Random ROH thoughts

1. Although everyone has been raving about the Dragon Gate 6 Man match at Supercard of Honor, some of the tag team matches involving ROH guys are just as good if not better. On any other weekend Strong/Aries vs. Blood Generation, Styles/Sydal vs. Do Fixer, Aries/Evans vs. the Briscoes and Styles/Sydal vs. The Brsicoes would be raved about as matches of the year.

2. Despite being a disappointing champion, Austin Aries might be the top babyface in ROH right now. The fans just love him and his work is more than keeping up with his popularity.

3. Does anyone hit a hot tag better than Roderick Strong?

4. There will never be another Samoa Joe in ROH. He truly is the heart and soul of the company. Having him involved in the ROH vs. CZW feud really shows that it is something the fans should care about and not just a mid card feud.

5. Bryan Danielson might just be the perfect world champion. You love to hate him because of his supreme arrogance, but also love to watch him wrestle (whether it be him stretching someone like Jack Evans or getting a beating from Roderick Strong).

6. Samoa Joe vs. Bryan Danielson will be all kinds of fantastic when it happens. The slow build is just whetting the fans appetitie right now.

7. Colt Cabana vs. Bryan Danielson going for 2/3 falls in Chicago in August could well see the first title switch of 2006. Cabana has been on such a roll this past year, he deserves to be champ.

8. Who thought BJ Whitmer would become a top level guy? Whether it's his sacrificial lamb role in the ROH vs. CZW feud or his crazy rivalry with Jimmy Jacobs, a BJ Whitmer match is no longer a reason to hit the fast forward button.

9. Davey Richards is the next big ROH star.

10. Now that TNA have their X Division rankings system which concepts will they steal from ROH next? Let's hope it's not a talent raid and a ban on TNA guys working ROH.
