JOSH ALEXANDER & ETHAN GABRIEL OWENS vs. reDRagon- 5.75/10
Good showing by Monster Mafia.

MOOSE vs. HAKIM ZANE- Squash
Moose wins. The fans chanted “MOOSE!”

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- decent
Veda Scott came out to see if Moose had considered her offer to manage him, made at Best in the World 2014. Veda’s pal Ramon seems to want to fight Moose. Not wanting anything to spoil her chances of signing Moose, Veda makes up some excuse why she and Ramon have to leave, but tells Moose the offer is still on the table.


MATT TAVEN PROMO HYPING UP THE GOLDEN GAUNTLET-
Yeah… Taven’s promos really aren’t that good. If you were expecting him to win this match (or beat Jay Lethal at Field of Honor), you probably shouldn’t get your hopes up.

WINNER GETS AN ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian vs. the Briscoes vs. War Machine vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Roderick Strong (w/Adam Page & Tadarius Thomas)- 7.5/10
The match was structured like a regular tag match, with Daniels as the babyface in peril and te Deade working him over, while both the Briscoes and War Machine just stood at their corners, not really doing much. Once the hot tag was made, everyone got their chance to do stuff. War Machine looked like badasses. Daniels pinned Roderick to secure his team a tag title match, but the Decade jumped him afterwards (so it looks like Daniels & Kazarian vs. Decade might become a thing), and we got a big brawl

After the first commercial break, they took some time to hype up next week’s Golden Gauntlet for an ROH World Title shot, including a promo by Jay Lethal. The result of this was that during the whole promo, I kept shouting “finish up! I want to see the damn match!

A good show from ROH.
