Well, there have been some mentioning of Chris Hero and Necro Butcher showing up at the show and a possible alliance of CZW and The Briscoe's. Overall there are some good matches on the show (Rod/Aries vs. Sydal/AJ, Danielson/Rave, and Homicide/Colt should be good) but the others are ones that have happened a hundred times or I just don't want to see. Not a bad overall card, but it's bad for a 4 year anniversary show.

I have to admit, I've been intrigued by the Hero/ ROH situation.

Same here, but honestly the worst part of that payoff would be the matches. They did a Hero/Danielson title match about a month ago and I couldn't be bothered...............I've seen their IWA-MS match and it was alright.............nothing less, nothing more.....and it was the main event of the show (IWA-MS - A Wrestling Fairytale: The Hero vs. The Dragon). Who knows though, I'll probably check that show out eventually.

Read this from Hero's Live Journal.....

I'm not the biggest Hero mark in the world, but this angle is pretty fuckin cool.

I can't stand Hero in the ring, but he's doing a great sales job with this whole angle. Plus, the odd thought of Necro Butcher in an ROH type match is interesting too.

It would be beyond great if they had Gabe get his ass kicked by Necrobutcher........

Claudio, Hero, Necro and The Briscoe's would make a fucking awesome "Invasion" stable. Makes me wonder who the eventual "ROH Defenders" will be. From the last Dayton show I'd guess Aries, but that's all I can really think of...

I wouldn't do a full-on invasion angle, but it seems they will. I would just have Hero as Necro's mouthpeice pounting out the differences between a great wrestler and a great fighter.

Nothing from that show that I really want to see. Though it's better than the original Danielson/Ki/Daniels rematch from the first ever show match that Gabe wanted.

I actually liked that idea.



And this card looks entertaining. I think a lot of ROH fans have becomed spoiled. It's like "Aw, man, the show only looks GOOD and not mind-blowingly amazing! ROH sucks now!"



Edit: I meant that reaction from message boards in general, not necessarily here.

The problem is that RoH went with a lot of stale matches. And several of these matches happened several times last year.

At least it's not Danielson vs. Homicide #5,000,000.

In ROH's defense, EVERY company books stale matches because either the promoter is too lazy or they don't have that much circulation of talent to keep it fresh.

Example #1: TNA is going with Styles/Joe/Daniels combos again for the next two months. Styles/Daniels have been feuding for the better part of a year despite not having an angle.

Example #2: WWE booked Cena/Angle into the ground the last 5-6 months.

Hooray Briscoe Brothers! :D Sounds like a great show. I'd like to see Colt vs. Homocide.

HOLY SHIT!!!! Scrooge DEFENDED ROH!??!?!?!?!

I actually do agree with this. It's a step backward for ROH too, especially because there was a point and time where ROH decided to start doing a slower build for feuds with there being plenty of payoff's when the matches finally happened. IF they went back to that..............they'd be a better overall product.

It just baffles me that they have such a potentially strong champion in Danielson and they've just pissed it away. He's had no good defenses and he should be doing what Joe did during his reign. I just don't know why there's such a lack of focus.

Well, I honestly don't think it's a lack of focus...........it's a lack of WANT.

When Joe was the champion, they fed him EVERYONE. They just don't seem willing to do the same with anyone else as champion. Unfortunately they have forgot what made Joe's run so badass in the first place.

I just don't see why he's been champion for 6 months and this is his list:

11 title defenses and 5 were against guys guys who had never been in RoH before and who are part timers at best. Two were against Roderick Strong who hasn't been built as a big time World Title threat yet and another against Rocky Romero who's in the same boat.

So 3 defenses against game opponents and 2 of those are automatically known not to win because they're TNA talent. Where's Samoa Joe, Homicide, Colt Cabana, Jay Lethal or Low Ki?

I love RoHbots. I love reading how every card is better than the last. It's like ECW all over again.

Strong won Survivor of the Fittest, and the winner gets a title shot; why he got two? Got me. Right now Colt has been in a feud with Homicide. Don't worry, in due time Colt will do his job to the champ, like he always does.

Show doesn't sound like anything special. I would definately like to see what Aries/Strong can do against The Briscoes though.

Danielson and Rave..............35 minutes? I don't even mind Rave that much more recently and that just sounds awful to me.
