That's certainly the Indy mentality. Any time I watch ROH, I'll be impressed by a some of what I see, but stuff like that just takes me right out of it.

i miss the times where it was really something to kick out of a finisher. i remember the first time seeing it hapen. it was Rock/Stone Cold, each kicked out of the others finisher and that had never been done before

Fuck, I was 1001.

I think that's kind of dumb myself. I mean, at least sell the damn thing for a few minutes if you're not getting beat by it.

Gone are the days when someone like Bret Hart would sell an injury for the entire show sadly. Hell, even Bret was occasionally guilty at times, such as in his otherwise fantastic Iron Man match with HBK, where he sold an armlock like it was a lazy resthold.

They were really trying hard not to work with each other on that one. Neither guy wanted to make the other look good.
