Irish Airborne vs. Shane Hagadorn & Keith Walker
This was good for what it was and it was good to see Hagadorn getting some backstage promo time running down the other ROH students.
Nigel McGuinness vs. Conrad Kennedy III (ROH Pure Title Match)
Surprising "CK3" chant before the match starts. Pretty decent match. Nigel rules and CK3 looks decent but not quite ready for ROH yet.
Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Colt Cabana & Ace Steel
Solid tag-match.
Samoa Joe vs. Davey Richards vs. Delirious vs. Jimmy Rave (Four Corner Survival)
This was a lot of fun and everyone played their role well. Davey had some great runs in this match and really stole the show IMO. Can't wait to see more of him in ROH.
Adam Pearce vs. Necro Butcher (Falls Count Anywhere)
This was a fun little brawl, very typical of the ROH/CZW feud. Claudio interferes which leads to Claudio vs Cide...
Homicide vs. Claudio Castagnoli
This was a fast paced bout and I think it benefited both guys. I enjoyed this a lot and the story of the match continued to hammer home the point that ROH needs Homicide to beat CZW in their feud.
Bryan Danielson vs. BJ Whitmer vs. Jimmy Jacobs (ROH World Title Elimination Match
This was a solid title match with a good backstory between Whitmer and Jacobs and also with Danielson having lost a 3-way match in his last match.
KENTA vs. Roderick Strong
Highly enjoyable match that was really fun. Would probably have been a little better if they had shaved off about 5 minutes and just went after a little bit more of a sprint/slugfest type match but being that it was the Main Event it probably dragged on for just a bit more than it should have. Still a really fun and hard hitting match that you should check out.
Verdict:
Good but not great show. Not a must have but a good watch with the entire show being solid from open to close but nothing at MOTYC status.
