Oh yes another classic match! One of my favorites.


I wish ROH was back in being this good

You know, as awesome a match-up as KENTA vs Dragon always where, I have to say KENTA vs Joe might’ve been an even better match-up. Just two badasses beating the shit out of each other. That’s all I really want out of my pro wrestling.

Also, something struck me here that I never really thought of when watching ROH back in the day: the way Prazak and Leonard seamlessly switch the role of doing play by play and colour is really impressive. Most announce teams would either start bumbling over each other, or just stick to their designated pbp/colour role, but these two just tag in and out of each other’s sentences like they where twins.

The audio is weird. On 1 side is the commentary, the other the crowd, while listening with headphones. Great match though! 👍 👌 ✊

[mijinko-oyabun]

KENTA's costume and hairstyle from this time are the coolest

[mhck]

I was in the building for this. Not so fun fact: Sasha Banks husband wrestled on this card

[iriszalvarado]

Dream matches: Kenta vs Samoa Joe in a falls count anywhere match: Bryan Danielson vs Tyler Black (seth rollins): Rodrick Strong vs Kevin Steen in no holds barred match

[GEORGEDECASTROJR.-ekmm]

All wrestling in America is my favorite specially WWE & NXT GOD BLESS TO ALL WRESTLER IN AMERICA

If there is one Gaijin that can go toe to toe with KENTA. It's Samoa Joe...!!! He is deceptively quick for a 300 pounder. And his amateur and martial arts skills are incredible.

[tomtalker]

Plus, Joe knows how to wrestle the Japanese style. It's completely different than here in the states. But he's been over there so much he knows it very well. Many gaijin wrestlers have a hard time assimilating to that style. But not someone like Joe. He's also very proficient in speaking Japanese.

[paulmax]

Curious to know if anything happened between Joe and Danielson after the match. Danielson seemed to be a real SOB in this match so I figure he would blame Joe for the loss.
