ROH Gateway To Honor (11/6/2012)- Colinsville, IL

ANDY "RIGHT LEG" RIDGE vs. TOMASSO CIAMPA (w/The Embassy)- 4/10
The Delirious stuff was fun, especially R.D. Evans running around the ring and chasing him.

JAY BRISCOE vs. TJ PERKINS- 6.25/10
Good showing from TJP. I had totally forgotten that the Briscoes were heels at this point, and the crowd reaction certainly didn't help me.

THE BRAVADO BROTHERS vs. STEVE CORINO & JIMMY JACOBS- 5.5/10
I really didn't like the disappearing thumb trick spot, as by this point in his recovery, I think that Corino and especially Jacobs should be able to overcome that urge. Prazak's commentary during it was absolutely priceless, though.

GRIZZLY REDWOOD vs. MICHAEL ELGIN (w/Truth Martini)- 3.75/10
Basically an extended squash. Elgin gets the win with a random Samoa Joe-style Boston Crab.

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs. Future Shock (Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly)- 6.75/10
This was a good match, but it should have been better. This is the team that WWE never gave a chance to show their full potential vs. the awesome team of the future. It should have been better. Kyle tapped way too quickly after being put in the Haas of Pain, too. I also really didn't like this not being the main event. How is the tag team title match less important than a random tag team match?

MSCHIF vs. PRINCESS MIA (w/Truth Martini)- 3.25/10
Not bad... just short.

PROVING GROUND MATCH: ROH TV Champion Jay Lethal vs. Mark Briscoe- 7/10

EL GENERICO vs. MIKE BENNETT (w/"Brutal" Bob Evans)- 6/10
The aftermath helped build to Final Battle decently well.

THE AMERICAN WOLVES vs. THE ALL-NIGHT EXPRESS- 8.5/10
An absolutely awesome match that really helped cement ANX as a main event tag team.

Overall, this is pretty much a one match show (and a no-promos show), but that match is great. Nothing particularly important happens here, storyline-wise, so it's not essential viewing and is skippable if you are strapped for cash, but if you aren't it is definitely worth picking up. A must-buy for ANX fans.
