You've gotten a bit too excited for RoH on Friday, everything is starting to look good to you.

Fuck that, it was a really good match actually.

Shit, I forgot to maintain this thing this year so far. Haven't seen much worth adding (no pay-per-views yet) but let's see what I can whip up.

I'm not sure if any of the ***+ matches from the NWA Showcase can be counted here, I don't think any of them were actually taped in 2008 until the fifth episode or so.

From the NWA Showcase (from the fifth episode and on, when the shows started being complete from a single venue). The dates are air-dates, I'm not sure on exactly when tapings took place.

Nice. All of my ratings are either the same or within 1/4* of your's.

And I should be seeing those ROH matches soon.

From Backlash:

The Undertaker vs. Edge ***3/4
Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. JBL vs. John Cena ***1/2

From Ring of Honor: Breakout (1/25/08)

Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero ***3/4
Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black ****
Roderick Strong and Rocky Romero vs. Jimmy Jacobs and Joey Matthews ***1/2
BJ Whitmer and Brent Albright vs. Delirious and El Generico ***1/4

A lot of the other matches on the card were dangling around the *** mark, but weren't memorable enough for me to call up from having watched this a couple weeks ago to remember now.

Alright a few items to add...

From Ring of Honor's Supercard of Honor 3

Austin Aries vs. Nigel McGuinness - ****1/4
Typhoon vs. Muscle Outlaw'z - ****1/2

From Full Impact Pro's Redefined

Roderick Strong vs. Erick Stevens - ****3/4 (I might be overrating it but screw you, I loved it.)

Awesome. I have both DVDs in the mail, I can't wait to watch them.

Not sure if this still going on, but the Cena/Cryme Tyme vs. JBL/DiBiase/Rhodes match on the 7/14 Raw was fantastic and **** in my book. That was straight up old school NWA six man action there. With a better ending, it may have been even higher.

That six man was pretty good, I'm not sure I'd go that high, but it was definitely in the ***+ region.

Actually, I thought Raw in general was fantastic last night, except for the stupid ending (JBL trying to kill Cena with a car).

Theres too many more for me to mention.

Sounds like 2008 is shaping up to be a really lackluster year all over the world as far as outstanding matches go.

I don't know, I'm really far behind in all things not WWE so far this year. There have only been a handful of ****+ matches on WWE pay-per-views, so it hasn't really been a great year by any stretch of the imagination.
