I ordered ROH All-Star Extravaganza VIII

[Mr. Nerfect]

I used to really enjoy loosely following the ROH product, but at some point, things began to lose their appeal a bit. I'm not sure if it was a change in creative, a lot of the major players moving on, or the general ring style around the world kind of adapting a lot of what ROH was presenting, but the overall product seemed to lose its luster.

Then I saw this promo:



I want to reward this man for grabbing my attention in a world where it would seem easier to do it with loud noises, silly gimmicks or ridiculous matches. As a fan of professional wrestling, I want to show my appreciation for this man. I've been a general fan of Christopher Daniels, but have only witnessed him in the quintessential classics from TNA's glory years. I will now get to see a more mature Daniels put his body, livelihood and legacy on the line in a Ladder War.

The Young Bucks are also in the match, and they're an act that annoys me, and there's an irony to me ordering a PPV to support Daniels' old-school, grounded, emotional promo when two of his opponents at the event are the opposite, but I'm giving it a shot.

My expectations for the show are...rather non-existent. I'm expecting solid matches and perhaps something similar to the WWE style with a bunch of guys I have never seen before. I am hoping that having this blank slate and not being too hyped for it will help surprise me. Wish me luck.
