Jack_Bauer 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I am gonna have to say that my fave American fed is ROH, even though my opinion is hindered that I have seen all of ONE show from CZW, FOUR shows from TNA and NOTHING else from any indy fed. So Ring of Honor is my favourite since I have everything up to Wrestlerave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Unless SD! has had an awful October (I don't get SD! so I wouldn't know) I don't see how Smackdown! is worse then RAW at all. The Smackdowns! I saw from September were awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I'm also getting into Puro (and oddly enough, since no-one from the Puro Forum wants me banned, I dont bitch and complain in there) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Here's mine ranked in order: TNA RoH (would be #1 if I could watch it more often. I'm looking at YOU TOM!!!) MLW IWA RAW SD That's the order of interest I have in seeing the shows from week to week (or tape to tape as it is for RoH). It's a shame SD! sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I watch Raw because I cant bear to Watch Steph Problem with Indy wrestling as a whole is that its badly produced junk, so Raw and Smackdown are really all there is for me. I got Judgement Day on DVD there on Monday, and entertainment wise, it was more entertaining than the last ROH dvd i got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 SD! sucks now? That's a shame. My friend sent me all of September's SD!s and I loved it. I'll rank it- 1) ROH 2) SD! 3) TNA 4) RAW I haven't seen any ROH since 8.16, SD! since 9.25 and TNA since the week before WarGames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Bauer 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Smackdowns have been better than RAW I feel. I honestly don't see how anyone can see RAW as being better than Smackdown. The storylines are mostly pathetic and wouldn't go into the 'entertaining' bracket. The wrestling is awful as well. The two good matches Ive seen from RAW recently have been Rob Van Dam v Christian Ladder and Storm/RVD v Christian/Storm. For anyone wondering, mines is only a four horse race and is : 1. ROH 2. Smackdown 3. TNA 4. RAW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jay Z. Hollywood Report post Posted October 16, 2003 The thing is, "the best fed in North America" is an opinion, there's no real fact to it. People can like ROH because of the "strong style" wrestling and the highspots, and that their cards read like the "All Star Series" of wrestling. Not to mention the killer production values (I really dig the lights and new rails, plus they seem to have upgraded their cameras.) People can say MLW is the best because of their nationwide syndication deal, they have buckets of money, and people enjoy the ECW-style/tribute product they offer, and they do try to innovate (4th Dimension match.) People can say IWA:MS is the best fed because they put on some of the sickest deathmatches you'll ever see, as well as some of the best pure wrestling you'll ever see. (Hero/Punk, Jacobs/Shelley, and TPI~!) People can say Wildside is the best product in North America because their booking does an excellent job of crafting storylines and making you care about the wrestlers. People can say CZW is the best product because they go out of their way to please their fans, and have discovered some of the best talent in the country. They also pioneered the "ultraviolent hardcore" style, which a lot of people love. People can say PWG is the best product right now because so far they've put on consistently excellent cards, book logically, employ the best workers on the West Coast, and they have a unique approach to the product (wrestling can be *gasp* fun and humourous!) People can say TNA is the best because they have a PPV deal, a syndicated TV show, and have the X Division as well as big names and "legends." People can say WWE is the best because they're the only global multi-million dollar company, and let's face it, they do employ the best wrestlers on this side of the ocean. So it's really all a matter of taste, and what floats your boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
