Chris Hero: Ring of Hero

*Just a quick note, several of these ROH DVD Compilations have highlights of particular matches. Since they are merely highlights, and not the actual full match, I will avoid rating those in my reviews.

This is a pretty good highlight of Chris Hero's ROH Career. You get a good deal of great matches an highlights from all of these periods, from the CZW Invasion, to the initial Kings Of Wrestling run, to Hero's time as a member of Sweet 'n' Sour Inc., to his Evolution into That Young Knockout Kid. While their are some matches that are just ok, there is a lot of good stuff here as well. Several Matches that are must see if you don't have the show already. A pretty good compilation.
