ok, so as far as 2007 goes, I own:
The Entire FYF Good Time, Great Memories and Both Japan Shows.
What are FOUR other great shows?
Just doing some scouting for next week. Of course, this goes right out the window if some more shows are released next week(which I assume they will be, especially since Gabe says they up'd production).

You can't go wrong with Both DBD nights RTTT Night 2 A Fight At The Roxbury

ok. Thanks both of you. I'm less inclined to get RTTT2 without RTTT1. IDK. I'm just weird like that.
I wish I hadn't have bought things like The Office and Guitar Hero, as I'd love to partake in this $10 sale as well, but whatev.

And pretend I said Super Card of Honor II instead of Fight at the Rox. Hell even ASE III is better. I forgot about those two shows.

Just finished catching up with the current releases and wrapped up Motor City Madness 2007. Seems like I got more out of it than others did based on some of the live reports I've read:
1. Davey Richards vs. Silas Young - [**1/2] 2. Chasyn Rance & Kenny King vs. Mitch Franklin & Alex Payne - [*1/4] 3. Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny King - [*1/2] 4. Bryan Danielson vs. Chasyn Rance - [/li][li] 5. Winner Gets World Championship Match - Delirious vs. Roderick Strong vs. Erick Stevens vs. Kevin Steen - [***1/2] 6. Chris Hero vs. Jimmy Jacobs - [***] 7. Naomichi Marufuji vs. El Generico - [***3/4] 8. Nigel McGuinness & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Brent Albright & BJ Whitmer - [***] 9. Street Fight - Rocky Romero vs. Jack Evans - [**3/4] 10. ROH World Championship - Takeshi Morishima(c) vs. Erick Stevens - [***1/2] 11. ROH World Tag Team Championships - Jay & Mark Briscoe(c) vs. Austin Aries & Matt Cross - [***1/4]
The road for Erick Stevens tonight was pretty damn impressive. The four way was a really good match, although when he won the crowd HATED it. He even got on the mic and acknowledged that he obviously wasn't the favorite to win, but he'd just have to win everyone over. Seriously, he did in the title match. Not Morishima's best defense by any means, but Stevens proved he belonged. Great power match. Crowd was going nuts for Stevens near the end and once it was all over.
Generico/Marufuji was about what I expected. Slow at the beginning, but really picked up midway through. Marufuji assaulting Generico all around ringside on the posts was great.
Hero/Jacobs was all about the wackiness with S&S Inc. and Jimmy's relationship with Lacey. Fun times, I'll probably post this one on the forum sometime tomorrow.
I would have personally switched the title matches around, as after Stevens/Shima the crowd was totally dead.
Decent show, but not on the level as either of the Mania weekend shows. Good pick up for a $10 sale next year I'd say.

I just wanna say thanks to whoever recommended me my FIP DVDs. Despite one having a Jimmy Rave match I just gave up on, they've been pretty damn good shows. I am officially a mark for FIP since it's ROH without the smarkiness. Sorry I can't remember your name but whoever helped me out, you're a damn fine man. I'm pretty sure that was me. I'm glad you enjoyed them, because FIP's REALLY grown on me since I started watching it. It really has a style of its own despite being mostly ROH guys.

Pretty good, I bet. FIP's only gonna get bigger. Is there anyone right now in FIP that you think would deserve a Best of DVD? I'm asking this as a blanket question to everybody. I've only ever seen one FIP match (Punk vs. Gibson, from the ROH Death Before Dishonor III DVD). Any of the ROH big guns really: Homicide, Danielson, Cabana, Strong, they could all easily have FIP Best Of DVDs. And the Briscoes are fast on their way to filling up a 2 hour DVD, they've really begun carving out their slice of FIP history. Hell, even Gabe himself on the ROH board started a thread about how insane their match again Necro and Mad Man was at International Impact Phase 2.

Will all of it be one there? It should include all but 1 or 2 student matches that they run while the fans are filing in. No big deal in not seeing something like Rhett Titus vs Shane Hagadorn.

Since you said no to the RTTT, I'd go with: Supercard Of Honor II Death Before Dishonor 5 Nights 1 and 2 Manhattan Mayhem II with a STRONG recommendation towards Domination. Most underrated show of 2007, IMO.
