Card Subject has a great tag team main event with the KOW taking on Richards/Super Dragon. But I'd go with Astonishing X mas now that I think of it because it was a much more solid show.

trust me that match is bad but McQueen you should check out Use Your Illusion 4 because Joey Ryan vs Super Dragon 60 Min Iron Man Match that is good and so is the match between them at An Inch Longer Than Average. I just want you to see that Ryan is a good wrestler but now he has just seemed blah to the gimmick. His match at Threemendous is great so yeah.
Mystery spart does make a good point i always forget about Hollywood Globetrotters, the main event is worth the money right there, along with the other matches spart listed

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Yeah now that I think of it Cruisin for a Bruisin was real good as well but I still like (PDCI)The OC better then the rest of the regular shows I've seen, but I haven't seen Hollywood Globetrotters but I hear its good and the European Vacation shows as well.
Sabin I actually went ahead and looked at some of Ryan's older work on youtube a while back and while I still don't think he's all that great he did look allright in the ring (in fact I saw highlights of the Ironman I think) it just his recent gimmick where all he does is get his ass kicked then cheat to win is stale and weak so i'm willing to give the guy his due.

oh i know, maybe not nothing too special but enjoyable and not very weak. If you don't like him, i don't care its just that they guy is capable of so much more, and not just poor victories, over and over. But trust me you will like the Battledome match, even though you can't see the incredible trash throwing segment after(due to the music playing) the the 45 min match is really cool. Just saying but then again, some of the older stuff is fun and good too

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
The booking behind Ryan's new gimmick and his title reign is beyond retarded. Squashed for 10 minutes, hit low blow or other cheap move, pin and win. What the fuck is that? This isn't the 'E.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Alright. I convinced my mom to give me $30 so here are the shows I've decided on. Now, I haven't processed my order yet so if there is something you think I should change let me know.
-BOLA 2005 Night 1
-BOLA 2005 Night 2
-Astonishing X-Mas
-Hollywood Globetrotters
-Crusin' For a Brusin'
-Beyond The Thunderdome
-Please Don't Call It The OC
-An Inch Longer Than Average
-Enchantment Under The Sea
I was undecided between Enchantment Under The Sea and An Inch Longer Than Average so I added them both bringing my total of 9 PWG shows to $67.50.

yeah i know, thank god for me it wasn't like that when i saw him(lucky me) that is the one thing that sucks with PWG the only thing, but whenever he loses that belt we can all be happy...cause we could see Tornado, Bosh & Generico all go for it
Generico for next champ
Hey spart did you order BOLA 06, or are you not going to get it till a review comes out??

Nothing wrong with that order at all, all really solid shows, and great to see that someone finally ordered an old show, seeing how most people usually just get the newer ones. You should(if you like a good gimmick match) like Joey/Dragon Guerrilla Warfare match up along with Punk/Joe(it doesn't go 60 min though  )
Don't change your order at all but just FYI all of the All Star Weekends are great, I, II & III. Very good, solid shows with knockout matches...for next order i guess.

Personally I think you could live w/o Enchantment Under the Sea, not that it's bad or anything but right now its my "Average" mark on my PWG measuring stick, but i haven't seen a few of those shows so I dunno, but anyways looks like an enjoyable order -Mystery-
I suggest anything with a match with the words Rocky or Romero in it but thats just me

EUTS average? The pretty surprising seeing how on paper the card looks very good. However, if its average like you say it is I may remove it from my cart and add something else.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Hey if you really really like headlocks get EUTS  , its a solid show but there are others I've seen I like better orr worse, actually on that show I actually like the Ryan/Sabin match just cause Dino as special ref makes it interesting.

well i liked it, as Cape Fear vs Briscoes was really good and so was the main event(the formation of the Dynasty)
Also Rocky Romero is great, i love the guy but McQueen his match up he has with him already at BOLA 05 is good enough, but if you do want some Rocky Romero match Mystery look for these...
A Reason For The Season- vs AJ Styles(one of the most memorable matches and the rematch is happening at the next PWG show.)
Card Subject To Change I- with Ricky Reyes vs Aerial eXPress
All Star Weekend I- with Reyes vs Punm & Kendo Kashin
Zombies Shouldn't Run- vs Davey Richards
Teen Outreach Summit- vs Christopher Daniels
those are some of his good matches in PWG with some guys that you have seen fight.
