Alienoid you really should check out the last year or so of Chikara if you want Hero/Claudio/Sweeney/Kingston stuff. I don't think they've ever had a tag like you outlined but they all do arguably their best work there.

It is kinda weird how ROH seems to have an awesome year, then kind of quiet/middling, then back to awesome. 2004 & 2006 were phenomenal years, 2005 & so far 2007 have been kinda meh.
That Claudio prediction is actually really likely. You might be right on with it.

CHIKARA was what inspired my idea of a Claudio & Kingston vs. Hero & Sweeney feud, actually. I've been trying to track some of it down, though, because as familiar as I am with it, I haven't actually seen too much out of CHIKARA.

This year has really been a year of change and adjustment for ROH. They've had to make some new stars to replace some departing ones, and they've done a fairly decent job. Plus there has been the move to PPV. I think ROH is its own worst enemy in a way, because every star they've really help create (CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, etc.) wants to move on to more money, and more fame, so they leave the company, and there is a vacuum to plug. ROH has managed to survive because they hang their hat on a style and a philosophy, rather than just a single wrestler, in my opinion. They're getting really good at adapting, and using what they have available to them.
