Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
So I'm sad to say that I've been neglecting CHIKARA...
I have Negative Balance and Renaissance Dawns, and I recently picked up King of Trios 2011.
But I would like to expand on my CHIKARA collection and was wondering what recommendations you all had for me to look into next...

Best Of DVD's are the, uh, best way to go if you're just looking for quality matches. Obviously I could recommend any year of King of Trios, too. 2009's Hiding in Plain Sight, 2010's Wit, Verve and a Bit o' Nerve and the recently-released The Case of the Bulletproof Waldo from a few weeks ago are all excellent as well. It just sorta depends on what you're looking for and how familiar you are with the company.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
ROH Tag Title Classic II
Kenny King vs. Adam Cole **½
Colt Cabana vs. Mike Bennett *
Trial Series Match #5
Andy “Right Leg” Ridge vs. Christopher Daniels **¼
“Pick Your Poison” Rematch
Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen and Steve Corino ***
Four Corner Survival
El Generico vs. Rhett Titus vs. Grizzly Redwood vs. Ricky Reyes **
Kyle O’Reilly vs. TJ Perkins ***¼
Non Title Special Challenge Match
Roderick Strong vs. Sonjay Dutt **¾
ROH World Tag Team Title Match
The Kings of Wrestling vs. The American Wolves ****½
* O'Reilly/TJP was pretty great. Some unique exchanges between the two, and I'm really looking forward to TJP's other ROH matches
* Strong/Dutt was probably one of the better Dutt ROH matches I've seen
* The main event was excellent as expected, however it doesn't even touch the original Tag Title Classic. I also put KOW/Briscoes and MCMG over it in terms of their best title defenses
* Overall a pretty enjoyable show especially for a B show. The only match I wasn't into in the slightest was Cabana/Bennett

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
I'd honestly put Nowhere to Run quite a bit ahead of Manhattan Mayhem. Both have one match that isn't bad but is nothing special (MM opener :: Jacobs vs. Collyer), but if you compare the similar matches, Nowhere to Run tends to come out on top.
The title match? Aries vs. Danielson > Aries vs. Shelley.
Punk vs. Rave? Cage match > Dog-collar match.
Cabana vs. Nigel? Call it a slight push, but I'd go with Chicago.
The mid-card singles? Lethal vs. Joe > Homicide vs. Doug.
The mid-card tag? Strong/Evans vs. Shelley/Delirious > Jacobs/Whitmer vs. Strong/Evans. BY FAR.
The Gibson matches? Call it a surprising push, although it's between Whitmer and a 2005 Romero, both of which sucked pretty badly.
The MM main event, while a lot of fun, isn't all that great by itself. Then again, we are comparing the shows as a whole, rather than piece by piece. My suggestion: watch them both along with The Final Showdown in between to judge for yourself, it'll be the greatest consecutive 9 hours of indy wrestling you've ever watched.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
I'd have to include Supercard Of Honor III in my best of all time list. Amazing show. Only one match that isn't that good.
Delirious/Go ***1/4
Strong/Stevens ****
Briscoes/AOTF ****1/4
Steenerico/BxB Hulk and SHINGO ****
Nigel/Aries ****1/2
DG 6 man ****1/2
That is what you call a fucking epic show.
