ok so which company has had the best year yet?In your opinion. and why
I'd say the wwf in like 97 -98. The austin and attitude era was growing, lots of good stuff then. That's #1 overall. Heres the other organizations.
Wcw/nwa i'd probably say 89 from what i hear, what i seen, 96
ECW, i believe 97
Tna : to be announced at a later date
ROH: 2004, or 2007 has been bad ass imo. Best year in almost a decade. Every Show they are putting on at least 1 4 star match. Their belts actually mean something. I think if ROH can keep it up, this year may be better than the wwe's 97-98.
Will Jimmy Rave make any sort of impact in TNA?
I dont really know how they are going to use him yet. I think he would be shuffled around mid card for a while. I think if he hooks up with a faction he will do will. Had a good debut, so i think he will be alright, perhaps even x division gold, or at least get close.
Montana's MotorCity Madness 2007 Review
(Plus Backstage happenings)
Alright, here we go, there were a lot of highs and lows on this show. Overall it delivered, and no one was really dissapointed. I got there a little before 7 and stood in line with a 1-2 hundred people awaiting the doors to be open, less than 10 minutes later the doors opened. I picked up a few newer dvds and bumped into a friend of mine, who was "vip" or helping out setting up the ring. He got there about 1 o clock in the afternoon and help put up the ring. He also got to meet all the wrestlers, and said everyone was extra friendly. He also said Danielson was stretching. He asked if he would wrestle tonight, and he said maybe. I thought that was kinda cool, as my anticipation for a danielson match grew. Now for some big news. Or maybe not, but guess who was there? None other than Detroits Own Motor City Machine Guns. They walked in, talked to Cary Silken for about 5 minutes and dissapeared. Probably just catching up with old friends, but whatever. Cool to see them. Now to the preshow.
Kicked off the preshow with Ernie Osiris vs. Dingo. This was short and sweet. Dingo botched a small move, but none the less it was a good preshow match. Osiris won. 1.5 stars.
Next was Shane Hagadorn vs Kyle Durden. Again short and sweet. Hagadorn pissed off the fans, and defeated Kyle Durden. 1.5 stars again
The lights went off, time for the main show.
The opening match between was between Davey Richards and Silas Young. This match was basically a squash, but Silas put up a little fight. 2 stars
Next up was one of the more "entertaining" parts of the night as the YRR (young rich and ready) Debuted, Kenny King and Chasyn Rance. They fought everyones favorite Alex Sugarfoot Payne, and Mitch Franklin. This was another squash, but YRR looked real good. Solid mic work, and they hit some good moves. After they made short work of Payne and Franklin, they grabbed the mic again, and began to cut a promo, that is until the best wrestler in the world came out. The place was going wild. Danielson has a eye patch, as he was ready to fight. He basically said, if you are ready, im right here. First Kenny tried his luck, and got tangled into submission for 3-5 minutes, than Chasyn tried his luck, and got the shit stomped outta him. So basically 3 squash matches. 1.5's all the way around. When danielson returned, you knew the show was on.
Next up for four corner survival to see who would fight Morishima for the belt on in the show. Good match but was a little clustered / confusing to start. The ending was solid. The fans hated to see Erick stevens win, but he told the fans he'd promise to put on a hell of a show. 3 stars
Chris Hero + Friends vs Jimmie jacobs. A lot of hero antics. I thought this should have been better. I'd give it 3 stars. The opening was a little slow.
Now time for the big one, Marifuji vs El Generico. Awesome match. It lived up to the hype. Generico did a fricking flipping Van Terminator. This match was nuts. I'd say 4.25-4.5 stars. motyc.
Intermission.
Nigel + Claudio vs Whitmere + Albright. This was the let down match of the night. First Whitmore and ALbright come out wrapped in black, looking like terrorist, which leads me to think they are The project 161 people. If that wasn't bad enough they beat Nigel and Cluadio. Slower paced match, but still pretty good 2.75
Next up Rocky Romero vs Jack Evans, evans comes down and is jumped, but Evans regains himself and makes the match a street fight. Very fun match, you were they would out through the crowd, i missed the big spt of the match, but they continued it back in the ring, witha few more high points. 3.5 stars.
NExt up is Morishima vs Stevens, now the fans hated on stevens, but quickly jumped on his side by the end. Erick Stevens hit a handful of power moves as he rocked Morshima. Match was better than i expected. 3.5 stars
Time for the main event. Briscoes vs Aries + Cross. Cross started the match with some good cheers from the crowd. It featured the high flying reselience vs the tag team specialist briscoes (double team specialist) Solid match all around. Briscoes won, what a shocker 3.5 -3.75
Over all thoughts, again i thought the show delivered, i thought a few of the matches could have been longer, but the show went to almost midnight, so it was a good 4 hours of wrestling, if you include pre show. Match of the night was without question Generico vs Marifuji. Followed by about 5-6 3+ star matches. Low point was the Nigel/Cluadio vs Alrbight Whitmore match. I'd reccommand checking the show out. Final crowd looked to be about 6-8 hundred people.
