Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Currently at RoHwrestling.com, they're having a pretty damn solid sale. A plethora of DVDs from The Era of Honor Begins to Final Battle '06 are on sale for $10 each, plus 10% off any total sale. So, this begs the question...what should I get? I have Death Before Dishonor IV, and a couple of mixtapes of their first year, so I'm really looking for some classic stuff (maybe not the Punk/Joe wars, since I honestly find Punk to be a bit overrated). Right now I'm leaning towards Hell Freezes Over and either Glory By Honor V Night 2 or Honor Reclaims Boston. Anybody got an idea of what's their better shows from '03-'06?

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Glory by Honor V Night 2 is a steal for ten bucks. I'd get that one above all else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 The first Supercard Of Honor is probably my favourite ROH show top to bottom and the show from the very next night, Better Than Our Best, is a really good choice too. I've just gotten through Glory By Honor V Night 2 in the past week, also very good, the top three matches are all excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Is ASE III the one with the Joe/Punk that only goes, like, 20 minutes? I do wanna check out the Joe/Punk series, double ditto for the Punk/Raven series, but I'm sorta cautioned because everything I've seen from Punk has made me feel that he's talented, but not nearly as talented as people make him seem to be. So I'm probably getting GBH V Night 2 and Hell Freezes Over. Thanks for the help, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can tell a great story in the ring and cut a great promo. The only thing that really bugs me is that he may or may not have an attitude problem and his execution of moves look kind of awkard (his kicks and that dreadful Shining Wizard.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 I liked the 3rd match the most. It wasn't a wrestling match like the first two. It was a war. After you check out the Raven and Joe stuff, you have to get to the Rave feud because that was gold with a couple brutal matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Honor Reclaims Boston was ok. Nothing special. Not bad for 10 bucks though. GBHV Night two is the best ROH ever in my opinion, if not, then really up there. Better Than Our Best and Supercard of Honor are great too. I also really liked Final Battle 2006.

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Better Than Our Best. The most impressive card that they have ever held, from top to bottom. I was there too. The Homicide vs. Cabana "Chicago Street Fight" is a damn fine main event. I won't give away too much, but... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Honor Reclaims Boston is a show full of good matches, with pretty much everything hovering around the *** mark. The main event is the standout, as it blew the roof off the building, and is at least ****1/4 (it's KENTA and Davey Richards vs. Aries and Strong). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roderick's chop on Davey toward the end of the match was BRUTAL. Not to mention the Double Stomp/Alabama Slam Combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
