I think it's really cool that ROH has made a few compilation DVD's that cover specific rivalries. Without question, this feud was easily one of the most memorable in the entire history of ROH. Jimmy Jacobs & BJ Whitmer are forever linked. You can't talk about one without talking about the other. This DVD set does a great job chronicling their history with each other. Disk 1 covers, for the most part, their time spent as a tag team in 2005. Their match at Manhattan Mayhem against Generation Next was easily the best match on Disk 1. The last match on Disk 1 is the infamous match from Dragon Gate Challenge where Whitmer powerbombed Jacobs from the top rope to the floor. Disk 1 also includes a shoot interview with both Jimmy Jacobs & BJ Whitmer (which I believe was taped sometime in 2014). It was a really cool interview, as Jacobs & Whitmer went over their whole history with each other. Disk 2 pretty much covers the remainder of their feud from June 2006 to their climactic Steel Cage Match in March of 2007. As far as the matches go, there are a few matches on here that, while fine/decent, are pretty average, but for the most part, the matches are really good to great. I would highly recommend getting this DVD compilation, especially if you're new to ROH and want to look back at one of the greatest feuds in company history.
