It dissapointed me, but I did hear IMMENSE hype for it.
Quack/Claudio is one of my top 3 favorite matches of all time, and makes the tournament must buy. You've also got good Low Ki matches vs Akuma, Davey Richards and El Generico. You've also got some dissapointing Arik Cannon and Roderick Strong matches. The finals are very dissapointing too.
The 2004 one is phenomenal, and completely kills the 06 one IMO.

I might pick it up tomorrow.
I am hoping we get some new ROH releases tomorrow as well before the weekend...So I can purchase them and perhaps get some more Chikara.
I have only bought the Chikara Best of 2005 which was suggested.
One thing I did do was e-mail the guys over there and ask them what shows they would suggest. Here is the list they gave me -
Tag World Grand Prix 2006, Night 3 (February, 2006)
Young Lions Cup IV, Night 3 (June, 2006)
The Crushing Weight of Mainstream Ignorance (July, 2006)
King of Trios 2007, Night 2 (February, 2007)
In what order would you get them, and would you add anything else to it.
^ Night 1 is very good. Night 2 isn't so good, but it does have its good matches.
I dunno really. I watched Night 3 WELL AFTER (time wise, 2 months+) the previous nights and still enjoyed it.
It's your call. It'll be good both ways. If you only want Night 3 you can buy some other CHIKARA too (Young Lions Cup 4 Night 3 and the crushing weight of mainstream ignorance spring to mind).

I understand you don't like Cannon but his matches were disappointing. Yeah, they weren't great matches but they were still good matches especially his match with B-Boy. Strong's matches much like Cannon's were good aswell. Finally, the main event was great and definately the best match of the two nights.
That's because you hate Cannon. You've made this known. If you watch the match unbiasly you'll surely enjoy it. It was probably the 3rd or 4th best match of the night.

Yes, I hate Cannon (and I'm not a fan of B-boy) but unbiasly it was bad. I hadn't seen much of Cannon back then (so I didn't really hate him that much) but this match contributed to the hate. It was just stiffness, headrops and no selling, nothing else.
THE FINALS WERE DISAPPOINTING?! We're talking about the same TPI, right?! The entire match made perfect sense, and I swear if you say "random stiffness", I'll blow a gasket, because it's completely clear why the match is based around stiff strikes.
EDIT- Oh, and I'm getting 4/5 of the FYF this Saturday.

Not to attack you or anything but if you ask everyone else in this section that's seen the match they'll tell the samething I told you. Sorry but when it comes to this match you're biased.
So are the Fifth year Festival ROH shows worth getting. I was thinking of ordering all four with the buy 3 get one free sale. Any feedback would be appreciated.
^ There's 6 (the 2 UK ones). They're all worth getting - must buys. Ok, haven't seen any of them (yet) but they have been getting heavy praise from live reports. And look at the cards. They all have stacked cards with loads of potentially excellent matches.
I'm picking up the 2 UK shows, the Chicago show and maybe the NYC one, then the UK shows are released.
EDIT: Just watched Cannon/B-boy from TPI 06 and well, don't have much to say. I quite enjoyed it, although there was a severe lack of selling from B-boy. Other than that it was pretty solid, albeit short.
Are any shows from the Summer of Punk worth buying? I've heard some mixed reviews about the shows and the only shows I have from the Summer of Punk are Death Before Dishonor 3, Redemption, and Punk: The Final Chapter
Escape from New York and Punk: The final chapter are the stand outs.
