Special thanks to my friend John Philapavage and his partners in crime for providing live coverage on the show. Check out PWChronicle.com. for additional comments and star ratings.

1. Davey Richards beat Dingo in a non-pay-per-view match. Richards won with a tombstone and the Kimura lock. Very good back and forth action with Dingo looking impressive.

2. Sara Del Rey pinned Kylie Pierce in another non-PPV match. Sara got a babyface reaction and won a quick match with a kick to the head.

Dave Prazak and Lenny Leonard introduced the PPV to the crowd. It appears that the name of the PPV is “Take No Prisoners.”

3. Tyler Black defeated Delirious, Claudio Castagnoli, and Go Shiozaki in a four-corner survival match to earn a shot at the ROH Title later in the show. Delirious and Claudio started the match with some comedy. Things got serious from there and it was solid action the rest of the way. Black got the surprise win with a Phoenix Splash on Delirious and got a light “Next world champ” chant.

4. Kevin Steen defeated Roderick Strong. Steen won with the Package Piledriver. Good stuff.

5. Jigsaw & Ruckus beat Adam Pearce & B.J. Whitmer in a non-PPV match. The match featured the Hangmen getting heat with a long beat-down on Jigsaw. The Vulture Squad made the comeback and Jigsaw scored the win. Eddie Kingston was at ringside with Sabian and Robbie Minero and the crowd chanted his name after the match. He got into a brawl with the Vulture Squad and security separated them.

6. Jay & Mark Briscoe (w/Daizee Haze) beat Joey Matthews and Necro Butcher in a no DQ street fight. The match started out as a wild brawl in the crowd. Mark suffered a cut on the head early. A hit and miss big spot garbage match. Mark hit a dive off the entrance onto Necro. Lacey and Daizee Haze fought during the match. Jay won with a Jay Driller on Matthews onto a chair. Matthews was applauded for his efforts after the match.

-Intermission-

7. Bushwhacker Luke defeated Shane Hagadorn in a non-PPV match. Slow, horrible, and too long.

Larry Sweeney came out for the “Larry Sweeney Show Starring Larry Sweeney.” After making overtures to the Hangmen 3 in Dover, he called out the entire faction to merge with Sweet and Sour Inc. Brent Albright looked pissed. Erick Stevens came out for his match against Albright. The segment was not over with the crowd.

8. Brent Albright pinned Erick Stevens. A better than expected power match that built nicely as it went on. Albright won with a half-nelson suplex after Stevens was distracted by Sweeney.

Afterward, BJ Whitmer indicated that he wanted out of the merged faction and headbutted Sweeney. Pearce and Hagadorn attacked Whitmer and spike piledrove him. Albright reluctantly stayed with the merged faction.

9. Bryan Danielson defeated Austin Aries via submission. A very good match with an awesome finish. Aries tapped out to an arm bar for the submission win.

10. Nigel McGuinness defeated Tyler Black to retain the ROH Title. There were a lot of nearfalls, even to the point of overkill. Nevertheless, a good match with a strong finishing sequence. Nigel got the win with an overhand wristlock finisher.
