Since he's from the SoCal area (former coach of the Pasadena Chargers remember), PWG should bring in Duane Gill.
 
#835 ·
PWG could act surprised that there's a Pasadena outside of SoCal.

What show would you guys buy?

Redemption 2005
Showdown In Motown 2005
Enter The Dragon 2005
Stalemate 2005
Best Of American Super Juniors Tournament 2005
Steel Cage Warfare 2005
Buffalo Stampede 2005
Survival Of The Fittest 2005
Back To Basics 2005
Trios Tournament 2005
It All Begins 2005

All these shows are 5 bucks right now by the way.
 
#838 ·
I thought Enter The Dragon was pretty weak aside from Aries/Danielson (was ok) and Corino bringing the lulz at CM Punk's expense and hear the same about Buffalo Stampede. Ironically all 5 of the 2005 shows I haven't seen are on that list (haven't seen Buffalo Stampede, Trios, It all begins, Back to Basics or Showdown in Motown) but Steel Cage Warfare, Redemption & SOTF are solid shows. BOASJ Tournament has some good stuff too. Nothing great overall but $5 is a fair price.
 
#839 ·
BOASJ is fantastic, if just for Gabe bitching about Dragon Soldier B on commentary. And also for Spanky/Danielson and Strong/Gibson.

Five of the eight 2005 shows I haven't seen are on that list. Of McQueen's, I've seen It All Begins (mediocre), Trios Tournament (bad), and Back to Basics (pretty good).
 
#841 ·
Okay, here's what I can remember.

During Danielson/Spanky, which is fantastic, Gabe talks about how it's going to be the best tournament ever, because it's also got Black Tiger, Alex Shelley, James Gibson, Roderick Strong, and Matt Sydal. *pause* And also Dragon Soldier B, who New Japan wanted in this tournament, we don't really know what to look for from him.

DSB faces Sydal (who was a part-timer at the time, I believe making his first east coast ROH appearance), does absolutely nothing, wins by holding the ropes. Gabe and Nulty bitch about it.

Gibson's back gets destroyed by Strong, Gabe and Nulty bitch about how DSB will get a free pass to the finals. Gibson comes out anyway, DSB does nothing of note and wins, Gabe and Nulty bitch about it.

Gabe and Nulty openly root for Black Tiger in the final, talk about how ROH didn't even want DSB, how NJPW made them use him, and how he had to cheat to beat Sydal and only beat Gibson because Strong destroyed his back. DSB wins the tournament, Gabe and Nulty bitch about it.

The only full show I've seen from that list is BOASJT, which has two fantastic matches in Danielson/Spanky and Aries/Homicide and a lot of solid stuff in between. I don't recommend watching it all in one sitting though, it's a pretty long show.

Going from what matches I've seen from all the other shows, I'd say go with BOASJT or Steel Cage Warfare. Awesome, awesome main event in that one.

I'm waiting until I get to Atlanta. Someone will post the good shit before then, so I'd rather wait until the LA and Chicago shows are available.

2006 was trash between Glory By Honor and Final Battle.

ROH Champions vs. All Stars

Roderick Strong vs. Christopher Daniels - **1/4

Andy "Right Leg" Ridge & Grizzly Redwood vs. The Bravado Brothers - *3/4

"The Prodigy" Mike Bennett vs. Adam Cole - ***
Really surprised by how much I enjoyed this. What's even more surprising is that Bennet actually didn't look awful in this match. He actually did well.

Homicide vs. Rhett Titus - **1/2
This is the match where Homicide headbutted Titus and split his head the fuck open. It was pretty crazy to say the least. Post match Titus tried to cut a promo with blood just spilling down his face and his words were totally slurred and had no idea what city he was. Nasty stuff.

Steve Corino vs. Kaleb Conley - *1/4
Corino's pre match promo was brilliant as usual. The match, not so much. I have no idea who Kaleb Conley is at all.

Colt Cabana vs. Caprice Coleman - **1/2
If you aren't familiar with Caprice Coleman, he's just your prototypical really athletic black guy, which isn't a problem but it's tough to stand out. This was your usual fun from Cabana.

Kenny King vs. Kyle O'Reilly - ***

Champions vs. All Stars 8-Man Tag
Roderick Strong, Christopher Daniels, & The Kings of Wrestling vs. Davey Richards, El Generico, & The Briscoes - ***3/4
Not quite what I was hoping for, but still a great match. Long one too. The finish was kinda random so that held it back. The exchanges between Davey and Roddy were fucking great though, I REALLY want to see a title change on 4/2.

Overall: 6/10
A decent house show with a great main. Nothing to go out of your way to see but with the bonus disc added, I'm sure it's worth your money.
 
#858 ·
Pretty much agree your ratings so far (haven't seen the main) though I did like King/O'Reilly more then you did. The bonus disc like the others they've put in is great if you don't own all the shows and every match is great except for Ladder War II.

CZW - Twelve

UltraViolent Rules - #1 Contender Match for CZW World Heavyweight Title
Devon Moore vs. Drake Younger - **
Was a good match that just went for far too long.

Best Of The Best X Qualifier
Sami Callihan vs. Alex Colon - **1/2

CZW WIRED Title
Danny Havoc vs. Drew Gulak - *
There may be worse wrestlers out there, but perhaps none more boring then Drew Gulak.

Scotty Vortekz vs. Akuma - *
Now I can see why Akuma’s much better in tags. Not a drop of personality at all, and the ring rat that's him manager doesn't help.

Six-Man Scramble - Best Of The Best X Qualifier
AR Fox vs. Ryan McBride vs. Rich Swann vs. Aaron Arbo vs. Ty Hagen vs. Jonathan Gresham - **
I know DJ wanted to capitalize on the you tube vid, but this one was just forced.

DJ Hyde vs. Greg Excellent - N/R
I can’t imagine anyone caring about a “shoot” angle between the owner who doesn’t know anything about running a company and perhaps that company’s worst wrestler who is only still there because the owner likes hanging out with him.

Best Of The Best X Qualifier
Adam Cole vs. Pinkie Sanchez - **3/4

CZW World Heavyweight Title
Robert "The Ego" Anthony vs. Jon Moxley - ***

CZW World Tag Team Titles - No Disqualification
The Briscoes vs. Philly’s Most Wanted (Joker & Sabian) - ***
Surprised by this match, and it was even better because The Briscoes beat the crap out of Sabian, who by the end looked like he wanted to cry.

 
#860 ·
Sabian right now is the wrestler I hate the most (which is a fine list including Mike Bennett, Greg Excellent, Sami Callihan's face and Ken Anderson). Not just the fact that 95% he's the absolute shits, but he's sandbagged wrestlers, tried to humiliate rookies in the ring and then mocks them for the bad match he put on, basically sexually assaults women in the crowd and punches fans during shows. I remember the NC show they did where he just punched some old guy in the face, took his cap, ripped out some hair with it and spit gum before wrestling in a shitty match. Hope he gets blasted in the face with a chair every month.

#867 ·
I know it's on the DVD. On the file of it that's online it cuts off before the end of the match and I'm 90% sure it's supposed to be like that but I wanted to check if anyone had the DVD could confirm it or knew why.

Watched the 1st ROH double shot of 2011, or at least what I wanted to of it. Decided to give Bennett/Cole a chance seeing as I want to see Bennett have a decent match to see what he can pull out and 187 said it was good. It's better than their match on HDNet this week but that was god awful so it wasn't hard to improve on that. Was still pretty bad and Bennett looked average bar some power moves.

Daniels/Strong was .... not really good. Wasn't a proper match tbf but they didn't do a single thing that made you want to see them have a full match.

King vs O'Reilly was awesome. Really fun and a great match too. Kings showing some more character jarring with the fans was great and both men put in great performances. This was MOTN for me and comfortably better than the 8 man ....

.... which was extremely uneventful. Hopefully this and Tag Title Classic II not getting the rave reviews they probably hoped for will hopefully make Hunter think twice about having these epic matches go so long. The psychology with Daniels tagging with heels was nice and well done. The match just seemed to be there and barely achieved anything though. The Roddy/Davey echanges were nice towards the end. Wouldn't call it a let down because I wasn't expecting much but all the same it could have so easily been better.

Hero/Davey on the 2nd night was a letdown for me too. It wouldn't suprise me in the slightest to see MOTYC ratings get thrown at it by some people but I didn't think much of it. Hero seemed to have an off day of sorts and Davey's selling was an all time low. They tried to put over Davey's concussion from Final Battle and the effects of it but no one seemed to tell Davey this. The amount of times that Hero would "knock him out" only for Davey to leap straight back up like nothing happened was tedious towards the end. Hated how Davey constantly did the KO fall in the Seven match and it ticked me off here too. Matwork seemed arkward at times and it went much longer than it should have done, just short of 30 mins I think.

The 4CS was pretty poor. Cide had a really bad day, Mark didn't do much and made a noticeable big botch, King didn't have his best match and Generico had little to work with. Cide being pissed off with everyone and attacking Generico after made little sense seeing as it led to nothing.

The main event was awesome. Best match of the weekend which was a big suprise. I dont wanna seem .... sadistic or blood thirsty but by god Jay's head being busted open made it so much better than it would have been without, it just did. Jay's fighting spirit and refusal to give up was great with blood all over his face and Roddy actually showed some decent character when Jay got busted open. Jay Driller through the table was an awesome spot on it's own but worked in the context of the match too. Strong took basically nothing before so the huge hope spot from a desperate Jay to take Roddy out and buy him time was awesome. Didn't mind Jay kicking out of big moves because of how much blood he lost and he played an awesome "never say die" babyface. There was some awesome near falls for Jay too. Easily Strong's best match as champ bar the Davey match and I think I preffered this one personally.

SHIFT-8's:
Cole vs Bennett - **1/2
O'Reilly vs King - ***3/4
8 Man - ***1/4
Hero vs Davey - ***
4CS - **1/2
Strong vs Jay - ****
