 We are in Highland Heights, KY. Paul Wight, Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness are on commentary.

Renee interviews Lee Moriarty and Kofi. Shane Taylor Promotions and Austin Creed are with them. Kofi says he's happy to be here. He says he came to face the best and Lee is one of the best up and coming stars. Lee says he's the longest reigning ROH Pure Champ of all time.

They then announce a Clockwork Carnage match where the wrestler with the most pins or submissions in the match wins. It seems like NXT's Iron Survival Challenge without the penalty boxes.

Thoughts: It was a short squash and The Conglom's won as expected. I still have no idea what Solo's group is supposed to be and it's not working. Paul Wight spent a lot of time here complaining about Nigel muting him.

Thoughts: Mox won as expected. I didn't like the piledriver no sell spot. What we got was alright enough otherwise. I can't say there was a great story or anything to this though. 

Overall thoughts: Kofi/Lee wasn't that good as Kofi was off after taking a bad ddt. The Conglomeration won a quick squash. The Death Riders tag was fine. Reed/Dante didn't deliver. Queen/Hart had a decent bout and Davis/Priest was alright. I was also fine with the main. WrestleDream is only 2 weeks away and they were really hustling to get some info out about that and squeeze in some of the other matches. I'd give this a 5 out of 10. It was acceptable, but some of the matches didn't deliver as planned. There was a lot of random stuff here and a lot of stars were missing as usual.
