How Can I watch ROH

[Guest Captainofteenspirit]

I've finally decided to watch the greatness that is ROH but I can't seem to find out where I can watch the shows. Do they post their shows on their website live or do you have to buy the DVDs? Any help would be appriciated.

They have video newswires, where they include highlights and on occasions, entire matches (usually the openers or just a typical squash match to put over a talent). You can find alot of matches over the internet (including the thread in general wrestling). To get the full effect, you should get the DVD's. They are usually priced $20 for each DVD ($12 for older DVD's) but they often have tremendous sales that allow you to get a good amoint at once. Look out for the $10 sale (which occurs once every 6 weeks) where you could get 10 dvd's for just $100 bucks (these shows are usually older shows of at least a year or earlier). There's a thread somewhere right here about which shows to buy. I'd suggest starting recently as most shows from 2002/2003 were one match shows (that you can find on the 'net anyways).

 

While 2004 was a tremendously strong year, it's already out-dated in context to what is currently going on. You can obviously attend live events if you live in a ROH market (NYC/Long Island/New Jersey/Philly/Boston/Hartford/Dayton/Chicago/Liverpool/Detroit/St. Paul) and if you live in Canada, they air ROH on the Fight Network.

Thanks a bunch I appriciate it. But I have another question. I went to the thread called "Matches to Check Out" and I didn't see any direct links to those matches. Also where should I start just so I can be up to speed with the current feuds/angles?

www.Rohvideos.com has videowires that sum up current angles and show highlights.

That same site also has some free matches. However, the matches available are not the best matches they offer, just a quick little sample that makes you want to order DVDs.

Look around, at the last couple pages and you should find a few ROH matches sprinkled in for DL.

 

ROH creates themes around the shows and breaks their history into chapters

 

Chapter 1: 2/23/02 "Era Of Honor Begins" to 2/8/03 "First Anniversary Show"

Chapter 2: 3/15/03 "Expect The Unexpected" to 3/12/04 "At Our Best"

Chapter 3: 4/23/04 "Reborn: Stage One" to 12/26/04 "Final Battle 2004"

Chapter 4: 1/15/05 "It All Begins" to 6/12/05 "The Future Is Now"

Chapter 5: 6/18/05 "Death Before Dishonor III" to 8/12/05 "Redemption"

Chapter 6: 8/13/05 "Punk: The Final Chapter" to 2/11/06 "Unscripted II"

Chapter 7: 2/25/06 "Fourth Anniversary Show" to 4/22/06 "The 100th Show"

Chapter 8: 4/28/06 "Weekend Of Champions: Night One" to 12/23/06 "Final Battle 2006"

 

That's where you would start to be right up to date as of right now. In this fourm (Other Promotions), there should be a thread called "ROH DVD's". Those will indicate which shows that are the most worth getting. It helps greatly if you have a certain style that you like as some shows can cater more concisely with your likings.

Once again thank you so much for that help. I truly appriciate it.

My favorite ROH DVD ever is Manhattan Mayhem from the spring of 2005. If I had to pick one, that'd be it.
