When I first watched it I was kinda disappointed with the wrestling because of this. Then next day however I thought about it again and decided that the wrestling was pretty dang good all around. I was cracking up at the commentary, that may have been the best part of the whole show to me. There was a guy there that looked extremely wasted and I started feeling embarrassed for him, especially when he says "THAT WAS A CLOSED FIST DONT YOU CARE ABOUT THE RULES?!?!?!?!" to Chris Hero.
So, I felt that this DVD gave me a pretty good introduction to the product and it showcased a lot of wrestlers.

Really cool to hear...

So why was 2006 such a bad year for Dragon Gate??? I looked over most of the cards and they don't look too bad.

2005 was REALLY awesome with Blood Gen vs. Do FIXER just being epic, Mochizuki doing absolutly epic Dream Gate matches, and just awesome cards. 2006 featured Blood Gen vs. MOz, with MOz just having all this power and being really every heel in the company, which was stale. CIMA as a face, unless he's doing big singles matches like now, really isn't as good as heel. Plus, they lost monthly PPV and still hadn't worked the kinks out of the TV system they have now, so matches were hella clipped with not much good coming out. Plus, a REAL overreliance on gaijin with huge pushes for Jack Evans, Sydal, Steen, and others people felt didn't deserve it. Plus, Ryo Saito, future of the company, got berried in his first title reign, not making any successful defenses. 2007 has been much better with more even stables, CIMA doing great title matches, gaijin are still in but not overpushed, and TV has, on average, one really great, 20-25 minute match a show.

Two questions:

1.Are there any PWG matches that are legitimate five stars? What's the best match in PWG history?
2. What are their three best shows?

1. They Have No ***** Matches But They Have Had A Lot of Great Matches. The Greatest PWG Match I Ever Seen Was Joey Ryan vs. Super Dragon on Use Your Illusion IV (****1/2-****3/4). 60+ Minute Classic.

2. That's tough but I would say (I haven't seen the new shows that are out except DDT4 Night 1): DDT4 Night One, ASW V Night One & Enchantment Under The Sea but their are other great shows.

I´m gonna watch Chikara Cibernetico & Robin in a couple of hour and wonder if it´s consider a good Chikara show or not? I´m asking because I´ve never watch anything from that promotion before.

It is a good show, not the best CHIKARA show. But everything on it is worth a watch, including the Cibernetico even though it wasn't Chikara's best....

My match of the night goes to Up in Smoke vs Olsens....Brilliant match which I'm sure you will enjoy

That reminds me...I've got to update a few thingsin the Guide..
