BurningBeard Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I generally view the end of the CZW feud as the end of RoH's "best promotion in the world" run I thought they had going from Reborn Stage 1 on. They didn't stop being a good promotion or anything, but it just felt like the stories they were telling from then on either kinda harmed the problem to a degree (I never bought Danielson would lose the belt to anyone till he faced Homicide), or payoffs I didn't care for (Morishimas reign ending against Nigel really soured me on them for good) I'm in agreement here, my interest seemed to casually wane off after this interpromotion fued. All the greatness before helped build up to it (Punk/Joe which remains on par with Flair/Steamboat IMO, Danielson's reign, Generation Next v Embassy), but it was definitely the watermark of ROH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
