I want to see what all they hype is about, but I don't know anything about it...what titles are there? Who are some big names? Where can I watch it? and what makes it so great?

Titles are simply just the World Title and the World Tag Team Titles.
Takeshi Morishima is currently the World champion and his main challengers are former World champion Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuiness and KENTA. Those are the main ones for that belt.
In the Tag division the Briscoes are the champions in their 4th reign i think and main contenders are El Generico and Kevin Steen and now the Age Of The Fall.
Mainly it's all on DVDs, just depends on what country you live in, some channels show bits of it.
What makes it great, is just well, you have to see it. Then you'll see how great it is.

Well, start out with ROH's 2nd PPV called Driven. It premieres late this month on ppv. Their first ppv called Respect is Earned is now available on dvd at rohwrestling.com ROH dvd's are only available online at they're website. They're very reliable and fast so no worry there.
Takeshi Morishima is the ROH world champion
The Briscoe Brothers are the Tag champions.
Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, KENTA, Naomichi Marufuji, Jimmy Jacobs, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Jack Evans, Kevin Steen and El Generico are all currently big names in ROH.
They used to have Colt Cabana, Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley, Homicide, Low-Ki, Christopher Daniels, Lance Storm and CM Punk. Mitsuharu Misawa is wrestling in Oct. for ROH. Kenta Kobashi also wrestled 2 nights in ROH.
Some shows to get are:
Joe vs. Kobashi- Just for that match. 2005 MOTY
Supercard of Honor 1 and 2
Glory by Honor V Night 2 is a must.
Unified- for the incredible double main event.
Better Than Our Best
Death Before Dishonor IV- I love the entire show
Final Battle 2006 is fantastic
Manhattan Mayhem
Manhattan Mayhem 2 when it comes out.
Fifth Year Festival Liverpool and Finale
ROH is so good because every show has a must see match on it. They don't have rediculous storylines, they let the wrestlers go balls to the wall and have the best match they can. Trust me, buy some of the shows I wrote and you'll be hooked just like I am.

Yes, dvd's are the only way to watch it but now they just got ppv. They taped the 3rd ppv on 9/15 but I don't know when it'll air. Buy some of the dvd's in my other post. They're worth every penny. |

Yes, ROH is the best wrestling in the world today. You never feel like you're wasting time or you're being ripped off when you watch an ROH DVD. Hell, I just spent around 200 dollars on DVDs last week and I don't feel the least bit bad about it. I am so hooked that I own every show from the beginning till Respect is Earned.
It is seriously the best thing I've seen besides female body parts. Do yourself a favor and grab some DVD's. Dan Henderson's suggestions are right on, though I also highly recommend "Good Times, Great Memories" and "Punk: The Final Chapter."

It really isn't that good, but it's pretty well done. The events I've went to were cool.

It really isn't that good, but it's pretty well done. The events I've went to were cool. To say it isn't that good means there is seriously something preconceived that you don't like. I mean, the biggest set-back with ROH in my eyes is like MMA, they don't have guys who are clearly top guys, and others who are forever jobbers/mid-carders. Yes you'll get a guy like Delirious or even the Briscoes, who are good solo fliers but will never be in the running for a reign as the ROH World Champion. But with those three men, they each have credibility and aren't just in it to take the fall. ROH has way to many guys that they try and rep as the now, when the World title will be dominately defended by "Mamashima" or the Tag Titles seemingly always around the Briscoes waist. Other-wise I say ROH offers the best top to bottom wrestling cards on US soil. PWG and IWA offer good stuff to, but if we're putting ROH in the nationally televised categorey, you can't go wrong with what they offer as a whole. |

No, it's just that ROH has mimicked a lot of things from Japan that I have already seen in the past.

Also, ROH has a youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/ringofhonor) & it has video wires that show clips of matches, there are some superstar teasers, I belive their are a few full matches aswell. |

Pretty much every DVD is worth buying, so no need to wonder which ones to buy.

Maybe it's not entirely a bad thing, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's been done and I've seen it already, which is why ROH doesn't impress me to a large extent.
