I'm feeling much better. Just have the sniffles. Appreciate all the kind words.

I have it. I just haven't watched it.

Cole/ACH by looking at it was a match that comes across so much better live because of all the crowd interaction spots, and how much they played to the crowd.

I liked Daniels/Fish.

I had every match on the card over 3 1/4*. I had 2 matches at 4*, and 4 1/4* as my favorite. Moose vs Roddy was so smartly worked. Roddy was a really good heel here. He brought the intensity. When he would try something fancy like the sliding dropkick Moose would turn the table and smash him into the guardrail. This was laid out real well. Roddy trolling the fans with fake high fives. We got to see Moose work underneath, and his selling was good. They timed his comebacks real well, plus highlighted his big spots. 4* Now with Lethal vs Rush this was damn good too. They have something with Rush. He has an Amazing Red quality. I liked this a lot. Lethal was a dick at times in the match. I just felt he needed to turn the dial up . Lethal does the Flair touring champ gimmick, but just needed to turn dial up a little more in the dick head scale to put the match over the top. I dug Rush's last minute comeback. Ultimately, it falls a little short because Lethal isn't intense enough throughout, lack of being a Dick, and Lethal's offense being a little too cute. If Rush worked Roddy I bet that match would've hit the motyc range. This one missed the mark. 3 3/4*

I hope we get some stuff uploaded.

4/10/16 NJPW Kushida vs Will Ospreay 4 1/2* This was the best match at Invasion Attack. I loved the story of Kushida going after Ospreay's arm. Kushida was on point attacking the arm. He bent it in ways that isn't natural. He kept trying ways to get back on the arm till eventually he got the Hover Board Lock. Now this is the Will Ospreay that I've been waiting for. He showed off his charisma, his aerial moves, and finally he sold the arm. He even did spots that I've suggested on my podcast This Week In Wrestling . Their were some small hiccups, but tjis was the best I've seen Ospreay sell a limb. He even started using a more kick based offense.

Singles. I didn't do a tag ballot .

For me , guys who got helped by classics were Lothario, Gino , Wahoo, Doc, Gordy, T Funk, Harley, Magnum TA, Dibiase, Murdoch and Valentine. . Several others were helped, but still didn't make my ballot. Guerreros , Spoiler, Andre, Duggan, Reed, Condrey, and Wrestling 2 and others.

Charles in Charge is a great theme.

4/1/16 ROH Matt Sydal vs Kyle O'Reilly 4 1/4* This was a real good match. Sure we got some highspots, what made this work was slowing it down a tad so all the submission and dueling limb work got over. Sydal would focus on the leg, While O'Reilly targeted the arm. I loved how O'Reilly would go for different arm submissions. Each one was specific in building the drama. I loved the final one because it reeked of desperation.

The Steamboat/Flair thing could be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing Tully and Gino as a team. As well as Morton/Lucas

I was there in Austin and it had around 3,500 people .

Thanks everyone who listened.

They really blew it not having a presence Wrestlemania weekend. Their talent was over big.

Valentine/Wahoo should be gold. Morton/Boc. So excited about the majority of it.

Is anyone else getting routed to a go Daddy website when trying to get NWA classics?

I have become far more tolerant of this style of match over the last year to 18 months, but man do I think this is a crazy high rating. I enjoy Ricochet and Ospreay for what they are, but this felt really jokey at times, and for matches all about spot running I don't see how it could be considered in the same league as Lee v. Kamataichi. Good for what it was I suppose, but it never really grabbed me and I thought there were a couple match on that show that were pretty easily better, including Hero v. Yehi which I think is being really undersold. That's cool and live it didn't grab me. On rewatch I was shocked how much I liked It. For me it was Ricochet's work on the neck and how it played into the finish. It's what separated for me in the end.

Their were so many great matches last weekend that appealed to so many people. 6 people could pick 6 different matches as the best of the weekend.

No

3/11/16 WXW Zach Sabre Jr. vs Big Daddy Walter 4 1/4* This was pretty interesting. They work a Zach Sabre match, but Big Daddy is able to use his size and strength to force Zach to either stop or to go to places he doesn't want to go. Eventually Walter misses a big splash from the top in a big mistake. A really smart worked bout.

Terry Taylor vs Buzz Sawyer This was a pretty good match. Taylor was focusing on the arm. They worked spots around the arm bar. Hit a high spot or 2 and back to the arm. Sawyer eventually got some heat. A real good bout. I really loved the post match angle. 3 1/4*
