Winner: Jay Briscoe

Maybe it's little too late for this review but this PPV is too good to be miss. All match has a solid match, even they didn't work for big company like WWE they still could entertained the wrestling fans around the world. Better part of this PPV is the comeback of ROH legend, Samoa Joe and he hunting for the Championship belt.

I give this PPV 8 out of 10, the only bad for this show is the crowds are little silent for most of match and also the commentatory didn't made the listener excited.
