I know I said I would never go back to IVP again after my first and only order which took over a month to arrive and a lot of messing about but no one else has never had any complaints about him.

Plus I want Best Of Alex Shelley, D'Lo Brown 1, 2, 3 and the new Bryan Danielson comps :$

CHIKARA's Anniversario?: Chris Hero vs. Mike Quackenbush- ***1/2 or ***3/4

To be honest, a bit disappointing. Still a great match, but with all the hype and the quality of both workers, there was a few things wrong with the match, especially the ending. Also, this match shows how overrated Quack can be; don't get me wrong, he's still a pretty great wrestler and athlete, but he tends to rely on flash before substance in a lot of his matches, with a prime example being the submission he used at the end of the match (didn't look painful, it was just meant to look creative, like a lot of his submissions and moves tend to be). Maybe after another viewing I can solidify it at ***3/4, maaaaaaaaaybe ****....but after the first viewing, it's jut not THAT good. Hopefully the rest of the show is good, which I expect it to be. So, basically, great match, but don't be expecting too much.

I was just wondering if anyone has bought King of Europe Cup yet. I know i preordered it a while ago and I'm not sure when it will arrive. Either way I'll post a little * rating when I do get it. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone bought it or got it yet.

Damn I just got it today too, I was hoping for a close to 5 star match:$

Chikara Rey De Voladores:

Chuck Taylor vs PAC vs Retail Dragon vs Ricochet-***3/4
Lince Dorado vs Equinox vs Ruckus vs Jigsaw-***1/4
The Order Of The Neo Solar Temple vs Team AnDrew & Tim Donst-**
Larry Sweeney vs Shane Storm-**1/2(fun match up)
Fire Ant vs Lance Steel-**
Hallowicked vs Eddie Kingston-N/R
BLKOUT vs The Colony-*3/4
RDV Finals-***1/2
Chris Hero vs Claudio Castagnoli-****1/2
CDP 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Team FIST vs Up In Smoke-***3/4

Overall-***3/4

I do say it was a strong show, dispite it being my first full Chikara show. The main event was strong, Hero/Claudio was awesome, the RDV finals was a solid bout and both RDV semi-finals were high flying and very exciting. Dispite the sadly bad BLKOUT vs Colony match up it was quite fun and good. I loved how Kingston turned "rudo" on the fans with the brawl against Wicked. And Cloudy's sickness was something I didn't expect to see, incredible to see him continue after it:agree:

I will watch Anniversario? later on and give my ratings soon.

I preordered it as soon as it went on sale and my copy hasn't arrived yet hopefully it will come soon.

If you don't have any others I would go with:

FYF:Finale
FYF:Liverpool
Glory By Honor V Night 2
Supercard Of Honor 2
Unified
Final Battle 2006

Others such as Better Than Our Best, Manhattan Mayhem, Ring Of Homicide you can all get with the ten dollar sale sometime later.

Folks, I just received my order from ROH (FYF UK shows, This Means War II, and Fighting Spirit). I'll be writing full reviews for all ROH shows, starting with This Means War II, which could be up as early as tonight. So, look out for my thoughts on the show :D

I'd switch out FYF: Liverpool and Final Battle '06 for Better Than Our Best and Manhattan Mayhem, and then it would be a perfect order. FYF Liverpool and FB '06 were both great, but the other two are two of the best of all time.

EDIT: Didn't read the bottom part, good plan.

Chikara Aniversario?:

The Colony vs The Olsen Twins-**1/2
Brodie Lee vs Equinox-*3/4
Player Uno vs Shayne Hawke-**3/4
Worker Ant vs Hydra-**1/2
Shane Storm vs Mitch Rider-**
Larry Sweeney & Claudio Castagnoli vs Lince Dorado & Pantera-**3/4
Young Lions Cup Match: Max Boyer(c) vs Create-A-Wrestler-*1/4
Hallowicked vs Eddie Kingston-***
Team FIST vs Dragon Yuki & Kagrra-***1/4
Mike Quackenbush vs Chris Hero-****1/2(sorry spart!)

Overall-***1/2

Well that was just one look, but I am for certain that the last 3 matches will stay the same score. Quack/Hero was a very well wrestled match, they went out there and just gave it all in the 18 min but I wouldn't say 5 stars. I knew the guys was just making a statement but yeah. A very good match up and it was MOTN. Some ratings might go up or down on a next watch but what I can tell you is that its a very fun show to watch, scores might not be very strong, but its entertaining.
 
#8,167 · (Edited)
If Hero/Quack is ****1/2 stars, you're ***** star match list must be filled up, Cody. There's so many reasons why te match was good, but not uber great.

I can just tell Hero/Quack is going to be overrated by sooo many because of the flashy stuff.

EDIT- Wow, I just realized my post seemed pretty arrogant, sorry 'bout that. I'm just frustrated because Quack himself is overrated (at times), so I know that with Hero involved this thing is going to be hyped as a MOTYC, when it really is far from that (not too far, but far enough). I'm talkin' DG 6 Man from SCOH overrated.

Yeah pretty much, it just appealed to me in such a way though. It was more of a flashy, high impact contest instead of a full out wrestling match that I thought would go almost 30 min. Mostly the intensity during it is what made me love it. You can feel the it, the atmosphere was pretty big for the match and it got to me really. I do say this, I did think what you said about the "Chikara Special" was true. It did look like more of a flash move then a more painful thing, your right. But I just enjoied it and thought it really was a 4 1/2 star match up.

EDIT-Its ok spart. I do know that Quack is often overrated(while me loving most of his stuff though) and Hero is always involved in those types of matches so yeah, its quite understandable to where your coming from. I know I rated it higher than you and I do feel that mine is fine BUT you do have a valid point of people will more than likely overrate it. If you can understand where I am coming from then thanks, cause it might seem a bit odd that I agree with you when you gave it ***3/4 and I gave it ****1/2 so yeah.....:eek:

That will help you out.

My first "Star Ratings". I figured Id try to grade these matches with the star method criticism is welcome.
Best Of Jack Evans Vol. 1

Jack Evans vs Teddy Hart **1/4 (Very dissapointing match, seemed like theyd do 1 move and rest, 1 move rest, etc. Expected it to be the total opposite)

Jack Evans/Roderick Strong vs. Genki Horiguchi/Naoki Tanisaki *** ( Evans and Strong up to the same old tricks)

Masato Yoshino/Naruki Doi vs. Jack Evans/Roderick Strong vs. Shisa/Vangelis ***3/4 (Fun match, Im starting to mark everytime I see Doi)

Masato Yoshino vs. Jack Evans **1/2( Each guy gets in their regular moves nothing to noteworthy)

Don Fujii/Jack Evans/Matt Sydal vs. Naruki Doi/Naoki Tanisaki/Masato Yoshino **3/4 (Very Short match that with the proper time would have been great, liked the finish too)

CIMA/Jack Evans & Roderick Strong vs. B-Boy, Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi ***3/4 (everything was executed and a fast paced match with nearfalls)

Jack Evans vs. Genki Horiguchi vs. Akira Tozawa ***1/4(for some reason I only got the last 6 minutes of this match because it starts with action already happening,either way it was a ladder match with cool spots.)

Plus there is another match on the disc and Im not sure with all the guys names because IVP doesnt have it listed. Sydal/Strong/Evans team up against Doi and Yoshino but Im not sure about other names. Its the best match on the disc, 1/2 hour of back and forth action. Ill give it ***3/4​


Overall its about ***1/4. Definately worth the 2.99 purchase especially if your a Jack Evans fan.

Same here.

I believe the match that wasn't on the disc was Dr. Muscle & Naruki Doi & Gamma & Naoki Tanisaki & Masato Yoshino vs. Don Fujii & Jack Evans & Yasushi Kanda & Roderick Strong & Matt Sydal, definetly the best match on the DVD imo.

I agree with everything else that you posted (from wht I've seen), but these two I disagree on. If that's the same Evans/Yoshino match from the 4/23/06 show, then that match was awesome. I'd give it ***1/2 - ***3/4. Great fast paced action with a lot of near falls. And if that's the six-man that's on the WrestleJam DVD, then I'd give it ***1/4. Good action, but only in the last few minutes. I remember it being kinda boring in the beginning.

I preorderd the DVD weeks ago. I was front row both nights and they were great shows, be very interesting to see the dvds.
know I said I would never go back to IVP again after my first and only order which took over a month to arrive and a lot of messing about but no one else has never had any complaints about him.
Any idea how long it normally takes for orders to arrive over here. Surely a month isnt the norm?
