Really glad you enjoyed that show Taroo, especially since I think I reccomended it to you a few pages ago. Agreed on your overall thoughts and most of the ratings, except I didn't like Styles/Richards on DVD (live it was fun, on DVD it just seemed weird to me). The COD is, in my opinion, the greatest match in ROH history. Perfect booking, amazing raw emotion, etc. Just awesome.

Thanks, I really enjoyed it. Plus I got 3 more to watch so I'm pretty amped about that.

Here's something that I really liked about the Main Event too, even without knowing the entire backstory and only having seen some of the clips at the end of each chapter, I could still tell how important and epic the match was.

I wasn't too familiar with most of the guys in the match yet I could feel the hatred, emotion, etc. like you said.

I was enthralled for the entire 40-45 minutes of the match and didn't even realize there wasn't commentary or anything, it was that awesome.

Really great stuff.

What other three DVDs did you get? I can't remember.

And I'm now going to go watch the Cage Of Death

I dunno the Funks, British Bulldogs, Can-Am Connection and Hansen/Brody are all pretty fucking awesome for whatever style they brought to the table. But the H.D.A. is pretty much the greatest tag team ever. All Japan fucking rules the school.

I got my Best of Holy Demon Army set today! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Kantos, for starters why don't you just check out those J-Cups and maybe one of those NOAH shows I recommended. Oh and I did forget to mension a really super show and you may think I'm yanking your chain but (All Japan Women, yes women)AJW presents: Dreamslam 1 & 2 (not sure IVP has DS 1 though). Seriously awesome stuff through and through. If you like the japanese style after that I can further help (as well as several other people) recommend stuff.

Highspots.... Kawada shirt.......... OMG.

LOL, thanks.

I really wanted to start with some of the best shows to really get into the product, these were the ones that kept coming up.(Well out of the ones that were part of the big10 sale anyway.)

**McQueen** · 02-16-2008, 01:42 AM

No Taroo seriously you bought some fan-fucking-tastic shows to start.

And Jay really did cream himself.

Briscoes/Irish Airborne-***1/2
Styles/Richards-***1/4-***1/2
Danielson/Dutt-***1/4
Team ROH/Team CZW-****3/4-*****(I'm leaning towards the latter tho, just unbelieveable stuff)

Overall, this was a great show to really introduce me to the product. Only one sub *** match, and it was still pretty entertaining for what it was and the time it was given.

just so you know, the Delirious/Delay match was taped for ROHVideos.com so they usually make those shorter and more of a "gateway" match for new fans. i liked that little match tho. i wish Delay would get booked again.

each of the Dreamslam shows have like 87 ****+ matches. that's an exaggeration...but it's closer to the truth that you'd imagine. tons of seriously awesome stuff.

also if you get the Super J Cups, the J Crown shows are great stuff too. oh and try and avoid J Cup 2000. also i'm not sure what are some good shows, but i'm sure some people here know some good WAR shows that is just tons of juniors goodness. tons of shit from Jericho, Rey Jr., Lyger, Ultimo Dragon, Sasuke, Lance Storm, Ohtani, etc.

Kawada shirt...*scoffs*...i want a Dino shirt
