The main event was also hell fun.

I can't say it was all solid wrestling throughout, but the spottiness of it help. It there is a such thing it was a good kind of "spot fest" type action. Personally I am surprised that you would choose Whitmer/Jacobs vs Strong/Evans over Gibson/Romero, ROH World Title, etc....I thought wrong then.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Manhattan Mayhem is simply amazing,I have a hard time on deciding on what the better overall show between MM,and Better Than Our Best. I guess if I had to I would say BTOB was the better show,though both had everything you would want in a show, great Title matches,top notch wrestling,a red hot crowd,and an awesome Main Event.

If BTOB is really better than MM then I need to beg for 20 bucks on the street and pick it up. I heard it was an excellent show but I don't know if anything could top Manhatten Mayhem, can come close, but not sure if it could pass.
From the DVDs I have Manhattem Mayhem > All.

Maybe its just me IDK,but if some disagree with me declaring BTOB to be the better show out of the two,I know for a fact they will say that I'm not too far off, or BTOB is on par with MM. Its an excellent show its really that good,and you would most likely place it in your top three ROH DVDs.

I thought BTOB was the most overrated show of that year.
There is a good type of spotfest, and that is one where the spots are crisp and gradually build up from start to finish. The finish obviously containing the biggest spot.
Believe it or not, that is a type of ring psychology.... all spotfest or "sprint" type matches should employ this.

yeah true, that formula does apply for the MM match up, as when Jack gets his neck crushed by the super contra code.
I am guessing what kind of a match you are refering too is like Do Fixer vs Blood Gen huh? As Spart thinks its just a "spotty" match up we tend to think it was great action.

Your not the only one Honor. Don't get me wrong everyone BTOB is a great show probably even top 10 best ROH shows ever, but best show. Sorry I just don't agree with that I liked both of the other two triple shots more than BTOB and I can think of 3 or 4 more shows I like besides them.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
First of all Chicago Spectacular Night two was only decent show, I mean if you do get it don't worry its still a good show but since I know you don't have a steady flow of income coming in i'd recommend something else.
Out of the Triple show shows
Supercard of Honor - (1/2 amazing matches and a few stinkers but not enough to bring down the show)
Dragon Gate Challenge - (Blood Generation/GenNext 6 man is really fun, Joe/Daniels is good, Whitmer/Jacobs, pretty much the whole show was fun)
Better Than Our Best - (Storm/Danielson is an excellent technical match, Tag Title match is real good and the good 6 man inbetween Embassy/Yoshino & Do Fixer are the 3 best matches on the show. Cide/Cabana while a pretty good brawl that I think is overated a bit, everything is solid on the show I just don't think a lot of the matches are as hyped up as people like to make them sound)

So pretty much anyone of the 3 aside from CSN2 first...that will work. If I have over 20 bucks I will just get SCOH seeing how its $25 apposed to $20. And plus Do Fixer/Blood Gen & Strong/Danielson III is there as well. Thanks
