A little more time!? They got 37 Min! But still a great match nonetheless.

So with Chikara dvds I have been thinking of getting The Tag world Grand Prix(all 3) & The Crushing Weight Of Main Stream Ignorance has my first shows, does anyone have any ratings for them?

Random CZW Reviews:

Down With The Sickness 2: CZW Title Match-Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston

Everyone who has been a fan of Combat Zone Wrestling for the past few years will know about this great feud between two of CZW's best. This match was very stiff with plenty of shots from a variety of body parts (including a lot of head butts!), the crowd were into it which is always a plus as CZW crowds tend to be very crappy alot of the time. Overall very entertaining but with a dissapointing finish which the crowd went quiet for until the 3 count. It's definately worth checking out if your a fan of either of these men.

Strictly CZW: CZW Title Match-Claudio Castagnoli vs Chris Hero

This is Hero's first defence of the belt. In storyline terms the match came out of the blue, but the match itself was pretty good indeed. The crowd unfortunately were crap but it didn't ruin the match for me. Alot of lucha style wrestling, arm drags galore. These guys are talented as hell and it shows here. Claudio is especially agile for his size and build. Around the middle of the match things slowed down a bit which may bore some people but it gradually picks up again into a nice finish. Again definately worth checking out if you a fan of either of these guys and this is a pretty good showcase of both mens talent, however i'd like to stress again-THE CROWD SUCKED.

Cage of Death 8: CZW Title Match-Eddie Kingston vs Chris Hero vs Justice Pain

Pain is over at COD! Getting a great reception and chants. Hero also recieves a good crowd reaction, while Kingston recieves the heel reception. The atmosphere is great and the match is on, this is how CZW should always be. "F*ck you Eddie!" chants lead us to the bell. The match began slow with Pain and Hero in the ring while Heel Eddie escaped to ringside. I'm not sure if Kingston got injured for real but he seemed to have trouble walking which led to some events which didn't look staged. Pain also took a nasty spill off the top in hand-stand position which may have been "f*cked up!". The match progressed well with some great spots/moves and the end was nice and quick. Good effort, CZW title matches at Cage of Death have been pretty controversial over the last few years and this was no different. I don't care what anyone says about him, Justice Pain can put on decent matches and deserves some credit.

Down With The Sickness 2: Ladder Match-Derek Frazier vs Ruckus

The main event of the second Chris Cash Memorial show and a match that has happened before. Nice chain wrestling start followed by a bit of time wasting followed by more chain wrestling! A bit sketchy but good, a nice start to the match. On a side note i love Ruckus' flippy karate thing where he dodges the opponent and the cat and mouse moonsault thing, they look sick! Good inventive wrestling, brutal ladder shots and high spots continue for most of the match. Crappy CZW crowd syndrome enters pretty early however, which is never good, maybe because it was an afternoon show, their quiet not being assholes though. I was hoping for quick spot fest heaven here so i was dissapointed. Around half way through i would hit fast-forward as Frazier takes a long time to get a table out from under the ring and into it, must have been embarrassing. A bit to long, Nick Gage's Borat quotes are commentary are more entertaining them some bits of the match and its a bit sloppy. This match is not compulsive viewing. Frazier and Ruckus didn't even seem into it. "Ruckus may have just broke his ass!".

Don't get the TNA. You seem delighted at the Dayton show prospect, but what I've read says there are better shows out there. Anyways, I say get these:

Glory By Honov V Night 2 (complete MUST own, if you don't buy this you're a fool quite frankly, best wrestling match ever (IMO) on this with Dragon/KENTA)
Final Battle 2006 (Granted I haven't seen the FYF Chicago show which could rank up with this, this show is still really good, filled with great matches (many of which reaching/topping ****) and a great way to end 2006 with ROH)

You're welcome.

I rank those shows...

I'll have reviews of Dayton and Chicago later today, with some opinions that may surprise some people.

I'd have NYC above Dayton, but asides from that, the list is perfect.
