Sounds like an awsome show. Nothing even reaches ***

Anyways, which do you guys recommend me buying, Battle Of Los Angelos 2005 or TPI? (Haven't decided 2004 or 2005 yet)

[McQueen]

Haven't seen TPI 2005, but I can recommend TPI 2004 over either BOLA thus far.

Hahaha, I posted that as I was watching it (download), I thought the New Jack stuff was funny.

Thanks for the date too

I know this isn't really DVD help but I was just wondering how other people use star rating systems. This is my method for deciding what I consider a match is worth....

***** Perfect
****3/4 Near Perfect
****1/2 Amazing
****1/4 Excellent
**** Great
***3/4 Very Good
***1/2 Good
***1/4 Solid
*** Average

How about you guys?

watts63 - I didnt see either live, but everyone said the Bitter End sucked. Others opinions - it had an amazing KENTA/Sydal match on it but that's about it. Every other match was a big disspointment. Apart from KENTA/Sydal nothing stood out.

^ So you might as well just download KENTA/Sydal and skip the rest of the show.

Honor Reclaims Boston was supposed to be really good, everyone says it was miles better than the Bitter End. The tag team main event of Aries and Strong vs KENTA and Davey Richards has been getting ratings from ****1/2 - *****, no lower. Everyone has been calling it MOTYC. Also the undercard looks good with Dragon/Delirious and the Briscoes and Corino vs Joe, Homicide and Whitmer.

I myself am skipping the Bitter End and buying Honor Reclaims Boston

R_O_H - Just watched Shelley/Dragon from Arena Warfare, and it was fantastic. I thought it was gonna be boring technical wrestling and heel stuff, then a hot finishing sequence. But the pre match promos and heel stuff were gold IMO, and the opening stages were great and much better than I thought they would be. And the finishing sequence was as hot as hell.

The finish was sick, as Dragon didnt just roll over Sliced Bread#2, he took the move then rolled over. But because he needed to roll over, he needed to take the move at a higher angle than it's normally done. Thus, he landed RIGHT on his head, then rolled over into the cattle mutiliation then the rollup. I dont know how he had the strength to do that.

Rating - ****1/4

JackEvans187-

Anarchy in the UK (I was live BTW) -

Go/Whitmer - ***3/4 (opener of the year)
3 way - *** (fun as hell)
6 man - **3/4 (hot finishing sequence but the Brookside workover part was way too long)
SUWA/Dragon - ***1/4 (real solid, short title defence)
Rave/Willimas - ***1/4 (dragged on a bit, but go good and was generally solid)
Bricoes/Sydal and Davey - ****1/2 (probably my favorite match of all time, needs to be seen)
Strong/Dragon - **** (disliked it live, but on DVD it was fantastic)

Definatley the funnest, easiest to watch show of the year IMO. am bias cos' I was there live, but the show kciked ass. You have to see the Briscoes tag, Strong/Dragon and BJ/Go. Show Rating: 8.5/10.

Gut Check -

6 man - *** (fun opener)
Jacobs/Whitmer - **1/2 (solid, but fell apart at the end)
Briscoes/Davey and 'Cide - ***1/4 (the opening and middle stages sucked, but the finishing sequence was uber hot)
Joe/Claudio - *** (solid)
Aries and Strong vs Sydal/Daniels - **** (fantastic tag match)
Dragon vs Cabana 2/3 falls - ****1/4 (awesome match, despite Dragon's injury was great throughout, last 10 minutes rocked)

A very good show. The Chicago crowd was great. Wort getting for the last 2 matches, and the undercard is solid. Show rating: 8/10.



Havent seen TTMU sorry.

[GenerationNeXt]

I have a question does ROH still use the top 5 ranking system? I haven't bought an up to date ROH show.

[Thats_howIroll]

Irresistible Forces
1. Adam Pearce & Shane Hagadorn vs. Irish Airborne-**
It was an ok match, pretty simple and it gets a below average rating from me!

2. Roderick Strong vs. Shingo-***3/4
This was the first Shingo match that I saw and was really impressed. I like his style and the character he plays. So far out of the 6 matches I have seen this in MOTN IMO.

3. Colt Cabana & Jimmy Jacobs vs. Jimmy Rave & Sal Rinuaro-***
This was a fun match with the usual from this guys.

4. Steve Corino vs. Delirious-**
I didn't really like this match too much. I remember reading reports on this match being bad live and it sure was.

5. Christopher Daniels vs. Austin Aries-***1/2
Great action by both guys. Fairly even match througout, was it better than there SOTF 2006 match I don't know because I haven't seen it.

6. Brent Albright vs. Trik Davis-**1/4
Good for the short squash match that it was. Looking forward to seeing more of Albright in the future.

3 more matches to go.

No. It's never mentioned nowadays.

Now they have the open contracts, feuds, #1 contender matches and "I pinned the world champ in a non title match and/or tag match, give me a title shot!".
