I've watched those matches and I wouldn't recommend them to most on here because well they are slower matches, but man oh man they will rock your socks.
I need to finish watching the Destroyer/Rikidozan match I have though but my laptop has been shit for months.
I saw it about 3 years ago and loved it. I should probably watch that and Baba/Destroyer on the same day. That much awesome may cause me to die, though.
Make no mistake, I'd never defend those shows, I was just saying that not every thing they churned out post-GBH was utter shit. Almost everything. Final Battle is must own imo.
IVP has always come through fine for me. 2-3 weeks usually, never over a month thus far.
I had some issues once when my order basically got overlooked because of some confusion when they stopped doing the custom covers, but that was about it.
I once ordered a few discs of his Best of M-Pro series and then realised he was selling the entire thing on sale. I mentioned it in a thread on DVDVR and he PMd me, sorted it out, and sent me the whole 12 disc set in 8 days. Not only was it an awesome deal in an awesome amount of time, but the set is one of the greatest pieces of wrestling footage I've ever bought.
I mean I dont own that much 2006 yet I got Unified,GBH V Night 2,Best in the World,Generation Now,WOC Night 2,Better than our Best and just ordered Dragon Gate Challenge and Anarchy in the UK I have hear mixed reactions for that show but looks like some good matches.
I liked Anarchy in the UK a lot. Go brings Whitmer to maybe his 2nd best ROH match ever and thats just the opener. SUWA/Danielson is fun as hell (but SUWA always owns).
I have that best of M-Pro set myself and it is largely unwatched. I need to find where I packed it up.
I have Final Battle 2006 as well love that show just not really a bad match got to finish FYF:NYC at the Tables are Legal Match and then Caged Rage heard mixed reviews on both shows but interested in seeing them.
Yeah, I was generalizing but i'll agree with what your getting at. The only thing i'd say worth getting past GBH V night 2 in 2006 was Final Battle though. I don't know if I could even give away Black Friday Fallout.
I HATE that Whitmer/Albright tables match, it sucks so bad its just 4 big spots and a bunch of bullshit.
Most of them are yes, a bunch of one-match shows. I hated Dethroned but some people seemed to really like it. I don't have Suffocation, The Bitter End or the Dragon Gate one right before FB but I wouldn't even get close to recommending anything else except maybe Chicago Spec Night 2 but I wouldn't say you need to see it.
It is a lot better than most Whitmer singles matches, easily. The only better Whitmer singles matches I can think of were all at the expence of Jimmy Jacobs.
I actually bought Chicago Spec Night 2 by accident. I enjoyed in a "well, I don't even know what to expect here, and I'm an idiot for buying a DVD over the internet that I didn't intend to anyway" kinda way, although I don't think it's exactly must see.]]
EDIT: It wasn't KillSteve, btw. Don't remember who it was, but it def wasn't him.
The International Challenge event interest me with Sydal/Daniels vs Shingo/Doi I think and Davey/Roderick also KOW vs Briscoes but it is out of stock.Wish I would have had more money during the 8 dollar sale earlier this week
Thats what really interest me with Anarchy in the UK is that match.I have heard so many mixed reviews.
Yeah, but the only singles match I can remember that Whitmer had in that fued was with Super Dragon. Which given my dislike for S. Dragon wasn't bad. And how can you not have an entertaining match when your tagging against Punk/Cabana/Crazy Ace?
Now that I think of it Whitmer had a fairly good singles match with Joe at Hell Freezes Over and with Shingo at BOSP, why did I not remember that one I was there.
It doesn't have anything particularly high-end or mind-blowing, but overall it's pretty good and one of the few shows I have that I'd say delivers everything you want from the card.
I know he worked a NOAH tour and some IWA: MS shows after he was released from ROH but I also heard he is semi-retired so who knows.
