ROH Fifth Year Festival: Dayton (2/23/2007)- Dayton, OH-

OPENING SEGMENTS- GREAT lead in to the opener. Very smooth transitions.

COLT CABANA & NIGEL MCGUINNESS vs. BRENT ALBRIGHT & JIMMY JACOBS (w/Lacey)- 6.25/10

BJ WHITMER PROMO- great words but no charisma. Looking at the camera might help, BJ.

JIMMY RAVE vs. STERLING JAMES KEENAN- 4.5/10

DAIZEE HAZE vs. LACEY (w/Jimmy Jacobs)- 6/10

AUSTIN ARIES PROMO- GREAT!

JAY BRISCOE vs. HOMICIDE vs. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (w/Allison Danger)- 7.25/10

DRAGON GATE OPEN THE BRAVE GATE TITLE MATCH: Matt Sydal(c) vs. Austin Aries- 7.25/10 Good aftermath, too.

LACEY PROMO- Lacey is falling in love with Jimmy! YAY! And she wants him to kill Colt Cabana for her! Not so yay.

TANK TOLAND (w/Larry Sweeney) vs. MITCH FRANKLIN- GREAT squash

SIX MAN MAYHEM MATCH: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Shingo vs. Roderick Strong vs. Mark Briscoe vs. Pelle Primeau vs. Matt Cross- 8/10. CRAZY!

SAMOA JOE vs. DAVEY RICHARDS- 8/10. HOLY SH*T what a finish!

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Takeshi Morishima(c) vs. BJ Whitmer- 7/10 very underwhelming.

Overall a solid show.

glad you got the chance to review this; this was the first ROH show I got to see live!

The Six Man Mayhem won me over immediately, the triple threat was GREAT, Aries v. Sydal was VERY good, and Davey v. Joe made me wince several times.

This show is the reason I'm such a big Claudio and Davey fan....
