Could someone please give a short review on the upcoming DVD releases of Ring Of Homicide and How We Roll aswell as the Vendetta show? Thanks.
How can we review things that arent out yet?

I did a detailed review of Vendetta like Mystery did, but i cant find it....

So here is my quick star ratings

Steel / Delirious VS Collyer / McGuiness --- **1/2
Rinauro VS Jacobs --- **1/2 (fun match)
WHitmer VS Castegnoli --- **3/4
Fallen Angel VS Samoa Joe --- ****
Pearce Vs Andrews --- 3/4*
Danielson VS Strong --- ***** (GODLY)
Embassy VS Generation Next --- ***1/2

Thanks for the review Honor. I've heard people say they have been to those shows live especially Ring Of Homicide so that is what I meant. Maybe just the star ratings after people have experienced it live so I have some kind of idea what the show is like. :)

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Oh i get ya, sorry mate.

Beware of live impressions though, so many things can change. Matches can come off better live than they do on tape, as well as the fact that when someone goes to a show, they usually make it out to be the "best show" ever.

Go to www.wrestlingobserver.com, click on more headlines, and then search.

Type in "ROH House Show" and it will come up with detailed results and a little bit of analysis from recent shows.

It says great things about Danielson VS Delirious from Ring of Homicide.

If ya want,, its a good way to find stuff out

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and how we roll.

No other ROH shows. I thought destiny would be out, but evidently not.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

general reaction to how we roll is that is was a missable show.

Ring of Homicide on the other hand is highly regarded.

The signature match for How We Roll was obviously Christian / Cabana VS Daniels / Danielson, and the majority i have read said it didnt really deliver.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Ring of Homicide is a must have, especially for any Homicide fan. I'd say the crowd reaction and the atmosphere for the main event tops Joe vs Kobashi and MAYBE 100th show main event. The crowd never got quiet for a second during the 30+ minute hardcore brawl, and the undercard was extremely strong. You won't be disappointed.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Just wondering, is it worth picking up The Era of Honor Begins DVD for 12 bucks just for the sake of it being the first ever ROH Show?

Heard good stuff about Danielson/Low Ki/ Daniels and Eddie/Super Crazy but it is eveident that the event is nowhere near one of the greatest shows of all time. Is it worth getting this just to see where it all began or is it just basically another show with nothing special?

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Definitely MBL. I know non-ROH fans/ROH bashers who even praised the Danielson vs Ki vs Daniels match as being amazing. That's worth the buy alone, for $12 you really can't go wrong. It's just a nice DVD to have since it's the true beginning of an era.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Okay, I plan on getting the following DVDs tomorrow, including my first Straight Shootins. Tell me what you think of the purchase:

Supercard of Honor
Ring of Homicide (you wont know how it is, but I know its great)
Straight Shootin Raven/Sandman Vol.1 (downloaded the first half, the second half intrigues me so much)
Straight Shootin Punk/Joe Vol.1

I was thinking about getting one more full show...here's what I was thinking about:

An Era Begins
Arena Warfare
100th Show
Weekend of Champions 1 or 2
Third Year Anniversary Night 1, 2, or 3
Hell Freezes Over

Any suggestions?

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Supercard of Honor is a great and long show. Its like 4 hours long. You get a 5 star Dragon Gate match and 56 minute match between Strong and Danielson. Cant do much better than that.

Ring of Homicide- Heard great things about especially from you.

Straight Shootin Raven/Sandman Vol.1 is my second favorite shoot out. Very funny and tells a lot of great stories about ECW. Also a lot of drug stories.

Straight Shootin Punk/Joe Vol.1 is the best shoot out there with no doubt about it. Its very funny and infromative. Them talking about the trilogy is great and them making fun of Gabe is hilarious.

This is a great purchase. You have the best 2 shoots out there and 2 great shows.

As for your suggestion you should get Weekend of Champions Night 2. Everyone says its a must own and I agree with them. I just finished up watching it and Danielson vs McGuinnes is worth the $20.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

I was going to buy this list of movies at the show what do you think of them and also tell me if I should change some.

Punk:The Final Chapter
Sign Of Dishonor
Redemption
The Homecoming
Buffalo Stampade
Showdown in Motown
Vendetta
Arena Warfare
Weekend Of Champions Night 1
Better then our Best

I'm thinking of changing Better then our Best for Ring Of Homicide so are these choices good and if some aren't could you recomend some.
 
#1,021 ·
Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread

Out of those I have only seen

Punk:The Final Chapter
Redemption
Vendetta
Arena Warfare
Weekend Of Champions Night 1
Better Than Our Best

and those are all good shows. You should stick with those.

Sign Of Dishonor
The Homecoming
Buffalo Stampade

I havent heard many great things about. You should definetly replace these with Ring of Homicide and anything else from the Milestone Series that you dont have.

I'm thinking of getting a "Best Of" of CM Punk. Which one is better:

Best of CM Punk- Better Than You
or
Best of CM Punk Vol. 2- Straightedge

Thanks for your help

I've only seen Best of Punk volume 2, but it's definitely worth picking up. There's a lot of good matches on there, and some great promos with Steamboat, Corino etc.
