I think my friend Larry put it best on twitter RE: ROH's apology for the iPPV. Every time they issue one, they never really take responsibility for the problem.

This was really good stuff. Misawa's dominance and aggression shows that he clearly has the onions to beat Hansen. It helps that Hansen is more than willing to sell his ass off for Misawa, and make him look that much better. The finish looks more like a fluke than anything else, especially with Misawa having already gotten a rope break after Hansen's lariat.

I loved this. Just a heated, out of control, fight. I liked Loss comparing it to the trios after Santo's turn. Konnan looked like such a tool with that hair. I thought the two UWA trios matches from Feb were better overall matches, but this still scores major points.

Greg Valentine vs. Tito Santana from MSG 10/22/84. Tito's first rematch after losing the IC Title, and going under the knife, and he came ready to throw down. Tito chucks a chair and Valentine taps a gusher.

With how unmotivated and lazy the facepaint and mist made him, I'm thankful that he only trotted it out on occasion. Vader and Bigelow are the ultimate gaijin monster heel tag team.

Wow, I really liked this. Both of these two were fighting like they had something to prove. This isn't at all what you'd expect from the opening match between the two green horns. I thought the German suplex spot was strange, since Albright was killing people with suplexes, but in this match a German wasn't even able to soften up someone enough for an armlock.

Count me in with those who think this is excellent, but overrated. The Dustin/Austin portion kills it for me, despite Dustin's willingness to bump like a madman for Austin's lariats, but they were both really green compared to their partners so it's not a surprise that they fall short compared to their much more experienced partners. This was exactly the sort of intense and hateful brawl needed to keep this whole feud going toward War Games.

This isn't great, but it's good. Like was already said, this was ahead of its time in the U.S. but doesn't hold a candle to what was going on in Mexico and Japan during the same time frame. Pillman's dropkick to Lyger while he was in the air was the most direct hit I've EVER seen someone make doing that spot.

The footage is pretty rough, compared to the other stuff on here, but this is a fun outing. I especially liked that in addition to the typical spot where the heel is almost out and the babyface pulls him back up and in, that Flair also got to do that to Piper. The finish was fun with Flair outsmarting himself to lose.

You can scrap that Kawada/Tenzan match, they had one in NJPW that was much better earlier in the year. Tenzan/Kojima vs. Doc/Hines from April wouldn't be a bad inclusion.
