^ I'd probably go with The Future Is Now on that one. You have Homicide vs James Gibson, Roderick Strong vs CM Punk, & Low Ki vs Austin Aries.

No....no....no...NO! NO! NO!

The 100th Show....IMO of course...just wasn't good. The main event brawl wasn't worth the purchase, simply because it just wasn't that well structured. I mean if you really wanna see the main event, then buy it, and you might enjoy it...but the rest of the show was just decent. For such a huge milestone, it was a real let-down.

Then again, you'll be getting it for free with the 3 for 1 sale...but still, just could have been a lot better. Any other shows you're thinking about buying?

Great order.

Dragon Gate challange is great and SOH & BTOB are two of the best shows in ROH History.

The 100th show is great too. AJ Styles & Matt Sydal vs The Briscoes was pretty great as well, and I really think the Briscoes are better now than they’ve ever been. AJ diving to stop the spike jay driller at the end made for a really memorable finish.

The ROH/CZW brawl is every bit as great as the live reports suggested. It really came across as total out-of-control hateful insanity, out as well as any no-dq match I’ve ever seen. And despite being a long-ish match with mostly crowd brawling, it never got old... mainly because they spaced out a series of one-on-one in-ring showdowns between the main sets of rivals (Joe and Hero, Pearce and Necro, Whitmer and Super Dragon). There were a ton of brutal spots (highlight: Joe preparing to drop Necro onto two chairs, then pausing because he’s thought of a more painful way to arrange the chairs), and the spots all meant something because they were presented as pivotal parts of the match, and not as randomly thrown together hardcore spots. All in all, this was my favorite ROH brawl, and one of my favorite ROH matches ever.

The Danielson matches and promos were incredible. Here, like at “Arena Warfare,” Danielson does a tremendous job of interacting with the hostile CZW fans.... insulting the CZW side, playing up to the ROH side, being a mentor to his students, but still being a cocky prick to everyone. The short Cabana match was fun, with the finish being totally shocking and believable--- just a really great and original way of starting the rivalry for future title matches. But the Delirious match is a hundred times better. Delirious takes a vicious beating, with all sorts of great bullying and mask-tearing... but he keeps fighting until he’s bloody and unconscious, and comes out looking like a total star. It’s really impressive how this show launched two big world title feuds in two totally different ways.

I say you order 100th show and then get Weekend of Champions: Night 2 in your next order.

You will not be dissapointed with your order.

Well, I doubt you wrote all that, but anyway, allow me to debate that.

First off, a TON of brutal spots? Not even. There were a few spots here and there, and they were definitely cool spots, but overall it wasn't as great as the live reports said. And saying it wasn't all thrown together...yes, yes it WAS all thrown together, almost any hardcore match is, and this one especially. Not to mention that the whole match is basically Joe, Whitmer, Necro, and some other CZW guy. Pearce, Hero, Dragon, etc are either on the ground for 90% of the match or running out in the crowd doing something random. It ended up being like 2v2 or even 1v2 for most of the brawl. And then the crowd...well...for a main event that's supposed to depend on crowd atmosphere to be so tremendous (CZW vs ROH fans), it was a let-down. The crowd wasn't 'dead' exactly, but it was just really...well....not alive, unless one of the spots just happened. It's tough to explain, but definitely not the amazing atmosphere the live reports suggest. I'm not saying it was a bad match, I enjoyed it, but it's not worth the DVD purchase and the match wasn't as good as the live reports said.

Then you talk about Danielson. Yes, his promos were awesome at 100th show, but you want someone to buy the DVD because he played a good bully in his short match against Delirious? And he squashed Colt in 5 minutes? Neither match was 'good', mainly because it didn't have any time, and it was only there to setup two branches of feuds. Nothing else on the DVD besides the main event stands out for a purchase, and even the main event didn't seem worth the purchase.

**Role Model** · 06-24-2006, 10:45 AM

Well I'm starting to change my mind now.....

Kurt F'N Angle! · 06-24-2006, 10:46 AM

Your must not be a fan of hardcore wrestling as this was the best hardcore match i have seen i a long time.

Colt vs Danielson wasn't very good but it started a storyline where colt said he was going back to the bottome and make his way back to the top.

And i wouldn't say that Danielson/Delirious was short, it got 15 minutes and was pretty good.
