I generally get next day/2day shipping (although with now living in PA I doubt I'm going to need to do that) and it's usually about 10 bucks a DVD.

Well, I know like these guys, from what I've seen ... - Colt Cabana - C.M. Punk I'm not too big on Samoa Joe. I like him, but I have no need to see his stuff when I can just watch TNA. I know they're two different worlds, but I don't have any way to see Cabana, and Punk is so watered down in ECW that he's not the same guy I saw in Joe/Punk II. Did they feud at any point? Or were they sort of professional rivals but good buddies? Again, I can name maybe five guys on the ROH roster, so I might as well start with the guys I know and work my way in there. Any DVDs with especially good cards that act as an 'Intro To ROH' would be welcome. The best card I'd say to get to introduce you to present day ROH, while featuring some people you are familiar with, would be Better Than Our Best from April of this year. It isn't in the $10 sale, but it's worth the extra cash to get yourself introduced to the product. Cabana and Homicide end their 7 month feud with a Street Fight, Bryan Danielson wrestles Lance Storm (and Storm hasn't lost a step), there is a 4 way with Samoa Joe, Jimmy (wang) Yang, AJ Styles, and Christopher Daniels, and this is a good show to get aquainted with Austin Aries and Roderick Strong at their best as well. As for shows in the sale, get Death Before Dishonor III. CM Punk gets his ROH Title shot, and Colt Cabana gets a Pure Title shot against Samoa Joe. Anything from the Summer of Punk is a great pick up, as IMO that 2 months is CM Punk at his absolute best. Punk: The Final Chapter isn't in the sale but it's his farewell match and it's 2 out of 3 falls against Cabana. I'd also suggest Manhatten Mayhem, which alot of people think is one of ROH's top 3 or so shows ever. Aries defends against Alex Shelley, CM Punk has a dog collar match, Colt Cabana takes on Nigel McGuinness, Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal have a great match. Really solid card. Vendetta wont have as many familiar faces for you, but it's another one of those shows that can get you in to ROH I think. It was one of the first shows I saw, and I loved it. I'm trying to give you some really good options so you dont make the same mistake I did at first. First show I saw was mediocre at best and I started wondering what the big deal with ROH was. Luckily is was just one meh show. What was the first show that you saw? As for intro recommendations, I'd suggest Main Event Spectacles, Death Before Dishonor, Final Battle 2005, Road to the Title, Manhattan Mayhem, Better Than Our Best, Punk: The Final Chapter (yes, while it is a farewell, fans can see just how much genuine emotion Punk draws, plus it has Matt Hardy put over Strong, an OUTSTANDING brawl between Joe/Lethal and the Rotts, AND it also has Noble & Spanky. That's FOUR familiar faces in Punk, Matt, Noble, and Spanky for WWE fans. There is also a very fun opener, as well as a good match between Jimmy Rave and Austin Aries.), Crowning a Champion, Honor Invades Boston, and Reborn Stage 2. I'd say that Midnight Express Reunion is a great intro as well, as it has a fantastic Joe vs. Danielson main event, Homicide putting over Nigel way before Nigel became a main eventer, and a fun reunion segment, plus it has Gangsta Ki at his best.

Just got my In Your Face/Chi-Town Struggle/Epic Encounter II purchase today! Also, my "technically free" tickets for the 1/26 Edison show.
If you want the best of Punk and Cabana, I say start with Third Anniversary Celebration, Night II (criminally underrated show), where Colt has a great exhibition with Nigel McGuinness (which lead to a big time feud a couple months later), and Punk has a fantastic match with Alex Shelley that was supposed to have been a Second City Saints/GeNext feud ender, had Aries not given Shelley the boot.
Also, it starts Punk's great feud with Jimmy Rave, which continues through Nowhere to Run, and builds to his World Title shot at Death Before Dishonor III.
Trust me, wait to get DBD3 until you've seen some of Punk's earlier work. Go for those shows, and maybe some of his Best Of's, where he shows off some of his amazing heel work.

What was the first show that you saw? I've heard some people put it over before, but it was Glory By Honor II. It had some familiar faces, so I thought I'd give it a go. It isn't like ... terrible ... but I've only seen a couple of shows since then that I've liked any less. Punk vs Funk was OK, Raven vs Corino was again, OK. The main event with Joe vs Daniels was a big showdown they had been building to I know, but I thought they've had much better matches. The tag title match was a gauntlet that just didn't interest me at all. All around, I thought it was a pretty disappointing show. But like I said, it's rare that I see an ROH show that I don't like.

For whatever it's worth...the first ROH shows I saw were the Milestone Series, and I've been hooked ever since.

Unfortunately, the highest demanded one is with Joe and Punk, and it's no longer available. Otherwise, I'd suggest just getting the ones of guys you like.
I've been thinking of getting the Mick Foley one, and I can't help but be wildly curious about Kamala's.

Foley's is excellent. Both of Raven and Sandman's are really fun, but I thought the first one was better. I'm still mad Joe and Punk went out of stock.

Oh well, I guess I'll give the Raven/Sandman one a look and grab the Joe/Punk one whenever it gets back in stock. Thanks for the help guys

Raven & Sandman is currently out of stock.
Pritchard's I've read was horrible, because at the time, it was recently after separating from WWE, so he did his best to stay politically correct, hoping he would be rehired soon.

I'll definitely try to pick up Mick's. I've always been a big fan of him, both in and out of the ring.

For the third choice, do you want another Best Of or just a show? The AJ Styles best of is pretty tight if you want a best of. For a show try to snag Supercard of Honor or Better Than Our Best.
