My Thoughts
It's been a long time since I have paid any attention to ROH and it's product. I pretty much lost interest in not only ROH, but wrestling as a whole a few years ago. But like all you guys know, the itch came back. First I started watching my old WWE dvds and the fever took over. I became obsessed again. I was watching whatever I could from the E.
Then I really started focusing in on tag team wrestling, which has always been a favorite of mine, and here's where the WWE falls extremely short. It's well-documented that the E isn't a huge fan of tag teams. They have had some great amazing teams and fail to really use them properly, so I started thinking about where I could get my tag team fix and i recalled the last ROH show I went to, Honor Reclaims Boston, and it's terrific main event match of KENTA & Davey Richards vs. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong. So I began looking back into ROH and it took over. So much has happened since I stopped paying attention!
I first got into ROH right around the time of the first Epic Encounter. I saw the internet explode when Bryan Danielson and Paul London had their legit 5* 2/3 Falls match. I started following the promotion intensely and went to my first ROH show at the 2nd Anniversary Show, cheereing on AJ Styles as he won the tournament to be crowned the first Pure Wrestling Champion! I remained a huge fan until Final Battle 2006. For some reason I was never a huge fan of Homicide and when he won the title I became uninterested and didn't really follow ROH as closely.
Wrestling as a whole became very uninteresting for me and I stopped watching and caring, but the fire was still there just very very dim. That all changed recently when I stumbled across my old Bret Hart dvd and I had the biggest urge to watch his insanely good match against Mr. Perfect for the IC title. After that I was completely hooked again and have been since. I just recently purchased the two new Briscoe Brothers DVDs (I do love me some tag team wrestling) and the Punk vs Joe Trilogy DVD. I can't wait to watch them and really get back into Ring Of Honor!!!!
