Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong

[8.0] "A very good match, with two men who are clearly very familiar with each other's offence after years of working with one another. The table spot towards the end looked brutal. I did find parts of it to be a little flavourless, though, as there were times where the action felt a bit dry and predictable. Definitely a good match, but I am very ready for everybody involved in this feud to finally move on."

[8.0] "A very good match between Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. These two made a great tag team before and they also make great opponents. Lots of very fast-paced action here and some very cool spots. You can make an argument that they went a little too fast at points, but I still very much enjoyed this."

[6.0] "Wow this match is long. Generation Next have imploded and now they square off here today. Honestly don't have much to tell you about this one, I was watching Undeniable for McGuinness Vs. Morishima and this was here too, so I figured why not' It wound up being really boring, with basically the usual ROH match fluff that was to be expected of any match that didn't involve high stakes. There are some freakish spots that Strong takes, both intentionally and unintentionally, and I will admit I flinched at a couple of them. Probably the most visceral reaction Aries has ever gotten out of me, so good for him I guess."

[9.0] "Generation Next explodes in a highly personal match. I really dig how even though there is a lack of respect shown between these two, they still have a match that shows how well they know each other. Counter after counter and reversal after reversal, both guys knew each other's repertoire down to the detail. They even kicked out of each other's finisher which felt deserved after the hard battle both guys had. Don't think the table spot was really needed, but it made for a sick looking bump, so I can't complain that much about it, ****1/2."

[9.0] "Another terrific singles match between these two. They did a great job of establishing the amount of familiarity they have with each other, and with so much countering of moves, it meant that every time either man scored with an offensive move, it really meant something. Things like Roddy countering Aries little corner flip into the springboard elbow (which he does in most matches and never gets called on it) or his Asai moonsault, or Aries revering both the Gibson Driver and the Stronghold. It just adds to the depth of a gripping wrestling match. I think they lost a little bit of steam in the last couple of minutes. They probably needed an extra 5-minutes of match time to truly sell the story of Strong’s assault on the back, and build up the intensity/hatred of what is (on ppv at least) the conclusion of a feud that has been going on since February. Plus Aries overshooting the 450 was a tad messy. He’d already hit it earlier in the match too. I think everyone would’ve bought it if he’d have just rolled Roddy in after the table Brainbuster and got the 1-2-3 that way."

[8.0] "Great match. **** stars. As good as I expected. This match has every stuff we can watch from Strong and Aries. I love those innovative back breaker and pinning predicament. Brutal ending! But that table made this match too predictable."
