Whats the better show between escape from New York,and Stalemate?

Also better overall Tag wars 06,or Dissension?

Escape From New York was better than Stalemate in my opinion. Punk/Strong match was a ****+ match to me. I don't know if this will help but I saw both main events from Tag Wars '06 & Dissension.

Aries/Strong vs. Danielson/Lethal: ***3/4
Danielson vs. Styles: ****1/4

Personally I enjoyed Tag Wars 2006 quite a bit more than Dissention. Dissention's Styles/Danielson match was the best match from either show but TW2006 was a all around more solid show and is very very underrated. I also thing escape from NY was a better show than Stalemate by far.

Also last weekend I watched Dethroned and I was very dissipointed, the FIP Title match was pretty good but the Tables are legal stipulation was pretty confusing since no tables were involved although a chair was in the finish, was a decent match but not awesome. Whitmer/Jacobs was fun to watch as was the main event (I loved the hockey check by Joe) but again nothing I would call amazing. Kings/Lords was a pretty crappy match as the Kings got little to no offence in (ending was cool I'll give it that), and eveny other match was kinda lackluster. Dethroned isn't the worst show I've seen but I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Oh wow,I was really considering getting that show too,judging from user R_O_H's review it seemed really solid,not so sure now.

McQueen, I'm actually shocked at your thoughts on Dethroned. I understand the Strong/Shingo thing (to this day my neighbor and I joke about no tables being used in that match), not as good as their first match like I originally thought, but you thoughts Kings/Lords was crappy? Kings got no offense? Dude, they dominated Daniels for about 10 minutes, the match really evened out in terms of the offense each them got and it was just a real solid match. Then you have the main event, which is just a bit better than MCM but a lot more crazy stuff, Whitmer/Jacobs was awesome, McGuinness/Rave was awesome, Richards/Aries was awesome, Albright/Generico was fun but short...I'm failing to see how the card is disappointing and decent, can you elaborate?

By the way, I watched Jay Briscoe vs Davey Richards today from Chicago Spectacular Night 2, and I really hope that wasn't match of the weekend like everyone said. Don't get me wrong, it was a real solid match (***1/2, maaaaybe ***3/4), but not as stiff or as great as people claimed it to be, and looking at both nights cards then hearing Jay/Richards was match of the weekend...kinda says something about the match quality of both shows, but I hope it's wrong.

ROH Vendetta-
Nigel/Chad vs Delirious/Ace Steel-**1/2
Jimmy Jacobs vs Sal Rinaruo-**2/3
Claudio Castagnoli vs BJ Whitmer-***
Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels-***3/4
Adam Pearce vs Davey Andrews-*
ROH World Title: Bryan Danielson vs Roderick Strong-*****
8 Man War: Nana/Rave/Shelley/Abyss vs Styles/Evans/Aries/Sydal-****

Overall-***2/3

The show is worth buying for the double main event and the Daniels/Joe. the other matches are fun little ones and a nice brawl between Cide/Colt. A good show worth 10 bucks.

I just want to say that get ready to see one of the best promos in ROH History (in my opinion) on Death Before Dishonor III by CM Punk.

Can anyone give me star ratings on Tag Wars '06?

Punk:The Final Chapter - - Memorable farewell to CM Punk and he has tears in his eyes walking to the ring. Great moment. Good show overall and 3 strong matches.

This means War - Started very strong with Castognoli vs Shelly. A few avarege matches after that but Danielson vs Strong and Styles vs Aries are both very strong.

Vendetta - Joe vs Daniels is very good and the main-event is a fucking awesome long match. Really good. The rest is okay. Neither great och bad.

Main Event Spectacles - A bit overrated in my opinion and Dragon vs Styles was not as good as it could have been. Still good show thou.

Death Before DishonorIII - All good matches in my opinion and hot crowd. Styles comeback and the show is really great after the intermission.

Tag Wars - A good show with the begging of an great feud. Some okay matches and strong at the end. A bit too much tag team for my taste but still good.

Escape from New York - Really strong main event and good matches from start to finish. Maybe not the firt one as I´m not the bigest fan of Carnage Crew. The last 4 matches are very good and the last match really great.

One of the better ROH show in my opinion. There is no MOTYC on it but 3 four-star matches and 2 matches just below four star. Maybe ***1/2 and ***3/4. The Boston Crowd are very hot as well.
