Is Hate: Chapter II worth picking up? I'm thinking of getting it along with Anarchy in the UK in the current sale.

I haven't seen any EVOLVE yet so I wouldn't know.

Both of Callihan's matches on CZW's recent tour of Germany were really good. The problem is that the matches are on CZW DVDs

My first review, I'm doing the ratings out of 10 because I am not really a big fan of Star Ratings

Richards vs Daniels

1. The All Night Express vs. Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly- 6/10

Fun Opener, but enjoyed their Final Battle match a little more

2. Andy "Right Leg" Ridge vs. Ricky Reyes- 4/10

Decent match, I am not a big fan of Ricky Reyes and felt as though Ridge could have shown some more

3. Daizee Haze and Jamilia Craft vs. Lady JoJo and Neveah- 2/10

Was not really a fan of this match at all

4. Kevin Steen vs. Homicide- 7/10

Really enjoyed this match, Steen was really great in this match, and this is the best Homicide has looked in my opinion.

5. The Metal Master vs. Mike Mondo- 5/10

Average match, was pretty enjoyable, but nothing blew me away.

6. The Kings of Wrestling vs. Jay and Mark Briscoe- 6.5/10

Was disappointed in this match, probably the worst match they have had, and it was not given a lot of time, but it was still good for what it was.

7. I-Quit Match: Steve Corino vs. Colt Cabana 6/10

Was not really a huge fan of this match, I felt like it could have been a lot better, but they did some nice things in the match.

8. Davey Richards vs. Christopher Daniels- 9/10

This was a great match, really loved it, best Daniels match in a long time.

Overall: 8/10 Pretty fun show overall, the main event is great and everyone should check it out.

Some good, fast-paced quite stiff action, good work on the ribs by Callihan, Skullkrusher looked like a beast and Callihan bumped/sold well for him. I felt they really brought a sense of urgency and made this match seem more important to win than what you'd normally get between a lowercard guy and a non-regular. It's also easily Skullkrusher's best ROH match.

I would legit give the match ***1/2-3/4.

I really liked this too. They were really stiff but they threw in a good story as well. I didn't rate it that high but I still thought it was a very good match.

That really isn't fair. Just because you don't like two guys doesn't mean you should give their matches really crappy ratings.

Way of the Ronin is the Milwaukee show from the end of September (headlined by Dragon vs. Moxley), and Bushido and Freedom Fight 2010 were from the end of October. If I had to guess I'd say Bushido will be out around February and FF2010 will be out by March at the earliest since it's on TV PPV in January.
