Match #1: Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, and Jack Evans vs. Dixie, Izzy, and Angel Dust (Generation Next – 5/22/04)
Dixie hits a tornado DDT on Aries. Angel Dust enters the ring but falls victim to a neckbreaker. He tries a series of quick rollups on Evans to no avail. Izzy headscissors Evans and connects with a dropkick. Evans answers with a german suplex and Generation Next isolate Izzy until he lands a corkscrew dive to the floor. Evans hits a reverse hurricanrana on Izzy. Angel Dust plants Evans with a michinoku driver. Aries connects with his powerdrive elbow on Angel Dust. Strong powerbombs Dixie into a backbreaker. Izzy hits a springboard blockbuster on Strong. Generation Next recover with triple finishers (450 splash, backbreaker, and a 630) for the win at 7:43. I actually liked Special K receiving a good bit of offense, especially because Generation Next weren’t done for the night. Still, the finish got this match’s point across and this was a fine showcase. **½
Match #2: Hydro vs. Alex Shelley (Generation Next – 5/22/04)
Shelley controls on the mat to start the match. Hydro finds an opening to hit a snap suplex. He adds a back suplex but Shelley answers with a neckbreaker and a backbreaker. Shelley charges with double knees and comes off the top with a flying knee strike. Hydro escapes Shellshock and tries a quick rollup. Shelley almost reverses into the Border City Stretch but Hydro rolls through and applies a muta lock. Shelly hits Shellshock and synchs in the Border City Stretch for the victory at 7:29. If nothing else, this was an interesting match in ROH history as Shelley was trying to break out as a potential main event entity and Hydro was just trying to transition away from Special K. Both men put in a solid effort and effectively highlighted themselves. **½
Match #3: Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, and Jack Evans vs. Jay Briscoe, Mark Briscoe, John Walters, and Jimmy Rave (Generation Next – 5/22/04)
Strong holds his own on the mat against Rave and Mark. Shelley and Walters have a nice exchange of chain wrestling. Rave is able to contain Evans by keeping him grounded. Aries lures Mark into a headlock but Mark returns the favor. Walter gets Aries in a surfboard position and transitions into a dragon sleeper. Strong and Jay get into a skirmish after a few chops from Strong anger Jay. Aries attempts to escape a headscissors from Walters, but Walters keeps driving his head into the canvas. Of course, Aries eventually escapes. Both teams keep trading control with no decisive advantage. That is, until Mark levels Evans with a brutal clothesline. Walters elevates Evans onto the Briscoes’ knees. The faces work him over until he connects with a pele kick on Jay and makes the tag. Strong hits a backbreaker on Jay with an assist from Shelley. Generation Next isolate him until he catches Strong with a yakuza kick and tags out. Rave superkicks Aries. Walters hits a backcracker on Shelley and trades german suplexes with Strong. Strong wins the exchange with a gutbuster. Walters gets worked over before tagging in the fresh Mark. He connects with a missile dropkick on Aries and the Briscoes follow with the doomsday device for a nearfall. Rave applies a crossface on Shelley but he reaches the bottom rope. The action starts to break down. Evans and Mark land stereo shooting star presses. Evans lays him out with a high-angle back suplex. Mark answers with the Cutthroat Driver. Jay hits the Jay Driller on Strong. Aries catches Jay with a 450 splash. Walters hits a gutwrench suplex from the middle rope on Aries. Shelley connects with a double stomp on Walters and synchs in the Border City Stretch for the win at 41:22. The Generation Next experiment needed to work for the survival of Ring of Honor. I doubt there was a better way to introduce the group than with this match. The long feeling out process in the opening fifteen minutes established everyone’s role in the faction. It was fun seeing Generation Next introduce their tandem offense and the forty-one minutes flew by. Gabe took a huge chance here and it paid off big time. ****
Match #4: Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong vs. Matt Stryker, Jimmy Rave, and John Walters (World Title Classic – 6/12/04)
Generation Next attack Stryker until Rave and Walters make the save. Walters just powerbombs Evans onto the wooden floor. Good Lord. Stryker is already bleeding as referees check on him. He military presses Aries to the floor onto his stablemates. Walters grounds Strong while laying in strikes. The faces isolate Strong until he creates an opening from Rave and tags out. Generation Next triple team Rave behind the referee’s back and isolate him. The referee misses Rave making many tags. He eventually fights off all three of his opponents and makes a clear tag. Stryker goes crazy and cleans house with german suplexes. Walters hits a backcracker on Strong and Rave follows with a flying hurricanrana. Stryker hits a superplex on Aries for a nearfall. Walters takes out Shelley with a backpack chinbreaker. Rave applies a crossface on Strong but Aries breaks up the hold with a 450 splash. Aries locks in the rings of saturn on Rave for the victory at 16:32. The story they tried telling with Stryker was odd. At first, it seemed like Rave and Walters were trying to keep him out of the ring due to his blood loss. However, down the stretch, he was the standout member of his team and didn’t lose a step. That aside, this was another solid showcase for Generation Next as they continue to be established. ***¼
Match #5: Roderick Strong and Jack Evans vs. Izzy and Dixie (Reborn: Completion – 7/17/04)
Izzy sends Evans to the floor with a dropsault. He follows with a springboard dive to the floor. Dixie kind of hits a springboard hurricanrana on Strong and Izzy adds a springboard blockbuster. Evans interjects himself from the apron, allowing Generation Next to isolate Dixie. Evans lands a moonsault onto Dixie, jumping off of Izzy who was on Strong’s shoulders. That gets a nearfall. Izzy lands a series of kicks and hits a reverse hurricanrana on Evans. Strong elevates Dixie into a backbreaker. Evans adds the 630 splash for the win at 9:01. Once again, Izzy and Dixie look competitive but Generation Next remain strong in the end. Strong and Evans are probably the most fun Generation Next duo to watch and they worked well with Special K to deliver a decent opener barring a few sloppy moments. **½
Match #6: Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, and Jack Evans vs. John Walters, Matt Stryker, and Jimmy Jacobs (Death Before Dishonor II Night 1 – 7/23/04)
Ricky Steamboat is in the faces’ corner. Walters snaps off a few armdrags on Aries. Generation Next find an opening to isolate Stryker by targeting his left leg. Jacobs eventually tags into the match and cleans house. Strong elevates Jacobs into a missile dropkick from Evans. Now Generation Next work over Jacobs. He avoids some offense and makes the tag.

Evans misses a 630 splash and Walters applies a wacky submission for the victory at 16:47. This was a well-structured six-man tag team match with the face team showing some cohesive double team maneuvers. Walters and Stryker came off like an experienced team while Jacobs added a different dynamic. The crowd was really into the action down the stretch and the Steamboat involvement wasn’t overplayed. ***½
Match #7: Roderick Strong and Jack Evans vs. John Walters and Matt Stryker (Death Before Dishonor II Night 2 – 7/24/04)
Stryker elevates Evans into a powerbomb from Walters. Walters hits a lungblower on Strong and dropkicks him to the floor. Ricky Steamboat throws him back into the ring.

Austin Aries attacks Steamboat and Stryker leaves the ring to make the save. This allows Strong to hit the Spinal Shock on Walters for the win at 10:05. The action was good while it lasted, but this felt like it was designed for merely advancing the feud. This was the last appearance for Walters and Stryker on this compilation, but they had great chemistry as a team. **¾
Match #8: Austin Aries vs. CM Punk (Glory By Honor III – 9/11/04)
Watching this match is pretty surreal after seeing how far they’ve come in eight years. They trade control of a wristlock and take the action to the mat. Aries escapes a headscissors but misses the dropkick. Aries rolls through another wristlock and connects with a dropkick this time. He misses the IED but recovers with a baseball slide. Punk misses a plancha and collides with the barricade. Aries lands a corkscrew plancha but lands hard on the floor. In the ring, Aries takes over until Punk connects with a missile dropkick. Punk follows with an enzuigiri. Aries blocks a shining wizard with his injured arm. Punk tries a fujiwara armbar but Aries reaches the bottom rope. Aries hits a gutbuster and connects with his powerdrive elbow. He follows with a brainbuster for a nearfall. They battle up top. Punk rolls through a sunset bomb and connects with a shining wizard. He hits Welcome to Chicago and reapplies the fujiwara armbar. Aries won’t tap. Todd Sinclair gets bumped and Generation Next attack Punk. Ace Steel makes the save. Steve Corino returns to Ring of Honor to help Punk as well. Punk sneaks in a rollup amidst the chaos for the victory at 18:56. They weren’t lighting the world on fire before the convoluted finish, but the arm work on Aries was sound and they seemed intent on sticking to that story. The referee bump felt out of place but the return of Steve Corino went over well with the crowd. The final few minutes almost completely took the attention away from the actual match and these two would top themselves at Death Before Dishonor the next year. **¾
Match #9: Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, and Jack Evans vs. CM Punk, Ace Steel, and Jimmy Jacobs (Gold – 10/15/04)
Shelley gets the better of Jacobs to start the match. They slap each other and follow with stiff strikes. Shelley eventually backs away from an enraged Jacobs. Punk and Aries have an exchange ending with Aries connecting with a springboard back elbow. Punk responds with a butterfly backbreaker. Evans out-dances Punk but falls victim to a delayed vertical suplex. Generation Next retreat to the floor. Punk and Steel follow out with stereo dives. In the ring, Jacobs hits a spear on Evans. Shelley cuts off Jacobs and Generation Next isolate him. He lands a top-rope senton onto Shelley and makes the tag. Punk hits a DDT-stunner combination on Shelley and Aries. Tracy Brooks gets caught by a baseball slide from Aries at ringside and the match breaks down. Ricky Steamboat takes Brooks back to the locker room as all six men brawl. Once the action settles down, Generation Next work over Punk in the ring. There’s some miscommunication between Aries and Shelley at one point. Steel tags into the match and cleans house. He hits a tiger driver on Aries and an implant DDT on Shelley. Punk and Steel hit a swantan-Spinal Shock combination on Evans.

Evans lands a springboard corkscrew dive to the floor. Roderick Strong tries to interfere but Steamboat stops him. Punk hits the Pepsi Plunge for the win at 32:20. The match didn’t feel overly long at thirty-two minutes, but the action had a difficult time flowing smoothly at points. The transitions between heat segments were awkward (the camera missing Brooks getting attacked), but there were some great interactions throughout. Even though Jacobs was replacing an injured Cabana, his sequences with Shelley were the highlight of this match for me. There was also some foreshadowing with an Aries/Shelley mix-up. They probably had better in them but this match accomplished its goal. ***¼

Evans goes flying with a springboard kick but completely whiffs. Strong connects with a Sick Kick on Steel and Evans is able to freely interfere. This allows Generation Next to take control.

Aries misses a flying elbow drop and goes crashing through the table. In the ring, Aries finlay rolls Steel onto the ladder but misses a 450 splash and collides with the ladder. Steel sit-out powerbombs Evans from the apron through another table at ringside. Punk hits Strong with the Pepsi Plunge onto the ladder for the victory at 19:57. This brawl was entertaining in a “car crash” sense. Most of the big spots involving various weapons didn’t go according to plan, but the crowd hung with them and didn’t seem to mind. Evans’ interference made perfect sense given the no DQ stipulation, and he was put through hell despite not even being apart of the match. Both teams threw a lot at the fans, but enough stuck to make this a worthwhile brawl. ***
Match #11: Jack Evans vs. Alex Shelley (Third Anniversary Celebration Part 3 – 2/26/05)
Shelley rocks Evans with a forearm. He blocks a wheelbarrow bulldog and stretches Evans in unfriendly ways. Shelley interrupts a springboard maneuver and Evans falls to the canvas.

Evans answers with a DDT but gets caught by a superkick for a two count. Evans connects with a flying knee strike and hits a brainbuster from the middle rope. He finds knees on a 630 splash. Shelley stretches Evans knee wildly and Evans taps out at 13:45. I don’t think anyone bought Evans winning this match, as evident by the crowd only popping for Evans kicking out of Shelley’s finishers. Still, Shelley came out of this match looking strong, which seems to have been Evans’ purpose here. **¾

Aries punts Shelley in the head, hits a brainbuster, and lands a 450 splash to retain his title at 19:32. These two showed their familiarity with each other to establish themselves as equals from the onset. What followed was a terrific match that involved Aries working over his former stablemate’s neck of all things to pick up the win. They did an excellent job of making it seem like Shelley had a chance to take the title here and just about everyone bit on the nearfall from the first Shellshock. Manhattan Mayhem is often cited as one of the best shows in ROH history and this match is part of the reason why. ***¾
Match #13: Roderick Strong vs. Alex Shelley (New Frontiers – 6/4/05)
Shelley lands a plancha to the floor. Strong throws him into the barricade but gets back dropped into the crowd. Strong tries to escape to no avail.

Shelley locks in the Border City Stretch and hits two inverted DDTs. Strong avoids a superkick and hits a backbreaker. He hits a release suplex along with a half nelson backbreaker for the win at 20:02. They probably could have cut a few minutes from this match, as they traded moves for so long down the stretch that the finish seemed abrupt and not poignant enough. The early brawling throughout the crowd was a lot of fun, though. While only clips of their previous match are shown on this compilation, it looked like this outing was a step below their first. ***¼
Match #14: Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, and Matt Sydal vs. Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley, and Abyss (Redemption – 8/12/05)

This storyline seemed to be firing on all cylinders here, with Shelley aligning himself with the heel Embassy and Generation Next emerging as the fiery face group. Abyss also added a great dynamic and his inclusion made perfect sense. This was a highly entertaining six-man tag team match and we’ll see if they could top themselves during the rest of this compilation. ***½

This was on par with their previous six-man tag team match but brought something totally different to the table. The hatred felt real throughout the entire eighteen minutes and when the brawling started to become mundane, they picked things up with some huge table spots. This was the chaotic sort of match that was characteristic of Ring of Honor at the time. Although things felt disorganized, by the end of the contest you had a sense of excitement about where the feud was headed. ***½
Match #16: Austin Aries, Jack Evans, Matt Sydal, and AJ Styles vs. Alex Shelley, Jimmy Rave, Prince Nana, and Abyss (Vendetta – 11/5/05)

Aries and Sydal corner Nana, but Daizee Haze turns heel and low blows them! Jade Chung tries to make the save but Haze hits her with a snapmare driver. Rave hits a pedigree on Sydal for the victory at 20:02. A lot of my comments on the previous match apply here. This felt chaotic and hectic, but by the end of the match I was looking forward to watching Steel Cage Warfare. In fact, this did a lot to setup the blowoff in the cage without feeling like mere storyline advancement. The Haze turn was well done and Nana’s involvement added to this match instead of detracting from it. This was another great inclusion in the Generation Next/Embassy saga. ***¾
Match #17: Steel Cage Warfare: Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley, Abyss, and Prince Nana vs. Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Jack Evans, and Matt Sydal (Steel Cage Warfare – 12/3/05)
The Embassy will have the advantage after their win at Vendetta. Aries and Raves start the match. They brawl around ringside and eventually enter the cave. Rave tries to climb out but Aries crotches him on the top rope. Aries keeps the advantage until Shelley enters the match. Aries does a decent job of fighting them off for awhile, but he eventually falls victim to the numbers game. Sydal evens the score and lands a moonsault onto both of his opponents.

Shelley is eliminated as well. Nana is left with Aries and Strong. Aries lands the 450 splash on Nana, giving Generation Next the win at 41:34. The only real criticism (and this has been said before) is that the intervals between entrances lasted a bit too long. There were portions of the match where the Embassy controlled more than they needed to, such as the period before and after Nana’s entrance. Still, as far as providing a satisfying conclusion to this feud, this match succeeded. The spots from Evans were insane and considering both men’s continued success in Ring of Honor after this match, it was fitting for Aries and Strong to be the sole survivors. This was a great spectacle that tied up all of the storytelling elements that have been introduced over the past few months. ****
Overall: There’s no denying that Generation Next was a resounding success – a success that might have saved Ring of Honor from going out of existence. The match quality on this compilation is pretty high, although not as high as some of the other recent ones. Eleven out of seventeen matches crack three stars. However, this compilation is called “The Rise of Generation Next.” Nowhere in the title does “best of” appear. In regards to giving an adequate account of how Generation Next came to be, I think this compilation did an excellent job. Ending with Steel Cage Warfare was also a smart call. Every member of Generation Next has found some success in the professional wrestling business and this DVD provides a look at them during a surge in their careers. Once again, for its storytelling value, The Rise of Generation Next earns a recommendation.
