March 6, 20169 yr comment_5731595 Jay Briscoe vs. Bryan Danielson A damn fine opener that did its job - get the blood flowing for the crowd, but don't have a MOTYC, and keep the match logical. These two could have easily main evented a show and had a ****+ match. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the Briscoes vs. Samoa Joe & Danielson match on the next show. This also happens to be on Danielson's new ROH comp. Rating: ***1/2
January 22, 20187 yr comment_5828940 I'm running through that mentioned Danielson ROH comp now, and I agree that this was a really good match to open a show. I also enjoyed CM Punk on commentary. These two had good chemistry and I thought Briscoe had a strong presence about him.
November 16, 20204 yr comment_5932094 Such an awesome opener. Starts off with some very nice, charming technical wrestling that covers the first half of it. Then they eventually start unloading the more heavy offense & things get a bit more intense, and it's equally awesome. ***1/2
December 5, 20222 yr comment_5995318 Not a match I'd usually watch, but I wanted to see out the year with some Danielson. Neat opener. I've never seen the Briscoes before. This had an old-school feel to it. Danielson actually reminded me quite a bit of Backlund in this match. Briscoe hung with Danielson in a fundamentally sound way that reminded you of studio matches of days gone by. Danielson didn't do anything terribly amazing, but I liked the flow here. I'm glad I decided it to watch it.
