Truthslayer's PPV Review Of ROH's Rising Above 09

[wi11G63]

Great review brother. ROH has this show available for $10 on their site, and I definitely think it's worth it after watching your review.

[UndertakerRIP2008]

Thats the only gripe i have against ROH is the production. The wrestling is great but the production throws me off

[UndertakerRIP2008]

whens the next ppv?

[bjobbo]

Watched the last two matches of the DVD tonight. Fucking amazing. Loved McGuinness vs Danielson. Thank you for recommending this Slayer, you've made my weekend.

[chaquank]

seriously why do people do these stupid reviews, its fucking retarded get a life

[echoray2736]

Bryan Danielson looked like chris sabin

[HELLVIEWluvPWG]

Quit spamming my inbox with friend requests, pretentious internet person. Thanks.

[skitchdrews]

This was the first ROH show I've ever seen. I was blown away. Awesome. Especially the last two matches. My only critique is that they didn't do a very good job smartening up newbies like me to the storylines. I really didn't know what was going on with the undercard matches, but I still thought they were pretty good.

[Dante1Savage]

keith mitchell is his name and he is a fucking moron. Thing that gets me is that I used to love WCW direction, but TNA's is horrible, he really should be fired.

[Criminology187]

the only time I really seen WWE do the overhead crane shot is during ladder matches. Should be used more often

[UndertakerRIP2008]

yeah

[AmericanDragonfan]

the cattle mutalation is my fav sub finisher prob ever, i think he got in from Muta, i seen him do it to sting on that starcade dvd,

[ROHTNA1991]

You Are correct sir in a shoot interview he did with RF Video

he was asked where did you come up with Cattle Mutilation

he laughed and jokingly said I stole it

from Muta he said he saw Muta use it at Starrcade

[AmericanDragonfan]

yea those overhesd shots are sweet. Nigel is hilarious to me on commentary and it was also so funny when the fans chanted hey for every Claduio move

[piscataway53]

Support ROH. Watch it on stream.

[Jpwn3r]

What a paradox.

[ecwforeverhardcore01]

I think you have the exact same ratings as Marc P.

[EternalDeathSavior]

ROH rules!

[mmawrestlefan]

Kevin Steen & El Generico vs.

Jay & Mark Briscoe: ***

MsChif vs. Sara Del Rey: ** 1/2

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Silas Young vs. Alex Payne vs. Sami Callahan: ***

Brent Albright, Roderick Strong, & Ace Steel vs. Davey Richards, Go Shiozaki, & Chris Hero: ***1/4

Jimmy Jacobs vs. Austin Aries: ****

Nigel McGuinness vs.

Bryan Danielson: ****1/2

Overall score: 8.5

[ForsakenLyre]

The main event was a technical wet dream.

[bones3091]

i agree. if danielson doesnt take the title off mcguiness when he finally loses it i would be surprised. but i am one of the ones who likes mcguiness almost as much as i do danielson so it doesnt have to be too soon.

[Cmpunkmark101]

was it better then there match at a Unified

[cowbell1]

They had so much heat on McGuinness, it was insane. They have to keep the Belt on McGuinness until their Dayton show on April 24th...So I can see Danielson take it from them.

[Fresnos]

You have the worst hair cut ive ever seen

[mets2128]

would it kill ROH to take the title off Nigel Mcguiness Please?!

[bones3091]

for any of you who have never been to an roh show go. theres nothing better than watching all the rohbots heart sink and one one single tear roll down their cheek as mcguiness gets another win.

[wwetnasux]

I actually don't have a problem with Nigel. I hate him as a face though, he's dull and boring, but he's awesome as a heel.

[bones3091]

o i love nigel as the cocky arrogant avant-garde heel. every time mcguiness successfully defends the title and the fans cry, an angel gets a lariat.

[hiandhappy]

=(

seeing high ROH reviews makes me more upset that i cant find ROH DVDs anywhere or order it.

[dannybammy]

Ive been saying that for 2years now.

[rtgiardino1]

this was a good ppv. Off topic but impact was terrible this week

[NWTwrestling]

This was the first ROH Pay-Per-View I ordered! The last 2 matches were incredible!

[MastoidPress]

Oh for Christ sakes! Not another ROH video!!

[RurouniNall]

have you seen the michell vs victora match, what did you think?

[GT500COBRA94]

If this would have been live instead of taped Danielson vs McGuinness could have been a potential 5 star match. Because if I had not known the results prior to actually seeing the show I would have sworn that Danielson was going to beat Nigel. I also gave it ****3/4

And I gave the I Quit match ****1/2. It looked like someone was going to get killed out there.

[orbite11]

is tyler black v joe gonna be on the DVD for this ppv, thtas what id been led to understand, but you confused me slightly there slayer

[NothingButLetters]

In that case, why did you not just watch the PPV some other day?

[Cuda123087]

Ace got released from WWE WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY back in February.

[Cuda123087]

Then quite frankly, you have no attention span whatsoever. Because only three matches that aired were longer than 10 minutes.

[NothingButLetters]

Maybe he has been watching too much of Raw, where the average match literally does go beyond few minutes? I am sure he found Michaels-Cena too long and boring as well.

[NothingButLetters]

In particular, guys no longer look like "ghost."

[NothingButLetters]

Production quality has certainly gotten better since ROH has started on PPV, however, sound quality still sounds notably rough.

[NothingButLetters]

By the way, I am digging on the new face-heel dynamic in the ROH announcing booth, something of which, I wish was still part of the wrestling business.

[NothingButLetters]

I find it interesting Aries-Jacobs had a I Quit Match in a semi-main-event of a January PPV, when it is roughly around the 10 year anniversary of the I Quit Match that the Rock-Mankind had, which was also a semi-main-event of a January PPV.

[NothingButLetters]

Personally, I really enjoyed Claudio Castagnoli vs. Silas Young vs. Alex Payne vs. Sami Callahan, to the point more than most. I would give it *** 1/4

[nightmareballa1]

Watching that main event again I 100% agree that was just incredibly awesome. Remember how I said it lacked the epicness? Watching it again with no one around and just taking all in ****3/4 stars. Just wow a must see.

[mentoch]

Has Adam Pearce stopped wrestling since he's started booking?

[mhc12k]

its really still gabes stuff. If u look at gabes dvd he planed out most of the stuff thats goin on now.

[mentoch]

doesnt answer the question as to whether Pearce is still wrestling.

[mhc12k]

yes he is. hes wrestling more on the west coast where he lives for the nwa and others..

[devright]

I thought it was a good show as well. It's the first ROH PPV I've ordered since the first one and was quite happy with the purchase. The show didn't flow that great to me because guys would just be in the ring after interviews or videos but other than that I have no complaints.

My favorite match was Jimmy Jacobs vs. Austin Aries. Classic, old-school blood bath.

MsChif got stretched like crazy which was awesome.

Nigel vs. Danielson was off the charts. I still don't like Nigel.
