Good luck with some of those. Jimmy Jacobs seems like it would be nearly impossible to find someone with his full career on DVD. Just look at all the titles that he's held in tons of promotions that I've never heard of. And I'm sure there are more promotions that he's worked in where he's never won a title.

* All American Wrestling


* Anarchy Championship Wrestling


* Border City Wrestling


* Championship Wrestling of Michigan

* Great Canadian Wrestling

* Great Lakes All-Pro Wrestling


* Great Lakes Wrestling


* Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South

* Independent Wrestling Federation of Michigan

* Independent Wrestling Revolution

* Lakeshore Wrestling Organization

* Midwest Pro Wrestling

* Mr. Chainsaw Productions Wrestling

* National Wrestling Alliance

* Powerhouse Championship Wrestling


* Price of Glory Wrestling


* Pro Wrestling Federation

* Pro Wrestling Guerrilla


* Ring of Honor

* Superior Championship Wrestling

* Thunder Zone Wrestling


* Westside Xtreme wrestling


* Xtreme Intense Championship Wrestling


I doubt even Jimmy Jacobs has all his matches on DVD.

And I don't know if some of the other guys on your list would be any easier.

Love the Bluegrass Brawl cover, but as said, the spine and back are pretty bland. Awesome job on the London cover Tarfu, I actually just saw it on highspots main page and was like damn, that's that dude's cover. haha

Any predictions on what the next ROH sale is gonna be? I wanna get DBDH VIII but I don't wanna pay full price...

Just a note that DBD8/BS2 also includes Black vs. Davey from Proving Ground 2009, minus intros.

Now I remember why I hate ordering from Highspots. Shipping costs + how long it takes to bloody arrive.

I've been waiting over 2 weeks now for my PWG order to arrive.
They might have something cooking at the moment. In my case every single order (by which I mean plenty) except for two have taken exactly a week to ship: one was around new year (BOLA 09, took 3 weeks) so Christmas traffic was expected I guess, and the other was due to their fucked up computer system that read my address as a line of random symbols. Never really had any other problems with intl shipping.

But shipping costs, boy, that's a whole other story... :side:

And literally as I just read this, I got a fucking note through my door telling me I've got to pay a customs charge.

Bullshit.
i have no problem paying customs if I have to it's the £8 odd they charge for "handling" fee that pisses me right off. I once had one was something daft like 52p customs to pay with an £8 handling charge.


Anyone able to get on the main ROH site I keep getting a blocked site warning and even if I ignore it I just get directed to the wallpapers page.

Ultimate Gate was fucking garbage live, if there wasn't an F4W dinner before the shows that night would have been the biggest waste of money in my life.

Yeah I'm getting the same thing.

And I just saw that Evolve has added Chuck Taylor vs. Mike Quackenbush for 9/11. Between that match Kong/Mercedes and Sawa/Danielson it looks like a very good card. I wish I could go to the show but it would be way too risky as far as getting to NYC in time for ROH. Not to mention the travel arrangements would just be too confusing as I would either have to drive and park in NYC or take a train the opposite direction from my house around midnight to Jersey and I wouldn't get home until 5AM at the earliest. I'll just buy the DVD.

I hope they can get a good crowd at the show but I'm really not sure if they will.

LOL, Gabe is trying to make people believe that getting from Rahway to ROH will only take 20 minutes, when driving takes half an hour at the very least and taking a New Jersey Transit train takes 40 minutes to get to Penn Station on a good day. Now, that wouldn't be too bad if the show were ending at 6, but he's saying it'll end around 6:30; if you look at the train schedule, there's a train to Penn Station at 6 and then the next one isn't until 6:49, which would get you INTO Penn Station at about 7:40, and then you have the walk over to the Manhattan Center from the station. Then, of course, there's the matter of getting up to the 7th floor.

Turrbull.

EVOLVE 1: Ibushi vs. Richards

Kyle O’ Reilly vs. Bobby Fish **¼

Chuck Taylor vs. Cheech **

Arik Cannon vs. Ricochet

Dark City Fight Club vs. Aeroform ¾*

Brad Allen vs. Silas Young

Jimmy Jacobs vs. Ken Doane *

Chris Dickinson vs. Johnny Gargano

TJP vs. Munenori Sawa ***½

Team Frightning vs. Akuma’s Army

Kota Ibushi vs. Davey Richards ***¾-****

Pretty much what I was expecting really, though TJP/Sawa ended up being alot better then I'd hoped. First two matches were decent as well and the main event was exactly what I'd expected. I'm not sure whether I'll keep up to date with all the EVOLVE shows now, but I will most likely check out any of the main events that happen.

Evolve 2 is a lot easier to sit through than the first show so far, and I've heard the third one was even better. Not going to go so far as to call it my new favorite promotion but it's a hell of a lot better than what you'd expect from that show. Adding the KOW appears to have improved it incredibly.

Also, I was excited for TJP-Sawa going into that show, and it blew me away more than I could have expected. They could have built the promotion around TJP, but Gabe had to throw that away because of some personal crap. Oh well.

TJP/Sawa was amazing. One of my favorite matches that's taken place on the indies in a very long time. They could have passed off a lot of that match as being a real fight. It was just very cool to watch.

And TJP should have been on of the top guys in Evolve because his style seemed to be exactly what Evolve was trying to prevent.

And Evolve 3 has been the best out of the first 3 shows. Evolve 4 was insane live but I don't know how good it will be when I'm not 7 feet away from the ring with a perfect view.

And I will go as far to say that Evolve is becoming one of my favorite promotion. I mean I can see a lot of their shows live, the arenas they have run in so far have cheap GA tickets with amazing views, they don't run too many shows so it's easy to keep up with, and I like the style of wrestling that they have.
