Smile. Win. Yay!

I'll be honest I thought that match already happened, isn't Yuka the next challenger?

It seems an awfully long way away to bring Yuka over more than two months ahead of the pape

They would have done something sooner but at the last minute Athena decided she needed the extra 2 months to find a better way to stick googly eyes to her entrance gear after the disappointment at the last ROH show.

I'm guessing it'll be on the first ROH taping, whenever that happens.

Yeah, the tributes from Joe and then Adam Cole were brutal. Speaking of, though, right after that is Cole and Briscoe from Final Battle 2014.

e: going from Adam Cole's moving, heartfelt tribute to a promo he cut in... 2014 I guess? where he talks about hating everything about Jay is pretty funny.

Oh god, you've never seen the CZW vs ROH feud? That is possibly the highpoint of indie wrestling for me. Or poo poo, US wrestling fullstop, 2006 ROH was just on fire from Hell Freezes Over all the way to Final Battle (OK, the main event of HFO is a little weird with Danielson against Hero in Chris Hero's 1st ever ROH match, they'd been feuding on the forums & Live Journal because it's 2006, exchanging words & then they wrestle a pretty good but kind of heatless technical match, but small gripe).

I remember someone uploading every match & angle from that feud somewhere, I'll see if I can find it

Thanks, I'd appreciate that! I've actually seen very little of peak ROH simply because I wasn't watching wrestling at that time, so I'd value any opportunity I could get to catch up.

Great main event of Claudio/Daniels to cap off the show, possibly the best match the latter has had since joining AEW.

I'd love to see a full compilation of the CZW vs. ROH feud from 2006 at one point. One thing that really stuck out to me was how smoothly they managed to book the big Cage of Death blowoff to immediately set up a main event feud for the rest of that year.

Anyway, one of the tributes that really got me for some reason was Austin Gunn, talking about being in the ROH dojo in 2018, helping take care of Jay's cut up back after the match.

This is the first Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero match. I don't think it was the start of the ROH vs CZW feud though. I think CZW had Best of the Best 6 first and a few ROH wrestlers were on the show.

Best of the Best was a few months later. Danielson/Hero was the first big match in the feud. CZW ran earlier in the day and Danielson showed up there. Hero had called Danielson out the month before at Cage of Death which set everything in motion.

Also, if I remember right, the Danielson call out was the brain child of Mike from Smart Mark Video who was helping to book CZW at the time, and Zandig found out, was pissed, and fired him.

Meanwhile, the whole thing made CZW the hottest it had been since the early 2000s, and maybe full stop since?

that was the feud that got me into collecting ROH! I was so bummed when CZW didn't really do anything with their shows.

CZW has historically only been good for their deathmatch tournament and the Cage of Death. When Emil Jay was running their dojo wars stuff, that was great too. I'm honestly surprised the company is still around.

You're right, my bad. The CZW show I was thinking of was "An Afternoon of Main Events." I remember the message boards going crazy for that.

I vaguely remember Zandig threw Burns down a flight of steps but I can't find anything on the internet to corroborate that.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Briscoes had one of the best Sinclair era TV matches, shocking I know. But they basically did their version of a Hardy compound match on their ranch, so more violent, less absurd. Well other than the fact that Sinclair made them put a DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME bug at the bottom of the match over and over again which was pretty funny.
