Cabana sucks ass on commentary imo, there are so many better guys that Gabe could go with. Hell, why not hold auditions for a permanent position beside Lenny? At least that way they could help some guys get their foot in the door and bring a fresh voice to the shows.

ROH – RESPECT IS EARNED – MANHATTAN, NEW YORK – MAY 12, 2007
There was recently a topic here in Other Wrestling about the best opening matches on shows. Someone mentioned Whitmer vs Morishima from Respect Is Earned, I remembered I bought this a while ago so decided to give it a watch.

DISC ONE - Pay Per View

MATCH #1: ROH World Title Match – Takeshi Morishima vs. BJ Whitmer
**1/2
As has been said before, a very short match it's only about 3 minutes but it's explosive and really got the crowd even more fired up than they were from the pre-show match.

MATCH #2: Rocky Romero vs. Naomichi Marufuji
*3/4
I was looking through other people's reviews and this seemed to be getting around the *** mark nearly everytime. Personally I thought it was a very boring match. The leg work periods went on for too long for my taste, Romero's selling (or lack thereof) didn't really bother me much though - I just think he's a boring wrestling all-around.

MATCH #3: ROH World Tag Team Title Match – The Briscoe Brothers vs. Claudio Castagnoli & Matt Sydal
****
Awesome tag team match, post match brawl with Steen/Generico was fun too.

MATCH #4: Roderick Strong vs. Delirious
**3/4

MATCH #5: KENTA & Nigel McGuinness vs. Takeshi Morishima & Bryan Danielson
***1/2

DISC TWO - Bonus Matches
Tank Toland vs. Brent Albright
**

Davey Richards vs. Erick Stevens
**1/2

Sara Del Ray vs. Daizee Haze
**

Tag Team Scramble – Jimmy Rave & Adam Pearce vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Irish Airborne vs. Pelle Primeau & Mitch Franklin
***1/2

There were also 3 or 4 segments with Jimmy Jacobs and Lacey. Usually I can't stand Jacobs but besides the tag team scramble these segments were the highlights of this bonus disc, really enjoyable..

One of the founding fathers of Ring of Honor, since he made his debut at the very first ROH event, Homicide has arguably been the most unpredictable man to ever set foot inside the squared circle. Coming to ROH from the streets of Brooklyn, Homicide proved to be a true wrestling dichotomy, just as capable of going hold-for-hold with the likes of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and Samoe Joe as he was of bringing utter chaos to ROH with his fights against Steve Corino and The Necro Butcher.

This is a collection of 16 of Homicide's classic ROH bouts including his controversial match with Steve Corino at the "One Year Anniversary Show", their infamous Barb Wire Match at "War of the Wire", World Title clashes with Samoa Joe & Bryan Danielson, bloody battles with Colt Cabana, and international dream matches like his fight with Satoshi Kojima at "Final Battle 2003". Also include on this special 2-Disc release is Homicide's never-before-seen farewell speech from "Respect is Earned" after his departure in 2007.

This DVD set is a taste of what has made Homicide a legend in ROH; of just why those letters have also come to stand for Ring of Homicide. He is the original Rottweiler, the Natural Born Sinner, he is "The Notorious 187" Homicide!

That Homicide set looks class, I might have to get that.

AJ Styles vs. Davey Richards
Death Before Dishonor IV- 2006


-Wow this match was disappointing, not necessarily bad just disappointing given the calibur of talent here and damn Davey Richards was huge back then, he really turned all of that girth into muscle didn't he? There was some good back and forth with some good spots thrown in but these guys never seemed to find a groove and the match overall lacked consistency, with hurt virutally all of their larger spots. I will however, admit the Ahmed Johnson chant was pretty funny. Decent match but you'd expect more.

Just tried to order the PWS and PWG shows that are up at Highspots for Presale and for some amazing reason it suddenly costs $15 to send 2 DVDs to Australia. I tried with just the 1 DVD and it was $12 for 1 DVD..... My last order with them only cost $10 for the 2 DVDs... Is there any reason as to why they suddenly raised there prices?
 
#5,856 ·
Since they changed the store software they use the prices seem to have gone up :( and if you're not paying attention it also defaults to the most expensive shipping I almost paid $70 shipping for my last 2 DVD order by mistake.
 
#5,857 ·
Sami & Richards actually had a very good match last year. The ending of it was a little to much but I had a blast. Richards vs. Finlay should be great as long as we get no Forearm Exchanges and 2009 Richards shows up.

While that Whitmer/Jacobs match will be fine, it just feels like they don't have any ideas for Jimmy so they just lazily throw him against Whitmer and hope to play on the past to get people to care.



I'd say he'll win, one thing I'll say is that in the couple of matches Sami's had in AAW he hasn't been as insufferable as in other places.

Long time ROH fans will remember the two tag team title reigns that BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs had together. They will also remember the circumstances that surrounded their dissolution, the woman involved, and the violence that followed for nearly a year as BJ & Jimmy tore into one another in numerous matches. The injuries accumulated over that time were severe, including a broken ankle for Whitmer, and when it finally culminated in a Steel Cage Match at “Supercard of Honor II”, a match that Jacobs won, neither man was quite the same.

Trace the line from there and you can see how this rivalry indirectly spawned The Age of The Fall, a group primarily consisting of Jacobs, Tyler Black, The Necro Butcher, & Lacey, and saw Jacobs at his most vile, bloodthirsty, and manipulative. The continuation of that thread would ultimately lead you to Jimmy’s exile from Ring of Honor following “End of An Age” and in turn bring you to the night Steve Corino brought him back into the fold as his sponsor. The events from there that have culminated in both Jacobs & Corino ally themselves with ROH World Champion Kevin Steen are all fresh in our minds…

The death of the tag team and the subsequent loss in the Cage Match also put BJ Whitmer on a downward spiral of his own as he suffered defeat after defeat, his own mental breakdown leading him into The Hangmen 3. That union became his downfall as their betrayal of Whitmer saw him evicted from ROH for years until his long-awaited, fan-demanded return at “Rise & Prove” when he impressed the world in his Proving Ground bout against Jay Lethal.

At “Synergy” in Chicago Ridge, Whitmer became embroiled in one of the most intense, enduring hates Ring of Honor has ever seen as he allied himself with El Generico to fight Jacobs & Steen in a tag team war that ROH officials were essentially forced to make a No DQ contest in order to insure it actually happened. Whitmer’s rivalry with Jacobs reignited that night as well, capped off with he & Generico picking up the victory after BJ delivered an Exploder Suplex through a table to Jimmy.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say that felt good man.” BJ told ROHWrestling.com, “It’s been a long time coming, tossing Jimmy through that table, and watching him decide to side with Steen only proves how much he deserved it. To tell you the truth, when I saw Jimmy with Corino, saw him trying to be a better man; it gave me some hope that maybe our past could be put to rest. I really thought that maybe all that spilled blood could be put behind us and we could find that friendship we had before all the s*** and all the years got in the way. Well Jimmy, it looks like you fooled me and Ring of Honor and the world into thinking you changed. Or maybe you just fooled yourself into thinking you were strong? Well little buddy, it looks like me and you got a date one more time. Maybe you can show me I’m wrong, or maybe I can make you admit just how weak you are…”

It’s BJ Whitmer vs. Jimmy Jacobs in Pittsburgh, PA on 6/30/12 at The Rostraver Ice Gardens! It’s a renewal of one of the most heated rivalries in ROH’s history and tickets are available now!!!
