Preliminary matches

Next, Jay Briscoe took on Mark Briscoe. Jay delivered three consecutive Jay-Drillers to Mark for the win.
Next, Homicide took on Steve Corino, who brought out Simply Luscious, Samoa Joe, C. W. Anderson and Michael Shane as members of his Group. Homicide attacked Corino with the microphone to start the match. Near the end of the match, Corino delivered an Old School Expulsion to gain a near-fall and then applied a cobra clutch on Homicide but he made it to the ropes so Corino dragged him in the middle of the ring to apply the cobra clutch and win by submission. After the match, Corino continued to choke Homicide, leading to the crowd jumping the rail to brawl in the ring.
Later, a match was about to begin between The Ring Crew Express (Kevin Dunn and Kirby Marcos) and The Outcast Killaz but Gary Michael Cappetta interrupted them before the match even began and brought out C. W. Anderson, who attacked both teams and issued an open challenge for a match which was answered by CM Punk. Anderson was about to hit an Anderson Spinebuster but Punk rolled through with a sunset flip and pinned Anderson for the win.
Next, Bryan Danielson took on Samoa Joe. Joe apparently knocked out Danielson with knee strikes in the head and nailed a powerbomb but as he went to pick up him, Danielson pinned him with a small package for the win.
The following match was a three-way between

Reception
J.D. Dunn of 411Mania rated the event a score of 7 out of 10, writing "This is another one of those cases of too much of a good thing. At nearly 4 hours, it could use a good trimming. The riot took up nearly half an hour with all the replays. But, otherwise, it was four hours of solid wrestling and angle development."[2]
Derek Burgan of Pro Wrestling Torch wrote "ROH's First Year Anniversary Show is definitely going down in the top 10 ROH shows of All Time. The fan riot was quite the spectacle and both matches with Paul London were incredible."[3]
