They usualy only get brought in for the big shows (BOLA, SOH etc) so straight away theres the big show atmosphere. Maybe its just the change of enviroment/scenery. Or perhaps it simply wanting to impress a western audience. Lots of reasons why they may be extra motivated really.

I about jumped with joy when I saw that Smartmark is back and with some loaded stuff up as well.
I have enough cash for 7 shows, knowing me I will just buy the 4 newest Chikara shows + King Of Trios 08.

You're going to want Supercard Of Honor III. It's an extremely recent show and it's being praised as one of the best wrestling shows ever (having like four legit match-of-the-year candidates). Personally, I think Glory By Honor VI Night 2 is the best show ever. It's a fairly recent show that has a mixture of everything; comedy, brawls, pure wrestling, high flying, hard hitting, etc. Very well done show with a hot crowd.

If you only have money for one DVD I'd go along with Spartanlax and get Supercard of Honor III. If you can get a couple, I'd add Man Up, probably the best ppv up to this point. It has a great tag ladder war match where the four wrestlers pretty much kill each other, a great world title match featuring Bryan Danielson, the four other matches are also good for a overall enjoyable show and it's fairly recent so most of the players you see are still in ROH in case you care about that sort of thing.

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
I'd recommend Driven over Man Up. The PPV section is just as good as Man Up's, but the extras are great on Driven. KENTA vs. Danielson is almost as good as the main event of the PPV section.

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
I'd go with Driven over Man Up as well. Driven kinda worked more as a PPV than Man Up, plus KENTA/Danielson III is F'N amazing!

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
For a first timer personally even though its a somewhat older show now, I'd recommend Death Before Dishonor IV from July 2006.
Awesome main event (argueably *****'s and maybe some of the best single match booking for the decade) which was built up for the first whole half of 2006, lots of people you'd recognize from TNA like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Homicide and Sonjay Dutt, and at the same time you'd get a good idea of what the ROH guys are about. Maybe its just me but I think its a solid show to introduce someone to the promotion.
Otherwise yeah you pretty much can't go wrong with Supercard of Honor III or 6th Anniversary Show (which I actually enjoyed a little more).

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
Why would a new fan give a shit about the ROH/CZW war if their first introduction to it is the blowoff?

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
That show covered what happened in the fued pretty well with clips IMO, and who says said fan is going to want or have the money to cronicle 2006 stuff in the first place. Plus the damn main event was awesome.
