ROH: Gold

About This Movie

So, ROH: Gold is really more of a wrestling event than a traditional film, but it's got a certain charm that captures a moment in time for wrestling fans. It's filled with a mix of high-energy matches and that gritty, grassroots feel that you often find in independent wrestling. The atmosphere in Dayton really stands out, with a crowd that’s genuinely passionate about what they’re witnessing. It’s the 50th show for ROH, which gives it a sense of occasion – there's something special about marking that milestone. The pacing is tight; every match feels like it matters. It might not have the polished production of larger promotions, but that raw energy is what makes it distinctive, really encapsulating what ROH is all about.

This event, while not a typical film, holds a unique place in wrestling history due to its significance as ROH's 50th show. It was initially released on DVD, but finding a copy these days can be a challenge. Collectors appreciate it for its nostalgic value and the glimpse it provides into the early days of ROH, a promotion that has had a lasting influence on wrestling. Interest among collectors remains steady, especially for those who cherish indie wrestling's grassroots beginnings.
