Nigel McGuinness vs KENTA ROH 7th Anniversary Show 3/21/09
This was way better then I thought it would be. Nigel pretty much has no arms at this point and doesn’t connect on a lariat the entire match and tries to use his arms as little as possible. It is ridiculous at times that he doesn’t try to sell the arm more, but I’ll give him slight pass since he was legit injured. KENTA did his best selling the arm even though it is still a Nigel armwork match. Don’t know if it will hold up, but it deserves another chance. Keep.
Kevin Steen/El Generico vs American Wolves No DQ ROH 7th Anniversary Show 3/21/09
Another sweet Steenerico/Wolves match. Steen has an injured leg and as usual sells like the fucking man. It pretty much Stneenerico control, a little Wolves leg destroying, Steenerico type moves run, and back to the leg all while Steen’s selling the whole match. The best match in this feud so far. Keep.
Bryan Danielson/Colt Cabana vs. Jimmy Rave/Bison Smith ROH 7th Anniversary Show 3/21/09
Could have been an underrated gem, but just wasn’t. The returns of Rave and Colt were huge, and Bison could have been a better Morishima if he had stuck around, because he was wrecking people in this. Still it was only 12 minutes and there just wasn’t enough there. No.

El Generico/KENTA vs Nigel McGuinness/Davey Richards ROH Steel City Clash 3/20/09
Good, but not what it could have been with the people involved. Didn’t seem to have the heat to bring it over the top. No.
Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong ROH Steel City Clash 3/20/09
Similar story to there 07 SOH2 match with Aries trying to avoid the chops and all of Strong’s trademarks. I think this match was better because Aries was a better heel, but it was a little messy at times and has a somewhat lame finish. No.
Jimmy Jacobs & Brodie Lee vs. Tyler Black & Necro Butcher Falls Count Anywhere ROH Steel City Clash 3/20/09
Good bloodless affair. Nothing incredible otherwise. No.
Mike Quackenbush vs Bryan Danielson ROH Steel City Clash 3/20/09
Absolutely brilliant and a MOTYC. Just two masters of there craft killing it on the mat with the arm work vs leg work story. Better then there 07 match because of Danielson’s selling, but Quack’s selling was great too. Has a real shot of being #1. Keep.
