Just finished watching it. Great PPV.
The opening was brilliant, great tag match to start with. Women's match was meh. I'm just not a fan of womens wrestling. Danielson/Hero was really good. This match though really showcased Hero well, holding his own against Dragon and putting over his ego.
It may sound weird, but my favourite match of the night was the six man tag. I'm a fan of all the participants, El Generico, Steen, Delirious and Hangm3n (as a whole, not individually), the build up was great and the action was excellent. Really good match.
Aries/Strong was a really good match aswell. Very intense and emotional, put them both over really well.
The Tag match was actually alot better than i thought it would be. Started off a little slow but got going nicely with some great action at the end. They put over the fact that the Tag match was in another place alot better than how they handled it at Driven.
Main Event was alright i guess. I so badly want to be a fan of Nigel McGuiness. He's british and i feel i should support him, yet i'm just really tired of all the Lariats. I guess it's ok if you're a WWE guy, but you expect better in ROH, alot better. Good ending though. I also think that 'Shima doesn't bring the best out of McGuiness. Both of the matches i've seen of them weren't brilliant. While Nigel had a great match with Dragon at Driven and will have a good match with Aries at Rising Above.
Overall, great Pay Per View. Didn't feel too rushed, which i thought it may be with 7 matches on the card (much like Driven was). Pleasently suprised that ROH is getting it right now with the timing of matches etc. One negative point. The stupid 'Goals' are back. They're lame.
Here's my rankings of the PPVs so far:
#1 Man Up
#2 Respect Is Earned
#3 Undeniable
#4 Driven

^^^^^ Agreed, not bad but not as great as the past ones
Opens with a mediocre match and a cruddy women's match.
Hero vs Danielson was OK, I'm just not a fan of Hero
Aries/Strong, Briscoes/NRC, and the title match were all pretty good. As was the 6 man

I am not a huge fan of watching and paying for a PPV that is already a few months old and not too relevant when it comes to the current stuff.
ROH has slowed their progress tremendously as live shows are repeating and rehashing alot of stuff to slwo down for the airing of the ppv and the product is not as fresh as it was before PPV.
The lack of depth on the roster also affects the in ring presention and is an area that ROH is lacking right now.

I am not a huge fan of watching and paying for a PPV that is already a few months old and not too relevant when it comes to the current stuff. Actually it's quitre relevent to current stuff because the current champ is winning the belt and is set to embark on his toughest road yet to keep his belt. On top of that a big Erick Stevens promo pimping his future in 2008. On top of that, a great set up for the AOTF winning the belts and gaining power. Need I continue? ROH has slowed their progress tremendously as live shows are repeating and rehashing alot of stuff to slwo down for the airing of the ppv and the product is not as fresh as it was before PPV. Hmm, that paragraph looks like it would come from someone on a certain site that likes NAMBLA. The lack of depth on the roster also affects the in ring presention and is an area that ROH is lacking right now. Yup, I know who this is. |

I will say, I lol'd when Chris Hero had the announcer say "Mr. Hero would like to inform you that is purely speculation" When the crowd was doing their chant

I thought the opening match was brilliant. Short, exciting and showed two new teams to the PPV audience in the Vulture Squad and the Age of the Fall. It was a brilliant way to start the PPV.
