JLM, following ROH and disliking spoilers are two things that do not mix. Your review was really good and I may post a couple of reviews on the DG thread. The only problem is, they'll be shows you'll have probably reviewed already and certainly have seen:23/Ap/06 P.P.V (Ryo Saito vs. Susumu Yokosuka headlining)05/Oc/05 P.P.V (CIMA vs. Taka Michinoku)Infinity #27 (Ryo Saito vs. CIMA)WrestlejamAnd soon I should have King Of The Gate 2005.I have questions about some of the stuff that happens on the shows so I'll visit the DG thread more often! Actually, right now, since I have a question about CIMA-Taka. Thanks again and I'll get onto ordering Infinity #23,Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members MoChatra Posted January 25, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Also posted in the DG thread, in case anybody skips it: Dragon's Gate announced today in Japan that they would be sending CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Yokosuka, Dragon Kid, Ryo Saito, Genki Horiguchi, and Shingo Takagi to the Ring of Honor events in Detroit, Michigan on 3/30 and 3/31 during Wrestlemania 23 weekend. Dragon's Gate sent many of the same talents to last year's ROH events in Chicago the weekend of Wrestlemania 22. That led to one of the best matches of 2006, a six man tag featuring Blood Generation of CIMA & Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino vs. Do Fixer of Ryo Saito & Genki Horiguchi & Dragon Kid during ROH's "Supercard of Honor" event.

dopper Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm going to the Friday night show. My first thought was that it would be interesting to see if I believe the hype more seeing the Dragon Gate crew in person than on dvd when I thought the 6-man from Supercard From Honor failed to live up to the classic I had read numerous glowing reviews of.But then my second thought on this was how to not get thrown out for mercilessly attacking the "Please Don't Stop!" and "Match of The Year!" chanting fuckers who will surely be all around me.

WU LYF 4 LYF Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I think the DG 6-Man is alright. The execution is swank and as far as spot-fu type matches go it was nicely done. But it didn't help that nobody in the crowd knew the wrestlers, and that most of the stuff was a bit meaningless in the context they wrestled in. The crowd itself helps make it difficult viewing, with the 'please don't stop' and other crappy chants.I actually agree about the ROH ring needing changing, but I don't like the colous; the black makes it look really dull, I'd like to see them go with something brighter. Even things like that make the matches more enjoyable IMO. Needs to be bigger as well.My Top 5 in ROH 2006?1. Bryan Danielson v Samoa Joe (Fight Of The Century 05/08/06)2. KENTA v Roderick Strong (Throwdown 23/06/06)3. Jimmy Rave/Alex Shelley/Masato Yoshino v Dragon Kid/Genki Horiguchi/Ryo Saito (Better Than Our Best 01/04/06)4. Bryan Danielson v Alex Shelley (Arena Warfare 11/03/06)5. Austin Aries/Roderick Strong v CIMA/Naruki Doi (Better Than Our Best 01/04/06)Keep in mind that the last show I saw was Anarchy In The UK.

Paid Members gadge Posted January 27, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 Nice to see some love for Blood Embassy vs Do Fixer and Danielson vs Shelley there anarchistxx. Where would Danielson vs Nigel at Unified stand on a longer list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 28, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 Most people want fans with emotion that are loud and chant-happy but not when the chants are the fans pretty much saying "You athletes are putting on an incredible wrestling display, thank you, we give you our full support" which is what often happens with the mongoloid wrestling fans.

alexander Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 This weekend's results, for those who care - Night One - 1) Rocky Romero over Davey Richards via submission2) Jack Evans over Eddie Edwards via pinfall3) Delirious and Pelle Primeau over Adam Pearce and Shane Hagadorn when Delirious made Hagadorn tap. Pearce was brawling with Pelle outside the ring during the submission.4) Jimmy Jacobs, Brent Albright, and Lacey over Colt Cabana, BJ Whitmer, and Daizee Haze when Lacey pinned Daizee after Jacobs put her through a table.Apparently this was the best drawing ROH show in Braintree to date.5) Samoa Joe over Nigel McGuinness via submission. Jimmy Rave attacked Joe after the match.~INTERMISSION~6) Jimmy Rave won the Four Corner Survival over Jason Blade, Shingo, and Christopher Daniels when he made Daniels tap to the 'Heel Hook'.7) Homicide pinned Chris Hero with a Cop Killa8) The Briscoes beat Strong and Aries two falls to none.~Briscoes take fall #1 after a spike Jay-Driller on Strong~Briscoes take fall #2 after spike Jay-Driller on AriesApparently Daizee got messed up during her match and was given a standing ovation afterwards. The main had little or no heat.Night 2 - Jimmy Rave beat Nigel Mcguinness due to ref stoppage when Nigel wouldn't submit to the Heel Hook.Adam Pearce pinned Pelle Primeau after a piledriverHero wins a three way over Daniels and Claudio with a roll up on Daniels.Jimmy Jacobs over BJ Whitmer when Brent Albright interferes after BJ picked up Jimmy after a top rope exploder, and tries to powerbomb him through a table, but Albright interfered and put BJ through the table.Briscoes beat the Pitbulls with a J-Driller on Ricky. Romero walked out and left Reyes for dead.~Intermisson~Colt and Del Ray beat Lacey and Albright, Del Ray pinned Lacey with a double underhookAries/Strong/Evans beat Richards/Delirious/Shingo when Aries hit the 450 on Shingo.Homicide beat Joe clean in about 35 minutes with 4 straight lariats.MOTN was the 6 man. Briscoes/Pitbulls was apparently awful, probably because the Briscoes still suck a dick unless they're working guys who like to get killed.Can I just point out that Homicide with the World Title is a stupid idea.
