Transform
Eye of the Storm
Some quick reviews or something might be good also how is ASE IV because I actually like the card but have heard mixed reviews.

I would consider Dissension and Death Before Dishonor III.
I haven't seen Eye of the Storm, so I'd rather not give you false hope on that one.

Death Before Dishonor III - Worth the buy if you are a CM Punk fan. Pretty much a 1 match show
Redemption - Very fun show
Dissension - Same as above
Best In The World - Great show imo. Very enjoyable
Destiny - Don't remember it that well
Transform - Kinda meh show if I remember right
Eye Of The Storm - Considering it's an Unscripted style show, it's actually a very good watch. Some fun matches on it.

It's an alright PPV despite McGuinness/Morishima being a major letdown (imo). Aries/Strong is great though.

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
Pro-Wrestling NOAH 25/01/09
Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Takeshi Morishima & Mohammed Yone ***
Very fun contest. It was so great to see goofy Hero again, aswell as the KoW awesome moves back. Also a very interesting post match, even though I couldn't understand a shit Yone said.
GHC Champion Kensuke Sasaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Jun Akiyama & Syuhei Taniguchi ****
Pretty damn spectacular match. It was already great given the participants, but the interactions between Sasaki & Akiyama made it even better. The heat for Sasaki's next defense will be off the charts, given this is the most interesting and hatred-filled GHC Title match in a LOOONG time. A damn great tag match nevertheless, and probably the best of the year until now, at least in NOAH.
GHC Jr. Heavyweight Championship
KENTA (c) vs. Kotaro Suzuki ****3/4
Maaaan, this was one of the best matches I've even seen in my life. We're already used to both men talent, and adding to that the drama and the awesomeness of Suzuki's heelish tactics. The guy just was just on his Eddie Guerrero mood, and even busted out the Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, aswell as some heel tactics I had never seen in a match, EVER. His inumerous counters to the G2S were superb stuff. KENTA brought his usual awesomeness, and all of this carried this match to a completely different level of goodness. Ok, it was clear KENTA's blood was fake, but it doesn't take anything away from this brilliant contest.
Nagata-Tanaka can take a backseat, because this is my new MOTY, and probably one of the Top 5 Jr. matches EVER in NOAH.
EDIT: Oh, and by the aftermath of KENTA-Suzuki, the KENTA-Nakajima Jr. Title match should happen pretty soon. Now THAT will be sick to watch. And very awesome too.
Sorry by the overuse of the word 'awesome', you guys may understand.

KENTA is junior of the year. Easily.

PWG – Astonishing X-Mas
Scott Lost vs. Alex Shelley - ***1/2
Nemesis & Ronin vs. Quicksilver & Top Gun Talwar - **1/4
Colt Cabana vs. Scorpio Sky - **
El Generico & Human Tornado vs. Jack Evans & Roderick Strong - ***3/4
PWG World Title
Joey Ryan vs. Chris Kanyon - DUD
Davey Richards vs. Samoa Joe - ***1/2
B-Boy, Christopher Daniels, Alex Koslov, & Petey Williams vs. Frankie Kazarian, TJ Perkins, Rocky Romero, & Chris Sabin - ***1/2 - ***3/4

Overall a very enjoyable show despite having maybe the worst match in PWG history (and that includes when Super Dragon almost legit killed TARO) and it's also a fitting end to perhaps the greatest feud in PWG history.

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
Joey Ryan vs Kanyon goes beyond DUD, it was that bad. Shame since I really enjoyed Kanyon's work in WCW.

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
Went to the F1RST Wrestling show last night-let me tell you...good stuff went down.
Most notably The Osirian Portal against The Northstar Express and Arik Cannon against Lince Dorado. Both matches were fantastic and in my view over four stars.
Overall F1RST wrestling is pry the top indy company in the country in terms of what they give the fans. The shows flow great, the matches put out big time, and all the guys in the back are great. I never regret spending money to see F1RST...so ya, when this show comes out you should buy it...
Post show I talked to Ryan Cruz and Darin Corbin and I learned that they would once again be teaming with Arik Cannon as team F1RST in the King of Trios. Cruz told me one of he goals in wrestling is to be able to have a match with Johnny Saint.
I also talked to Amasis, Ophidian, and Lince Dorado. Ophidian is dificult to speak with due to the fact that he stays in his snake gimmick even after the show...so he is puzzling, but Lince as usual is great to talk to. He is finishing up his match major now, and plans to be a high school teacher in the fall.
This was my first time talking with Amasis, and I can honestly say that besides maybe Arik Cannon and Pete Huge (and maybe Darin Corbin) he is the nicest guy I have met in the business. He is really humble and gives credit for all of his success to Quack and Hero who trained them. He also explained that after his ankle injury he will be always wearing full boots rather than going bare foot.
I also picked up a Brody In Japan 5 disc set (McQueen has converted me), The Greatest Matches Ever 1995, and a bootlegged copy of The Wrestler all for $35.
All that plus a post show White Castle run made for a very good night.

A wrestling match is like a balanced diet. The basics are carbs, keeping you going. Armdrags may not be the highlight, but they're key to the development. Dairy is emotion and crowd interaction, like bones, they strengthen the match, and in there absense, the it will fall apart. Meat is moves like suplexes and finishers. They’re cool, but if you rely on them you’d be unhealthy, and the matches unwatchable. Mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them, but some is sweet chain wrestling. Last is spots and indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can't just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get above ****.
