Yeah, I think they're trying to kind of make their roster a draw, giving each guy specialties and character and whatnot. The tag division's got quite a bit of character at the moment. The Briscoes are ROH's MVPs at the moment, and El Generico and Kevin Steen have got a great thing going on. I just plain love El Generico.
Takeshi Morishima is being put over as a beast, so I think they're trying to get a Samoa Joe thing with him going. It could really work out, as apparently Morishima has been more impressive in ROH than he ever was in Pro Wrestling NOAH. I'm not sure how long KENTA and Naomichi Marufuji plan to be around for, but ROH seems to be pushing them as wrestlers worth watching.
Claudio Castagnoli has great potential for ROH, too. He's got personality and some great ring skills. His fellow European, Nigel McGuinness, used to seem overrated to me, too, but he's since grown on me a lot. I've watched some of his stuff, and he's really crisp and has presence in the ring.
A lot of people dislike Bryan Danielson these days, but I'm still on board with him. Show me a bad match of his and I'll reconsider. I'm not his biggest mark or anything, but I feel the same way about him as I do Chris Benoit: He can work fantastically, and he deserves my respect.
