Even if you aren't, it's a great match to enjoy, and even more, to learn from."

The lineup for the Midwest shows allready look good. And Cide vs. Danielson in a best of five series should be good...

So are they doing a different gimmick for each of the Dragon/Homicide matches? That's pretty cool if they are. Hopefully I'll be able to attend a midwest show this time around...

Damn, that's gonna be gooooood. It would be funny to actually see a Best-of-x-falls not go x-amount of falls for once. I know it happens here and there, especially in lucha, but that's apples and oranges.

It seems to be what they are going for, which would be sweet. Nice to see that they are taking advantage of the great stuff those two have done in ROH over the last year or so.
