This, I felt, was one of the more anticipated DVD compilations from ROH, and I gotta say it definitely delivered. The quality of most of the matches alone are enough reason to get this. They pretty encapsulate the entire ROH career of Jimmy Jacobs (up until the point when he left). The shoot interview is great, as he goes into detail about almost every aspect of his ROH run and his recent return. The inclusion of all his Ballads, Dating Lacey Videos, and Age of the Fall promos are a great touch. Definitely go out of your way to get this one.
