I agree that the MS was way better than FYF. MS still even after a year and a half still seem special. FYF, not so much. I think what hurt the FYF the most was the naming of the shows. The MS shows have diffrent enough names that you don't have to put a lot of though into which show has which matches. Finally someone agrees. I hated that they didn't give the shows "real" names. That only works every once in a while( like with the Japan shows). It especially pissed me off that they didn't mention anywhere in the title of FYF:Dayton that it was the EXACT 5th anniversary of the first show. It was barely mentioned on the show.

I forget which one is the exact 5th Anny unless when I'm looking at the back of the DVD case and see the three way on there.

Not only was it the 5th anniversary, but it was on the exact same day, 5 years later, that Era of Honor begins was on. It was mentioned about twice on the whole show, once in passing. I think ROH really dropped the ball with that. A 5th anniversary is nothing to scoff at.

They could have Kept the FYF in all the titles. It could have been like FYF:Anniversary and such.

i don't think its that names, its that the MS had more things going on and it was spaced out allowing things to build
however, the FYF does have one thing going for it...no Bruce Leroy ;D

I've ordered both DBD V weekend shows and the 2 FYF shows from Liverpool in the 25% off sale. Then I'll probably save my money for the Black Friday sale and get a load of the shows from this year I'm missing.
Off topic but does anyone know if the UWA Hardcore DVDs on ROH's site are region free or are they DVD-Rs?

Anyone know how long it takes for DVD to arrive during sales like this? I ordered mine last Wednesday and I live in Indiana. Will it be today or tomorrow?

Yeah, because I usually get mine really fast, but I don't know if the sale has made them real busy or something.

I'm thinking that right now, for the Black Friday sale(I know I'm planning this out crazily early), I'm gonna scout the $10 sales from now until then, and see what shows are in. I'll buy about 5-10 shows then, and then use the BF sale to buy about 6 07 shows, and mabe two or three 05/06 shows not in the $10 sale. Then I'll be content with ROH for a while at over 50 shows.

Okay, my parents owe me $250, so I'm pretty much getting some DVD's. I'm already getting Best of Colt Cabana and the Generation Next show from 04. Any suggestions on some others?
