Pick 6 Series Match
Chris Hero vs. Petey Williams ***¼
Best Petey Williams match in I don't know how long

Dark City Fight Club vs. The American Wolves ****
Really surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Just an incredibly fun back and forth match which helped me care alot more about DCFC

Austin Aries and Rhett Titus vs. The House of Truth *½
at the guy in the front row getting pissed at his GF for taking Rhett's hotel key

Pick Your Poison #1
Roderick Strong vs. El Generico ****

Pick Your Poison #2
Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen and Steve Corino ***

ROH World Title Match
Tyler Black vs. Kenny King **¾
Not a bad match but it felt like it went 5 minutes too long

Hell of a better show then I was expecting it to be. 2 great matches in Strong/Generico and Wolves/DCFC, surprisingly enjoyable match between Hero/Petey and a couple other decent matches as well

PWG Holy Diver Down

Joey Ryan vs. Topgun Talwar-1.5/5(What has been seen cannot be unseen)
Ronin vs. Ricky Reyes-2.75/5
Karl Anderson with Eddie the hat vs. Frankie Kazarian-3.25/5
MCMG vs. Arrogance-4/5
Disco Machine vs. Bino Gambino(2/3 falls)-2.5/5
PAC vs. Kevin Steen-4.25/5
PWG Title Match: Human Tornado(c) vs. El Generico-3.5/5

NOTES:
-Kevin Steen seems to spit/blow snot at the audience in every match
-This is the first match I've seen from PAC
-Anderson vs. Kazarian would have been better if it ended differently.
-Surprised that someone brought a baby to the show and the baby didn't cry once throughout the night, he/she'll grow up to be a wrestling fan.

There's a good example of a show which receives too much praise as a whole. I've watched it through about a couple of times and it's still a one-match DVD. MCMG/Arrogance is extremely over lenghty and never picks up (plus the ending is as anticlimatic as an ending possibly can be) and the main event is very short considering how little happens in it. PAC/Steen is the only reason to keep this one collecting dust on the shelf.

Sorry, didn't want to critisize your opinions or anything, just had to bring it up now that it crossed my mind again.

[Rickey]

Nah that's okay man, the MCMG/Arrogance match does have an anticlimatic ending but it's kinda funny how it was set up. When Bosh and Lost have the guns against the ropes, Lost says something like "Here it comes, best tag move."(para-phasing) and that leads to....well you know. I thought that was a funny ending, came outta nowhere. Enjoyed the other comedy portions of the match too, so yeah that helped the rating also.

The main event is short but good for what it was. I'd say it's a 3 match dvd. Would have greatly improved the show to have had a better opening than TopGun vs. Ryan, I like Ryan but...smh at that.

My copy of Death Before Dishonor VIII arrived today, working my way through it at the moment. Off to an awesome start with Steen vs Generico, but oh my god that screaming fan is gonna piss me off...

[TaylorFitz]

I solved my ROH order mystery! Well sort of. I just checked my paypal and it didn't say that I bought 2 DVDs from ROH. I instead managed to purchase the Ring of Honor Shopping Cart...

My payment notification email said they had no idea what I ordered but I never bothered opening it because I just assumed it would tell me that I paid.

Can't blame ROH for not trying to hard either. If someone just sent me $35 I can't say I would try too hard to figure out why.

Anyone know where I could get my hands on some high quality Manami Toyota photos? I'm making the cover for Highspots' 5-disc comp and I can't find anything.

It's nice to see a time-limit draw that isn't obviously coming (like having the announcer always say that there's a minute remaining)

Chicago Street Fight
Colt Cabana and El Generico vs. Steve Corino and Kevin Steen ****½

Despite the pretty terrible start to the show, overall a pretty damn show. The main event was absoloutely insane, Strong/Davey and Black/Hero were two great wrestling matches and the tag match was pretty entertaining

Weakest show since Gold Rush. Daniels/Steen was pretty good, as was Stevens/Strong but other then those nothing all that exciting on the show
