ThROH The Years Episode 122 - Suffocation

Vomit, Grandmothers, doing the splits. On one of the weirder ThROH The Years we cover all these topics and more, as we review a fairly bizarre show known as The Battle of the Icons. Strange booking choices, violent gimmick matches, and a main event for the ages. Take your Gravol and settle in.

ThROH The Years finally starts their coverage of 2007 with our season premier! We spend a lot of time going over the coverage of the untimely passing of ROH co-founder Doug Gentry, an unheralded part of wrestling history. We then review Dedicated, a show we had a surprisingly good time watching, with an insane clap, a big goose egg, and a revelation that Trevor has never watched Good Times.

It's finally time The 2006 Year-End Show! After fourty-two episodes and over two years, we have come to the end of the year, and we cover the fantastic final show on '06, Final Battle and then give you our annual year end wrap up show full of awards, reflections, and groaning at Dave Meltzer half compliments. One of our biggest shows ever, roughly five hours. If you eat the whole thing in one sitting we put your picture on the wall.

On the new ThROH The Years we are almost at the end of 2006, starting the last double shot of events with International Challenge. It's a show with one of the scariest injuries in ROH history, the debut of a great manager, and not one, but two dated Iron Sheik references. Christopher Daniels charms us, and we sum up the dry winter of 06. GET READY FOR FINAL BATTLE.

The new ThROH The Years is here to cover the Chicago Spectacular...Night Two! It's a show that was rebooked with positive results. Trevor acts old, Matt enjoys Trevor saying a word, and the latest weird ThROH The Years syncing with modern times moment happens. We wanted to get our strap on, but were caged instead. Join us.

ThROH The Years takes on the first half of a Chicago double shot with night one of The Chicago Spectacular. The Samoa Joe/Bryan Danielson feud finally comes to a head in a cage match. How did we feel about the feud as a whole? Plus angles a plenty, a sneaky good end of show promo, and we visit Alaska. THE COUNTDOWN TO 2007 TICKS ON.

On the new ThROH The Years, first-time guest Tim Buechner (Q&T podcast) joins us to cover Dethroned, a show that gives away its biggest development in its title. We go into some lengthy digressions, compare ROH to ECW, see more weird coincidences between what we're watching and what we're living, and talk about some absolutely insane standout spots.

On a bright and sunny Tuesday Matt and Trevor came together to review Black Friday Fallout, a very B-ish ROH show. Matt plays impromptu ROH trivia! Chango loves tables! We figure out the alarm cock in real time! Who else is going to spend so much time talking about THIS show?!

On the new ThROH The Years, Albert Ching joins us to discuss The Bitter End, one of the worst shows we've reviewed. A night full of normally great promoers doing awful mic work, two long-lived storylines ending in the worst ways possible, a car that needs to be moved and a grandma that gets scared. Listen to Trevor lose his mind, Matt worry about warmth, and Albert reveal what movie he and Matt saw on that trip. This one goes some places.

On the new ThROH The Years, Joe Gagne returns to help us cover Honor Reclaims Boston, a show featuring a main event that got huge buzz at the time in some circles but hasn't been well remembered. More importantly, we talk about chalkboards, growing basil, Eyes Wide Shut and Trevor is pointlessly fake mean to Joe and yet loses in the end. Kubrick would be proud.
