Actually, it is! Not a full review, but...
Joe vs Kobashi- You've seen it, nothing else needed.
Homicide vs Jack Evans- This was mainly used to continue the new Colt vs Homicide feud, but still a great match! The ending was pretty cool too, since I love the move. ***
Gibson vs Yang- To be honest, I skipped this match. I'm not a fan of either wrestler at all...but this is Gibson's second-to-last ROH match, and I hear good things. N/A
Roderick Strong vs Jimmy Rave- Just a great, great match, but again was mainly used for continuing the new Embassy vs Generation Next feud. Good back and forth action, and a must-see for a fan of either or both wrestlers. ***
Nigel McGuinness vs Jay Lethal- GREAT techical match, and for a pretty good length too. Really showed the pure wrestling aspect of ROH well, and one of my favorite pure matches in the past few months. ***1/2
Whitmer/Jacobs vs Mamaluke/Rinauro- If Joe vs Kobashi wasn't the main event, this would be MOTN, no doubt. Rinauro is one of THE MOST underrated wrestlers, ever, and he proves it in this match. This was just a great, amazing, fast-paced and awesome tag team title defense. The last 5 minutes will 'wow' you. This is easily worth the DVD price IMO. ****1/2
Daniels vs Sydal vs Azrieal- If you're into high-flying action with some cool spots, you must watch this match. This sparked the Daniels vs Sydal series of matches, and it was just a great match with high-flying and hard-hitting action. ****
Colt Caban vs Claudio Castagnoli- A solid opener match, but nothing too special. Had it's funny moments, which is expected from these two, and was pretty technical. I <3 Claudio, even if he betrayed ROH. RIIIIICOOOOLAAAA. This was basically here to continue the Colt vs Homicide feud, but still a solid opener. ***
Overall- ****. A must-have DVD for the main event alone, but even if you've seen the main event, the rest of the matches easily make it worth the purchase!
