I like it.
Gabe has been saying from the start that these would be authentic ROH shows with ROH matches and rivalries, this card reflects that and I think it should be a good one.
Can't wait to see the night 1 NOAH card.

Not at all bad, I kinda wish more DG guys were involved, but the action should be up 10 fold so no complaints for either show unless they make notice of the subject to change. Six matches though, not to complain at all, but usually ROH borders at seven... so I suspect one more match, but I dunno if that will be the case.

I'm not too impressed. Don't get me wrong, the card looks alright but I thought these shows would be huge? I was expecting like Danielson/Morishima and Richards/KENTA II or something.

Why would they do Danielson/Morishima & Richards/KENTA II in a Dragon Gate themed card? Also, why am I not surprised you aren't too impressed? |

I'm just upset we're not getting Nigel/Yokosuka, as the Lariat battle could have been phenomenal. Also, no Genki Horiguchi is sad. Still, the card looks clutch. I'm not too impressed. Don't get me wrong, the card looks alright but I thought these shows would be huge? I was expecting like Danielson/Morishima and Richards/KENTA II or something. This is the card for ROH/Dragon Gate. ROH is working in conjunction with NOAH on Night 1 so those matches could be used for that (although I'd hate if they did Danielson/Morishima without any build) |

Allegedly there is still more to be announced, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Yeah Tazmission has a true point. Regardless of this card, and the authentic display they were going for, NOAH is gonna partially kill this shows hype. Mainly due to dream matches instead replaced by matches we know can deliver but could have or can see in the States.  |

This is by far my favorite card that ROH has announced for 2007. I can see this tour being a great success.

Allegedly there is still more to be announced, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I would have to think so. 6 matches is a little on the short side. |

There's only two matches on the card that interest me and thats the six man tag and CIMA & KENTA vs Richards & Romero. The rest of the card is bleh. Nigel/BJ will more than likely suck, Danielson/Rave matches have never been that good, in fact they bore me to death. Strong/Evans will be the same as the last two is Evans ever gonna get a win over Strong? |

What happened on night 1? The card isn't announced yet. They probably have it made though. I might be wrong. |

They might be waiting to get through the doubleshot with all the big NOAH guys to announce anything specific.
I'd imagine KENTA/Richards II is on that show. I'd be kind of shocked if it's not.

They could have done SO much more with the talent they have. May card...with that talent:
7/17/2007 Osaka, Osaka Prefectural Gym 2nd Stadium
1. SHINGO vs. Delirious
2. Four Corner Survival: Jack Evans vs. Nigel McGuinness vs. BJ Whitmer vs. YAMATO
3. Bryan Danielson vs. Rocky Romero
4. ROH World Tag Team Titles: Jay & Mark Briscoe © vs. Roderick Strong & Davey Richards
5. Dragon Kid, Ryo Saito, Matt Sydal vs. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, & Jimmy Rave
6. CIMA vs. KENTA
Matches 2 (if worked like the Dayton 6MM), 3, 5, and 6 could all be MOTYC's, and maybe even 4 (see Briscoes/Aries & Strong @ Unified). DG vs. NOAH has happened before (see Morishima vs. SHINGO) so I'm sure both sides would have no problem if they were asked to job [as DG has jobbed to NOAH in a lot of their last meetings]), and the other matches continue with stories and make sense.
I mean...if I can book that, why can't Gabe? The first card does seem really lack-luster to me (not lack-luster in general, but compared to what it could have been).

The part I'm upset at is the fact that Generico will be over in Japan during these dates and isn't even booked.
