Commentary by Dod March & Jim Hall

With a Main Event between Christopher Daniels and CM Punk, and a ton of talented competitors the likes of Jimmy Jacobs, Matt Sydal, Gage Octane and Truth Martini, how could the overall quality of  wrestling be anything but excellent.  Not every match is spectacular, but taken as a whole, there are no complaints in the wrestling department.

 

Personally, I really like the commentary team of Dod March and Jim Hall.  They know it is their job to put over the wrestlers and the action in the ring, not themselves.  A traditional two-man commentary team that focuses on the match in front of them, not making jokes trying to make you like them.  That gets a big thumbs up from me.

 

This was shot with multiple cameras (I think three) and manages to capture all the action.  A top quality independent production.

 

At the beginning of each match, a graphic appears telling you the competitors and the stipulation of the match (Elimination, Hardcore, Title, etc.).  Kind of like the old NWA World Championship Wrestling Saturday Night  show, back when they taped it in a TV studio.  Also, between matches there are brief "transition videos" previewing the next match.  Very well done, in my opinion.

 

Each disc has "Play" and "Chapter Selection" options.  "Chapter Selection" allows you match-by-match access, which is great.  The thing I do not like about it is that the menu graphics are that of a movie theater.  I know it was produced by Marquee Wrestling, so I get the Marquee on the menu.  But I think the movie screen menu should be something wrestling related instead.

 

The packaging for the DVD is very nice looking.  The disc labels and cover design are well done.  The spine is a little plain, but what really hurts the packaging, in my opinion, are the typos in the match listing.  The back cover refers to Gage Octane as "Cage Octane" and Joey E as "Joe E."  Minor errors, but I think they should have been caught.

 

TOTAL SCORE = 10 / 12
