WINNER GETS AN ROH WORLD TITLE SHOT AT FINAL BATTLE 2004: Austin Aries vs. Low Ki- 7.5/10
ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Havana Pitbulls (Ricky Reyes & Rocky Romero)(c) (w/Julius Smokes) vs. Nigel McGuinness & Chad Collyer- 7.25/10. I actually got really sucked into this one. A lot more than I thought I would be.
THE GREAT MANAGERIAL DEBATE: Jim Cornette vs. Bobby Heenan- very good segment, but it would have been a lot better if Cornette hadn’t come out and put Heenan over first.
EMBASSY SEGMENT- good
PROMO WITH LACEY’S HALF OF SPECIAL K- good
TRENT ACID vs. JERK JACKSON-3.5/10.
ALLISON DANGER & THE CARNAGE CREW- good
JACK EVANS & RODERICK STRONG (w/Jim Cornette) vs. COLT CABANA & JIMMY JACOBS (w/Bobby Heenan)- 7/10. LOTS OF FUN!
BRYAN DANIELSON vs. HOMICIDE (w/Julius Smokes)- 8/10!
RICKY STEAMBOAT PROMO- Very good.
NO TIME LIMIT MATCH FOR THE ROH WORLD TITLE: Samoa Joe(c) vs. CM Punk- 9.5/10 AMAZING match, that played very well off of their first two title matches
.
SAMOA JOE PROMO- very good.
PROMO WITH BECKY’S HALF OF SPECIAL K PROMO- Great
MAFF & WHITMER PROMO- okay
AUSTIN ARIES PROMO-very good
Overall, this was a great show from ROH, but there is a hell of a lot of fluff and padding on this DVD in order to get it to be a two DVD-set. Definitely recommended, and a must-buy for fans of Joe and Punk.
