BJ WHITMER, CAPRICE COLEMAN, & CEDRIC ALEXANDER vs. SCUM (Cliff Compton, Jimmy Jacobs, & Rhett Titus)- 4.25/10
Standard babyface in peril tag match with SCUM cheating to win. The heels go for a post-match beatdown but are chased off by Lethal and Elgin

HYPE FOR THE MAY 1TTH PITTSBURGH SHOW- Hype for a house show is always a good thing. The promo by reDRagon was just awesome.

RHETT TITUS vs. JAY LETHAL- 4.5/10
Decent match, but I really didn't like SCUM's first loss being thrown away so easily like this.

INSIDE ROH SEGMENT- okay. I felt like this had a lot less PPV hype than usual and a lot more hype for upcoming TV shows.

COLE-BRISCOE CONTRACT SIGNING- Corino, Rhino, & Hardy crash the contract signing, leading to...

ADAM COLE & JAY BRISCOE vs. MATT HARDY & RHINO- 6/10
Not good enough for a main event, but I am willing to excuse that because of how interesting the finsih is. It involved Cole and Briscoe getting into an argument, Cole accidentally superkicking Hardy, then sidestepping a GORE by Rhino... which went right into Briscoe. Should be an interesting main event at Border Wars 2013.

BORDER WARS 2013 HYPE- Whitmer was good, Eddie and Lethal were okay. Mark Briscoe was fun. House of Truth were great. C&C and Jay Briscoe were good. Mondo made me hope that decides to retire before I have to hear him speak again. Having the whole card (or at least most of it) out there was important, too, since I was learning about most of these matches for the very first time.

Overall, a very eh show from ROH, and not very good for a go-home show, as it only really got over the WOrld Title match and the ROH vs. SCUM feud.
