“Main event (Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries) and Danielson-Morishima are both great matches, with the main event worth going out of your way to see.” – Dave Meltzer at WrestlingObserver.com
“For the $10 pricetag, this will be a better show for your dollar than any other PPV this year in terms of wrestling content….The Manhattan crowd really adds a great, unique atmosphere to the show….Danielson vs. Morishima might very well be the Abdullah the Butcher vs. Bruiser Brody of their generation if they keep having brawls like that. For guys who are considered two of the best workers right now, that was one intense brawl….Nigel vs. Aries was just awesome….” – Mike Johnson at PWInsider.com
“….an incredible strong PPV effort and there are plenty of great matches (and great reasons) to purchase this PPV….The main event title match of McGuinness vs. Aries completes “Rising Above” and seals the deal on another excellent Pay Per View. That match, the tag scramble and the Morishima / Danielson encounter are all must see moments of the show, while the undercard matches are a good base that helps to round out the card. I was very impressed with the improved production and special effects elements used to help smooth out the rough edges. This feels more like a “complete” Pay Per View than any previous show, or maybe its that it finally feels like an ROH DVD has been successfully translated into to PPV format.” – Ari Berenstein at 411mania.com
“….there is some great action and I wholeheartedly recommend this pay-per-view The final match alone is worth of the $14.95 that my cable company charged….yet another strong ROH pay-per-view with great matches and innovative storytelling.” – Jason Powell at ProWrestling.Net
“….the atmosphere for this match (Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries) were downright incredible and this is an early contender for match of the year….Recommendation: (10.0) From start to finish, this was a great show….This show gets a big thumbs up from me. You won’t get better value for you dollar from any other promotion given ROH’s price point. ROH really pulled everything together from a production standpoint as well and the show really has great underground feel without looking cheaply produced. This PPV is the complete package…. If you’re on the fence about ordering one of the ROH PPVs, don’t hesitate to purchase this.” – Sean Radican at Pro Wrestling Torch
“There is nothing that I can say that will do this match justice; all I can say is that you have to see it. I don’t care if you’re a casual fan, a hardcore fan, or hardly a fan at all, you will be absolutely amazed at the work of Austin Aries and Nigel McGuinness….Ring of Honor sets the bar so high for professional wrestling in the United States it’s going to make WrestleMania seem dull….Thank you Ring of Honor for giving real wrestling fans something to enjoy. I don’t care if it’s boxing, mixed martial arts, or professional sports, you won’t get more action than what you will get in this two hour masterpiece.” – Richard Gray at wrestlingnewsworld.com
