Just watch Joe vs Punk II match then, that and Shelley vs Jacobs "I Quit" are really the only two matches worth watching.

Escape From New York while may not have my highest averages in star ratings is in my top 10 favorite show. Fun segements between Punk and Foley and every match is at least solid. Hell at that show even the crappy talent like the special K guys, Dunn & Marco and especially the Carnage Crew bring there "A Game" to the table.

Generation Now while not overwhelming is another show that really doesn't even have one bad match just nothing MOTYC or anything. It would be a great buy at $10

Has Midnight Express Reunion got anything else really worth seeing or is it just Joe/Danielson, which I do believe I've downloaded and seen, although it was a while ago now.

Haha, Ironically I checked the show ratings stickied thread cause I knew I was the only one to star rate MER and this was my post.

Midnight Express Reunion
Havana Pitbulls vs Izzy & Angel Dust - ** 1/2
Jimmy Rave vs Trent Acid vs Josh Daniels vs BJ Whitmer - ** 1/2
Low Ki vs Jay Lethal - ****
Homicide vs Nigel McGuinness - *** 3/4
Generation Next vs CM Punk, Ace Steel & Jimmy Jacobs w/Steamboat - *** 1/2
Fun Midnight Express segment
Samoa Joe vs Bryan Danielson (there best match easily) - **** 3/4

Escape From New York
Dunn, Marcos & Dixie vs Lacey's Angels & Vordell Walker - ** 3/4
Whitmer & Jacobs vs Carnage Crew - *** 1/4
Alex Shelley vs Jimmy Rave vs James Gibson vs Azriel - *** 1/4
Samoa Joe vs Austin Aries - ****
Colt Cabana vs Nigel McGuinness - *** 1/2
Homicide vs Jay lethal - *** 1/4
CM Punk vs Roderick Strong - ****

Low Ki brings the best out of Lethal, who to me is normally fairly bland so they had a great match, Homicide vs Nigel was great, the 6 man tag was pretty good and I still think that show has the best Joe/Danielson match ever. And while it runs a little long the Midnight Express segment is quite fun with all the special appearances and of course the "microphone god" Jim Cornette is there. Really outstanding show even by recent ROH shows let alone late '04

Homecoming kinda sucks to be honest. Daniels vs Punk is a big let down and the best match on the card features Jimmy Rave.

Looks like I'll get Midnight Express Reunion then, thanks.

Is The Homecoming any good? The two last matches interest me.

EDIT - oh. Looks like I'll give that a miss then.

Styles vs Rave street fight is fairly entertaining as well as the 6 man on the show but Punk/Daniels is very dissipointing and the undercard pretty much sucks. The main event match goes 60 minutes and they don't do a great job of keeping the match interesting aside from the last few minutes.

Oh rit, Redemption looks good on paper and I've heard loads of people say it's good, but you wouldn't recommend it, no?

That show i'd recommend, the 4 way main is very good as well as the 6 man tag. Again Ki vs Lethal is good stuff and Matt Hardy vs Homicide is decent concitering Matt Hardy is in it and he's a bit of a styles clash with Cide. Spanky vs Cabana is a dissipointment cause they work it comedy style as opposed to actually wrestle and the 4 corner and tag title match both kinda sucked. Not something I'd tell you you "must have" but at 10 buck it's a steal. If you want it get it.

Right so my order is looking like this:

Midnight Express Reunion
Escape From New York
Redemption
Vendetta
Death Before Dishonor IV
Generation Now

And I might be able to stretch to two more shows.

That looks like a good order to me.

After seeing some ratings for Point proven i cant wait for it to arrive. Sounds like a great overall show.
