Glory By Honor was what got me back into it, quality-wise, but I know the feeling. I probably would have ordered Final Battle anyway if I hadn't been going to the show, but the more that I think about it, the only matches there that I was super-hyped for were the Ladder War and Roddy vs. Elgin. These two shows (especially Defy Or Deny II, but also the Dearborn show) were the first time I have felt excited about more than one match at a non-iPPV since Glory By Honor last year, and that felt like a clear signal to me that the days of house-shows like we got last year (especially everything from Battle of RIchmond until Killer Instinct) are gone. I head someone say recently that under Cornette it felt like only one match per show was "allowed" to deliver, and even if that match did deliver it might not be enough to sell the DVD, and the ones that did sell were shows like Brew City Beatdown which kind of just got lucky that the rest of the card was so solid.
