ROH Death Before Dishonor V: Night 2 Review

An 8 Man Street Fight headlines Night 2 of Death Before Dishonor



ROH Death Before Dishonor V: Night Two
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 8/11/07

1.) Falls Count Anywhere - Mark Briscoe vs. El Generico: ***1/4

Both The Briscoes & Steenerico have singles matches against each other tonight, and it looks liek this one's up first. This was good opening match and a great way to get the crowd going. While I think Jay is a little better, Mark is still a good singles wrestler in his own right.

2.) Jack Evans vs. Deranged: *3/4

Wasn't Deranged part of Special K? I have no idea because I don't care about Deranged. This match is skippable.

3.) Nigel McGuinness & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Hero & Jigsaw: **3/4

Sweeney apparently hired Jigsaw for the night so he can be Hero's partner in this one. It was a decent match. Nothing really outstanding.

4.) SHIMMER Title Match - Sara Del Rey vs. Lacey: ***

This was actually a VERY good women's match. Probably one of the better ones ROH has ever put on.

5.) Bryan Danielson vs. Mike Quackenbush: ***3/4

Here we had a clash between The Best in the World against The Man of a Thousand Holds. This was a very good match. Two Great Wrestlers just going at it and having a great wrestling match. No complaints here.

6.) Lights Out Match - Kevin Steen vs. Jay Briscoe: ***1/4

Much like the opening match, this was another good match in the Steenerico/Briscoes feud. Entertaining.

7.) ROH World Title Match - Takeshi Morishima vs. Brent Albright: ****

WOW...I did not in any way expect this to be as good as it was. The crowd was so into it and it looked like at points that Albright was actually going to win the belt. This ranks up their with the NWA World Title Match at Death Before Dishonor VI the next year as one of Albright's best ROH matches.

8.) Philadelphia Street Fight - No Remorse Corps & Matt Sydal vs. The Resilience & Delirious: ****1/2

I gotta say that I REALLY enjoyed watching this match. It was a Street Fight, and it was a heck of a lot of fun to watch. They were all over the building. A lot of entertaining stuff happened in this one. Really good main event.

Overall: 8.5/10

This is another great ROH show from 2007. While not quite as good as some of the PPV's from 2007, this is certainly a great show to watch regardless. There's something for everyone on this one, and it makes for a very enjoyable wrestling show.
