THE FOLLOWING INTERACTIVE DVD/VHS REVIEW IS OPINIONATED AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS FACT.
I AM NOT CONSIDERED A PROFESSIONAL WRITER, NOR WOULD I EVER CONSIDER MYSELF ONE SO THE WRITING TECHNIQUE IS ONE AS IF I WERE TALKING TO EVERYONE ON THE AIR DURING THE WEEKLY SUNSET FLIP WRESTLING SHOW.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOUT ANYONE, I RESPECT PRO WRESTLERS AS A WHOLE FOR PUTTING THEIR BODIES ON THE LINE FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REPLY. HATEFUL RESPONSES SUCH AS "fuck YOU TRISH STRATUS IS THE BEST" ARE NOT WELCOME AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Hi everyone,
It's time for another Interactive DVD/VHS Review, done exclusively on the Sunset Flip Wrestling Show myspace (www.myspace.com/sunsetflipshow) and the NYWC board. Twice a week I write about a DVD that I have from either WWE, TNA, ROH. I received a big lot of DVD's about a year ago so it's time to put them to good use.

Jimmy Rave vs Dixie
Plus the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley
Right off the bat, I feel Ring of Honor DVDs will be the toughest to do. Now before any ROH hardcore fans reply "Because Ring of Honor is so good it's hard to think of anything negative about their events", I would like to state that is not the reason. The reason is because I can end this review right now without watching the DVD and say "If you're looking for good matches watch this DVD" because i can say that for everyone ROH show. ROH is a company that consistantly has great matches but I never got into their storylines (and question if they even have any) because they are not complex enough. But most ROH DVD's I will watch for the first time so my opinion could very well change upon each DVD.
Jimmy Rave vs Dixie
I just saw Becky Bayless and already I'm excited. For those that don't listen to the show, I have a public crush on Becky Bayless and have written her poems while I was drunk on her myspace page. Quite frankly I'm surprised she's still a "friend" of the Sunset Flip Wrestling Show myspace page because if it were me I would think I was a stalker. And during the show I usually play The Carpenter's "Close To You". Why do birds suddenly appear, every time, you are near. Just like me, they wish to be........ oh right, the review.
Decent opener. Rave finishes it with the Styles clash only they are calling it the "Rave Clash". How clever.
Post match, I can barely understand anyone on the mic because the sound is terrible. But I did the get the important thing. The Embassy claims that Mick Foley is the newest member but Foley doesn't come out.
Samoa Joe gives then gives a history lesson about his past in Glory by Honor. Bascially he says this is his event as he had quite a few moments at Glory by Honor. He then talks to Jay Lethal and now it looks like this is in my home ktichen. Ewww, and there's spit on the camera. I'm guessing it's from Joe.
Jay Lethal vs Matt Stryker (not everyone's favorite teacher)
Jay Lethal gets the win and it seemed really short but maybe that's me. Fan are doing the "Na na na Goodbye" chant and I'm confused. No one told me on the DVD that it was a retirement match.
Stryker gets the mic and he may as well have golf balls in his mouth cause I can't understand most of what he is saying. I did get "new Jersey kiss my ass".
Six Man Mayhem
Great match. I love spotty matches. I also love matches with lots of flips.
Austin Aries vs CM Punk
punk beats Aries. Alex Shelly interferes but then Steve Corino runs out. I have to be honest, I'm amazed how excited the fans and announcers are about Corino because when they said Corino is here I was just like "oh okay". I thought it was a boring match but that could just be me.
Homicide comes out and reminds us the last time he was in the ring was with him. I'm glad Homicide is running down Corino and the fans cause I agree I don't get what's so special about Corino. Go Homicide just like GO LAKERS! Homicide leaves mad. Could have been better in my opinion.
Slash Venom & Chicano vs Dan Maff & BJ Whitmer
Some bitch (i say bitch because she was really annoying) started blabbing and again, because of the terrible sound I have no idea what it was about. I am not going to go back and listen to it because I feel people should make sure it's clear to begin with. I don't buy DVD's to try to translate stuff.
Anyways, they remind me Mick Foley is here.
A good beatdown and at least the announcers told me the name of the girl was Allison Danger.
Maff and whitmer are about to beat Allison Danger but Mick Foley finally comes out. I was looking for a good beating on Allison, so Foley comes out to ruin that. Foley does the cheap pop and delivers his terrible jokes and stupid fans actually buy it. Foley wants Allison out of the ring. If that's the case he should have let Maff and Whitmer clothesline her or something. I thought he was out there to save her. The Embassy comes out. Then we have a 7 on 1 beating on Foley which I enjoyed. Maff and Whitmer save Foley which just confuses me more cause Foley just ran them out of the ring when he came out.
To be fair the promo he did got much better and really put over ring of Honor. If the goal is to put over ROH (which i would think it was) by the end of the promo, the job was done. Just a shaky start in my opinion.
John Walters interview and i'm guessing nobody washes cameras cause the smudge/spit is still on the camera since they interviewed Samoa Joe earlier
Alex Shelly vs Bryan Danielson
Decent match
ROH Pure Title
John Walters vs Nigel McGuiness
Honestly, it couldn't have been too entertaining for me because I choose to watch the trailer for the upcoming XBox 360 game Rock Band Beatles. I love the song "I am the Walrus". I may get the game just for that song.

ROH World Title Match
Samoa Joe vs Doug Williams
Good match. I enjoyed it. Don't have much more to say other than that.
Ultimate Endurance Match
Pretty good match. Craziness all around. Great.... Allison is back. Thanks to the bad mic system, I still don't know what she's saying. Foley brings out the fire extinguisher and sprays everyone.
In conclusion, it was good. If you're looking for good matches watch this DVD. The end.......... just kidding. Some matches I felt were slower than others. Some great tag action. I'm curious as to why the World title match was not the final match. A great appearance by Foley, which started off shaky but really put over the ROH product. There was nothing terrible except the sound system, but I don't think that's anything new with ROH. They're not a billion dollar company like WWE so I don't expect to have great quality but to the point where I can at least understand what they say would be helpful.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to reply.
