At this point, they are ridiculously beyond the $10 price tag of this PPV in terms of quality...
ROH went into an awesome video feature on the recent Ring of Honor shows in Toko and Osaka, Japan with comments from ROH performers interspersed with the clips. An awesome feature that made the company look top notch and global. It's pretty interesting to follow the ROH storylines from both the usual show to show run and also how you can just watch them PPV to PPV without further knowledge, but still not be lost by the show.
From top to bottom, there is not one bad match on the entire PPV. Danielson vs. Nigel is as good as pro wrestling gets in today's generation. If you have given up on old school wrestling, believing that genre is dead forever, you might want to give this PPV an order. All you have to lose is $10 but I honestly believe you'll get ten times that amount in athletic wrestling action. Complete thumbs up. Order this show as soon as you can.
ROH "Driven" will debut on pay-per-view this Friday, September 21st, on The DISH Network and TVN cable systems. Check your local listings for channel and price. You will not get this much great, athletic wrestling for such an affordable price from any other form of combat on PPV. "Driven" will debut on iN DEMAND on September 28th.

Don't miss out. Watch the PPV everyone will be talking about when ROH "Driven" debuts this Friday on TVN cable systems and The DISH Network.
Recommendation: (10.0) I’ll have more thoughts on this show in the coming week. You must buy this PPV and watch it. If you’ve never given ROH a shot, they deserve your money for this show. It is the best PPV I’ve seen since “One Night Stand” in 2005. This was simply an amazing show from top to bottom. The McGuinness-Danielson matches is one of those matches I’ll go back and watch from time to time as the years go by, as it will never get old watching the masterpiece they put on in front of a rabid crowd in Philadelphia where ROH was born.
Come on guys. Buy the PPV.STAR RATING: (*****) – This was the best pro wrestling match I have seen since Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi, which took place in 2005. The atmosphere for this match was among the best I’ve ever seen for a pro wrestling match airing on PPV. The enthusiasm from the crowd was incredible and both McGuinness and Danielson went to a level they had never gone to before. The entire match felt like a fight from start to finish. At one point, the crowd chanted “this is wrestling.” I agree. This match is the standard for pro wrestling in 2007.

G-FUNK ANNOUNCES PREMIERE OF RING OF HONOR'S "DRIVEN"
Internationally Acclaimed Federation Boasts Match-Of-The Year Candidate On Second Televised Pay-Per-View Event, Sept. 21 & 28 Via Dish Network, iN DEMAND & TVN
Weston, CT—Ken Gelman of G-Funk Sports & Entertainment is proud to announce the Pay-Per-View and Video On Demand broadcast of "Driven," from the internationally acclaimed Ring Of Honor (ROH). Since the success of its debut TV event, "Respect Is Earned," taped May 12 in the Grand Ballroom of New York City's Manhattan Center, which played throughout the summer on EchoStar's DISH Network and on all iN DEMAND and TVN cable systems. ROH has been inundated with rave reviews from around the world for its brand of high-flying, hard-hitting intense competition that many are branding "Combat Art."
"Driven" will debut Sept. 21 on the Dish Network, TVN cable systems and Bell ExpressVu in Canada. September 28 is the launch on iN DEMAND and Canada's Viewer's Choice cable systems.
Taped in Chicago Ridge, Illinois and Philadelphia, PA, "Driven" succeeds in large part due to the inclusion of what many in the industry have already hailed as a contender for "Match Of The Year." Great Britain's Nigel McGuinness squares off against Bryan "The American Dragon" Danielson in an explosive exhibition of power and speed, with the match culminating in a spectacular climax that visibly shocks the sold-out crowd.
"I was there that night," says ROH owner Cary Silkin, "and I can honestly say that in all my years of watching wrestling, I have never, ever, seen a finish like that. Fans across the country are going to realize, when they watch `Driven,' that this particular brand of in-ring combat has no peer anywhere in the world."
Adds Gelman, "`Driven' is further proof that ROH is here to stay. Fans around the world are taking note of our brand of sport. We've capitalized upon the promise of `Respect Is Earned,' and now, with `Driven,' we've taken the art of combat to a whole new level."
"Driven" is part of a multi-show package available to approximately 60 million North American households via EchoStar Communications Corporation's DISH NetworkTM, iN DEMAND Networks and TVN in the U.S. as well as via Viewer's Choice, Bell ExpressVu and SaskTel in Canada. This series, which airs throughout 2007 and 2008 with a new show approximately every 60 days, marks the first time the critically acclaimed ROH brand is available on television.
Silkin and Gelman also announced the launch of a new affiliate website: www.ROHWrestlingAffiliates.com, which contains easy-to-implement marketing materials and all event information. Each show will also be supported by a range of targeted national consumer advertising and promotion which will be handled by G-Funk Sports and Entertainment.
ABOUT RING OF HONOR
A new entry into the American television audience, but long revered by a loyal underground fan base, the Philadelphia-based ROH—currently seen on Canadian, British and Japanese TV—appeals to the disenfranchised wrestling fan fed up with storylines which seem to take precedence over the kind of powerful ring competition that ROH specializes in. ROH, in fact, is seen to have the highest level of athleticism in its field today, which recently culminated in a sweep of the 2006 Wrestling Observer awards for "Most Outstanding Wrestler," "Best Brawler," "Best Major Wrestling Show" (ROH took four of its Top 10) and "Best Booker."

According to a media source out of Mexico, Judas Mesias (who recently debuted in TNA and worked a match taped for tonight’s iMPACT!) is suffering from sciatica and will be out several weeks to rest and will also need physical therapy.
It is unknown how this will affect TNA’s plans for him; however, if the report is accurate they could have to hold him out of the ring at Bound for Glory. Mesias is the current AAA Champion in Mexico.
