The lack of Dunn and Marocs.

The only two RoH DVD's I own are 2 of the 4 you just got: Driven and Man Up. They both rule, you'll love it, and your other two events rule too. Good choices!

They were such awesome jobbers. What in the hell happened to them?

I've watched most of Driven, and it's one hell of a show, but they should've booked Sugarfoot vs. Boddy Dempsey in the mainevent instead of Dragon vs. Nigel. I mean seriously who wants to see that?

Today's Newswire Update:
Added to 6th Anniversary on 2/23 is Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong vs. Necro Butcher in a 3-way 1 fall No DQ match for the FIP Heavyweight Title. Either Stevens or Strong will be Champion going in as they will face off for the title on the 2/16 FIP event.

Tyler Black wrote in his blog at www.AgeOfTheFall.com that Joey Matthews will return to ROH on 2/22 in Long Island and 2/23 in Manhattan. Matthews will face Kevin Steen on 2/23.

The Buy 3 Get 1 Free ROH DVD Sale goes through tomorrow morning.

Steen has made a wild guarantee: Steen called the staff here at ROHwrestling.com and demanded that we put the following comment online:
"I guarantee there will be some gold around Kevin Steen's fantastic waist in 2008" Steen said. "I don't care if it's the tag titles with Generico, the ROH World Title or the FIP title but I'm getting a new belt to keep my pants up and it's going to be a big heavy shiny one! Hell, I want an ROH recognized title this year so bad, I'd even get a sex change and go after the damn Shimmer belt if I could go through the operation without having to take time off away from the ring! This is how much it means to me! In 2008, Kevin Steen is going to win his first ROH recognized title and that's just the way it is!"

The next Video Wire will be up today or tomorrow.

Hell, I want an ROH recognized title this year so bad, I'd even get a sex change and go after the damn Shimmer belt if I could go through the operation without having to take time off away from the ring!

Kevin Steen would be a beautiful woman.

thinking of getting the "blood stained honour" dvd?

the matches on it any good?

also the Stars of Honour dvd contains matches containg the no limits wrestling of ROH you all of love so much and wrestlers i've actually heard of so i'm considering getting that too.

advice?

I'd say skip the Stars of Honor DVD. Nothing really exciting to be honest. DEFINITELY pick up Blood Stained Honor though. Tons of good matches. And as mentioned in the Newswire, they're up for preorder at Amazon.

Summoner I think Region 1 means that they'll play anywhere. Aren't the regular ROH DVDs Region 1? They work internationally.

cheers, i figured the BSH would be good as it had the ROH VS CZW fued which looked cool.

No, they're Region 0 which is the same as if it had "ALL" in the region area on the disc. Region 1 is US & Canada (NTSC) only. (Region 2 is for Japan, Region 3 is Europe, Regions 4-8 are other parts of Europe & Asia)

Ah, sorry then Rohypnol, looks like you won't be able to get it. Thanks for the info though, Summoner, I didn't really know any of that.

No problem.

According to a post on the ROH boards, ROH took a few runner-up awards in the annual PWI Achievement Awards (these are voted on by PWI readers/fans):
Pelle Primeau: 2nd runner-up, Rookie Of The Year (which became disgraced this year...Hornswoggle won. Primeau was the meat in a DiBiase sandwich-Ted Jr. was 1st runner-up, Mike 3rd)

Nigel McGuinness vs. Takeshi Morishima from Undeniable: 3rd runner-up, Match Of The Year (Cena-HBK from 4/23 Raw was winner)

The Briscoes: 2nd runner-up, Tag Team Of The Year (Team 3D won)

Today's Newswire Update:
BREAKING NEWS: Chris Hero is now off ALL upcoming shows. Larry Sweeney says he will hold Hero out of ROH until ROH officials recognize the Intergender Tag Team Titles. Sweeney has already negotiated to send Hero overseas to Japan and Europe. Sweeney has also jacked up the price on Daniel Puder to where he is out of ROH's league. Sweeney is really putting the pressure on ROH officials. More next week.

Ruckus is now out of the hospital. He says he'll be ready for 2/22 & 2/23. Mercedes Martinez also has been added to both events.

Austin Aries has made it clear that he is a very frustrated individual. It is obvious he is disenfranchised with the system. The Age Of The Fall are now trying to recruit him. In an odd twist, a big match has just been signed for 2/22 in Deer Park on Long Island. Aries will face Joey Matthews.

SHIMMER has just released its two latest DVDs at ROHwrestling.com. That's right, one isn't enough for SHIMMER fans and you can now double your pleasure with Vol. 13 & 14. Check out SHIMMER Vol. 13 to see the red hot duo of Lacey & Rain vs. Sara Del Rey & Nikki Roxx, Allison Danger vs. Cindy Rogers in a brutal Dog Collar Match, Sarah Stock vs. Daizee Haze, Cheerleader Melissa vs. Ariel, MsChif vs. Portia Perez and more!!! Things heat up with Vol. 14 as SHIMMER heads to Florida. See Sara Del Rey defend the SHIMMER Title vs. Lacey in a classic, Amazing Kong vs. Nikki Roxx, Daizee Haze vs. MsChif, Cheerleader Melissa vs. Rain, Allison Danger vs. Cindy Rogers 2/3 Falls and more.
