General ROH Info
Ring of Honor is an independent professional wrestling promotion created in 2002 that is owned by Cary Silkin and booked by Gabe Sapolsky. Started with shows in the northeast area gaining a cult like following in Philadelphia, New York and Chicago and has recently expanded the fanbase to around the country. They hold shows two to three times each month with the DVD's being released a couple months prior to the date of the show, you can purchase all of the ROH Merchandise from ROHwrestling.com. ROH has a newswire and ROH Video wire that keeps fans around the country updated on future shows and late breaking news as well. What separates ROH from any other indy promotion is the work rate of the wrestlers it's hard to look at Ring of Honor as just another independent promotion. ROHvideos.com is another great source, to keep a viewer in tune with current happenings, if you don’t purchase the dvd’s. The best affordable way to keep up with ROH is to subscribe to their videos on youtube. Their ID is RingofHonor
There shows are PPV caliber every time. They put on about 20-30 shows per year. There has been some confusion over what is the one great annual show. Some say
Final Battle: The year end bash, that has brought some true classics. Generally it contains a few Japanese based stars as well.
Anniversary show. This year, they did multiple dates, and turned it into a festival of sorts. The fifth year festival just pasted, and featured some of ROH's best matches so far this year
Glory by Honor Another big show ROH does annually. Sometimes this spans 2 days.
Supercard of Honor They hold this show Wrestlemania weekend. One of my personal favs although its only 2 years old.
Death before Dishonor Another show that started from the beginning of ROH.
Survival of the Fittest Similar to King of the Ring, Basically they start with 12 guys in qualify matches, and the winners go onto a elimination style match. Winner is crowned the winner for that year.
Several greats of the wwe and tna were made into stars in ROH. They are responsible for most of TNA's roster including Somoa Joe, AJ Styles, Chrisopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Homicide, Alex Shelly, Chris Sabin, Senshi and more. The WWE has also gotten a few ROH Stars: CM Punk, Colt Cobana, Jimmy Wang, and Jamie Noble. These guys were ROH legends and now that ROH is growing into PPV, it makes many ROH fans wonder, who's the next to return? Rumors are floating around that Homicide may be the next one back. Meanwhile Joe is holding off on signing his TNA contract. Even without the ROH legends, it still has a very impressive roster.

By all means if you like these, check out ROH's First PPV too, Its in the media section, and on Daily Motion, if you search Respect is Earned. Then after that, buy the dvds because thats the only way ROH makes money. Its well worth it though. You can get two ROH dvds for the price of 1 wwe ppv.

ROH History
ROH's history can be divided into chapter points. This is especially important for new fans. Obviously, the ROH DVDs are meant to be watched as a video series. However, with so many shows we understand that a new fan might have trouble starting with "The Era Of Honor Begins" and catching up. Therefore, if you are new to ROH and want to dive into the DVD series we suggest you begin with one of the chapter starting points. The chapters all have a different tone and tell a different story. Each one might appeal to different types of wrestling fans. To get the most out of the ROH experience we recommend you start your viewing at a chapter point and try to follow the series in order.
Here is quick overview of each chapter:
Chapter 1: 2/23/02 "Era Of Honor Begins" to 2/8/03 "First Anniversary Show"
ROH brings cutting edge wrestling to the forefront in its premier year led by first Champion Low Ki and stars like Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Paul London, AJ Styles, Homicide and many others. The ROH style is defined with matches like Ki vs. Joe (Glory By Honor) and Ki vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Doug Williams vs. Spanky (Crowning A Champion). Stellar events like "Road To The Title" and "All Star Extravaganza" see ROH raise the bar on wrestling quality. This chapter ends in controversy with the infamous riot at the "First Anniversary Show" that is still asked about regularly today. This is where ROH made an immediate reputation and is at its rawest.
Chapter 2: 3/15/03 "Expect The Unexpected" to 3/12/04 "At Our Best"
Samoa Joe wins the ROH Title and makes it into a World Title. Joe leads the charge as ROH continues to evolve its style and production. The epic and bloody CM Punk vs. Raven and Homicide vs. Steve Corino feuds change the tone of ROH. Shows like "Death Before Dishonor" and "Main Event Spectacles" are considered classics.
Chapter 3: 4/23/04 "Reborn: Stage One" to 12/26/04 "Final Battle 2004"
ROH enters a new era as the product evolves to new levels with Samoa Joe as champion. Joe vs. Punk produces three must see classics at "World Title Classic," "Joe vs. Punk II" and the essential "All Star Extravaganza II" event that saw the first ever altercation between Jim Cornette and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Shows like "Reborn: Completion" and "Generation Next" change ROH forever. From Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat to Jushin Liger to a first time gathering of all four members of The Midnight Express, the hall of famers come to the forefront in this chapter.
Chapter 4: 1/15/05 "It All Begins" to 6/12/05 "The Future Is Now"
Austin Aries leads the charge as new World Champion in taking on a superhuman schedule. ROH presents three shows to celebrate its Third Anniversary that are all considered must own events. Mick Foley makes an impact in his feud vs. Samoa Joe while James Gibson starts his ROH run.
Chapter 5: 6/18/05 "Death Before Dishonor III" to 8/12/05 "Redemption"
Fans have dubbed this six show chapter "The Summer Of Punk" for the unpredictable and wild World Title reign of CM Punk. Fans were truly shocked at the happenings of "Death Before Dishonor III" when Punk faced Austin Aries. This was one of the matches and moments that will always be remembered in wrestling history. See the entire roster including James Gibson, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and Mick Foley chase Punk.
Chapter 6: 8/13/05 "Punk: The Final Chapter" to 2/11/06 "Unscripted II"
The emotional farewell to CM Punk opened the door for Bryan Danielson to start his 15 month reign as ROH World Champion. Some of the greatest matches in ROH history takes place as Low Ki battles KENTA at "Final Battle 2005" and Bryan Danielson begins his feud against Roderick Strong at "This Means War" and "Vendetta." Punk returns for one last surprise visit to close out this chapter. This period will always be remember for Kenta Kobashi in ROH as he gives the ROH fans two epic matches at "Joe vs. Kobashi" and "Unforgettable."
Chapter 7: 2/25/06 "Fourth Anniversary Show" to 4/22/06 "The 100th Show"
This seven show chapter is known as "The Milestone Series" as every show saw ROH reach a new milestone. See the much talked about ROH vs. CZW feud rage out of control in some of the wildest brawls in ROH history including at "The 100th Show." Plus, Bryan Danielson's legend grows and the stars of Dragon Gate produce a match of the year and several other great matches during ROH's first ever triple shot. If you are looking to get one chapter all at once, this is it.
Chapter 8: 4/28/06 "Weekend Of Champions: Night One" to 12/23/06 "Final Battle 2006"
Bryan Danielson puts on one classic after another in winning Most Outstanding Wrestling Of The Year in The Wrestling Observer year end poll. The CZW vs. ROH feud reaches legendary status with Cage Of Death at "Death Before Dishonor IV." Just when we thought things couldn't get more insane BJ Whitmer battles Necro Butcher in a sadistic No Rope Barbed Wire Match at "War Of The Wire II." Austin Aries & Roderick Strong bring tag team wrestling back to the forefront as their nine month ROH World Tag Team Title reign kicks into high gear with several state-of-the-art contest vs. The Briscoes and many other teams.
Chapter 9: 1/26/07 "Dedicated" to 4/28/07 "Good Times, Great Memories"
ROH begins the year with a series of surprising announcements and events. The highlights come through the entire six show "Fifth Year Festival" that sees ROH celebrate its fifth birthday with one stellar event after another. The chapter ends as ROH says goodbye to some of its old stars, welcomes in fresh talent and goes into the PPV era.
Chapter 10: 5/11/07 "Reborn Again" to ???
This is the current chapter. There is no telling when it will end.
Ring of Honor is an independent professional wrestling promotion created in 2002 that is owned by Cary Silkin and booked by Gabe Sapolsky. Started with shows in the northeast area gaining a cult like following in Philadelphia, New York and Chicago and has recently expanded the fanbase to around the country. They hold shows two to three times each month with the DVD's being released a couple months prior to the date of the show, you can purchase all of the ROH Merchandise from ROHwrestling.com. ROH has a newswire and ROH Video wire that keeps fans around the country updated on future shows and late breaking news as well. What separates ROH from any other indy promotion is the work rate of the wrestlers it's hard to look at Ring of Honor as just another independent promotion. ROHvideos.com is another great source, to keep a viewer in tune with current happenings, if you don’t purchase the dvd’s. The best affordable way to keep up with ROH is to subscribe to their videos on youtube. Their ID is RingofHonor
There shows are PPV caliber every time. They put on about 20-30 shows per year. There has been some confusion over what is the one great annual show. Some say
Final Battle: The year end bash, that has brought some true classics. Generally it contains a few Japanese based stars as well.
Anniversary show. This year, they did multiple dates, and turned it into a festival of sorts. The fifth year festival just pasted, and featured some of ROH's best matches so far this year
Glory by Honor Another big show ROH does annually. Sometimes this spans 2 days.
Supercard of Honor They hold this show Wrestlemania weekend. One of my personal favs although its only 2 years old.
Death before Dishonor Another show that started from the beginning of ROH.
Survival of the Fittest Similar to King of the Ring, Basically they start with 12 guys in qualify matches, and the winners go onto a elimination style match. Winner is crowned the winner for that year.
Several greats of the wwe and tna were made into stars in ROH. They are responsible for most of TNA's roster including Somoa Joe, AJ Styles, Chrisopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Homicide, Alex Shelly, Chris Sabin, Senshi and more. The WWE has also gotten a few ROH Stars: CM Punk, Colt Cobana, Jimmy Wang, and Jamie Noble. These guys were ROH legends and now that ROH is growing into PPV, it makes many ROH fans wonder, who's the next to return? Rumors are floating around that Homicide may be the next one back. Meanwhile Joe is holding off on signing his TNA contract. Even without the ROH legends, it still has a very impressive roster.

ROH History
ROH's history can be divided into chapter points. This is especially important for new fans. Obviously, the ROH DVDs are meant to be watched as a video series. However, with so many shows we understand that a new fan might have trouble starting with "The Era Of Honor Begins" and catching up. Therefore, if you are new to ROH and want to dive into the DVD series we suggest you begin with one of the chapter starting points. The chapters all have a different tone and tell a different story. Each one might appeal to different types of wrestling fans. To get the most out of the ROH experience we recommend you start your viewing at a chapter point and try to follow the series in order.
Here is quick overview of each chapter:
Chapter 1: 2/23/02 "Era Of Honor Begins" to 2/8/03 "First Anniversary Show"
ROH brings cutting edge wrestling to the forefront in its premier year led by first Champion Low Ki and stars like Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Paul London, AJ Styles, Homicide and many others. The ROH style is defined with matches like Ki vs. Joe (Glory By Honor) and Ki vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Doug Williams vs. Spanky (Crowning A Champion). Stellar events like "Road To The Title" and "All Star Extravaganza" see ROH raise the bar on wrestling quality. This chapter ends in controversy with the infamous riot at the "First Anniversary Show" that is still asked about regularly today. This is where ROH made an immediate reputation and is at its rawest.
Chapter 2: 3/15/03 "Expect The Unexpected" to 3/12/04 "At Our Best"
Samoa Joe wins the ROH Title and makes it into a World Title. Joe leads the charge as ROH continues to evolve its style and production. The epic and bloody CM Punk vs. Raven and Homicide vs. Steve Corino feuds change the tone of ROH. Shows like "Death Before Dishonor" and "Main Event Spectacles" are considered classics.
Chapter 3: 4/23/04 "Reborn: Stage One" to 12/26/04 "Final Battle 2004"
ROH enters a new era as the product evolves to new levels with Samoa Joe as champion. Joe vs. Punk produces three must see classics at "World Title Classic," "Joe vs. Punk II" and the essential "All Star Extravaganza II" event that saw the first ever altercation between Jim Cornette and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Shows like "Reborn: Completion" and "Generation Next" change ROH forever. From Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat to Jushin Liger to a first time gathering of all four members of The Midnight Express, the hall of famers come to the forefront in this chapter.
Chapter 4: 1/15/05 "It All Begins" to 6/12/05 "The Future Is Now"
Austin Aries leads the charge as new World Champion in taking on a superhuman schedule. ROH presents three shows to celebrate its Third Anniversary that are all considered must own events. Mick Foley makes an impact in his feud vs. Samoa Joe while James Gibson starts his ROH run.
Chapter 5: 6/18/05 "Death Before Dishonor III" to 8/12/05 "Redemption"
Fans have dubbed this six show chapter "The Summer Of Punk" for the unpredictable and wild World Title reign of CM Punk. Fans were truly shocked at the happenings of "Death Before Dishonor III" when Punk faced Austin Aries. This was one of the matches and moments that will always be remembered in wrestling history. See the entire roster including James Gibson, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and Mick Foley chase Punk.
Chapter 6: 8/13/05 "Punk: The Final Chapter" to 2/11/06 "Unscripted II"
The emotional farewell to CM Punk opened the door for Bryan Danielson to start his 15 month reign as ROH World Champion. Some of the greatest matches in ROH history takes place as Low Ki battles KENTA at "Final Battle 2005" and Bryan Danielson begins his feud against Roderick Strong at "This Means War" and "Vendetta." Punk returns for one last surprise visit to close out this chapter. This period will always be remember for Kenta Kobashi in ROH as he gives the ROH fans two epic matches at "Joe vs. Kobashi" and "Unforgettable."
Chapter 7: 2/25/06 "Fourth Anniversary Show" to 4/22/06 "The 100th Show"
This seven show chapter is known as "The Milestone Series" as every show saw ROH reach a new milestone. See the much talked about ROH vs. CZW feud rage out of control in some of the wildest brawls in ROH history including at "The 100th Show." Plus, Bryan Danielson's legend grows and the stars of Dragon Gate produce a match of the year and several other great matches during ROH's first ever triple shot. If you are looking to get one chapter all at once, this is it.
Chapter 8: 4/28/06 "Weekend Of Champions: Night One" to 12/23/06 "Final Battle 2006"
Bryan Danielson puts on one classic after another in winning Most Outstanding Wrestling Of The Year in The Wrestling Observer year end poll. The CZW vs. ROH feud reaches legendary status with Cage Of Death at "Death Before Dishonor IV." Just when we thought things couldn't get more insane BJ Whitmer battles Necro Butcher in a sadistic No Rope Barbed Wire Match at "War Of The Wire II." Austin Aries & Roderick Strong bring tag team wrestling back to the forefront as their nine month ROH World Tag Team Title reign kicks into high gear with several state-of-the-art contest vs. The Briscoes and many other teams.
Chapter 9: 1/26/07 "Dedicated" to 4/28/07 "Good Times, Great Memories"
ROH begins the year with a series of surprising announcements and events. The highlights come through the entire six show "Fifth Year Festival" that sees ROH celebrate its fifth birthday with one stellar event after another. The chapter ends as ROH says goodbye to some of its old stars, welcomes in fresh talent and goes into the PPV era.
Chapter 10: 5/11/07 "Reborn Again" to ???
This is the current chapter. There is no telling when it will end.
