I feel like I am one of the few that was indifferent on the top rope breaking haha. Mostly because I thought it was a really good match and I don't know what would have happened with it. They were a clearly frusturated with the circumstance but they got creative and put on a what I believe to be the second best match that night on one epic show

The exclusive videos section for ROH Ringside Members has been updated with all this new shit:

ROH on HDNet (episodes 1-4)
Only the Strong Survive
Classic Joe (9 Samoa Joe matches)
Best of the Second City Saints
New Horizons
Supercard of Honor III

I've clearly already gotten my money's worth.

Am I right in thinking that they've all been added and nothing's been taken away?

I don't think they have taken anything away. This is awesome!

Yes you are.

A little help plz. Have some extra money and I'm looking to get some ROH DVDs but I'm not really sure what have been good shows since around mid '08. My favorite ROH guys are Aries, Danielson, Claudio, Nigel and Erick Stevens if that helps. I'm more or less looking for shows from '08 to now.

Forgot about Cide, big fan of him too but I don't think he was around much in that period.

Supercard Of Honor III, my favorite ROH show ever. It has 5 matches in the ****+ range. It has:
- Stevens vs Strong in an awesome FIGHT!
- Briscoes/AOTF in an insane match
- Steenerico vs BB Hulk and SHINGO in a ridiculously fun tag match
- Nigel vs Aries in one of Nigel's best title defenses and one of the best matches of 2008
- An awesome 6 man Dragon Gate tag, maybe even my favorite one they did.

Also: Northern Navigation (Claudio vs Danielson/Nigel vs Steen/Stevens vs Shiozaki/Strong vs Marufuji) was a great show, and easily worth watching.

Have you seen Driven? I always recommend that show, it's amazing. It's from 07 so I'm guessing you probably have if you're after 08+ stuff.

Sounds like a damn good show, thanks.

Yup, I got the Driven PPV and then ended up buying the DVD too.

Yeah it really is great, just naming the matches doesn't really do it justice lol.

The Driven DVD is great, It's a shame that Dragon/KENTA never made it to PPV, IMO it's better than the Dragon/Nigel match, but honestly if the rest of the show wasn't up to much (which it was lol), it would still be worth paying for just for those two matches.

Just finished watching PWG's BOLA from this year and I have to concur with what had already been said about it being an awesome show and easily the best indy offering of the year.

Mack/Hero was a great opener that made Willie look like a beast despite the backslide finish.

Finlay/Steen was all kinds of cool but had a weird pacing to it. I'd love to see a rematch between those two one day when they really can just beat the shit out of each other.

Generico/Claudio was sen-FUCKING-sational. Just ridiculous amounts of athleticism on display here and both of these guys are on top of their game right down. They are probably my favourite novelty act in wrestling. When it comes to Claudio and Generico, they don't need an angle, they don't need a feud, they will just blow your mind with what they're capable of. Brilliant.

Eddie/Roddy was another great addition to what has been a tremendous series so far this year. I don't care what anyone else says because it's just so blatant that people are hating on Eddie because it's the cool thing to do right now. No other reason at all. Saying he's a bad wrestler is just fucking foolish. A step down from MM and SoH, but still good.

RockNES/Dynasty was a fun little sprint, and the two semi final matches were obviously about saving energy for the final, so they were kind of throwaway comedy-fests. A bit disappointing, but I understand.

Bucks/Kings was good too. These teams could do MUCH better, but it was a Young Bucks match, so it was obviously fun as hell. Watching them bump for Hero and Claudio was brilliant. It reminded me of the good old days when great heel teams like Tully & Arn, the Freebirds and the Midnight Express would bump like fucking lunatics for Hawk & Animal. You just can't beat that shit.

And the final. It was great. The crowd was sensational in this one, and both guys are experts at selling their cross-brand feud. Nowhere near their Final Battle encounter, but that still means it's an epic, epic match. Personally I think it's the best BOLA final ever, beating out Hero/Ki and Omega/Strong.

There's no way Steen Wolf will be better than this. Just ... no way....
