What ROH dvds are worth getting

[slabinskia]

Like the title says,what ring of honor dvds are worth getting ?I haven't seen much roh so take that into consideration.

[Guest GoJoe]

I'd check out the Milestone series, specifically the Wrestlemania weekend shows which are Dragon Gate Challenge, Supercard of Honor and the soon to be released Better Than Our Best.

[Cuban Linx]

In general you want to get the more recent stuff, ROH from April 04 to present is where the good stuff is, before that the shows are very hit and miss.

[Hawk 34]

Right now, ROH is having a $10 sale for select dvd’s so that’s a good chance to into some of the older stuff that’s worth getting… I’d rec’d these shows from the $10 sale

 

Night of The Champions

Epic Encounter

Death Before Dishonor

Main Event Spectacles

War of the Wire

ROH Reborn: Stage 2

Testing the Limits

Midnight Express Reunion

3YA Night 2

Back to Basics

The Final Showdown

Nowhere to Run

 

These are the non-sale dvds that are “must own”

 

2002

Unscripted

Glory by Honor

At Our Best

Generation Next

Death Before Dishonor II Part 2

All Star Extravaganza II

Final Battle 04

Manhattan Mayhem

Redemption

Punk: The Final Chapter

Joe Vs Kobashi

This Means War

Final Battle 05

Tag Wars 06

4YA

Best in the World

Dragon Date Challenge

Supercard of Honor

 

There's alot of great matches not included because they were on "one match shows", such as Joe/Punk 1 and II, Gibson/Danielson and Danielson/Strong II.

 

I was going for more complete shows.

[Kardo]

I'd add Vendetta and Survival of the Fittest 2004 to that list. Danielson/Strong II is on a great show, with Joe/Daniels and Gen Next vs. the Embassy.

[Hawk 34]

Vendetta, really was just a one match show for me. As great as Roddy/Danielson was, the rest was flat. There's better Joe/Daniels and Embassy/Gen Next stuff out there.

 

JvPII was obviously great but I wouldn't rec'd as a whole, some shows can lack a ****+ match but still be worthwhile because it was strong throughout.

[Guest aural angel dust]

I'd recommend Vendetta, it was all good apart from the Adam Pearce squash which, yes, is a squash. I think it might also be the one where Colt Cabana cuts his only decent serious face promo and Claudio gets dumped on his head. Twice. You can't really go wrong with it.

 

Manhatten Mayhem is consistent all the way through. And all the tag team matches from Tag Wars 2006 make that one worth getting despite most of the singles matches blowing.

[JustJoe2k5]

I'll recommend the original All-Star Extravaganza from '02.

 

-An above average spotfest between Da Hit Squad / Divine Storm / Special K / The S.A.T.

-A gauntlet series that includes A.J. Styles, Bryan Danielson, Paul London, and Red

-An appearance from a fairly recognizable name in Philadelphia

-A great six-man tag team match in Christopher Daniels, Donovan Morgan, and Samoa Joe vs. Doug Williams, Homicide, and Low Ki

-And a Zero-One tag team main event between Low Ki / Steve Corino and Masato Tanaka / Shinjiro Otani

 

And it's only $12 at rohwrestling.com.

[tigeraid]

Whew... just my personal suggestions:

 

Punk: The Final Chapter

Final Battle 2005

Joe vs Kobashi

Weekend of Thunder 1 and 2

Dragon Gate Invasion

Dragon Gate Challenge

[Guest Coffey]

Joe Vs. Kobashi & Manhattan Mayhem are the two best I've seen. They'll hook ya if you're not already hooked.

 

Joe Vs. Kobashi is a main event that lived up to all the hype. Manhattan Mayhem is just a great, all-around card. Very entertaining.

[Coolclint]

Supercard of Honor, what with its run of awesome that includes GenNext (Aries/Evans) vs. Sydal/Styles, Danielson vs. Strong 3, and the best match I've seen live, Blood Generation vs. DO-FIXER six-man tag.

[Guest BarnacleBill]

I'm about 2 and a half hours into Better than our best and it might be the best roh show I've ever seen,it doesn't have a match as blow away as the dg 6-man from 3/31 but what it does have is constant good to great wrestling.

[Hawk 34]

The entire MILESTONE SERIES was just great stuff, even Arena Warfare which was easily the weakest show still had some good stuff.

 

Nothing will top Do-Fixer/Blood Generation this year. Easily the MOTY.

[DMann2003]

I like War of the Wire a lot- just rewatched the AJ Styles/Samoa Joe match, felt good to see such hard hitting wrestling again

 

And that Barb Wire match? Not pretty, but not boring either

 

And yes Manhattan Mayhem maybe one of the best top-to-bottom shows I've seen from any group, up there with Canadian Stampede and Great American Bash 1989

[hyperchord24]

I can't find any of this stuff on rohwrestling.com. Can you find it anywhere else?

How can you not find it? Go to ROHwrestling.com and click on SHOP ONLINE and go to RING OF HONOR DVD's and select the show you want. A handful of shows are out of print (being remastered) but about 90% of them are available for purchase, including the highly praised Milestone Series.

[Mole]

I got the 3rd Anniversary show today, that I bought on eBay. It is pretty good so far, but I only got to the Punk/Spanky match. It is my first taste of ROH, so, they might have gotten a new fan.

 

And it looks like bob barron is in the crowd.

[bob_barron]

Yep, I was there for that show.

 

I forget if that's the match where I started feeling sick or not.

[Mole]

HA, I knew it was you.

[Guest Timmer]

Between you guys talking about it on here, you tube, and the WWE product being what it is... looks like it's time to invest some time and see what ROH is all about.

 

Sounds like some really good suggestions that people made here. Going with the Generation Next DVD and two tix to the next Philly show.

[Garth]

That's great you're taking an interest in the product. I feel a more recent DVD would have been the way to go, so that you were more aware of the current product going into the show. I suggest getting up to date with the video updates that ROH puts out.

I can understand what you mean by going with a more recent DVD and there were a couple that were suggested in this thread that looked promising. I elected to go with hopefully a "safe" pick since I have had some exposure to seeing Shelley, Strong, and Aries in TNA and have enjoyed what I have seen and figure that they are even better in ROH.

 

I am hoping that the Philly show will be good and I can see whole matches to determine how much I am going to like the current product...
