Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
Joe vs. Punk trilogy
World Title Classic - ****. An obvious lack of preparing to go for an hour knocks it down a bit. Still fucking tremendous psychology and drama though.
Joe vs. Punk II - *****. I can only remember one selling flaw, but the storytelling and building up of the crowd was just too overwhelming to not go the full monty on this one. If I was anal about keeping DVDs, I'd buy the disc at like $50 just to have this one.
All Star Extravaganza II - ****1/2. More awesome storytelling and psychology, but just couldn't measure up to the sequel. I really enjoyed the subtle foreshadowing of Joe's reign coming to an end though. His desperate measures, along with the hour-long draws he had been through with Punk, should've been a heads-up at the time that his days as champion were numbered.
