Oh, when watching the Roderick Strong match, when he's out side the ring near the guardrail and you hear someone yell "Go to hell Roderick, Go to hell" That's me. I didn't think my voice would be picked up, it made me happy.

I only hope that during the main event, my scream of "GO TO SLEEP pup" at Danielson gets picked up. I doubt it seeing as I was 8 rows back, but it was loud as hell.

Here's how spoiled my two best friends (and ROH regulars) are: they're pissed about second row in the city, something which has never happened to them. I'm just happy to be there. Haha, I know people like that too. One of them felt bad about getting me 2nd row, and I was like "Uhhhh, but this is awesome".

For the Chicago PPV?
Bryan Danielson v. Nigel McGuinness (taped 6/9 in Philadelphia and easily worth the $10/$15 price of the PPV by itself, it was that good.) Delirious, Erick Stevens, and Matt Cross v. The No Remorse Corps Matt Sydal v. Claudio Castagnoli Naomichi Marifuji v. BJ Whitmer Brent Albright v. Pelle Primeau ROH World Championship: Takeshi Morishima v. Jimmy Rave ROH Tag Team Championship: The Briscoes v. Kevin Steen and El Generico

Now why does Pella gotta get beat down?
In Dayton we chanted "pelle's gonna kill you" at Rave, and it was the exact opposite.
Albright could hurt him way more, so for the love of god, don't chant at Brent.

Well...since I taped it, I showed the PPV to my uncle.
Actually, I tried to show it to my uncle.
He hated it. Completely, utterly hated it.
His main criticism is that the matches are...here it comes...TOO LONG.
See, the matches go on when they should have ended a while ago...his main complaint being the "waste of time" that was Briscoes Vs Claudio/Sydal.
"Yeah, they got those big impressive moves, but the match was nothin' but fireworks. And it took too long to get to the fireworks."
...
I guess everyone has a right to an opinion.

Exactly why ROH isn't for everyone. They have a tendency to get lengthy on some occasions.

I understand his comments. I don't feel that way, but I understand. WWE = glimmers of hope...ROH = Faith restored

Just saw Shima vs BJ. A little too squashy for my tastes.

Marufuji vs Rocky was INSANE! I hope they get a handful of rematches. The squat off was great too!

I liked Rocky/Marufuji better then Sydal/Claudio vs Briscoes but it was a good match. And I always expected Lenny Leonard to have an afro for some reason.

Adam Pearce reminds me of Top Dollar from The Crow. Casual fans will probably see him as a Raven wannabe, though.

BJ Whitmer reminds me more and more as to what Tommy Dreamer was to the original ECW. That was a perfect example.

Just for the curious, Dave Meltzer has weighed in with his ratings for the PPV matches of Respect Is Earned:
(This is courtesy of the ROH boards)
Takeshi Morishima v. BJ Whitmer: not rated due to its shortness Rocky Romero v. Naomichi Marifuji: ***3/4 Mark and Jay Briscoe v. Claudio Castagnoli and Matt Sydal: ****1/4 Roderick Strong v. Delirious: ***1/4 Takeshi Morishima and Bryan Danielson v. KENTA and Nigel McGuinness: ****
