I Heard it was an awesome show, one of the Underrated of 06, but I haven't seen it personally although I've always wanted to get it.

Check out the Official Star Ratings Thread and scroll down to Gen. Now. There are 8 reviews of it (mine's the last one).

And Gen. Next's last match is pretty badass imo.

Generation Now is a very good show, nothing bad at all but nothing MOTY calibur either.

ROH Survival of the Fittest
2007

Survival of the Fittest Qualifing Matches

Roderick Strong vs. Brent Albright - * 1/2
Pretty dull plain vanilla match, really dissipointed me since I saw a rather good match between them from FIP recently.

Chris Hero w/Larry Sweeney vs. Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson - * 1/2
Anderson pretty much sucks, nuff said. Another dull and forgettable match.

Rocky Romero vs. T.J. Perkins - **
These guys know each other really well and mesh in styles but niether guy is someone who can really bring any emotion or storytelling to matches, so this while is not bad still comes off as a forgettable exhibition style match up.

Delirious vs. Austin Aries - ***
This is where the show starts to pick up. Pretty good match between the two and while nothing "great" is still much more enjoyable than anything else so far. Aries does a great job in countering Delrious' Cobra Stretch/

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Davey Richards - ** 3/4
Nice match that features a rather focused Davey going after Claudio's leg and later his neck, made better by some rather convincing selling by Double C (which is important for the finals).

Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson - *** 3/4
MOTN easy, these two just seem to be incapable of having a bad match with each other. Nice pacing by the two in that despite the short time limit they don't go all out with bombs (only one lariat connects in the whole match, seriously) and resort to some sick stretching, but without dragging on like the 60 min 2/3 falls from Epic Encounter II. Still maybe there worst match together in ROH.

Human Tornado vs. Shane Hagadorn vs. Tony Kozina - ** 1/4
Short but effective 3-way. Hagadorn doesn't do much and Tornado has the crowd behind him completely but Kozina seemed to me to be the guy who busted his ass the most for this match.

Non-Title Street Fight
The Briscoes vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Necro Butcher - ** 3/4
I'm pretty sure if you've ever seen a Briscoes street fight you have an idea how this goes, just add the willingness to die of the Necro Butcher and Mark Briscoe is injured so he doesn't jump off anything. There is something in this match that pisses me off really bad though and that's when Necro tigerdrivers Jay on a chair for a 2 count.... in the middle of the fucking match for no reason. Seriously if your going to do a spot like that save it for the end or at least the finishing sequence. I'm not saying the Briscoes are the only ones who do that in ROH but they seem to do it the most often.

Survival of the Fittest Finals
Roderick Strong vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Austin Aries vs. Chris Hero vs. Rocky Romero vs. Human Tornado - ***
Bottom Line: Chris is awesome! *clap clap clap*

Overall Show Rating - ** (Passable)
The first hour of this show is pretty terrible and I hardly remember much of it and I just finished watching it, but the 2nd hour on is decent, but yeah just decent save Danielson/McGuinness. Really i'd say pass on this unless you really want to see some awesome Chris Hero antics in the finals, or just want to have the whole Danielson/McGuinness fued on DVD.

Or of course if you have some sort of sick fetish for owning every DVD ever released like Platt

[ROH]

^ The crowd was so awesome for that show.

[McQueen]

Yeah they sure were...

..that venue just plain sucked especially the lighting.
