Adam G Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Wasnt Davey Richard's match with Rave meant to be on the ROH videos site?And I liked Danielson's promo on the last video recap, the one about being pale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rmdstyles Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm planning on picking up some recent ROH shows whilst their sale is on. I know the Milstone series is the best place to start but which of those shows would you reccomend to someone who doesen't follow the ROH product religiously but keeps up to date with the product and is mainly interested in watching decent wrestling matches which are different (and if posible better) to those in WWE?

Paid Members MoChatra Posted June 8, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'd strongly recommend you purchasing Dragon Gate Challenge, Supercard of Honor and Better Than Our Best; the three shows that took place during WrestleMania week.The first two shows are both excellent and feature a bunch of matches which are both different and better than anything that occurred at WrestleMania. As you can see from my sig, the hottest match was the Dragon Gate six-man, which long-time wrestling writer Bruce Mitchell described as the greatest match he'd ever seen. Meltzer, Alvarez and Mike Johnson have also been waxing lyrical over it, and for good reason. It's impossibly good and probably in my top five matches of all time.I haven't seen Better Than Our Best yet though Gabe Sapolsky's been telling everyone that it's the best ROH show ever, in his considered opinion. Between those three, you'll get a flavour for ROH, its workers, feuds and in-ring quality. You won't go far wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you view NOAH shows so quickly? I've noticed you have the Suguira Vs Kenta match from last weekend rated. I have a source in Japan but even then, it's at least 2 weeks before I receive the shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a source in Japan but even then, it's at least 2 weeks before I receive the shows.NOAH's internet TV service usually upload matches from TV tapings within five days of them occurring. Nowadays, that service is usually trumped by individuals posting these matches on Far-Eastern message boards within a day or two of them taking place, only for people to then post them on western-based message boards.It was available at the F4W message board only two days after the match happened. When I was your age, I likely would've had to wait six months before a tape of such a show would've made it to our shores. Which means a) I'm getting old and b) wrestling fans have never had it so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam G Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just watched Lacey vs Allison Danger from ROHVideos, it wasnt half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didcotfc Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi All I've been desperatly trying to catch up on Ring of Honour shows recently so I thought I put up a few of my thoughts of some 2005 shows for those of us who aren't quite so up to date. I'm planning to cut my losses and order the milestone series soon (Although I hate the names of the shows) and get bang up to date. I'm sick of being an ROH neatherthal. I still plan the plod through 2005 by picking up the shows when I can: Â This is the first time in a while I've watched ROH shows in sequence and I must admit its a lot more fun than just dipping in or out of shows that catch the eye. The only problem with this is that it's sucoming to the ROH propaganda machine that brain washes you to buy every show. The other advantage of being this far behind is that there are fewer spoilers to give away the suprises. Â Right so... Â Manhattan Mayhem A really good show from top to bottom really. I wasn't nuts on the Special K tag team match which considering it had loser must split stips was pretty uneventful, even after the match. Colt vs McGuiness was really fun, the low blow finish was beautifully executed and really brought some intrigue to the start of the fued. Can't really talk about show without mentioning the sick finish to the impromptu main event... Â Final Showdown I really enjoyed Shelley vs Strong. An early sequence where both wrestlers displayed their familiarity with the others offence really stands out in my memory of this. I'm not sure how everyone feels about Ebetaroh/Ebessan but the four way made me sob with laughter. Some of the Delirious/Ebetaroh exchanges were great. I guess the bit talking point of this show woulod be the finish Homicide/Danielson best of 7 series. I'm pretty sure the finish to the match caused a split in opinion. My feeling was that the match finish would have been fine for a one off match but didnt seem to give a really satisfying climax to the huge series. Other than that it was a fun match with some nice references to the previous matches. Â Nowhere to Run I really enjoed Homicide vs Williams. As far as I know this was the first time they'd have a match together and they seemed to click well. The Cabana McGuiness match seemed like more of the same until the fued took a more violent direction. I'm really enjoing this angle so far. Aries vs Danielson was pretty strong too. Aries had strung together some pretty impressive run of defences together by this point. I really think he needed to defend against a really credible challenger earlier in his reign, I'm not sure Cabana was really the opponent to establish him as champion. The Punk vs Rave blow off was a great example of why its better to watch these shows with continuity instead of just picked at random. The back history to this fued is really what made this a dramatic main event. I dont think the match would have any where near the same impact without in isolation. Punk's victory gave the show a fun 'going home happy' feel that's quite rare in the indies. Â Next show is New Frontiers. Having just gone on about how much I've enjoyed watching the shows in sequence i'm thinking of giving this one a miss. Money is short and the card doesn't leap out at me. Anyone have any thoughts?

Paid Members gadge Posted June 9, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 New Frontiers was pretty bad by 2005 ROH standards, in fact all the shows in the Buffalo area were below average for me (the others being Dragon Gate Invasion and Buffalo Stampede). Got my order of 'Best in the World' - 'The 100th show' today, so hopefully I'll have some thoughts starting perhaps sunday.Oh, and there's a 20% off everything sale at ROHwrestling.com right now.

edgecrusher Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm really getting into ROH lately. The DG six man was astonishingly excellent.Also, Homicide and the Rottweilers in general are brilliant, far and away some of the standout characters in the promotion. Julius Smokes is one hell of a personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 14, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 I got the 100th show today and have only watched the CZW segments so far.The Cornette/Zandig debate is an embarassment on both mens parts. Zandig is terrible on the mic so has no business even being there and Cornette is shit beyond belief as he makes nothing close to a real argument or debate and just rambles on about all the people he's worked with putting himself over and making really unfunny and immature gay jokes which should be above someone as good on the mic as Cornette. He's definitely lost alot of points in my book because of this.The 6 man main event is an awesome violent brawl and the crowd heat made it a great atmosphere. My only criticisms would be that there was no footage of Super Dragon getting into fights with fans. The sight of the bloody and battered CZW guys celebrating with the CZW fans section was fantastic.
