Am I the only one who thinks ROH DVD covers are persistently OTT (over the top), and when they try to do something simpler it looks like they were reluctant to do it?

I personally hate the covers with pictures of wrestlers in boxes with some sort of design around them...take Glory by Honor VI weekend for example. bleh imo.

i don't get why promotions like F1RST and CZW have better covers than ROH

if you're asking why i didn't mention Chikara having better covers than ROH, it's because i know why they are so awesome and ROH will never top them unless they book an all comedy show

I just realised how sad some ROH names sound. "Breakout", "Honor Nation" and "Rising Above" just makes me get the impression they take themselves too seriously.

The big reason why I like CHIKARA & PWG more than ROH these days.

Same here. ROH still entertains me quite a bit but it just remains too SERIOUS all the time. Gets kinda drab after a bit.

There's nothing wrong with the show names because they have something to actually do with the show unlike a promotion like Chikara who just come up with the most random names which have absolutely nothing to do with the show. When you see the name of an ROH show, you know what kind of show you're gonna get. Take Breakout for example. You know just by looking at that name you're gonna get a show with young star(s) "breaking out". Same goes for the covers, they look fine to me.

People have to remember that ROH has to look as professional as possible because they are the biggest Indy around. Chikara, CZW, etc can afford to look goofy because frankly, they don't have a fanbase the size of ROH's.

Personally a cover and/or show name shouldn't affect whether you buy a show or not. It's the quality of show inside that case that names.

The Sordid Perils Of Everyday Exsistance > most ROH shows to come out lately.

Goofy titles or not, the shows usually deliver.

...because they haven't had serious names for the past 6 years, right? They're not taking themselves too seriously, they're creatively naming their wrestling shows.

It seems like you'll do anything to find a flaw in ROH these days man...and that's cool, it's your choice so go right ahead...but c'mon. Don't reach out too far for stuff to bash them for, like 'serious show titles'.
