ROH

^ Why think of it as lower class wrestling when you haven't seen any?

It's the best wrestling (arguably) in the world, and it's well worth a look.

WWE and TNA stole/steal (IMO) ROH's talent and ROH's storyline ideas.

If you wanna see some ROH, check out the media section, there's loads posted there.

it is crazy how somepeople consider ROH lower class wrestling just because they don't know any guys that wrestle there because some of them haven't been in any of the major promotions.

I've heard people say that ROH is crap just because they have lower budget than the likes of WWE. It is not about big arenas, pyro technigue, awesome entrance thingys or anything like that because it is about what happens inside the ring and that makes ROH the best promotion in the world (IMO)

Exactly...Wrestling isn't all about fancy lights, music, and 'eye candy'.

ROH has none of these....Wait, they do have lasers....But anyways, ROH doesn't have the same production values as the WWE or TNA, and I can see why some people ignore it or choose to label it as 'lower class'.

However, if any non-ROH fan was to sit down and watch an ROH show. It will become clear that ROH has the best in-ring product than the 'major' brands.

I was wondering...what's a good jumpon point for ROH? I would like to catch up on whatever the major storylines/feuds are right now and then start getting the new shows as they come out.

I was also wondering, do the shows have any commentary? I hope so, as commentators would be a big help in getting angles and gimmick match rules explained to me.

Well if your a new ROH fan get Manhattan Mayhem it's a show from 2005 but it's one of the best ROH shows for new ROH fans. Also yes the showss do you have commentary.

Perhaps I should clarify my question: I want to catch up to the CURRENT happenings in the fed. I'd prefer not to jump in right in the middle of whatever the current big feuds are. So how far back to I need to go to get the jist of the current landscape of ROH?

Kind of a tough question to answer cause at the moment ROH is at a turning point so to speak, also some current fueds have been going on all year such as BJ Whitmer against Lacey and Jimmy Jacobs & Chris Hero vs well... everyone.
I'd say start at Death Before Dishonor IV (7-15-2006) if you want to know the generalized gist of the 2nd half of 2006 ROH. The main event of DBD IV is the conclusion of the biggest fued of the 1st half of the year, but they have plenty of clips to get you up to speed on that so it's not much of a worry, but there are certain things that set the pace for the rest of the year on that show. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I might start there, then.

Do the DVDs do an okay job of bringing new fans up to speed with the commentators, video packages, etc?
