Danielson/Rave rewatch

I liked the story of Rave stealing all of Dragon’s trademark moves, but applied them in a way that made them inferior to the originator which I thought was a nice touch. I just don’t know if it needed 33 minutes. However, they did well in filling the time. I still think it was a little back and forth and the ending didn’t do it for me, but it holds up. Keep.

Homicide vs. Colt Cabana Ghetto Street Fight rewatch

This was full of hate, and I loved it. Great selling from both and both put a little more oomph on there offense. At least top 5 for 06. Definite yes.

Jimmy Rave/Adam Pearce vs Bryan Danielson/CM Punk rewatch

The match was fine, but it had no right going that long. A lot of it felt like filler and the execution of moves came off as just good as opposed to great. No.

Nigel/Aries rewatch

Doesn’t hold up as well as last time. It has its moments, but the working of the rope breaks, the back and forth, and the finisher overkill prevent me from giving this more love. I think if they slowed it down to allow everyone to sell, the match would have been better off for it. No.

Styles/Danielson Dissension rewatch

This is the best of there matchups in ROH, but I don’t know. I feel this match took a while to get going. Eventually Dragon worked the nose and drew blood. Strangely, AJ didn’t really sell, let alone milk, the bloody nose. It actually felt like AJ’s intensity dropped the further the match went along. In the end, this had its moments, but AJ dropped the ball just enough for me to leave it off. No, barely.

Rave/Shelly/Abyss vs Yang/Evans/Sydal rewatch

Man, this was super fun. Just an Embassy asskicking fest with the dickishness ramped up to 11. It helped that Sydal and Yang bumped accordingly for them. Especially at the end with Abyss tearing shit up. Probably could of cut a minute or two (maybe) and the end was a bit flat. Right now, it is second.

Whitmer/Jacobs/Pearce vs Yang/Evans/Sydal rewatch

This held up pretty well. No BS. Just 12 minutes of fast paced action from beginning to end. I think this is the best so far. Just a little less downtime then Styles/Sydal. Keep.
