Hey people, well..this isnt your normal review where the writer tells you exactly what hapenned move by move for every match, its more of a match by match thoughts/rating thing, and then an overall rating for the show. Lets get started:
My Thoughts: Decent openner, nothing special. It was taped for the ROH Videos online thing so they obviously werent going to make it a classic or anything. It was a decent way to start the show, and im happy Chris Hero got the victory. I personally dont care for Hallowicked, he is basically another one of those masked no character no names that I could care less about. (Same with Jigsaw)
Match Rating: **
My Thoughts: This was the return of Jimmy Jacobs...he was obviously a face back when the DVD was being taped, and it was before this whole Project 161 Age of the fall group started. It was a decent match, I loved the "your a homo" chants that were directed at Titus
Match Rating: ** 1/2
My Thoughts: Pretty good match, Adam Pearce seems to have a problem with Delirious. The Match had its good parts, and the ending was great. I love how Nigel's lariats come out of nowhere. Post match Pearce cuts a promo (he is one of the best promo cutters in ROH imo) telling BJ Whitmer to join him, it looks like he was going to refuse when he power bombed Hagadorn...but he ended up agreeing by helping Pearce staple Delirous' mask to his face. Nice Angle
Match Rating: ***
My Thoughts: The best match of the first half of the show. The stipulation was if Stevens or Cross lost they would be replaced by whoever pinned them, and if Aries lost the Resilience would break up. Overall an awsome match, Matt Cross is fucking insane in the ring
Match Rating: *** 1/2
My Thoughts: Good match, Danielson used his technical wrestling ability here and put on a nice mat wrestling match with Pac.
Match Rating: *** 1/4
My Thoughts: A very good match with tons of near falls. Claudio Castagnoli put on a great match with Morishima after Albright was eliminated. Morishima obviously retained
Match Rating: *** 1/2
My Thoughts: Awsome awsome match, lots of great spots, my favorite was the double knee thing from the top of the cage!
Match Rating: ****
My Thoughts: Another awsome match! The Briscoes and Steenerico were brawling on the outside in the beginning, and then they eventually made it into the ring. It was a bloody match with an awsome spot by Steen where he went from the top of the cage to the crowd, and the finish was awsome too! Steen was on the top of the cage and One of the Briscoes pushes him off and he goes from the top of the cage through a table! I marked out for that lol
Match Rating: **** 1/4
Additional Thoughts: This is definately worth picking up, the "Double Main Event" were both great matches. The 6 man tag was awsome (any match with Matt Cross in it is always good) and the 4 way was good too.
Overall Rating: A-

Jimmy Jacobs vs Rhett Titus
My Thoughts: This was the return of Jimmy Jacobs...he was obviously a face back when the DVD was being taped, and it was before this whole Project 161 Age of the fall group started. It was a decent match, I loved the "your a homo" chants that were directed at Titus
Match Rating: ** 1/2
Delirious vs Nigel McGuinness vs BJ Whitmer vs Adam Pearce, 4 corner survival
My Thoughts: Pretty good match, Adam Pearce seems to have a problem with Delirious. The Match had its good parts, and the ending was great. I love how Nigel's lariats come out of nowhere. Post match Pearce cuts a promo (he is one of the best promo cutters in ROH imo) telling BJ Whitmer to join him, it looks like he was going to refuse when he power bombed Hagadorn...but he ended up agreeing by helping Pearce staple Delirous' mask to his face.

Match Rating: ***
Austin Aries, Erick Stevens & Matt Cross vs Davey Richards, Jason Blade & Eddie Edwards
My Thoughts: The best match of the first half of the show. The stipulation was if Stevens or Cross lost they would be replaced by whoever pinned them, and if Aries lost the Resilience would break up. Overall an awsome match, Matt Cross is fucking insane in the ring
Match Rating: *** 1/2
Pac vs Bryan Danielson
My Thoughts: Good match, Danielson used his technical wrestling ability here and put on a nice mat wrestling match with Pac.
Match Rating: *** 1/4
Takeshi Morishima vs Claudio Castagnoli vs Brent Albright for the ROH World Title Triple Threat elimination rules
My Thoughts: A very good match with tons of near falls. Claudio Castagnoli put on a great match with Morishima after Albright was eliminated. Morishima obviously retained
Match Rating: *** 1/2
Roderick Strong vs Jack Evans Steel Cage match
My Thoughts: Awsome awsome match, lots of great spots, my favorite was the double knee thing from the top of the cage!
