oops. wrong thread

[Platt]

Wouldn't of gone that high on the opener thought it was the worst match of the show. No real wrestling in there just fish hooks for shock value. Also Drake/Ito was carpet strips not Kenzans that was Toby/Havoc.

Necro/Jack and the finals are fantastic though and overall easily the deathmatch tournament of the year.

[dele]

Yeah, I just realized that I messed up, corrected.

Masters of Pain - Disc 2

Death From Below match
Ryuji Ito beats squashes Danny Havoc with a Dragon Splash onto a barbed wire spider net trap - **1/2
Postscript: Ito showing no respect after the match to yet another CZW, double lol

Finals - Electrified Light Tubes and Panes of Glass Death Match
Thumbtack Jack beats Ryuji Ito with an avalanche D-Geist onto a table with illuminated light tubes - ***3/4-****

This is the best Ito has looked in a few years and such an amazing look at Thumbtack Jack. Definitely worth every penny.

Well just got done watch Final Battle 2005 and Genesis but I know you dont care about Genesis so on to my thoughts about Final Battle 2005 and for some reason this was my least favorite of the three dvd's I got.

Milano Collection AT vs Jimmy Rave-**1/2
Azrieal vs Colt Cabana-**
(Pure Title) Nigel McGuiness vs Claudio Castagnoli-***
Alex Shelley vs Steve Corino-***
Lethal vs Joe vs Daniels vs Whitmer-***1/2
Strong/Aries vs Mamuluke/Rinauro-***
ROH Title Danielson vs Marifuji-****1/4
(GHC Jr. Title) Low Ki vs Kenta-****3/4

I loved the Double Main Event but everything for some reason was good but not as good or enjoyable as the other two shows and what where Mamuluke/Rinauro doing as Tag Team Champs.I think I might pick up some more 2005 DVD's when another big 10 sale comes.or maybe some early 06.

Thumbtack Jack is pretty good and I'd like to see him against someone other than Danny Havoc or Drake Younger, both of whom he carried to pretty good matches.

And probably one of the worst DM tourneys has to be the 08 Carnage Cup. I'm not past Mike Levy (yea, that guy) vs. Prophet and I can't stop laughing. The 1st match was FreakShow vs. Hellaware Assassin and I can honestly say anything from CZW in 08 is better than that match. I thought CZW had the market cornered on bad matches featuring two fatties hitting each other with objects, but this was just afwul and sad.

My first PWG DVD (not including Sells Out) and i loved it. Awesome main event and a fun undercard despite Shelley/Sabin, B-Boy/Kaz and Ryan/Steen being quite disappointing. I also haven't laughed so much during a wrestling show in a long time thanks to Tornado, Sky, Bosh, Generico, Steen and Quicksilver. Looking forward to the rest of the PWG shows i've got to watch
