Really impressed by the amazingly high rating given to the recent events. And been casually looking at ROH on the wrestling channel TWC at home. But would really like to get into the ROH wrestling and thinking of picking up few grab bags. Are they worth it. And in that case what recent DVD are worth getting. For a newbie of course.
Thanks

If you are just getting into ROH i recommend looking into the shows from 2006, specifically the CZW feud. 2007 has been good but imo not on par with the early happenings of 2006.

Ive a grab bag in the post it worked out at about £4 incl pandp for 5 dvds, not a bad price at all. should be arriving in the next fewdays and ill put up what i got when i receive them
Im fairly new to ROH only really gettin into it recently. TWC is great but id love it if they showed more and had better continuity to it. The best way i found to get into it was to pick up the best of dvds. Start with the Wrestlers i know from of feds (ie cm punk) get into his matches with certain opponents (ie briscoes) pick up their dvd and get into other wrestlers thru them. Granted it doesnt give the storylines but its a good way to start off, and at a tenner max for a dvd you cant bitch

The Grab Bags aren't DVDs, at least mine weren't. They are 5 programs from ROH shows and a bumper sticker.

I made the same mistake, I would have been disappointed, but I also got best of Chikara, and the bumper stickers were cool. Over all, it evened out.

I would recommend instead of doing a grab bag, maybe buying just one show where you recognize a couple wrestlers. For example, I got Death Before Dishonor III as my first ROH show because I knew AJ Styles, Petey Williams, Austin Aries, and Jay Lethal. That strategy works because you see a lot of people you know, but also get to see some new guys. Back to my example, with Death Before Dishonor III, I went in not knowing CM Punk, Jimmy Rave, and others, and when I finished watching, I knew at least 7 or 8 guys I really liked, and bought more ROH DVDs according to matches with people I know/like. Just a suggestion.

Just a suggestion. That's really the best way to do it. Either get a best-of of someone you like now, and then go off those matches to branch off other wrestlers or go for a show where you have 2-3 matches with people you recognize. My first purchase had AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, CM Punk, Terry Funk, and Steve Corino on it. |

If you're just looking for good ROH DVDs, just buy the DVDs specifically off the site.
I got a grab bag over the summer & got:
- 1PW A Cruel Twist of Fate
- FIP Violence Is The Answer
- IWA-MS Scorpio Rising
- ROH Do or Die IV (Which is basically all FIP guys)
- Chicago's Elite: The Best of The Second City Saints
While I was certainly happy with what I got, if you're hoping to get JUST ROH shows, you'll probably be dissapointed.

The DVD grab bags sometimes disappear for a while, they're around right now though. |
