SMV high priced? I usually think Highspots isn't an option due to their prices, it's absurd. SMV is probably the best place to buy stuff from. INSANELY fast shipping, I ordered a dvd around 9 pm on a Saturday and I got it on Monday morning with their standard shipping. It's fantastic. And I tend to think 20 bucks a DVD is fine pricing.
Beats that 3.99 a match on a VHS tape Highspots shills -_-

I've heard they don't treat international customers (such as I) well, but can anyone confirm that? I'm planning on ordering some CHIKARA sooner or later, and SMV is pretty much the only place for their DVDs.
I've ordered from them before and they were pretty much on par with anyone i've ever ordered from.
One time my DVD wouldn't play, e-mailed them about it, got a reply within the day and a second copy in a mater of days.

Wow what a way to reintroduce my self to ROH and wrestling in general, totally awesome show with not 1 poor match on display I havent enjoyed a show in a long long time. Like I've said before I'd pretty much stopped watching wrestling alltogether since 2006 but the match standard at ROH deffinately hasn't slipped. I found my self really suprised at the standard of the womens match which was much better than any other womans match I've seen in America before even though it wasnt perfect by any means, compared to the drivel the WWE puts on with the women this was like Kobashi/Misawa lol.
As for the main event that blew me away, I'd read about the battles between Dragon and Nigel but that match beat my expectations. Maybe I've rated the matches slighty high I dunno but thats how I feel at the minute.
Roll on watching Supercard Of HonorIII and Death Before DishonorVI over the next couple of days.
Was actually interested in buying this. Looks like a fun show.
Finished watching the Gabe shoot last night, and it was pretty much what i expected. Some of the stuff he had planned definitely sounded interesting (such as Ishimori as the regular from NOAH in 2009 and teaming him with the returning KENTA) and then other things that i hated the sound of.
Maaaan, Gabe's shoot was more of a sequel for his Fantasy Booker with ECW more than anything. Wish they delved into what constituted to make a card and why he made the decisions he did on past shows.
I liked the direction Gabe had for 2009 putting the emphasis on guys like Black, Omega, and King along with the seemingly epic Nana storyline. Also, bringing over Ishimori and KENTA would have owned too.
I'm also interested in what he had planned for that unnamed former WWE wrestler and if it'll still happen.

Well what can I say about this show apart from this has got to be 1 of the greatest shows I've seen ever. It started off with a fun opener with Delirious with some good comedy thrown in and the action was decent as well. The second match consisted of a bunch of guys I didnt care about as with being out of touch with ROH for 2years+ I didnt have a clue who they were, apart from that the match was decent for what it was.
The Strong/Stevens match if it can be called that as there was no start or finish was an all out war which I enjoyed tremendously. The following tag was even better starting off with an all out brawl going all over the arena including a balcony dive , these type of matches are right up my street and luckily for me the rest of the show is an unreal spotfest.
The rest of the show is awesome too climaxing in the Dragon Gate 6man, after this show I'm deffinately going to have to check out some Dragon Gate as this was the 1st time I'd seen any of there wrestlers.
Thats it for my short review gonna have to dash off to bed got an early morning tomorrow but if any1 hasn't seen this show yet you've got to a.s.a.p
Total spotfest that dropped it's story half way through to impress the fans instead of even making any attempt to make it look like either team wanted to win. Those factors make for an annoying main event.
It all goes on personal preference. Since I really don't have a date that my MOTY must be decided by I go by the calender year for mine. I also base my dates off when the show happened, not when it was released or put on PPV. I know alot of others will go by when the PPV came out or December to December. There is no right way of doing it.
By the way, I forgot to ask, but how much is Shipping at Smart Mark Videos? I can't seem to find any Shipping Estimates on their website. Or is the Shipping already included in the DVD Price? I'm trying to order TPI 2005 for those wondering what I'm trying to order.

Wow Ian, see what happens when you stop hitting on Mickie, start paying talent & stop with all the carny crap. A show people want to see. Too bad all Ian's about now is the next scam and trying to get as many Baltimore Orioles jerseys as possible.
I may have to swallow my pride if MASADA is in the King of the Death Match tourney.
