=======================================================

Agree/disagree???

The only thing i dont really agree with is probably match of the year. I enjoyed Joe vs Nigel and Briscoes vs Cluadio/Sydal a lot. I thought those two were 2 of their best matches all year. Joe/Nigel may not have been the best match, but it just felt epic. TNA's best vs ROH's best. Then in the tag match it seemed very close to flawless, it didnt drag on, good finish, good solid wrestling match. I also thought Danielson vs Morishima III from GBHn2 was their best match. It may have ended in a DQ but it was still the best in my opinion because their hatred was very clear.

Well, it seems this Danielson fellow is good wrassler! :shifty: But seriously, he really need something to do. He'll turn into Chris Harris soon...

 

[Rell]

I'm looking forward to Erick Stevens in 08. He already broke-out near the end of last year, and if he keeps this up, he will be the Ring Of Honor world champion.

 

[PeepShow]

LOL, I love how people said all over the net that Man Up was one of the Top 5 PPVs of all time. (Some people said that) Then it gets tied for 7th on their own site. ROFL.

 

[Rell]

It was the best ppv of the year, not the best show of the year. The other shows were dvd releases, not pay-per-views.

owned imo

 

[PeepShow]

^I said it was a PPV, not a show. Get your facts straight. It looks like you owned yourfuckingself. :laugh:

 

[Rell]

You laughed at the fact that people said it was the best PPV of the year but it as tied for 7th as best show of the year...

This means the other shows (which weren't ppvs) we're better shows

SOOOoooo...whats so funny?

Nobody said Man Up was the greatest wrestling show of all time, some said it was the best PPV but thats about it...I WIN

 

[PeepShow]

I never even said the word SHOW in my first post. Go watch the Lakers my friend.

 

[Montana]

I agree with Rell, we've only seen 2 hours of Man Up on the PPV, other ROH shows are just as good, with 3 hours. ROH has put on about 8 great great shows this year. I agree with the top picks. Those are great shows top to bottom.

Wrestling PPV's arent what they used to be. As far as it being a top 5 ppv of all time. I think it depends how you rate a 2 hour ppv opposed to a 3 hour show. You could view the whole dvd as a ppv, in which case i think Man up could be considered a top 5 ppv.

To me, right now ROH's 2007 was like the WWE attitude era in 97-98

 

[Rell]

I'm actually watching Lakers @ NO right now, 32-22 Lakers lead...

and I won

 

[PeepShow]

How did you win? And how does Montana agree with Rell. What is there to agree on. I never sided one way. LOL, nice.

 

[Soulpower]

I'm a bit surprised that Manhattan Mayhem ranked as high as it did in the shows list. I liked MMII but I would have put FYF Finale behind Good Times, Great Memories.

And I would have added Brent Albright to the list of most improved. At first people HATED him, but just look at his match against Morishima to see how much the fans have embraced Albright. Besides, Claudio didn't improve that much, he was just booked better in 07.

 

[Montana]

I actually thought FYF Finale was over rated. It did have some great matches, moments, but overall the show didnt seem to flow as well. I thought GTGM was the best overall show. Followed my MM2 and GBH n2. I'd rank FYF fourth. It just seemed like bigger things happed at MM2 and GBH and followed like a show, where as the main highlight of FYF was Joe's last match and Briscoe vs Briscoe and was more one match to the next.

 

[Adampro123]

Out of everything i have seen i actually thought man up was the best showof the year. i have seen the DVD and it has matt sydlas last ROH match with delirious which is really good and a great womens match with awesome kong and dazie haze vs serah del ray and lacey.

as for the awards i would give match of the year to the ladder war...hell my top 5 matches of the year belonged to the briscoes.so i think they should have gotten wrerstler of the year aswell if they could have won it.
