- Ring of Honor has released a two DVD Summer of Punk set, here is the listing…
Controversial, out-spoken, brash…those are just three words that describe the man known worldwide as CM Punk, and during his tenure in Ring of Honor, he more than lived up to those labels. He also established himself as one of the finest professional wrestlers in the world today with historic bouts against the likes of Samoa Joe, Homicide, Bryan Danielson, & Christopher Daniels, and will forever be considered a legend in ROH.
But for three months in the summer of 2005, Punk shocked Ring of Honor fans & officials alike and it all began one night in June when ROH gathered to bid farewell to one of their own as Punk challenged for the ROH World Title one final time. What happened that evening kicked off three months of chaos as Punk took the World Title hostage and left ROH scrambling to find the man he would dethrone him. Be it Roderick Strong, Samoa Joe, or Christopher Daniels, they each faced off with Punk in hopes of reclaiming the title for Ring of Honor. They were three of the most exciting, unpredictable, chaotic months in ROH's history, and they have since come to be known as "The Summer of Punk"…

if its somehow remastered, I would be happy to perchase again. probably every ROH fans have those DVDS and some of them can be found at your local used DVD store under 5 bucks.

Missing matches 5-7
I have a few ROH best of sets and they don't include ring entrances or promos. The news said this contains a few key promos, so I need more information. Sounds like a good buy.
It would be a definite purchase if they included a bonus Joe vs Punk trilogy dvd, but that's probably asking too much.

It'll be worth a spot on my dvd case when the price comes down in a bit !

the promo he cuts after he wins the ROH title is amazing.

Okay, this set only contains seven matches. It's just a typo on ROH's site.

Nice of a stagnant company to make money off one of the last stars they made.
Buy this DVD and YOU can help pay for the ROH School!

Sinclair Broadcast Group could make this a big seller if they promote it enough on their networks.

Didn't someone who used to do ROH DVD reviews on this site call this the "Pepsi Challenge"? Really good stuff.

I'm skeptical that this would be a truly "complete" set solely based on the fact that they might edit out entrances and the like due to music copyrights. It's a small detail, but Punk's entrance on that last match was classic and if that's missing, it would feel empty almost.
