About as well booked as something can be.<br /><br /><br />I agree with you about London vs. Joe. Watching all the ROH shows leading up to this match I was so excited to see it because London was killing it and having the best matches of anyone in ROH for 6 months and Joe was doing well as champion. I think what hurt the match is that they just made it a typical Samoa Joe title defense. Most of Joe's title defenses in this era were the same length, same formula and usually I rated them all the same. They could have made this match truly special if they got out of the usual Joe routine and made it something different. London using his speed and high flying to get progressively more desperate and more desperate and having Joe on the ropes and Joe not being able to put the bastard away before finally London gets demolished at the end would have been great.<br /><br /><br />Instead it was just a Samoa Joe match so ***1/4 is about right. The best Joe matches are the ones that buck his usual formula. His debut with Loki, his matches with Punk, his match with Kenta was just a once in a lifetime. Even his early matches with Dragon were standard Joe matches. You reviewed them and mentioned neither reached greatness and I agree. Did Joe and Danielson face off after that?<br /><br /><br />The only great Joe match I've seen(and granted I've only watched 2002-mid2004 completely) other than those I've listed that was truly great was his cage match he had against one of the Briscoe brothers. It was great despite being the basic Joe formula. <br /><br /><br />Great show but it is really really long.Art Vandelaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-52521700054698678052015-02-08T00:08:31.277-07:002015-02-08T00:08:31.277-07:00Becky Bayless is smoking hot.
