Nigel's spiky hair is SO 2005. This is essentially worked as a (very) competitive squash, as Joe does a lot of demolishing. Even when Nigel is in control, he never actually looks like a threat to Joe. Given where both were in the company hierarchy, that was how it should go down. Finish is really fun as Joe just goes nuts, knees Nigel in the head a few times and chokes him out. *** 1/2

This is a great showcase for Nigel. He gets to showcase a lot here against the top dog in Joe, and it's awesome. Joe obviously offers plenty of his always-great violent tendencies as well. I felt like it was just the right balance of Nigel getting some time to shine, while also showcasing where they stand on the ROH totem pole with Joe destroying him. It's a very good little match! ***1/2
