Storylines

Seven professional wrestling matches were featured on the show that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines played out on ROH TV. Wrestlers portrayed faces (heroes) or heels (villains) as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Reception

Larry Csonka, from 411mania.com said ROH held a good show, remarking that "There was a lot of good wrestling, with nothing bad, but at the same time there was nothing to really set ROH apart from the other products out there", calling it "not the homerun that ROH needed."[3]

Dave Meltzer rated the Elgin-Cole with 4 stars as the best match of the event.
