1.13.08 KENTA/Ishimori vs Marufuji/Aoki (NOAH) The first stop on my look at any possible Match of the Year Candidates (MOTYC from here on out).This match didn’t get huge buzz, but for almost the first two months of the year this was considered a pace setter. Besides, anything over 3 ½ stars or considered Very Good by [...]

3.7.08 Brian Danielson vs Mike Quackenbush (WXW Germany) This isn’t Afa the Wild Samoan’s promotion, or I’d be walking to that show. This is Westside Xtreme Wrestling in Germany, where an ocean would interrupt my walking. They wrestle out of a nightclub and the fans are all standing up against the ring itself. They slap [...]

2.16.85 Dick Murdoch vs Barry Windham This is the first of a double Gene Boyer special. Gene sent me a match – a year or more ago – to do a review when he first started contributing here. It was one of his favorite all time matches from early on in the decade. Having all the [...]

10.15.04 Generation Next vs Second City Saints (ROH) This feud is fueled by two things. Punk’s face turn and alliance with the legendary Ricky Steamboat, and their collective issue with the young upstart Generation Next faction. Secondary feud comes to us in the way of Jimmy Jacobs and Alex Shelly via IWA-MS. It continues here, as [...]

-5.6.06 NWA-VA Sean Denny vs Damian Wayne This match was on a best of 2006 collection I’ve had sitting around. It may be the only truly indy – indy match on the set, so I thought I’d take a look. You may remember I’d done some writing on Damian and Denny before they debuted in ROH [...]

-3.5.08 Marufuji vs Kikutaro: The match is from a NOAH house show. This was a fun nine minute comedy match clipped a few times to about four minutes of extended highlights. Marufuji is pretty awesome whether he’s tagging with KENTA, being a top Jr. Heavy or heavyweight contender, or guest staring in Ring of Honor over [...]

We’re back with our continuing coverage of Young Lions Cup VI. (Johnny P NOTE: Night one write up is finally all done. Check it out. Night One is here) The show opened with an angle (right in front of John) where Vin Gerard attacked Worker Ant (who was scheduled to wrestle Chip Day tonight) and injured his [...]

I check out the Best of Chikara ‘05/06 DVD and get lost in some sweet American Lucha with Quack and Claudio, but first it’s the differing styles and pace of Sweet and Sour facing the King of Diamonds.

Note: I’ve removed the makeshift results Brian Streleckis texted in and replaced it with Brian’s report on the show. I feel Brian’s thoughts and live report are a little more important than my crude results post. I stayed behind at the arena Sunday night to watch WWE Judgment Day, which they were showing on their screens [...]

I always try to deliver in threes, so today I’ll discuss Claudio Castagnoli going under the mask as “Swiss Ice Cream” for the 2007 Trios Tourney, Doc gets a shot at the Triple Crown, and some Sean Denny vs Damien Wayne action leading up to their respective ROH debuts.
