Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
I think that it's now time to buy from the 7.99-9.99 sale of Highspots. I want to suggest me three of those 7.99-9.99 ROH titles except the events from 2002 and 2008. Thanks in advance.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
Raven vs CM Punk - Dog Collar Match - DBD2003
I like this match. Stipulation was utilized very well and they managed to pull out an awesome match with it. Punk sold well, his blade job was sick. Raven was pretty great on his own part. Very good brawl between the youngster Punk and veteran Raven.
***3/4

That's brilliant. Nigel on commentary for 45 minutes should be great fun.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
Double Feature II arrived. Finally can watch the tag match tonight.
EDIT: Jeez the crowd at 'The Hunt Begins' is pretty shit. Of the 4 matches on the DVD, they are only constantly alive for 1 of them.

I was at 'The Hunt Begins' show and yeah you are right, crowd didn't seem to be able to get pumped for a hole match compared to the last ROH show in Montreal, 'The French Connection' where the crowd was red hot the hole night and exploded for the four-corner title match at the end with our national hero Steen in it.
Too bad, but I hope they come back soon because it was pretty good wrestling night anyway, I didn't like Sylvain in the Main event, didn't seem to be able to follow the other talented guys in the ring with him, but the bouts with Wolves vs Steenerico were just great.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
ROH Double Feature II
The Hunt Begins
Tyler Black vs. Jimmy Jacobs
Dead crowd for 3/4 of the match really hurts the rating. Still a very enjoyable match. ***¼-***½
Four Corner Survival
Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong vs. Kenny Omega vs. Jay Briscoe
at Jay Briscoe coming out to Aries theme. Fun FCS.
btw has anybody noticed how FCS's now longer have tags? they are pretty much Fatal Four Way's now. ***-***¼
Claudio Castagnoli and Jimmy Rave vs. Bent Albright and Colt Cabana
Fun match, crowd was a bit better for this then the previous two matches. **¾
Kevin Steen, El Generico and Bryan Danielson vs. The American Wolves and Sylvain Grenier
Pretty good ME but Grenier looked so bad next to everyone else. ***½
Tag Title Classic
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Colt Cabana
This reminded me of Colt's matches in 2005/2006. Just really great fun throughout the match. **¾
Austin Aries, Rhett Titus and Kenny King vs. Kevin Steen, Generico Dos and Kenny Omega
This was so incredibly awesome. Aries, Titus and King go together so brilliantly and their heel tactics seriously added to the match. The crowd was hot for pretty much the entire thing as well. ***½
Markham Street Fight
Jimmy Jacobs vs. Delirious
Probably Delirious's best singles match in over a year. Just a very good brawl between the two, even better then their one from Insanity Unleashed. ***½-***¾
Jay Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong
This is the kind of match that attracted me to ROH in the first place. Two great wrestlers just have a great hard hitting, high impact wrestling match that the crowd are all over. Brilliant stuff. ***½
ROH World Tag Team Title Match
The American Wolves vs. Bryan Danielson and Tyler Black
This here is the best tag team match I've seen in the last 3 years. There isn't a single thing about it that I didn't love, you've got a team that people have started to notice in The American Wolves, a future World Champion and former tag team Champion in Tyler Black and the best wrestler in the world, Bryan Danielson. Wolves have already been known to work on the legs of their opponents which they do to Danielson here, and Danielson does what he does best in the world and that's sell his leg like a champion (he sold his leg nonstop for around 30 minutes). Both teams show incredible intensity during the match and tremendous team work as well but perhaps the best thing about this is the pacing of the match. When Bobby Cruiser said that there was only a minute remaining, it had seemed like the match had only been going on for 20 minutes. This is the kind of thing that makes me love ROH and has made me a fan of the company for the last 4 years. EPIC match, and I hardly use the word epic. *****
Overall: Putting both shows on 1 DVD ended up being a bloody great idea, because despite the bad crowd during THB there isn't a single bad match on the entire DVD. I highly recommend the DVD to any ROH fan and the Tag Title match to any wrestling fan.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
ROH Supercard Of Honor IV:
1. Erick Stevens vs Rhett Titus - **1/2
2. Chris Hero, Eddie Edwards and Incognito vs Kevin Steen, Jay Briscoe and Magno - **3/4
3. Roderick Strong vs Katsuhiko Nakajima - ***1/2
4. Claudio Castagnoli vs Brent Albright vs Blue Demon Jr. vs El Generico - **1/2
5. Bryan Danielson vs Alex Koslov - ***
6. Colt Cabana vs D'Lo Brown - **1/2
7. Davey Richards vs KENTA (GHC. Jr. Heavyweight Championship Match) - ****1/2++
8. Austin Aries and Jimmy Jacobs vs Necro Butcher and Tyler Black - ***1/4
9. Jerry Lynn vs Nigel McGuinness (ROH World Title Match) - ****1/4
While this isn't the best match-for-match show ROH has done, this show will be remembered for other reasons. Firstly, the emotional title change from Nigel to Jerry and secondly, a true MOTYC in Davey and KENTA. Nothing else, save an action-packed 10 minute match between Nakajima and Strong comes close and indeed, half the card was filled with very average matches. Nevertheless, highly recommended if only for the two terrific matches.
