Powell’s POV: The press release goes on to note some of the notable events and performers from Impact and then lists the ROH pay-per-view lineup. As I’ve noted, the Nigel McGuiness vs. Austin Aries main event set the early standard for match of the year.

The press release wasn’t anti-TNA, but idea of pitting the two companies in a head-to-head battle is a good way to draw some attention to the pay-per-view replays. You can check out my review of “Rising Above” by clicking here.
