[ROH]

Honor - Not even that (****) for me. Some major lapses in it. Eg. pinning Nate Webb.

____________________________________________________________

MBL -

RCE vs Students - *
RCE vs KOW - *1/2
4CS - **
Daniels/Nigel - ***1/2
Aries/Richards - ***3/4
Delirious/Hagadorn - 3/4*
Strong/Joe - ****1/4
Briscoes/MaruKENTA - I gave it ****1/2 on first watch, but upon rewatching it gets ****

Great show, it was fun and I enjoyed it, worth a purchase.

Fodgie - I used to buy off ebay.co.uk but now I just go rohwrestling.com. They ship to the UK fine and quick, but it's expensive - say £7 for 3 items. I use a convertor to find what the price is in pounds.

It's 7.50 for one item, then 2.50 for each additional - it's best to get big orders.

____________________________________________________________

TheAngle33 - I wouldnt really call that "reviewing", you're just listing star ratings.

Say what heppens in the match (play-by-play) if you want, but do talk about why you gave it a high/low rating, how it was good/bad.

____________________________________________________________

Hailsabin1990 - yeah that is the chair riot match. I also didnt like it that much - ***1/4 - I didnt mind too much about the psycology, it was just really sloppy and had some pointless parts (eg. the barbwire board)

____________________________________________________________

Thisskateboarding - I havent seen it, and I dont plan too. Although I've heard some great stuff about Sydal/Delirous and Richards/Jay Briscoe - it's probably worth downloading those.

____________________________________________________________

Hailsabin1990 - The only ***** match on that list (IMO) is KENTA/Dragon from Glory By Honor V Night 2.

Yes, I have it at *****, and that is an opinion I will defend to the end. When I look at that match, it is non-stop action for 40 minutes, brutal bumps, and amazing storytelling. Dragon coming out to end the war he started, then showing he was always in for himself, not ROH. BJ fighting through the punishment he took for 7 months to defend himself. Cide coming around and defending ROH. Kingston backing up a promo he cut 6 months earlier to defend CZW, just like he said he would. Webb bumping like it was his last match. And the entire post match angle, which wound up the high point of the Cide-Cornette angle. When I look at it, I see an extension and improvement on two other matches I gave *****, Wargames from 1991 and 1992. So yes, I do believe *****, and I cannot fathom giving it anything else. Also, I'll note ROH has 25-30% off everything right now. I'm going to pick up Suffocation because that show really appeals to my tastes, and if I get paid tonight I might make an order of some cheap stuff too.

I truly think that Ring Of Homicide is one of the BEST Ring Of Honor shows, ever. First off, every match was good, even the ROHvideos squash match was fun to watch. But the best part of the show was that EVERY match was different. Some shows (Motor City Madness especially) has each match follow the same exact ROH formula. Mat wrestling for the first 10 minutes, pick things up with more intense and heated moved, full-blown action in the final minutes, someone wins. That's how a lot of the midcard matches work, but with Ring Of Homicide, it was different. A comedy, a hardcore brawl, a tag team title match, a technical masterpiece/underdog match, a pure rules match, a midcard feud match, etc...something for everyone, no matter what type of wrestling fan.

Basically, I'm putting Ring Of Homicide over as a show that EVERYONE should own, especially if you want to get into ROH. Really a great sampler as it provides every type of match type you can experience in ROH, and does it well.

Cabana vs Kikitaro- **1/2 (hilarious)
Rave vs Yang- **1/2 (decent, too much stalling)
Homicide/Reyes vs Dunn/Marcos- ** (fun squash)
McGuinness vs Lethal- ***1/2 (good pure rules match)
Danielson vs Delirious- ****1/2 (best underdog match I've ever seen)
Daniels vs Sydal- ***1/2 (continues their match series nicely)
Aries/Strong vs Briscoe Brothers- ***3/4
Homicide vs Necro Butcher- **** (insane brawl and chair riot!)

I don't know about best ever, but it is certainly very good. But ya, it has a large difference in styles, but so do many shows, and there are certainly ones with, in my opinion, higher match quality. Look at, say, GBH N2, which featured a fast paced tag, a more old school tag title match, a NOAH style match that is a MOTYC, and an amazing main that is my MOTY. And those last three matches, IMO, were better than anything on RoH. There are other shows, but that was just off the top of my head. So yes, I agree it was very good, but I think great is pushing it.

[Spartanlax]

Sure GBH had better match quality overall, so did Manhattan Mayhem, Nowhere To Run, Unified, AITUK, etc...but they didn't have such the range of match types and have them done so well like RoH did. Maybe not one of the best shows ever, but definitely one of the best DVDs to get to sample ROH.

[MrPaiMei]

See that's where I disagree with you again. Manhatten Mayhem is the DEFINITION of a range of match types and totally outclasses RoH in that regard. You have a Euro style comedy/chain match, a Japanese juniors style, fun opening tag, fast paced ROH style tag title match, epic ROH title match that will show you what to expect in mains, one of the best Pure matches ever, a blood feud match, and a crazy main event brawl. It also features most main stars. That, IMO, is the perfet intro to ROH.

Hmm, I completely forgot about the Punk/Rave hardcore match. I get what you're saying and I pretty much agree, you're right, MM IS a better intro to ROH overall, but still, I wouldn't really count any of the matches as a comedy or an insane brawl, something RoH has and does each of them very well. Yes, there's a dog collar match and some comedy involved in the Euro-style match, but doesn't really compete on the same level of RoH.

Isn't that the show Matt Hardy wrestled at? Either that or he wrestled Homicide.

[GenerationNeXt]

No the show Matt Hardy wrestled Homicide was at Redemption

[watts63]

Did anybody seen ROH UNscripted II? Can you tell me how it is?
