What is the best Survival of the Fittest becuase I never seen one of these before. I heard 2004 had the best finals but what about all around show.
2004 for sure!

The undercard was better, and the actual SOTF main event was easily ****1/2. 2005 on the other hand was easily **3/4

How are Final Showdown, Redemption and The 100th Show?

The cards look great but I haven't heard them mentioned much.


^ They're all really good shows. I have Final Showdown and it is great, trust me. I've heard very good things about Redemption as well. -Mystery- has done a 100th show review so check it out. Either way, pick up all 3.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Redemption is a very, VERY underrated show. It's worth the buy for the main event alone. I'll give a breif * rating for each Redemption match.

Four Corner Survival Match- **
Spanky vs Colt Cabana (comedy mach)- **1/2
Whitmer/Jacobs vs. McGuinness/Collyer- ***1/4
Rave/Shelley/Abyss vs. Aries/Strong/Sydal- ***3/4
Low Ki vs Jay Lethal- ***1/2
Matt Hardy vs Homicide- ***1/4
Punk vs Daniels vs Joe vs Gibson- ****1/2

Overall- ***3/4

It's not really a 'must have', but it's definitely one that you want to own when you already own the 'must haves'. I'd buy it for the main event alone, plus Spanky vs Cabana is good fun :D

Final Showdown is an overall great show with a little bit of everything, but I didn't enjoy Homicide vs Danielson as much as I thought I would, oh well.

Really? I know it was only 14 minutes or so but it is still a very good cage match. For being a cage match and it didn't have classic wrestling holds, I'd give it **** (4 Stars). Also, to see Danielson airplane spin Homicide that much was just amazing.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Yeah the airplane spin was fun for a moment, but 4 stars? That's way too generous. It was short and just not very good. Both men are so much better than that, even in a hardcore enviroment. Nothing very creative, and the airplane spin should never go on that long and beat someone. Just...no

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Thanks for the help guys! I might just pick up all three when we get another good sale.

Sparatnlax you mentioned getting Redemption after the 'Must Haves', I don't own any ROH DVD's currently, I've downloaded quite a few but haven't bought any as of yet, so could you just list the shows you think would be worthwhile getting first?

The Dragon VS Homicide match was a little overrated imo. **** is justified i think, but i wouldnt argue anywhere from ***1/2 to **** depending on taste.

However, ****1/2 for the 4 way at Redemption? Thats way too high. Personally id give it either ***3/4 and **** depending on how im feeling at the time.

I just ordered ROH : The 100th Show of ROHWrestling.com. What should I expect from the DVD?

You can definitely trust a review by -Mystery- or if Honor™ did a review for it you could trust him. In my opinion it seems like a very good show that looked like a joke of a show while it was being done live and we were reading the results. But still a good buy.

Thanks. :)

Why did it seem like a joke of a show live?

^ Well we were all expecting the best results and matches since it was the 100th but everyone on here and the ROH Forums were reading them and were just like "Danielson beat Cabana in 5 minutes and now Delirious is challenging him?" so it had a negative feel surrounding it. Also, sorry if that spoiled a bit of the show for you.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

I'm gonna be doing some mass reviewing of DVDs today on the following shows, in case anyone is interested:

Final Showdown
Redemption
Nowhere to Run
Punk: The Final Chapter

And possibly others if I have time. Those shows seem to be the most asked about and I figure I'll give'em each proper reviews today. Look for them later tonight.

You're going to watch all those DVD's today? Isn't that 12 hours?
