Ring Of Honor, where Fighting Spirit is supposed to be revered ... things aren't supposed to be this way! Haha. ROH has actually run a few good angles around the hand shaking deal. The one on the 100th Show (the show right after Better Than Our Best) is the first one that comes to mind. The shaking hands thing isn't made out to be as big of a deal anymore though. I remember watching a show back in 03 where someone didn't shake hands and it was "BAW GAWD THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" Well ... something like that ;D Now if someone doesn't, no one really cares. Wouldn't neccesarily say that, as it's still something that is asked for and done before most matches. I remember though, that part of Christopher Daniels gimmick was not shaking hands, and he didn't do it until very, very recently (and I was kind of mad ROH didn't make a bigger deal out of it). As for the Fight Without Honor...ROH has always pretty much had the matches be at the referee's discretion for how wild it can get. Fight Without Honor basically is the ref is just their to make get the submission or pinfall.

Oh I know they still do it in 95% of the matches, I'm just saying that it's no longer made out as horrid if someone doesn't do it. Seems like whenever the handshake is refused, the worst I hear on commentary is "not following the code of honor here". Although to be fair, when Albright didn't shake Daniel's hand right away, the crowd was really starting to get on him. Maybe the crowd cares more than the commentary team does? lol.

I look at it more as something like the commentary guys not insulting our intelligence by not having to tell us the significance of not doing the handshake in ROH is all about. Like in the WWE you have to hear the rules for the match every single ten minutes.

Like in the WWE you have to hear the rules for the match every single ten minutes. That makes sense. I don't know, it just feels to me that it isn't as much a point of emphasis as it used to be.

I really wish they made a big deal about Chris Daniels giving his first handshake. He gave it to Claudio Castagnoli, and then by the end of the night, Claudio betrayed ROH and sided with CZW. They definitely should've done something with that.

Has anyone seen the Straight Shootin' interviews with Ron Killings or Christian Cage? If so would you reccomend them? Look through the ROH Message Board for some possible reviews, as I doubt anyone here has seen those interviews. I know that I haven't at least.

I want to get 5 of the best ROH shows from 2006
ROH Best in the World
ROH Better than our Best
ROH The 100th Show
ROH Death Before Dishonour IV
ROH Glory By Honour V: Night Two
Im thinking of getting these 5 shows.
They look to me to be the best ROH shows of 2006.
Does anybody have any changes that they would make?

He goes through the usual stuff you'd expect, along with some very funny stories. Very insight stuff. One of the finest single person Shoots ROH has. Killings' I'd only try to get while it's part of a sale like the $10 deal or something. It's not the best, nor the worst of the Straight Shoot Series, it's just sorta there.

Is Joe/Punk II a good show? I mean, yes, you have one of the best matches in wrestling history on there, but is it essentially a one-match card? Oh, and I'm playing it safe and ordering Manhattan Mayhem. Too bad it'll take forever to get to Canada, but I'm not exactly swimming in cash at the moment.

I was talking about this with someone else a couple of weeks ago actually. It's a shame the I Quit match with Shelley and Jacobs goes on right before Joe vs Punk, because no one is ever going to remember it. I love that match. And the Gen-Next vs Rottwielers tag match is good. Really, it has some good/decent stuff, but if you're buying it you're buying it for Joe vs Punk II. So you're just going with Manhatten Mayhem for the time being?

got my first batch of roh for christmas i have been wanting to start for a while but didnt know where to start. Ive been watching on the wrestling channel for a few months but we dont get the big matches from the shows. I got road to the title so i could see some of the early stuff and wasnt really too impressed. I also got dbd3 as i decided thats where im gonna start my roh collection from watched it earlier today and wow im hooked what a show i wanted to see it because im a big punk mark (and this is only from seeing him in ecw and his 2nd and 3rd match with joe thanks to google video) the heat he generates after the win was just incredible. ive also got the best of cm punk better than you still to watch along with punk the final chapter i am now hooked on roh.

So you're just going with Manhatten Mayhem for the time being? Yeah, just Mayhem. I'm going to slowly wean myself into ROH. Plus, all the other DVDs I wanted weren't in the Ten Dollar Sale, so it's not a big deal.

The sale has been pushed forward until 10 in the morning. You know, I was thinking last night that they might push it forward due to popular demand ... wierd.
