There's an awesome youtube clip of Taue hitting the most atrocious kick on Takayama. Yet, strangely, you still get the sense that Takayama didn't sell it because he had to... but rather because Taue literally could knock you out with a miss.
By swashbuckling I hope you mean ambiguously gay and wearing eyeliner.
If someone bought me a Chikara DVD for Christmas I'd punch them in the babymaker.
The highlight of Claudio's 2008. Swiss & Sour could have actually worked but I'll wait & see since almost everything else Quack has done in Chikara has worked this year.
Oh, and definitely CZW over IWA:MS. Occasionally you can actually find a good match in CZW despite the horrid booking.
Yeah, I'm curious to know how the fued will work considering Sweeney is back with the Fab 2. Claudio's going to need some partners in the long run, just idk who will team with him. KOT will certainly be the time and place for that.
I could see an eventual Claudio/Kingston pairing, for whatever reason. If that's the plan I know Quack couldn't help but fit some hints into the match they worked against each other that ju8st came out, so I'm anxious to watch tha5t one.
If someone could upload Strong/Richards from BOTB, I'd be eternally grateful. I'm dying to see the "new" Richards, and his match against Strong is getting rave reviews everywhere.
Joe/Jay Briscoe-**** (What a crimson mask)
Cabana/Homicide-***3/4
ROH/CZW 6 Man-****1/4
Punk/Rave-***1/2
Embassy/Generation Next-****1/2-****3/4 (Jack Evans is insane)
Prophecy/Second City Saints-****1/2
Bricoes/Steen & Generico-****1/2
Jacobs/Cabana-****-****1/4
Insanely awesome set of matches, not a single match on the whole set that I wouldn't say was great. Definitely better than the Best In The World comp but they're 2 completely different animals as well. (Technical wrestling vs brawls pretty much)
As far as actual match quality goes this has to be one of the most thoroughly great DVD's I've ever seen, just tremendous.
I was never able to get into the ROH vs. CZW matches. I enjoyed the matches but I really didn't see anything all that special about them. I wasn't even that big a fan of Cage of Death.
I actually don't mind the Japanese commentary, especially during the hotest parts of a match when the commentator shows some passion that I think adds to the match.
For example, I loved at the end of Morishima/Misawa, the end of the match wouldn't have the same impact in my mind if it was for the commentator yelling "BAAACKAADROOOPPPPUUUUUUUU~!!!!!!"
I never saw Black/Joe really being that strong of a match anyways just for the sole fact of seeing Joe return was worth it enough. I expected Joe to come out, do his usual stuff with Black putting up a good fight and then it's over. That's what it was and I was entertained.
