No, they had two different one on one matches, which is why many ROH and NJPW fans were disappointed when it looked like the IWGP defense at the crossover show was going to be those two for a third time in a few months.

No I don't know why that was listed twice. The first one was the day after the 12th Anniversary show. The second one happened in April but aired nowhere until last Saturday.

MotYC:
reDRagon v. Young Bucks
Okada v. Elgin v. Styles

I liked Liger v. Cole a lot but I think it's like a 3 3/4 star match, and Bennett v. Tanahashi had way too much Maria-related stuff to be up there for me. Still a very fun card overall.

I thought the crowd was actually pretty tame, honestly, they should've been exploding for that triple threat.

it was easily the hottest crowd a ROH show has ever had. The in-house production was just awful we couldn't hear nearly any of the promos or entrance music properly, and the sound from the crowd never picked up strongly on the iPPV. They seriously need to invest in proper sound equipment, this is bush league if this is what they plan on bringing to traditional PPV.

I wouldn't go that far because there were some ungodly hot crowds in 2006 and 2007 but this was probably the hottest I've seen a Hammerstein crowd get.

I'd say the crowd for Joe vs Kobashi was hotter for sure. They were losing their minds by the end of that match. Real shame we never got a rematch there.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.

Is Cavernario a man from a cave in the mountains of the Chihuahua region?

I've had a couple of friends from Mexico tell me stories of cannibalism in the boonies of that region. Don't know if there is any truth to them, but one didn't know the other, and they both told similar tales.

HM: Ishii vs Ibushi at NJPW: BACK TO THE YOKOHAMA ARENA 5/25

Ibushi stepped up and tried to hoss it out with Ishii and did a surprisingly great job. A couple of dangerous looking slips added to the drama, and while this never reached the heights of Ishii/Naito it was still a pretty drat good match and I highly recommend watching it.

Edit: Yeah, consider this a nthing for this as an HM.

His match with Naito was so much better (and I didn't see his match with Honma which was supposed to be incredible too). This was a good match for sure, maybe even a great one, but goddamn it has some severe competition just up against other Ishii matches alone.

I thought this was better because I was utterly horrified the entire time and spent the match screaming with a few other people on skype.

Fair enough, which is funny since I thought Makabe/Tanahashi vs Goto/Shibata wasn't anywhere close to an HM too. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

That's exactly what it is...there used to be a trio of them, and, IIRC, both Jericho and Hijo del Santo started out feuding against them doing hair vs mask and hair vs hair matches.

I wish WWE would do more hair vs hair matches.
