These Paul London shoots are just insanely entertaining, even when he isn't high out of his mind talking about dead fetuses and fucking Dixie Carter. I'd say he's an even more awesome character sober, the guy is just molded out of pure charisma. His take on the OVW days and debuting against Lesnar are absolute must see material. I could listen to him all day, swear to God.

For just a buck: full lenght PWG matches, rare oldies, the entire London & Kendrick shoot, everything. Fucking heavenly.
 
#870 ·
Do any of the PWG matches have commentary? I may use FRAPS and record some matches if so.
 
#872 · (Edited)
At least the more recent one's do like stuff from last year. I had a quick look at a BOLA 2006 match and there wasn't any. It could vary, though.

Just finished a part of Maria Kanellis' shoot and I have to say there's just a sweet girl, an intelligent one too. The very opposite of your average bimbo diva. I wanna marry her, dammit. No smitlick, I ain't sharing.

I think every PWG match has commentary, you just have the choice to turn it on or off. (I usually turn it off, I can't stand the annoying drunks they let do their commentary)

Yeah they do, apart from some early shows. But we were talking about Highspots' on-demand stream service, where it's not an option. Newer DVDs have commentary on the default audio track, whereas in older releases you had to select track 2 with the remote. That could explain the lack of commentary on some uploads.

It should be a tremendous atmosphere. While it's not the best idea to have two live pay shows on WM weekend, it at least tells the audience that unlike Phoenix, these will be premier shows for the company.

ROH Champions vs. All Stars
Notable Matches:

-Kenny King vs. Kyle O'Reilly (***3/4)
While not the star making performance I hoped for, this is still a great athletic exhibition. Both men impressed me. Go out of your way to see this.

-Roderick Strong, Daniels + KoW vs. El Generico, Briscoes + Davey Richards (***3/4)
Another very good match. Although not epic, it was still a fun way to spend a half hour. The Davey/Roddy exchanges were awesome as was Daniel's role on the heel team. A good main-event.

Rating: 67/100

There was a bit of filler on this show (which is expected with 8 main-eventers in one match). I would get this as a freebie after buying two dvds. Although 67 doesn't seem like an amazing score, it might as well be a 95 with RoH's track record for their first shows of the year. A good start for Ring of Honor.

ROH Only the Strong Survive

Notable Matches:

-TV Title: Christopher Daniels (c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli ****
Awesome match. These two have amazing chemistry and the result is a good, crisp wrestling match similar to Daniels/Omega at DBDVIII. Exceeded my expectations.

-Davey Richards vs. Chris Hero ***3/4
A bit of a let down. Davey's selling was pretty inconsistent and the crowd wasn't with them enough for the near falls to not look like overkill. It's hard to build to an epic crescendo when they don't pop for a kickout. With that said, you can't go wrong with Davey and Hero and there are still some great moments in the match.

-World Title: Roderick Strong (c) vs. Jay Briscoe ****
Against all odds, Jay Briscoe made me believe he had a chance of taking the belt. An aggressive, bloody match that concludes the weekend in grand fashion.

Rating: 80/100

This was a weird show. Some stuff overachieved (Daniels/Castagnoli, Briscoe/Strong) while others underachieved (Hero/Richards, Four Corner Survival). The good definitely outweighs the bad. Make this your first RoH purchase of 2011.

So I guess I'm the only person here who loved Cole vs. Bennett from Champions vs. All Stars? I thought it was simple and refreshing. Cole's pinball bumping made Bennett look like a million bucks.

And if Bennett really is playing a WWE-type wrestler using a more basic moveset to get heat...well then I think that's kind of awesome.

I also enjoyed it quite a bit. Maybe even more than King/O'Reilly. But I still don't like Bennett at all.
 
#889 ·
How long was Pearce the champ, about a year? Guess with everything they did to build this up as the final encounter between the two Cabana has to win. From what I've seen from NWA from Hollywood I've enjoyed Cabana more there then in ROH.

ROH - Only The Strong Survive

Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly vs. The Bravado Brothers - **3/4​

Rhett Titus vs. Caprice Coleman - **1/2
Strong showing from Coleman.

Colt Cabana vs. Grizzly Redwood - **1/4
About as good as it could've been between the two.

Mike Bennett vs. Cedric Alexander - *1/2
Cedric Alexander, another athletic black guy.

ROH Television Championship
Christopher Daniels(c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli - ***3/4
I've been watching Daniels wrestle for years now and I've just never been a big fan of his, always thought he was average. In the sense that he never did anything special, just kinda played it safe. But watching his matches from this year have made me become a huge fan. He's stepped his game up tremendously since his return to the company and I applaud him for that. He's got my early vote for wrestler of the year right now. Oh and this was a great match by the way. Don't think the botched BME hurt it, but I hated the Bennett interference. I'd completely forgotten he was even at ringside until he came up on the apron, then I was like fuck you. Check this match out though, real good stuff.

Steve Corino & Andy "Right Leg" Ridge vs. Alabama Attitude - **​

Davey Richards vs. Chris Hero - ***3/4
Overkill, overkill, overkill. Wayyyy too many nearfalls to the point where it was just pissing me off. It was booked like they had to have a match of the year candidate by forcing the nearfalls. The first 20 minutes are great, but it should've been over not long after that. Hero should've won too, about 14 times.

Four Corner Survival
Homcide vs. Kenny King vs. El Generico vs. Mark Briscoe - **1/2
This gave me some hope on the Daniels/Briscoe match from SoCal 2.

ROH World Championship
Roderick Strong(c) vs. Jay Briscoe - ****
"Man up, motherfucker!" Brutally stiff match as you'd expect from the two. Briscoe's nearfalls were incredibly believable, which is definitely something you like to see.

Overall: 7.5/10
Two great matches, another good one that was overbooked, but then just a whole lot of filler. Still, a good showing to kick off the year.

Good for Colt.

And it's awesome news that ROH has sold out for Mania weekend. I might be looking forward to being at those two shows more than Mania itself.

And I might been to call an audible and get to the DGUSA show if it's going to be Aries last match.
 
#892 ·
Colt's a world champ! Hell yea!

I'm glad I picked the 4/2 DGUSA show now that it looks like it'll be Aries last match. That's gonna be a loaded day for me - ROH fan convention @ 10A, ROH @ 1P, Rampage Pro Wrestling bonus card at DGUSA @ 6P, DGUSA @ 8P, and LIVE $5 Wrestling with Colt Cabana and friends @ 11P. I can't wait
 
#893 ·
For the $5 Dollar wrestling show are they actually going to wrestle and have Colt & Marty do live commentary? If they are I might have to go to this.
 
#895 ·
Yep, along with random appearances from wrasslin' buddies of Colt who were promised cheap beer. With DGUSA at 8 that night, I doubt I'll be able to make it though. :sad:
 
#898 ·
Mixed?

Most people peg the show as having 1 - 3 four star matches.

All Night Express vs. The Briscoes announced for Manhattan Mayhem 4:


Two teams came out of the “9th Anniversary Show” riding sky high. These two teams are not those men, but these four individuals have nothing to be ashamed of after their performances in Chicago Ridge. The All Night Express, Kenny King & Rhett Titus, went toe-to-toe with The Kings of Wrestling in an attempt to claim the ROH World Tag Titles and end the record setting reign of Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli. Although they came up short in their bid; King & Titus proved that their names belong right beside the KoW, The Briscoes, and the WGTT when discussing the elite tag teams in wrestling today.

Speaking of the Briscoes, they too were unsuccessful in their dream match against Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin on February 26th, and from what ROH officials have been told, that loss stung fiercely with Jay Briscoe.

“Hurt to lose that one man, I ain’t gonna lie.” said Jay, “Me and Mark, we are Ring of Honor, been here since day one, and that should’ve been our fight to win. Hell, this ain’t been our year when you look at it. I didn’t beat Roddy in Charlotte and take his belt, Mark didn’t take Chris’ belt in LA; looks like it’s time for the boys to step up our game. Feel bad for whoever steps into that ring with us next.”

Well the team that will have to square off with the Briscoes will be The All Night Express at “Manhattan Mayhem IV” on March 19, 2011! Both teams want those belts around the waists of the KoW and NYC will mark a fresh starting point for all four men. They have done the dance before, but Titus & King have come quite far since their last dance in the Big Apple at “Supercard of Honor V” and their rematch at “Buffalo Stampede II”.

“One more round with dem Briscoe boys?” asked Kenny King, “One more opportunity for me and Rhett to lay out some legends. See we got a taste in Chicago, we got a little sneak peek at our championship moment and that just wasn’t enough. Me and Rhett want more, we want the real deal, the whole damn enchilada. And if we gotta run over the Briscoes to get another shot, then so be it. We’ll run over Haas & Benjamin, Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly, those Bravados boys; we’ll run over every damn team Ring of Honor has got until we get another shot.”

The Briscoes vs. The ANX! “Manhattan Mayhem IV” on March 19th! Come witness the best tag team wrestling today firsthand: http://www.rohstore.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=208!
