1. ECW Title Match: Ezekiel Jackson vs. Christian (C). This was a good match and was better than expected. These two guys put out a good opener. Jackson worked on Christians back through out. There was several near falls and it looked like Jackson was going to win the belt on a couple of occasions. In the end Christian got the win after he finally hit Jackson with the Killswitch. ***1/4

2. United States Championship Match: MVP vs. The Miz (C). This match was made by Teddy Long after the Miz came in his office and started bragging. So Teddy made the match official for tonight. This was an okay match there was something missing to make it anything worth wild. MVP looked like he was on the way to winning the belt. There was several near falls but the Miz got the victory after rolling MVP up. **3/4

3. WWE Title Match: Sheamus (C) vs. Randy Orton. The crowd was pro Orton. Sheamus worked as the heel and the face. The fans ate Orton up as they were cheering for Orton through out. This was a decent match. These two guys went back and fourth. The end came when Sheamus and Orton were on the floor and Cody Rhodes came out from the crowd and attacked Sheamus causing a DQ. The ref started arguing with Rhodes and Orton hit Sheamus with the RKO as Orton pinned Sheamus. The ref walked right by and rang the bell making the match end on a DQ. After the match Legacy fell apart as Orton attacked Rhodes and DiBiase. Orton turned around and ate a boot from Sheamus.**1/4

4. Women's Title Match: Mickie James vs. Michelle McCool (C). McCool came out first and said she hasn't seen Mickie. Then Layla came out with the fat suit on. Mickie came running out and took out Layla. The bell rang and McCool came charging at Mickie but she kicked Layla and then Mickie hit her with the DDT for the win. After the match Divas came out with cake and then they threw it onto McCool and Layla. N/R

5. World Heavyweight Title Match: The Undertaker (C) vs. Rey Mysterio. This was a good match as these two worked well with each other. The match was too short as if it was a couple of minutes longer it could have been great. The end came when Mysterio hit Taker with two 619s but then Taker caught him in mid air and hit him with the Last Ride for the three count. ***

6. Royal Rumble Match. This was a great match as I was on the edge of my seat during the final moments. C.M. Punk early on dominated and was in the ring by himself and he did his straight edge speak. Beth Phoenix was in the Rumble match but got eliminated by C.M. Punk. Triple H got eliminated by Shawn Michaels. John Cena and Shawn Michaels rolled until Jericho came out and then. EDGE at number 29 came out and eliminated Jericho. The Final four was Edge, Michaels, Cena, and Batista. Batista eliminated Michaels, Cena then eliminated Batista. The final two were Edge and John Cena. Edge won the royal rumble after eliminating Cena. I may be overrating this but I don't care. I'm a huge Edge fan and I can't believe that he won. ****1/4

This was a good show. The Rumble was really good but the undercard fell a little flat.

Overall Score: 7.8/10

1. The Young Bucks vs. Up in Smoke. This was a good way to open the show as the Young Bucks are a great team and Up in Smoke isn't too bad themselves. These two teams mixed the pace up with some highflying and some slower mat work. In the end the Young Bucks won after they hit the More Bang for Your Buck for the three. ***

2. Sonjay Dutt vs. Delirious. This was an interesting match to say the last as majority of the match was slow and dull with some good moments here and there but then it picked up towards the end of the match. The ending of this match was lackluster as Delirious won after getting him in a pinning combination as they were exchanging holds. **

3. 4 Corner Survival Match: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Petey William vs. El Generico vs. Chris Hero. This was a good match as you should expect with these guys through out the match Hero and Castagnoli were helping each other out as the fans ate it up. All four of these men put on a good effort. Mr. Four Corner Survival Claudio Castagnoli won after he hit Petey with the Riccolla Bomb ***1/2

4. Anything Goes Boston Street Fight: Kevin Steen vs. Eddie Edwards. These guys started in the crowd as Steen took Edwards from the looker room. The brawled in the crowd to begin the match. They got inside the ring where Eddie Edwards went for a dive and he got hit with a chair on his way down and he injured his elbow. This match would have been better if it wasn't for the injury as it slowed the match down. Kevin Steen got the win after he hit Edwards with a Package Piledriver through several chairs. **3/4

5. Dark City Fight Club vs. Alex Payne & Bobby Dempsey. This was a squash match to get the Dark City Fight Club but I think that it made them look not so good as this was sloppy and uneventful. The end came when The Fight Club hit Payne with the Project Mayhem. *

6. Nigel McGuinness vs. Roderick Strong. Nigel and Roderick always seem to put on very good matches when they're in the ring together and this is another very good match between these two. It was weird as it seemed like one moment Nigel was face and the next he was heel. These guys hit each other with signature moves; Nigel with the Tower of London and Roderick with backbreakers. This two went back and fourth until Roderick hit Nigel with a Gibson Driver for a two count and then Roderick hit Nigel with another Gibson Driver for the three. ***3/4

7. Austin Aries & Rhett Titus vs. Colt Cabana & Kenny Omega. This was a comedy tag match more than anything else. Colt & Kenny one upped Titus and Aries had to bail Titus out. All four guys looked good in this one. Colt had the Billy's Goat Curse on Titus and Aries came in with the ROH World Title and the ref got distracted and took the belt away and then Aries hit Cabana with a low blow and Titus got the pinfall for his team. This was better than what I was expecting and Omega looks like he could main event shows down the road. ***1/4

8. Davey Richards vs. Bryan Danielson. This was a great match as these two guys just killed it for 40 minutes. Richards worked on Danielson's arm through out the match. During the match Danielson hit Richards with a dive into the crowd which led to a 19 count on Richards before he got in the ring. Danielson and Richards went back and fourth as they hit each other with stiff shot after stiff shot. Richards hit Danielson with a DR Driver for a two count. Danielson elbowed Richards at least 20 times for a two count. Richards in the end was victorious as he made Danielson tap out to the Kimura. ****1/2

This is another solid show from ROH. The whole Final Countdown tour is hard to rate as all the shows have a solid undercard and two very good to great matches. I give to edge to Chicago as being the best show of the tour so far but this was a very good show.

Overall Score: 8.0/10
