Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I've havent seen much of ROH and I been looking into buying some DVD's and I was was wondering if someone can give me some good suggestions into what to look into Very little from 2004 and before still hold up compared to the string of shows from 2005 to present day, as ROH shifted from focusing on the main event/dream match formula into making complete cards. A lot of shows were one match shows and the most famous matches such as Punk/Joe trilogy, Aries/Joe, Aries/Danielson 2/3 Falls, Homicide/Corino (Barbed Wire) Danielson/Joe (MXR), all the London, Styles, Danielson matches are out there in the internet world. Here’s a “must†get list from 2005 to now… Bold indicates STRONG suggestion... 2005 3 Year Anniversary Celebration: Night Two -Alex Shelley Vs CM Punk, Jimmy Rave Vs AJ Styles, Danielson and Joe Vs

If you are a Samoa Joe, CM Punk, Paul London, Danielson, Homicide or whomever, they have best of's to get and they are good collections but they usually keep out the big matches for obvious reasons* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 That's my problem with ROH, you have to be pretty wealthy to keep up with everything. What's Buffalo Stampede like Hawk? I've seen Cabana vs. Low Ki from that show and it being a Cabana match I really enjoyed it and the rest of the card looks decent, but not as good as some of the other shows. Also, The 100th Show, looks a great card. Yay or nay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I would say Yay to the 100th show. You get one hell of a brawl in the ROH vs. CZW match, the first encounter of Delirious and Danielson, a fine tag match between the Briscoes vs Sydal and AJ. Theres nothing on the DVD that dissapoints in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 You don't have to be wealthy to keep up. They have $10 DVD sales for shows as recent as early this summer. You might be slightly behind but if you keep a eye out, you can have 10 shows for a easy $100. Not to mention the countless % off sales, buy 3 get 1 free sales. Also, they have video newswires on the website to explain what happened on each show, so you can follow along, even if you skip a show. 100th Show, is a another good show with a fantastic main event. It should be on that list and I don't why I skipped it. Out of 125 (I think) shows, ROH has done, Buffalo Stampede might be in the bottom 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest samoapunk Report post Posted December 12, 2006 I asked this same question in another thread yesterday. I bought Round Robin Challenge at a local store the other day and it was my introduction to ROH. Needless to say that the show along with what I had already read about ROH got me hooked. I already placed an order before I saw this thread and was wondering how I did. Here's what I ordered; Night of Appreciation 4.27.02 Road to the Title 6.22.02 Death Before Dishonor 7.19.03 Reborn: Stage One 4.23.04 Reborn: Stage Two 4.24.04 Manhattan Mayhem 5.27.05 (Hawk 34 stated this one is a must buy so I'm pretty sure it's amazing!) Please lmk if those other ones are good. I got all 6 for a little over $60 shipped so I can't complain either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 The Reborn shows are both pretty good. There's a really good Homicide vs Bryan Danielson match on the first night (I think) I've only seen one of their other encounters so I'm not sure how it holds up against some of their recent stuff. I remember being pretty much blown away the first time I saw it. Manhatten Mayhem is an excellent show. It's got everything. I can't say enough good things about the Jacobs/Whitmer vs Strong & Evans.

Also, they have video newswires on the website to explain what happened on each show, so you can follow along, even if you skip a show. I keep up with the newswires, but in terms of buying shows I'm really behind. As in I only have 6 or 7 ROH shows. Being wealthy to keep up was meant more having a full catalogue of shows. I tend to spend my money on PWG or CHIKARA, because you're looking at 12-16 shows a year as opposed to the amount ROH run. I haven't tried out ordering from the ROH website before though, so I don't really keep up with the offers. Going by what you said and the state of the dollar, I could get probably get close to 20 shows for £100 so maybe I should keep my eye out a little more. Oh, and thanks for the tips.

Garth 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 I only ever buy shows when either the buy 3 get 1 free, or $10 sale is on. The frequency that they occur it seems fairly pointless ordering at full price. I still can't afford to keep right up to date. I tend to buy a clump of about 4 shows that are either one after another, or fairly close together. By the time I can really afford to buy some more shows and there's a sale on I have to skip forward months at a time. Its annoying but I'm used to it now.

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 You don't have to be wealthy to keep up with ROH. You don't really need to buy all the shows, I do fine with the bigger shows and reading the results online. They do frequent 10 dollar sales, buy 3 get 1 free sales, and other fun deals. Basically, if you take the money you've been spending on WWE shit and put it towards ROH, you'll be a much happier wrestling fan (that is unless you only watch the free tv shows).

I just got 10 from Ebay for around $70 and that brings my ROH total to 11 now, so this sale will help me bolster the collection a bit. So far I've watched Reborn Stage One and Manhattan Mayhem out of the ones I bought. Both were AMAZING! The Briscoes/Havana Pitbulls match from Reborn Stage One stood out a lot as well as the humorous Colt Cabana/Nigel McGuiness match from Manhattan Mayhem.

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2006 I've been quite pleased with my ROH buying over the past year. I went from being able to count how many shows I had on both hands (about this time last year) to having so many shows I've lost track of how many I've accumulated. Seriously, when someone stops handing out all their money to WWE for their shitty products and put it towards ROH, wrsetling is fun again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2006 I probably wont take advantage of the 10 dollar sale at Final Battle tomorrow because I want to load up on 2006 shows, but I miht take advantage of the buy 3 get 1 free deal. I'm looking at getting Unified, Supercard of Honor, Death Before Dishonor and perhaps The Bitter End. Here's hoping that they'll have these during intermission.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 At the risk of being a Scrooge, it's a pity they didn't offer the sale before Christmas so I could have ordered some more (I've got Ring Of Homicide and Final Battle '05 to come). Here's hoping for some money so I can order before it ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 Honor Reclaims Boston is worth checking out too. I was at the show, and the Aries/Strong vs. Richards/KENTA main event is a forgotten classic in the making. Really solid undercard too, with very good Sydal/Castagnoli, Hero/Daniels, McGuinness/Walters, and Danielson/Delirious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 I was gonna collect the shows where the world title changed hands, but Unscripted isn't available on VHS or DVD. Anybody know why? Out of stock. They won't make anymore VHS shows other then what is already made and available for sale, but they usually print new dvds of shows once they go out of stock within a month.

Garth 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2006 I clearly would have picked up about six DVDs if my university hadn't messed up. They were supposed to return £600 to me. I overpaid for my tuiton and they said it would be put back in my account by the end of last week. It's still not there. Bastards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 There's another 25% off sale on the ROH website....and the last 25% sale ended about 4 days ago. Anybody interested in ROH DVDs or tapes should REALLY take advantage of this sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 I'm just hoping the Chicago weekend, 12/22 and Final Battle 06 will be out in same to take advantage in a sale. Otherwise, It'll have to be at a 3 and 1 sale at the live show next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Wait. There was a buy 3 get 1 free sale that I took full advantage of at Final Battle, but I was under the impression that it was just for that weekend. Do they conduct the 3 and 1 sale at every show? If so, I'll be a very lucky dude in NJ and NY in the next couple of months. God damn, I love getting ROH dvds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Buy 3 Get 1, more often then not are held at the live shows. In fact, the last 7 shows I attended had the sale. They run the sale online once a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 I've got Supercard Of Honor, Joe vs. Kobashi and Unified on the way. Couldn't find them over Christmas at other sites, so that's a plus. For some reason, I couldn't find Cornette's SOTR though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 if you think about it then 25% off is a "buy 3 get 1 free" if they're all about the same price I'm well aware of mathematics. However, I rather get the 3 and 1 at a show over frequently using credit cards. King, I just watched Supercard a few weeks ago. It was great. Good pick. I still haven't watched Unified but I plan on putting it on today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
