You can catch replays now on some On Demand systems. If you have On Demand and they aren't carrying "Take No Prisoners" call them and tell them you want to see one of the best PPVs of the year. You got ROH on the shelves of Best Buy so you can make a difference. You can also watch replays on The DISH Network's All Day Ticket today, tomorrow, this Sunday and the final showing is this Tuesday. We are really proud of this show, but of course we are going to say it is good. Don't listen to us, look at what the critics and journalists are saying:
"...last two matches with Austin Aries vs. Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black are excellent. McGuinness vs. Black blew away anything on TNA or WWE PPV since at least the Angle-Joe match, if not longer than that" - Dave Meltzer at WrestlingObserver.com
"If you are not a Ring of Honor fan, I highly encourage you to check this show out. It has a little bit of everything, with two fantastic main events." - Jerome Cusson at 411mania.com
"Without any hesitation, I think this (Aries vs. Danielson) may have been the best match in ROH in a long, long time. This thing was just completely perfectly laid out and brilliant." - Mike Johnson at PWinsider.com
"ROH really outdid itself this time....the title match was amazing and made me feel like I should throw my cable company a few extra dollars. The undercard all delivered more that I could have hoped for. " - Brad Garoon at Thecoolkidstable.com
"Overall another great wrestling PPV from ROH, as the last two matches delivered, the opener way good stuff, Steen vs. Strong was a good match and the Street Fight offered up something different from the rest of the card." - Larry Csonka at 411mania.com
"Good to great matches all around....The show is totally worth the $14.95 they charge on my system" - Jason Powell at prowrestling.net
