SHIMMER Athlete Of The Year:
1) Sara Del Rey

Mi sembra tutto logico... a parte l'overrating di MCMG Vs Briscoes e l'underrating di Danielson Vs KENTA.

Direi anche una generale tendenza a snobbare i PPV in favore degli "altri" shows. Perchè, per esempio, per carità, per quanto sia stato valido GTGM, ma Driven per me è un'altra cosa.

Considerando anche la parte non PPV, non c'è dubbio. E cmq Finale mi è piaciuto di più rispetto a GTGM.

Anche a me. E anche United We Stand, che non han minimamente cagato, per me è stato uno degli shows + belli dell'anno.

La classifica, a parte qualcosina, non è male.
Quoto su MCMG vs. Briscoes, è davvero sopravvalutato.

Altra cosa che non mi va giù: non avrei messo come MVP i Briscoes, già Tag Of The Year gli bastava, a mio modo di vedere.

Direi che non è assolutamente una classifica alla cazzo di cane, anzi. Come avete già sottolineato, ci sono pochi dettagli qua e là che possono non essere condivisibili del tutto. Giustissimo il MOTY a mio avviso. Non condivido il fatto che GTGM sia lo Show of the Year: io avrei votato per FYF Finale.

Cmq, ripeto: non ci sono stronzate incredibili come in altre classifiche.

Check the main page of www.ROHwrestling.com for details, but act now because the 33% off sale ends this Wednesday morning.

January 14th: Erick Stevens had a groundbreaking weekend in Boston and Edison as he defeated both Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson to retain his FIP World Heavyweight Title. Stevens credits being a champion as pushing him to up his game and reach the next level. Stevens really showed the fans of Boston and Edison what kind of character he is when he insisted on pinning both of his top notch challengers. Stevens is just getting started. He has agreed to make his already scheduled 1/25 bout in Dayton against Davey Richards a FIP World Heavyweight Title Match. We are watching a young talent emerge in Erick Stevens.

January 14th: The tests for Stevens will continue on 1/26 in Chicago. Austin Aries has challenged Stevens to a Dream Partner Tag Team Match. Stevens has accepted. Aries has revealed his choice to be Bryan Danielson. These two competitive rivals showcased what kind of teamwork they are capable of on 12/30 in Manhattan. Stevens has countered by choosing a man that he teamed up with to gain a big win last time in Chicago. It will be Aries & Danielson vs. Stevens & Jay Briscoe on 1/26 in Chicago. Save 33% on tickets now.

January 14th: One pair of belts that won't be on the line in Manhattan are the Intergender Heavyweight Tag Team Titles Of The World that Larry Sweeney introduced last Saturday in Edison, NJ. Sweeney crowned his clients Chris Hero & Sara Del Rey as the first champions. This is what is known as "agent talk." It is just a ploy so Sweeney can say his clients have more credentials so he can justify raising their fee. Sweeney told ROH officials to raise ticket prices so his new "champions" can be paid more. ROH officials have stood up to Sweeney and told him that they refuse to recognize these obviously ridiculous titles. Sweeney says that we have not heard the last of this issue.

January 14th: ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness will defend the ROH World Title against Go Shiozaki at the historic Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan on January 20th. Check the article on the main page of www.ROHwrestling.com for much more information including some info on Shiozaki coming to ROH.

January 14th: Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black retained the ROH World Tag Team Titles in an insane Ultimate Endurance last Friday in Boston. The match was so wild that ROH wants to bring it to the Midwest. All the factions and teams are running neck-to-neck as challengers. The scheduled Tag Team Scramble in Chicago will now be changed to an Ultimate Endurance. It is elimination rules. The first fall with all four teams is a Tag Team Scramble, the second fall with the remaining three teams will be I Quit and the third fall with the last two teams will be for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. No one can present action like ROH and Ultimate Endurance fueled by faction warfare.

January 15th: Jay & Mark Briscoe dominated the ROH tag team scene for the past year. However, now they find themselves in an underdog role. Do The Age Of The Fall have their number? There is very little for The Briscoes to be excited about these days, but they sent word that they are really looking forward to their 1/25 Dayton bout against Jack Evans & Ruckus. Evans & Ruckus responded by saying this will be state-of-the-art tag team wrestling in Dayton. Save 33% on tickets to this and all ROH live events now at ROHwrestling.com.

January 15th: Keep an eye on Claudio Castagnoli this year. He made it clear last Saturday in Edison, NJ that he plans to make a serious run at the ROH World Title this year. Castagnoli has all the tools to be champion. This will definitely be a story to watch.

January 15th: Tyler Black has posted a new blog at http://projectonesixone.blogspot.com/ and it is also linked from AgeOfTheFall.com. They used their power as ROH World Tag Team Champions and demanded that we plug it.

January 15th: ROH "Undeniable" PPV is set to premiere this Friday on iN DEMAND, The DISH Network and TVN cable systems. Witness history for yourself!!!

This battle of former tag team partners is getting rave reviews from the few journalists that have seen an advanced screener of the PPV. Don't take our word for it, check this out: "This was an incredible match that exceeded all of my expectations. Strong and Aries were both awesome here." - Sean Radican at PWTorch.com

Voti da n00b/poser.

January 20th: Nigel McGuinness retained the ROH World Title against Go Shiozaki yesterday in Tokyo, Japan at the historic Korakuen Hall. McGuinness sent word that he couldn't be more ready for his Steel Cage World Title Match against Chris Hero this Friday in Dayton. McGuinness says once he finishes off Hero for good, he will silence Roderick Strong this Saturday in Chicago. Strong insists that he will break his World Title curse and finally win the World Title on Saturday. This will easily be Nigel's toughest weekend as Champion, but after defeating Shiozaki and keeping the prestige of the belt high in Japan, he now has momentum.

January 20th: We are sorry to report that The Necro Butcher will not be able to make this Friday's event in Dayton. He will still be in Chicago. Jimmy Jacobs told the Age Of The Fall followers not to despair. Jacobs sent word that he has recently heard from a top talent that is not in ROH that believes in the Age Of The Fall cause. Jacobs says that this man has a reason to hate society. This individual will team with Jacobs in Dayton on Friday against Roderick Strong & Rocky Romero. Jacobs would not give us any other hints as to who it is besides the fact he has been a champion in other promotions, he has a reason to rebel against society and he is not on the current ROH roster.

Qualcuno vuol provare a sparare qualche nome?

January 30th: The FIP World Heavyweight Title Match for the 6th Anniversary Show on 2/23 in Manhattan has been signed. There will be a huge FIP Title rematch on 2/16 at the FIP event in Crystal River, FL (www.FullImpactPro.com for info) pitting champion Erick Stevens vs. the man he defeated for the title Roderick Strong. Since there is no telling whether Stevens or Strong will walk into Manhattan as champion an interesting match has been signed for 2/23. Last time in New York, Stevens vs. Strong tore the house down. Now 2/23 will see another rematch between these two, but with a different twist. ROH will celebrate its birthday with Stevens vs. Strong vs. The Necro Butcher in a one fall winner take all no DQ three-way!!! Get tickets now at ROHwrestling.com.

January 30th: Tyler Black wrote in his blog at www.AgeOfTheFall.com that Joey Matthews will return to ROH on 2/22 in Long Island and 2/23 in Manhattan. We have learned that Matthews vs. Kevin Steen has been signed for Manhattan!!!
