[2.0] "I'm not against religion personally. BUT mixing it with professional wrestling is just asking for trouble. Even though it's a unique concept, it just seems that there's a lot of trouble with mixing two complete opposites."

[0.0] "This was just...a horrible idea executed even worse. The idea of wrestling and religion is something that I think COULD work if done well. I mean characters like The Undertaker and Trent Acid and Christopher Daniels and Kevin Sullivan have all done great work with religious gimmicks, but trying to basically tell Bible stories in the medium of wrestling shows is strange. Whatever the reason was, the matches were all bad to horrible. Vince Russo style horrible booking and finishes and creative mixing with talented people who seemed to not even try or care about the shows just made everything feel like nobody cared at all. While I am being harsh, as it seems like all the people there were genuinely believers in God and the Bible and wanted to further the message they believe in, it was just done in a really bad way."

[2.0] "A failure concept that wrestling into stories from the last temptation and book of Genesis. It was bad enough that it barely talked about outside the wrestling community almost like it never happened. The only good matches was the 4 way ladder match, Jeff Jarrett vs Elix Skipper for the NWA World title along with the Alan Funk vs Chris Harris as a decent second. The promotion only ran two events in churches in the south. Other-all the good christians wanting to see Father James and Percy Pringle get their behinds whooped by Kid Kash and Kevin Northcutt respectfully makes it worth watching but not the commentary or the wrestling action itself."

[0.0] "Religion and wrestling, it's one of those things that don't mix well, unless you know what you're doing. These shows are the equivalent of TNA house shows but the twist is Jeff Jarrett is actually god, yeah I'm sure Russo was on drugs."

[0.0] "Just terrible in everyday you could not pay me to sit though these shows some of the most offensive stuff that has ever been done in wrestling makes the worst thing you have ever seen look better in comparison just do not watch"

[4.0] "In 2005, between TNA stints, Vince Russo, who had recently become a born-again Christian, started his own Christian-themed wrestling promotion, and.... it's not the worst thing Russo's ever done. Ring of Glory's roster was largely on loan from the 2005 TNA roster, and the in-ring quality was pretty solid. The writing had a few of Russo's characteristic quirks - swerves abound - but a few of the more involved stories, like one that could be described as "the Last Temptation of Jimmy Rave, " came off rather well. The promotion ultimately only ran two shows, but it was intended to present a particular message and in that way it served its purpose."
