The Backseat Boyz vs The OutKast Killahs
In RoHs first doubleshot the Backseat boys had the curtian jerker job on both nights, however on this night they got us off to a good start. Basically a squash match, but with the Killahs showing a little more skill than they usually do in there matches. very quick but Fun
Rating: ** (Still Very Much Worth Watching)
Homicide vs John Walters
This is the first match of the Future vs Present series of the evening and MAN what a great way to start it. This isnt the first time this two met as they were both in the Night of Grudges Four Corner Survival Match. This was a great match for both men as Homicide showed off a lot of technical skill and Walters showed a lot of quickness and good knowledge of Chain wrestling. Great match, and id like to see these two hook it up again soon (did they have a more recent singles match that i havent seen?)

The Sat vs The Carnage Crew vs Special K vs Fast Eddie and Hostuff Hernandez
In a huge change from War of the Wire the next night, Hotstuff and Fast Eddie looked AWESOME in this match. I was quite suprised that they didnt pull out the win in this one. Im also curious as to why we havent really seen much of the TWA kids since this weekend (although Fast eddie is booked in the Scramble Cage Melee). This also has the Cloudy incident which didnt take away from the match, but killed my respect for the Sat. Really good quick scramble, but the Sat really took it down, as it could have been a lot better

Christopher Daniels vs Jimmy Rave
This weekend was GOLD for Jimmy Rave as he had a great match here with Daniels, and a mat classic the next night with Punk. This match really showcased both mens ability to work a body part and SELL. It also had a good mix of quickness, near falls and some good high flying as well. Best match of the Night to this point
Rating: ***1/2
Steve Corino vs Josh Daniels
Probably the worst intro for Steveo Corino as they run down a list of Midget wrestlers (mocking daniels size). A very good match for both men, but definitly the worst wrestling wise out of the three Future-Present matches. Some good near falls towards the end and real good charisma from Corino and wrestling from Daniels. THe intefernece by Homicide was less violent than i think it should have been for Daniels to get the Victory. Good match for both men none the less
Rating: **1/2
Matt Stryker vs Xavier
Out of ALL the matches in the Field of Honor (and i do believe ive seen them all now) this match is the BEST, in my opinon. Both men go all out and really showcase there "All Around" Skill. Really intense back and forth match that had me questioning who would win...when i already knew. Thats the kinda match i love
Rating: ***1/2
Maff vs Whitmer vs Cabana
A series of cool moves for the most part, with some really innovative double teams and a good portion of stiffness. No real flow or story told during the match though, but still hella fun to watch
Rating: **
Briscoe Brothers vs AJ Styles/Samoa Joe
Great Tag Team match with four of the BEST in ring of Honor tearing it up and pulling off one of the greatest tag team matches in RoH History. Awesome work by all four men to pull of an exciting, innovative, fast paced match that had me on the edge of my seat.
Rating: ****1/2
CM Punk vs Raven
A real change from there Clockwork Orange House of CRAP match at Beating the Odds, as this one was about half the length (although about three minutes longer than the version of the match that made it on the Beating the odds VHS/DVD) and only uses two weapons: a Chair and the Cage itself. Good wrestling, brawling and psychology in this one. Blows away the first cage match, but isnt as EPIC as everyone wanted the feud ending match to be. Kind of a Let Down, but not as much of one as Beating the Odds
Rating: ***
Overall: All of the matches on this show are good, and Xavier vs Styrker, Rave vs Daniels and The Tag Title match are all GREAT. Definitly a show that isnt talked about enough and is totally worth watching
