As soon as I got home from work today, I ordered my copy.
Here is some more information about the set:
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”…

I finally got a chance to watch this and I just finished it yesterday.
If you don't already have this stuff on other ROH DVDs, then I highly recommend getting this set. Although I already knew how it transpired, the Summer of Punk from 2005 was sort of all new to me since my first time watching ROH was not until 2007 when Ring of Honor came here to Las Vegas for Survival of the Fittest.
Now the next recent ROH DVD set I am currently working on watching is the Samoa Joe vs CM Punk trilogy, I started it yesterday after I finished Summer of Punk.
