Ok guys, I need some serious help here. I am looking to spend about $100, and I need to know which shows to get. I am looking to get more 2007 DVDs and I have all the way up to Good Times Great Memories. In total, I'm looking at about 7 DVD's or so. What 7/8 shows past GTGM are the shows that I should/need to get? I was thinking:
Respect is Earned Driven Race to the Top Night 1 Race to the Top Night 2 Death Before Dishonor Night 1 Death Before Dishonor Night 2 Manhattan Mayhem.
are these the right picks, or is there another show that I shouldn't pass on?

Damnit, I just noticed that Best of Chikara isn't listed in their store anymore. I really wanted to get it for only 6.50

While your around Andy and MGH, is there any shows from 02 or 03 I should pick up? Besides Era of honor begins, A night of appreciation, RRC, RTTT, Crowning a champion and the show with Cide vs Corino(barbed wire)? The first Glory By Honor is really good. Has Joe's debut against Low Ki in a really hard-hitting match. And Death Before Dishonor I is pretty cool,too. And here are the shows I already own, just to avoid any confusion: Era of Honor Begins Round Robin Challenge Night of Appreciation Road to the title Crowning a Champion Unscripted Glory By Honor Expect the Unexpected Death Before Dishonor Main Event Spectacles The Conclusion Generation Next World Title Classic Joe vs. Punk II All Star Extravaganza II Final Battle 04 Manhattan Mayhem Death Before Dishonor III Sign of Dishonor Punk: The Final Chapter Joe vs. Kobashi Vendetta Steel Cage Warfare Final Battle 05 4th Year Anniversary Arena Warfare Best in the World Dragon Gate Challenge Supercard of Honor Better Than Our Best 100th Show Weekend of Champions night 2 Death Before Dishonor IV Generation Now Glory by Honor night 2 Final Battle 06 FYF NYC FYC Philly FYF Dayton FYF Chicago FYF Liverpool FYF Finale Good Times, Great Memories Live in Tokyo Live in Osaka

For after GTGM those are the right picks my man. I'm taking MGHs advice on MM2 since I haven't seen it yet though. All those shows are awesome with RTTTN1 being the weakest due to heat in building problems.

So I am thinking
DBD V N. 1-2 RTTT N. 1-2
And I am choosing between Manhattan Mayhem II, ASE III, Supercard of Honor II, and anything anyone throws out.

The Jacobs-Whitmer cage match is one of my top MOTYC IMO...plus another great DragonGate main event. I'd go with MMII as well. All I've heard is great things about it. Morishima-Dragon is apparently greatness.

No going wrong with the six man main event and especially Styles/London.

That's a DAMN good list. The only should I would also recommend is Domination.

Manhattan Mayhem II, most definitely. *The Resilence and Jigsaw/Quackenbush put on a stellar opener that makes everyone (even Cross) look like gold *The Hangmen 3 vs. Nigel/Delrious/Pelle is hard hitting with some great post match action *Davey vs. PAC is just BRUTAL *Strong vs. Aries vs. Evans gets really crazy with a free-for-all ending *Ruckus makes a killer debut *Claudio vs. Hero is very good, even though it's mostly setup for the rest of the year *Morishima vs. Danielson isn't the MOTY everyone says, but it's a definite contendor *Briscoes vs. Steen/El Generico absolutely deserves the main event. Words can't describe the insanity of this match

Race To The Top Night 1 1. Whitmer vs. Pelle - *. Comedy match only. 2. Richards vs. Jigsaw - ***. Good match. 3. Claudio vs. Hallowicked - *** and 3/4 *s. Hallowicked's best ROH match to date. 4. Sydal vs. Quackenbush - ** and 1/2 *s. Takes FOREVER to start, but turns into a nice match that's too short. 5. Hero vs. Stevens - **. Mostly a HILARIOUS comedy match by Hero, it sudden gets awesome in the last few minutes. 6. Albright vs. Cross - **. Damn, Albright was OVER in this match. Pretty much a showcase for him 7. Evans vs. Steen - *** and 1/2 *s. Evans was booked as the Cinderella story for this tournament, and kicks off his run in grand fashion. 8. Strong vs. Aries vs. Akuma vs. Rave - ***. Strange booking decisions that angered the crowd aside, a very decent match. 9. Briscoes vs. Danielson/Nigel - *** and 1/2 *s. Great match all the way up to the abrupt ending.

so DBD both nights are still must-buys. I'll probably get Supercard II and and ASE III. Bringing my total to 4 of 6(if I get all $20 dvds.) I've heard an "ok" and a "lame" rating for ROTT Night 1, which will also determine if I buy Night 2. Manhattan mayhem II is another DVD I am highly considering getting. But if I pick that and a mystery show over ROTT, I'll still need another show to fill the hole(if I want to spend all my current money).

So after DBD V and ASE III and SOH II (best shows of the year from what I've seen) I'd still get RTTT both nights. Its not the best show ever but its got some good matches on it. I'm pretty fond of Quack vs Sydal (and I hate Sydal), Hero vs Stevens, Claudio vs Wicked, and even the FIP title match was good for what it was. Night 2 just outshines it on every level.

Haven't got any ROH in a long while, so need to get started from where left off at with what's most 'important' now. Anyway, is All Star Extravaganza 3 come off as a good show? The main event 8-man intrigues me, as does the tag title match and Albright/McGuinness.
