Fun opener. I've always thought highly of Cross and was very interested and how his and Daniels' styles would mesh. The match was given a fair amount of time and in that fair amount of time these two put on a very fun opening match.
2. Ricky Reyes vs. Shane Hagadorn
Meh. Nothing much to say about this math other than it was meh.
3. BJ Whitmer vs. Tank Toland vs. Colt Cabana vs. Pelle Primeau
Decent match. For some odd reason I've found myself enjoying watching Pelle. There's something about him that makes me want to stop and watch. The interaction between Pelle and the other wrestlers (especially Cabana) was fun to watch. All in all it was a decent match which met my expectations.
4. Samoa Joe & Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson & Jimmy Rave
Good match but could've been better. I liked how Dragon tried avoiding Joe at every turn. He played the heel role very well. Also, Dragon and Rave worked very well as a team and seemed to show quite a bit a chemistry together. Like I said above the match was good but could've been better. Personally I would've liked to have seen more interaction between Joe and Rave & Danielson. All in all a good match which will be enjoyed by all.
5. Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Davey Richards & Delirious
Another good match with a little comedy thrown in. As any ROH fan knows is when you see Delirious listed on a card you know no matter what comedy will be thrown into his match no matter the opponent(s) this match was no different. The match was fun and a good preview of the match to come with Daniels & Sydal vs. Davey & Delirious at BFF. However, the finish was a tad sloppy which hurt the rating slightly.
6. Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong
Yet another good match but not as good as their match from GBH V Night 2. I enjoy watching these 4 wrestle against each other. They seem to have a natural chemistry. Like I said above the match was good and really fun to watch but like the match before it the finish was bit sloppy. It was understandable but your eally need to see the match to understand what I'm calling "sloppy". Just something that left me scratching my head.
7. KENTA vs. Matt Sydal
Great match. Really fun match to watch and the best match of the night. The only thing that disappointed me about the match was the crowd during the match. They just didn't seem to like the match for whatever reason. Anyways, the match was a very good showing of just how good Sydal is and that he's got a bright future in the wrestling business. I wouldn't call this a MOTYC but it's not too far off.
8. Homicide vs. Steve Corino
Great match to end the long running feud. Much like the match before it the crowd just killed the match. I enjoyed the match but had the crowd been into it I probably would've enjoyed it more. Nonetheless the match was a fitting way to end the feud and was a fun brawl to watch. Cide working over of Corino's ear was down right brutal. All in all a good match and if you really liked their feud you'll definately like this match.
