ROH Death Before Dishonor V: Night 1 (8/10/2007)- Boston, MA

BRISCOES PROMO- the intelligible parts were good.

DAVEY RICHARDS vs. JACK EVANS- 6.25/10

#1 CONTENDERS' MATCH FOR THE SHIMMER TITLE: Lacey vs. Daizee Haze- 5/10

PURE WRESTLING MATCH: Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero (w/Sweet N' Sour Inc.)- 6.75/10. Very entertaining and great storytelling. Oh. And, technically, we also got the beginning of the Age of the Fall angle (A.K.A. Project 161).

KEVIN STEEN PROMO- good promo (awkwardly enough, though, Generico is wearing a different mask here than he is for the match later).

SIX MAN MAYHEM MATCH: Delirious vs. Matt Cross vs. Brent Albright vs. Pelle Primeau vs. Eddie Edwards vs. Jigsaw- 5.75/10

AUSTIN ARIES & ERICK STEVENS vs. RODERICK STRONG & ROCKY ROMERO- 6.75/10

DOUBLE OR NOTHING MATCH FOR BOTH MEN'S SHARE OF THE MONEY FROM THE $10,000 TAG TEAM CHALLENGE MATCH FROM RACE TO THE TOP TOURNAMENT: NIGHT 2: Bryan Danielson vs. Matt Sydal (w/Larry Sweeney)- 7.25/10
We got a nice little pre-match segment to set up the stip for this match, which is nice, because it made the match more meaningful, and really made you want to see Dragon win, making him a bit more of the lockerroom leader babyface who is concerned about both wrestling and wrestlers that he would be during 2008 and 2009.

ROH WORLD TITLE MATCH: Takeshi Morishima(c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli- 8.75/10. Awesome! The crowd really got behind Claudio here, too, and Morishima started developing into a real heel, rather than just a monster tweener.

BRENT ALBRIGHT PROMO- not very good. Also, Albright gaffed and seemed to be confused as to which city he was currently in.

BOSTON STREET FIGHT: Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. The Briscoe Brothers- 9/10 AMAZING match.

Overall, an awesome show from ROH. Death Before Dishonor always delivers.
