That's a very stereotypical way to look at a show with a bunch of matches that are nothing like that.
What was Mike Tyson's finisher? the overhand right? anyway sometimes he'd use it once, sometimes he'd have to use it 10 or 11 times. I think people use WWE as the standard for which all wrestling should be based, and thus ROH can kinda seem kind of overboard at times by comparison. Not every ROH match is better than every WWE match or vice versa, But there are great matches by both companies.
I don't think you need to kick out of 15 or 16 different finishers to have a good match in fact maybe 2. But I like interesting chaining, a false finish maybe, some moves where I'm like "how the fuck did they do that?", some strong strikes to the point where you realize the dudes putting his body on the line, I mean look at most Danielson matches, they aren't full of 1000 kick outs, they just have a lot of great mat work, a lot of creative turns on cliches, just stuff you don't see every day.
Now of course one day in the future if wwe does ever take on a different style of wrestling and not try to compact it into their box, some other form of wrestling that's different will come along and I'll be having this same discussion, only maybe then i'll be in your shoes, dunno.
