ROH: Fight of The Century

About This Movie

So, Fight of the Century is really an interesting piece of wrestling history. Held in 2006, it’s not just about the matches but the atmosphere in that small venue in New Jersey is palpable. You've got Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson in the main event, and the intensity, the pacing—it's all very raw and authentic. They deliver performances that feel like a physical manifestation of their rivalry. There’s this sense of urgency and extreme dedication that makes everything feel like it’s on the line. It’s got practical effects in the sense of real, visceral wrestling rather than over-the-top theatrics, which makes it stand out.

Fight of the Century has seen various releases over the years, but its early DVD copies are particularly sought after among collectors. The event's significance in the evolution of independent wrestling adds to its appeal, along with the limited availability of certain prints. Many collectors appreciate the raw, unrefined energy of the show, which reflects a pivotal moment in Ring of Honor's history.
