Since I havent seen any ROH from this year bar the odd match, does anyone have any recomendations of what I should check out?

 

thanks!

This year is really the best year for ROH and what I consider their breakout year. As far as good shows go here are some of the more critically acclaimed shows.

 

The Three Third Anniversary Shows

Back To Basics

Stalemate

Manhattan Mayhem

Nowhere To Run

Death Before Dishonor 3 All The Way Through Punk:The Final Chapter(if you're interested in Punk's heel turn after he wins the belt, which is said to be one of the best storylines in the companies history.)

Glory By Honor 4

Joe vs Kobashi

 

To be honest I'm very pro ROH so I think all of 2005 is worth checking out, so I hope you like whatever you end up seeing.

Here's my list of ROH's good stuff for 2005. July 8th is the latest show I've seen, so it's obviously not complete. I'll say that the best shows in my opinion were 2/19, 4/2 and 5/7. 3/15 has been the only "stinker" all year, and compared to some promotions, it really wasn't bad at all.
