aries vs Danielson and it loving rules. Danielson is just back from Best of the Super Juniors, Aries has been on 5 ROH shows before this one (including a Do or Die preshow match that barely counts) but he looks great. Danielson is Danielson. Dude does a bear hug in the biggest workrate promotion in the world, in front of deeply cynical smarky Philly fans & it gets over. He's so loving good. If this was 2004 I'd do a MOTYC for this but alas. But anyway, just thought it was worth singling this match out because it's surprisingly great. At the time this was a very well regarded match and led to Gabe getting the idea to do the Danielson/Aries match at Testing the Limit which originally was supposed to be like a 3 hour draw or something stupid, but instead was just an hour + best of 3 falls match.

Also second Pac vs Mox for HM.

HM: Mistico vs Gran Guerrero CMLL 1/24 Mistico was fantastic in this match. Broke out his best spots and an amazing springboard SSP. This was MOTY Caliber down the stretch but the finish dropped it down a bit, but that's fine if this leads somewhere. But it's CMLL so it probably won't, but it might! https://twitter.com/narukiroy/status/1220923104312070146 Should be on youtube soon!

Evil Badman posted:HM is the sweet spot for that cage match. Cody blading in the first five minutes is ridiculous and only happened because they had no time. What is ridiculous about it? Blood should come pretty early, especially against a heel who is smashing a babyface.

Evil Badman posted:It was 2:30 into the match. Wardlow's offense to that point was: a back elbow, a clothesline, and two face-first throws into the cage. It's not a checklist item it's an important part of the drama of the match. The smaller man, bloodied by the bigger man being beaten down. You want the blood to be there for the heat. When someone is going to take a beating from a monster, do the blood early to establish what a killer he is.

Other than the tag and Darby/Sammy which I already posted about: HM: Cody vs MJF. Given what the main event was going to be I can see why they did a little less here, but this still had a ton of passion and hate, with great imagery of Cody beating MJF bloody and having him finished and beaten... until MJF cheats him out of it. Good stuff. HM: Pac vs Orange Cassidy HM: Mox vs Jericho: THEY DID THE FINISH I WANTED! Great show. Fantastic show.
