ROH WRATH OF THE RACKET 08/09/03
BJ Whitmer vs. Samoa Joe
Not a bad match by any means, but pretty disappointing. Early on this match showed nice potential with them feeling each other out & getting more intense by the minute, but eventually this kind of drifted into mediocre-levels w/ BJ offering nothing of note. Watching Joe do his thing is always enjoyable, and it's what made this match at least somewhat interesting by the end, but it isn't all that much when his opponent isn't doing anything interesting. **1/2

AJ Styles & Homicide vs. Christopher Daniels & Dan Maff
Nothing blow away or truly standout about this, but it's a really solid match from start to finish. Good beginning section w/ the babyfaces getting a nice shine (those stereo dives they hit at the start = so good), solid Homicide FIP segment w/ the Prophecy lads doing some pretty good work over him, complete with some Cornette shenanigans, and then a good AJ hot tag & a rock-solid 2nd, finishing gear. The kind of a match that you can call rock-solid, but ultimately it's something that you won't remember in a few days. **3/4
