EDDIE EDWARDS vs. "Brutal" Bob Evans (w/Mike Bennett & Maria Kannellis)- 5.25/10
Good for what it was. I liked the Calgary Crab spot a lot, as it kept Bennett's ongoing feud with Lance Storm fresh in mind without Lance being on TV at all.

AFTERMATH- Bennett and Brutal Bob lay the beatdown on Eddie, until Homicide comes out and beats them up. Cide then shakes Eddie's hand, but then hits him with a Cop Killa. This was eh.

PROMO BUILDING UP TO THE TV TITLE MATCH AT BEST IN IN THE WORLD 2012- great

JAY LETHAL vs. CHRIS SILVIO- 4/10

CIAMPA, LETHAL, & RODDY BRAWL- eh. It wasn't bad, but I think it (and the Lethal match that led up to it, too) was entirely unnecessary because the video package already did a great job of hyping the TV Title match up.

INSIDE ROH PROMOS- Truth was eh, the Briscoes were decent, Cornette was very good, Jacobs and Steen were good, Shelton was good.

DAVEY RICHARDS & KYLE O'REILLY PROMO- good

JIMMY JACOBS & KEVIN STEEN vs. TEAM AMBITION (Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly)- 6.75/10
Not good enough for a main event, but a good brawl nonetheless.

Overall, not a great show from ROH, but not bad, either.
