I already know the answer to this but if you want to say I don't have any legitimacy on this point, I'll use this as a source:

02. The match-ups are less fresher than they were when Gabe Sapolsky was writing for Ring of Honor. Am I wrong?
Next Delirious Show:
http://www.rohwrestling.com/live/events/2014/feb/8/020814-san-antonio-tx
Main Event: Jay Briscoe vs. Adam Cole
Last Gabe Sapolsky Show:

Main Event: LAX vs. The Briscoe Brothers
I'm not counting match stars here but if you look at the breadth of talent Sapolsky would use and compare it to what Delirious uses, Sapolsky always tried to incorporate more guys, including bringing in people from Japan like KENTA, Marafuji, Misawa, Kobashi, Nakamura, Suzuki, and Morishima.
03. Ring of Honor killed its relationships with Dragon Gate and NOAH? Am I wrong?
Yes. The fact that a small indie company could land guys from two different Japanese promotions is a testament to the respect people had for Sapolsky. The fact that it was killed so that management could develop in-house talent like Mike Bennett and Matt Taven is a goddamn sham.
04. Match quality in Ring of Honor fallen off a cliff. Am I wrong?
From 2004 to 2008 Ring of Honor consistently delivered a match of the year contender.
04: Joe vs. Punk 2
05: Joe vs. Kobashi
06: Ryo Saito, Dragon Kid, Genki Horiguchi vs. CIMA, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino
07: McGuinness vs. Aries
08: McGuinness vs. Danielson
Not to say there weren't any good matches in Ring of Honor, but I'd love to know what your favorite match of the year from Ring of Honor was in 2013. If I haven't seen it, I'll check it out and post a credible critique.
05. Management killed the official Ring of Honor forums so that fans couldn't complain about changes. Am I wrong?
It used to be there. Now it's not.
