Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Hey Spart you seem like you know abit about CZW maybe you can help me out.
Ive never ordered a CZW show but figured I would give them a go as Im upto date with ROH and I wana see more from the likes of Chris Hero, Claudio and Kingston mainly. Im thinking of getting 3 to 4 shows but am not sure what are must haves. So far Im thinking of getting these 3:
Cage of Death 8
When 2 Worlds Collide
Best of the Best 5 or 4 (heard there both good)
Are any of these must have? And what would you add for a fourth show? Recomend more then one if you feel theres something better then what I got.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RM i venture to say nobody has seen it yet, although i will say i wont be buying this one of IVP. THe only match that really interests me is Akiyama VS Go. Morishima VS Misawa does nothing for me either.
On a related note, Ill have ratings up soon for the 12-10-06 NOAH show and the NOAH Departure 2004 show once i finish the departure show. i can say that 12-10-06 is a one match show, but Misawa VS Marafuji in Misawa's last big title shot is well worth the price of the dvd.
By the way, does anyone know when Kobashi will be back in the ring?

Takeshi Rikioh, Naomichi Marufuji & KENTA vs. Yoshihiro Takayama, Minoru Suzuki & SUWA, is such a fun match, and the finish is just completely excellent considering it's SUWA's last match for the company.
Akiyama vs Go, is a decent, compact match, very similar to many of Go's matches against guys who are clearly higher in the pecking over than him. The McGuiness/Williams tag is also a good crisp match with nothing worng with it.
Overall I think it is a pretty good show, that is just let down by a pretty poor main event, due to Misawa being concussed halfway through it.

Cage Of Death 8, Cage Of Death 6, Night Of Infamy 4, When 2 Worlds Collide, Violent By Design, Best Of The Best 2, and that's in no particular order. I'd say COD8 and NOI4 are the best.

Don't mean to be offensive here, but you shouldn't really get into CZW. Pretty much all of the homegrown talent -only the ones that work CZW - eg. Tha Arsenal - they suck as wrestlers. CZW shows are usually fun and easy to get into, but the booking etc. can be really stupid at times and the match quality isn't very high.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
To Honor, I have heard to expect Kobashi back in late April early May, but its all subjective and pretty much speculation. Just got a bunch of shit in today, what should I watch first?
CZW Best of the Best 6
CZW Strictly CZW
CZW A Prelude to Violence
CZW Down with the Sickness 2
ROH Main Event Spectacles
ROH Generation Next
NOAH 1/22/2006
NOAH 10/29/2006
Toryumon Wrestlejam
Best of Takeshi Morishima
Here's the situation. I'm new to CZW, pretty much just DL'ed world title matches prior to now. Figure I'll start with Hero's reign and move on from there. I try and keep recent with ROH, and since I became a fan in 2005, those were two classic shows that I just missed out on. I download NOAH shows, but I'm a bit of a quality freak so I upgraded on those. I have only seen the main matches from them. Dragon Gate I'm pretty much 100% new to. As for the Morishima comp, I've seen everything but a six-man and I think one other, and I'll pay $3 to see those. What should I peep first?

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Yea Im getting the Rotweillers one because I am a Low Ki and Homicide fan. And instead of buying Bets of Homicide i figured Id ratehr get this. And yea i knew Daniels would be good hes one of my favorites. And im gettin that Punk because it has like 3 Somoa Joe vs Punk matches and I hear they are classic. Also I am a big fan of Jack Evans right now. I know hes not the best wrestler. Maybe Ill grow outta his style but I cant help but download him every chance I get. Thanks for the advice though Spartanlax. Repped.

Re: Official ROH DVD Help Thread
Watch the Toryumon Wrestlejam, awesome stuff from Aries & Strong, both in tags and in singles. Although, sorry to say but those CZW shows are pretty poor compared to others, aside from DWTS2 which has an insane title match and is my pick for CZW MOTY (but I haven't seen Kingston/Necro yet).

Don't mean to be offensive, but really, how much of CZW has you seen? First off as far as homegrown talent goes, you're right in saying MOST of them aren't talented wrestlers, but a few of them are, and The Arsenal was not trained by CZW. Booking is whacked but it doesn't take away from the matches, and certain shows do have high match quality. I mean, NOI4, COD6, COD8, VBD, BOTB2, BOTB5, W2WC, etc, have some pretty awesome matches, and as you said they're fun to get into. So, please explain to me why someone shouldn't get into CZW when they're really fun shows to watch and put on some great matches when they need to?
