Anniversary Week
Seriously a shitload of good looking matches, but the interesting one is Aries/Joe. They aren't saying much to hype it which makes me think Joe is winning. Kayfabe-wise it would be silly for him to lose to Aries twice in a row after going 2 years without losing a singles match. He only lost to Aries because he took him lightly in the match, so if he comes prepared and wins it makes plenty of sense.

Going into 12/26 everyone said Aries would lose, and then win it 6 months later when it's built up. This is an interesting way of doing the same thing...actually give him a win over Joe, and then build him up for a win through a feud with Shelley and the other Gen Next guys who are surely turning on him soon.

i think a more interesting scenario, would be an angry joe brawling his way to a dq loss or no contest. i think the best choice for champ at this point would be low ki. as the eventual ki .vs. joe match would mean more if the title wason the line.

Six Man Tourney teams for 3/5
(Anonymous)

1. Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Vordell Walker
2. Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Jack Evans
3. Homicide, Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero
4. CM Punk, Steve Corino, Colt Cabana
5. Spanky, James Gibson, Nigel McGuiness
6. The Embassy
7. Dunn, Marcos, Generico
8. ROH students

*I really like the Gen Next team, Rottweilers, Saints/Corino, Ring Crew Express + Generico, and The Embassy is fine.

*Disappointed that the ROH students are in this. You might as well give a team a bye. How is ROH going to determine the bracketing? You would think the team with the ROH Champ and probably the best team on paper (Gen Next) would draw the weakest team in the Students. Nobody wants to see that though.

*Why Vordell Walker with Joe and Danielson? This may be more aggravating than the Students being in the tournament. That spot has gotta be Lethal! His Pure Title run can wait. The Pure Title sucks anyways. Give Walters a few more shows to get over his African character, then have Lethal get his rematch in May at the New York show. Lethal could have been an amazing face-in-peril during the Semis or Finals of this tourney. Who didn't wanna see that trio vs. The Rottweilers? Now we get Vordell "hardly anyone in the Northeast knows me" Walker. Yay.

*Nigel McGuiness is a member of the Dream Team? Way to disappoint people further, ROH. Please, tell me this is a Plan B or Plan C. Why wait all that time to name the 3rd member and tell us it is Nigel?

Sorry, if it seems like I am complaining way too much. Had high hopes for this tourney and other than RCE + Generico I am down about the other additions to this tourney.

I'm hoping the bracketing will be like:

Gen Next
RCE + Generico

The Dream Team
The Embassy

Rottweilers
Saints + Corino

Joe, Danielson, Walker
Students

Gen Next, Dream Team, Rottweilers, and Joe's team wins. Gen Next vs. Joe's team in the Finals.
