Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

It was a Japaneese match, it was all of Evans' best Dragon Gate matches (including one of his best single matches ever IMO).

I can only name a few of the people because, again, it's not listed under the match listing:

Evans/Sydal/Strong/Fuji/??? vs. Doi/Tanisaki/Yoshino/???/??? w/ Special Guest Referee ???

The wrestling was good, but just the heel/face interactions and everything...God, I loved that match.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Best Of Jack Evans in Japan Review:

1. Teddy Hart vs. Jack Evans- DUD
2. Evans/Strong vs. Horiguchi/Tanisaki- ***1/4
3. Yoshino/Doi vs. Evans/Strong vs. Shisa/Vangelis- ***1/2
4. Yoshino vs. Evans- ***3/4
5. Fuji/Evans/Sydal vs. Doi/Tanisaki/Yoshino- ***1/2
6. Fuji/Kanda/Evans/Strong/Sydal vs. Doi/Tanisaki/Yoshino/Muscle/???- ****
7. CIMA/Evans/Strong vs. Boy/Yoshino/Doi- ***1/2
8. Horiguchi vs. Evans vs. Tozawa- ***

Notes:
-Match 1 gets a DUD because it was boring as hell, no rhyme or reason to what happened, total squash, etc...it just wasn't a wrestling match. After nine minutes I turned it off, couldn't even finish it.

-Match 4 was the best Evans singles match I've ever seen. For reference, I've seen all of his ROH work, a few Japan matches, and some PWG stuff. I haven't watched Strong vs Evans from FIP yet.

-Macth 5 was one of the most fun matches I've ever seen. The pace, the different and well organized spots, the characters involved and the role thay played, just a real spectacle to watch.

-Match 6 blew me away and was obviously the best match on the disc (ironically Evans didn't have a big role). The wrestling was great, but the awesome part of the match were the face/heel interactions, everyone was just excellent and it made the match really entertaining. Loved it.

Overall: The DVD is ONLY $2.99! Buy this RIGHT NOW at IVPvideos.com. NOW!

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Best of American Dragon is a good buy. I don't have star ratings but there are a few excellent tag matches (mostly against the tandem of Jado & Gedo) where you see him team with men such as Curry Man (Chris Daniels) & Rocky Romero. There is a New Japan US tournament with Dragon against X Pac, (the underrated) Chad Collyer, and Rocky Romero but the sad thing is the lighting and camera work (off someones hand camera) on those three matches are horrible. The best match on the compilation was Danielson vs Koji Kanemoto (which I bought it for) at the Best of the Super Juniors 2004 tournament that doesn't dissipoint.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Does anybody have the best of Matt Striker: Head of the Class? It features him in matches with Chris Candido (I saw that match & it was a comedy classic), Low-Ki, Frankie Kazarian, Chris Hero, Jonny Storm, The SAT, Josh Daniels, & more. In addition his farewell from the indys to the WWE.

Danielson & Rocky on a team, sounds good enough for me:D That does sound good, but its not in english is it?? I might have to get used to that though.

Does anyone have 5 star ratings for Best Of American Super Juniors from 05??

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Hailsabin do you mean the ROH best of the American Super Jrs tournament? I can pull some ratings out of my ass if you want but I haven't watched the show in quite a while (so if anyone feels the need to dispute me on why I rated something I'm doing it by memory). I know quite a few people don't like this show but i really loved it and its one of my favorites from 2005.

Danielson vs Spanky - **** 1/4 (MOTN)
Dragon Soldier B(Kendo Ka Shin) vs Matt Sydal - **
Black Tiger (Romero) vs Alex Shelly - ***1/4
James Gibson vs Roderick Strong - ***1/2
No DQ - CM Punk & Cabana vs Rave & Fast Eddie (and the rest of the Embassy) - **
Danielson vs Black Tiger - ***3/4
DSB vs Gibson - 3/4*
Tag Team Scramble - Evans/Strong vs Azriel/Dixie vs Lacey's Angels vs Dunn & Marcos - *1/4
BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs vs Samoa Joe & Jay Lethal - ***
Austin Aries vs Homicide - ***3/4
Tournament Finals - **

And yeah most of the Best of AmDrag from (with the exception of the three matches with X-Pac, Collyer & Romero) are all with Japanese commentary but really is it that big of a deal. Small price to pay to see AmDrag in the ring with phenominal talent like Ultimo Dragon (wish it was against each other though), Minoru Tanaka & Koji Kanemoto if you ask me.

damn that card is stacked, i only knew a few matches. Cide vs Aries for the belt should be a good one ass well as the Tag titles. Spanky/Danielson sounds good with that score, opening match the best match, geez:p Why are Gibson/DSB & The Scramble matches so low??

with the Japanese commentary, its not bad but i would just need to get used to it is all. It still sounds excellent though.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Dragon Soldier B was intentionally cheating getting major heat from the fans but in the case of the Gibson/DSB match, Roderick absolutely destroys Gibson's back in the 1st round (which came into effect at the next show when Gibson faced Aries for the belt which was a nice touch) so the 2nd round match was kept pretty short. Most scrambles in ROH are just card filler spotfests and I can think of one or two I actually like, doesn't help that Strong was worn down, and the rest of the guys in the match were all 150 lb jobbers, the only really good thing about the scramble was Jack Evans worked his ass off in that match.

Currently watching TPI 2004 and damn so far it's awesome, just about to finish night one have a few matches left.

Oh got it, i guess that's how DSB won the tournament then. I am just glad you gave Evans his due, that makes it good...i do enjoy a fun spotfest though. Ring Crew Express & Azrieal are 3 dudes i like in there:agree: Thanks a lot:)

I saw that match about 2 weeks ago, probably one of the best DG matches I've ever seen. The muscle outlaws looked PURE badass.

#4,498 ·
Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Best Of Jack Evans is a must have, especially for only $3. Best of Low Ki V.1 is one of the best, also. I've seen most of the matches on there, and his singles matches against Styles and Spanky are both ****, awesome action.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

I'm watching Best Of Steiner Brothers (in Japan) right now, and so far it's awesome. Steiners vs Bigelow/Vader is such a great tag team match, all the men are just huge and just destroy each other with suplexes and splashes and stuff.

Ok i've got 25 dollars, someone tell me a ROH or PWG show that is a must buy.
PWG: Hollywood Globetrotters (Richards/Dragon vs. Strong/Evans is worth it)
ROH: Your chance man, you can't go wrong with the 2006 shows.

No I actually don't lol, I haven't bought a ROH show since August. This is going to be a hard choice because i've heard both shows are extremely great.
Get GBH V Night 2. I thought that it was a spectacular show. Unified has only 3 matches that I thought were good, while almost every match on GBH is solid, plus the awesome Nigel/Marufuji and Danielson/Kent a matches.
