ThROH The Years Episode 151 - Driven

THROH THE YEARS IS GOING TO JAPAN. Today's episode covers ROH's first ever show in The Land of the Rising Sun, Live in Tokyo. We talk about a match you should see that may have fallen under your radar before trying to figure out what a "Fight Without Honor" even is. Also, we tell you who is big in Osaka. You probably won't guess it.

One of ROH's best shows of 2007 gives ROH one of its best episodes. We cover Driven, ROH's second PPV, featuring a fun return, two great Bryan Danielson matches and a lot more. More importantly, we have an extended discussion about cereal and a classic Dave Meltzer unintentional sideswipe makes us laugh maybe the hardest in the history of the podcast. WOLFMOTHER. SCOTT D'AMORE.

This ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor talk brownies, physical media, and Gorilla Monsoon. Oh, and we also cover United We Stand, a solid B-Show with some very good matches and one that annoyed Matt. And Matt usually doesn't get annoyed! Also, can you hear Karma Chameleon during the show? Because sadly, I didn't.

On a special MONDAY NIGHT THROH THE YEARS we cover Domination, a show with a hole in it. We tell you all about the hole, but also continue a previous show's love fest, watch some top-notch tag teaming, and see Davey Richards detect dandruff. This episode is lean but not particularly mean!

It's time for ThROH The Years to review one of the better B-Shows they've seen in some time, A Fight At The Roxbury. We swoon over Kevin Steen, a new version of Danielson emerges, and we praise a building that has both pizza and air conditioning! A fun night with your boys. Or day, I don't know when you listen.

It's finally time for ThROH The Years to cover ROH's first PPV ever, Respect is Earned! In an extra long episode, we spend over an hour talking about the story behind ROH going to PPV, before covering not just the show itself, but the matches that only made the DVD. Hear who we thought had a stand out performance, see what live report review caught us off guard, and discover what segment made Trevor irrationally angry. All that and a ton more on this episode!

Today's ThROH The Years covers Reborn Again. Is it a fresh new chapter for ROH, or one of the most B-est B-shows that's ever B-een? We talk a ton about ROH's move to PPV and a contract system as well as Bryan Danielson's low key return, the Briscoes being awesome and so much more. All that and Matt and Trevor nearly come to blows debating the physical attractiveness of alt-comedy figure Connor O'Malley.

On a new ThROH The Years that goes well over ten minutes past it's alloted time, we cover Good Times, Great Memories. It's Colt Cabana's farewell show but in many ways it's a farewell to Christopher Daniels, Allison Danger, Homicide and Shingo as well. We spend extra time focusing on all of them, but still review a show with some very notable matches. I'm just realizing as I write this that we forgot at the end of the podcast to say if Good Times, Great Memories was a great event. It was. I am saying it here.

On the new ThROH The Years, we go in wild directions. Ghost Bone vs. Cow Bone! Original Pranksters! The Jim Ross Award Winner Jim Ross! It will all make sense when you hear it. Oh, we also cover The Battle of St. Paul, a show with a great crowd, the debut of some Chikara peeps, and so much more. All this and Matt expertly makes a point in 45 seconds that Trevor spent 5 minutes trying to make. I can make a mean comment like that because I'm Trevor. It's me, I'm writing this. Hello. Listen to the episode. It's fun!

On the latest ThROH The Years we talk about Fighting Spirit, the show, not the concept. The Briscoes/Steenerico feud continues, we find a great hidden gem match, and Morishima takes on Nigel for the first time. All this plus boner time machines and we re-book the Carnage Crew crapping in bags.
