Did anyone here watch Ring of Honor in its good years from 2002 to 2009? Anything that still stands out to you over a decade later?

No.

it had no good years it was always indie bingo hall shit that only the most hardcore smarks watched

Gen next vs embassy feud

Rave vs punk feud, rave tried to scrape off punk's straight edge tattoo with a cheese grater in one of the street fights

Morishima killing manlets

Briscoes vs Steenerico feud

Jimmy loves Lacey arc

Sweet and sour inc existing

I remember watching a few times as a teenager during the whole Summer of Punk thing, the Generico vs Steen feud, and thinking Lacey was hot as hell too, but that's it. Nothing else really interested me.

I still think back on Bryan Danielson's title reign. I can't for the life of me think of a better American title reign that had as many matches of that high a caliber.

>KENTA
>The first 3 defenses against Nigel
>The first Samoa Joe match (NOT that god awful steel cage shit that happened later)
>The second and third defenses against Roderick Strong
>Both Colt Cabana defenses
>His championship crowning against James Gibson
And of course
>Homicide beating him for it
I also look back and can't believe I was cheering for fucking Homicide to take the belt from the best American wrestler at the time. Looking back, it's so silly. But it speaks to how good Bryan was at constructing a match and executing on it to either solidify himself or put the opponent over.

All of these matches are much better than 95% of the AEW matches given 5 or more stars nowadays. It was on a whole different level. And all in one reign.

Best years were the beginning of Joe's reign to the end of Nigel's reign. It was kino indie shit that felt bigger than it was. Still have about 20 DVDs lying around.

I remember loving the CZW invasion.

Not a single 5 star match. Not worth watching.

kek
It is pretty incredible how Meltzer underrated Ring of Honor the whole way through. Clearly didn't have any sources on the inside.

Joe vs. Punk II

I doubt he ever watched anything beyond some highlights of joe vs punk and maybe the two misawa matches from 2007

>All of these matches are much better than 95% of the AEW matches given 5 or more stars nowadays.
This but for some reason Dave never really even followed ROH.

There's actually five.

indy wrestling is fucking gross

This is where wrestling fans became Magic: the Gathering tier. OP and his thread reeks of obese neckbeard sweat

Hope you don't like AEW or post-2012 WWE, my friend.

wwe is better indy wrestling sucks

Steve Corino vs Homicide sticks out to me as one of the best programs the indies have ever had.

Sorry, bud. Post-2012 WWE cribs a ton from Ring of Honor.
You like Ring of Honor. You will just never know it.

Modern indie wrestling is with faggots like effy turning them into drag shows and having mandatory diversity check lists for booking cards. Mid 00s indie wrestling is kino

nah i'll keep watching wwe
