Well that had some truly incredible spots and jaw dropping moments but was also full of sloppy brawling and very awkward moments. They weren’t too bad on the overly cute front but those two set up botches from Jay were just too big and obvious to ignore, so despite what the crowd thinks not a match of the year but undoubtably the biggest spotfest of the year. To be quite frank I’ll be happy if I never see a match this dangerous ever again, that Jay Driller on Generico while amazing was just stupid and shouldn’t be repeated its too risky, wrestling had enough horror stories. Exciting but to indyish to be great. (***1/2)

Well that was superb. The final half of that match was incredible and excellent. However while the first half was technically profficeint it lacked the intensity of the McGuinness-Danielson match and that of their previous encounter. These are of course minor minor quibbles in a thoroughly brilliant match up. My one mark against it was that Suicide Dive spot which was incredible but so scary it should not be done again, the crowd went from non stop chanting and cheering to absolute stunned is he dead silence, it doesn't need to be done, if he just missed on the ramp it would be sick enough, head first into a guard rail is just uncalled for.

Well that was an excellent match up with superb wrestling and some lovely well thought out sequences. There was something about the pacing and something about these two that doesn't quite click for a five star match but they are very very good. I am worried though everytime I watch Nigel in a main event, twice against Danielson and twice against Aries, someone takes an absolutely scary blow or blows to the head, it makes for an incredible visual but its far too dangerous and isn't nessecary.

Perfection. This is my favorite match of all time it lost none of its impact on second viewing. Those headbutts were incredible but I'd be glad if I never saw anyone do that ever again. My only real wish is that it didn't end, my Match Of The Year 2007 by a country mile. (*****)

So there we have it, my new favorite match of all time is unsuprisingly the winner of match of the year, but as it technically was in 2007 when I do the general awards it will not be elligable. 2007 and early 08 were brilliant for ROH yet 2008 saw Gabe lose his job, I look forward to watching the PPVs and finding out why.
