Very underwhelming card to what is without doubt the prelude to the bigger show in New York this coming weekend. I'm not really familiar with the majority of the NJPW Roster but you would feel that with the talent at both their disposals, they could have come up with such a more appealing card. Still from what I've read the show sounded like it was a contender for show of the year with just about every match good to great.

ROH really did a tremendous job in building Kevin Steen as a genuine contender heading into this show with questionable doubts as to whether Adam Cole would drop the belt in Toronto. Very much looking forward to picking this show up later in the year when it hits the sales!
