It's a shame I don't get paid again for another week. Ah well.
Next time I shop ROH, I'm thinking of getting Straight Shootin' with Punk and Cabana. Any word on how it is?

Punk/Cabana, not as funny as you'd think. They tell some good stories about the business though.

It's awesome, get it, though I really recommend Percy Pringle also.

Here's an order I plan on getting in a couple months, once all the DVDs in this list are available, I'll get them during a 25% off or Buy 3 get 1 free sale:
Suffocation Irresistible Forces Honor Reclaims Boston The Bitter End Black Friday Fallout Dethroned Chicago Spectacular Night 1 Chicago Spectacular Night 2 12/22/2006 Final Battle 2006 SSS w/ Cornette & Heenan Vol. 2 SSS w/ Cornete & Dillon Vol. 2
I've thought about getting the Bruno shoot instead of Cornette/Dillon 2, thoughts?

Dethroned is definitely on the list of shows I want to get.
And Cabana/Punk would be the first shoot I've ever gotten (once I get it, that is), so I can't help you on that one, Supersonic. Sorry.

Supersonic, I would skip Suffocation and get the other shoot you want. Unless you are completing a ROH DVD collection, Suffocation doesn't need to be bought. It's an average show and the crowd is dead silent for 80% of it.

Speaking of Dethroned, what a lame title for a show. Just completely give a result away. I know some people would say that Ring of Homicide was a give-away as well, but at least that didn't give the complete result away. Confused? Well, what if Cide had just shown up and wrecked havoc on everyone like Stone Cold Steve Austin? He would be on neither side except his own... the Ring of Homicide.

It's an average show and the crowd is dead silent for 80% of it. Well, I am interested in seeing Albright's debut, as well as a few of the matches (Sydal vs. Delirious, Jay vs. Davey, the main event.) Unfortunately, looks like I'll have to get the show for now since none of these matches will probably ever be released on compilations.

MGH, I've got a question:
Should ROH be afraid about the Dayton crowd for the Fifth Birthday Show?

I believe Gabe asked the fans (at the ROH message board) to name the show (this one and the one before it). So yeah, we get a show named after the biggest shopping day of the year, and a show that they may as well have named "SPOILERS: NEW TAG CHAMPZ!"

Some of them also moronically wanted to call the show "Retribution," when in fact, the April 26, 2003 event had that very name. My pick was "It All Begins Again" for the following reasons: - Davey's win over Aries - new tag champs - possible planted seeds of another Joe vs. Cide feud

MGH, I've got a question: Should ROH be afraid about the Dayton crowd for the Fifth Birthday Show? I'm not really sure. I don't keep track of the crowds show by show, but the crowd there for Suffocation really made me take notice. They were alright for the first bit, then someone pulled the plug on them and they died until late in the main event. In a way I don't blame them, I just checked ROH's DVD list and saw the last few events Dayton got. Tag Wars, Weekend of Champions Night 1, War of the Wire II, and Suffocation. IMO those were all average shows at best. Granted, I would be thrilled if they came to my town and put on a bad show just so I could go see it live, but I can understand why the people there might get a little tired of the mediocre shows given to them. That may not even be the case, but it's always a chance. But I'll be optimistic in this case. They are getting an absolutely huge show this time around. I think they'll be appreciative enough of it to get loud and wild. I hope so anyway.

Like the WrestleMania XX tag line? Then again, I probably would've called the show something like "Wrestlevania: Symphony of the Night."

I thought Tag Wars was awesome. Great opener, a fun followup, an OUTSTANDING Cornette promo, the beginning stages of ROH vs. CZW, a great finish to the trios series, an underrated Ki vs. Daniels match, and one of the best tag matches in company history main evented the show.
I can't speak for the others since I haven't watched them yet, but I would assume that War of the Wire II was pretty damn good, at least in the second half. Strong & Evans vs. Briscoes, a fourway featuring four of the most over guys in the company, Daniels vs. Sydal, plus the barb wire main event featuring a guy who should win this year's Mr. Insanity award, as well as a guy who is the best in that genre of matches since Mick Foley.

I'm a huge dork, and I've said before that one thing I love about ROH shows are the names of some of them. It isn't anything important, but a perfect name can top off a great show. Redemption, Hell Freezes Over, Fight Of The Century, No Where To Run. Stuff like that is cool to me.

Meh, I didn't think any of the 4 were anything I'd ever watch again.

But this is coming from the person who would have renamed Final Battle 06 "Slaying Of The Dragon" or "The End Of The Road" ;D
