Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
Celebrated a real paycheck by spending it irresponsibly on both BOLA 2K9 shows! Just need Gentle Art and I'm all caught up on my PWG. Feels good, man.

If you spent your entire paycheck on on BOLA I feel bad that your whole paycheck was $30 plus shipping....
I still haven't finished Night 2 myself. Great show but I'm too easily distracted to watch 2 shows in a row. I've watched some of Unforgiven 2001, an FIP show (it was pretty good), some death matches, and a little bit of Thunder from 2000. I also reorganized all the DVDs in my room and found my long lost copy of BOLA 2005 (the sleeves they're in were mixed in with some Nitros and Thunders I have on DVD).
After I finish watching the Yankees beat the Red Sox I'll probably put some stuff on ebay. I figure if I clear out the junk that I have and some of the stuff I bought a while ago with intent to sell I should be able to save up for some wrestling tickets and there won't be any need to tap into my savings. I'm thinking I'll put up my Spring Stampede 1994? (Flair/Steamboat) up because it's still sealed and my ROH Night of Appreciation DVD (it's out of print and I have it on VHS so hopefully I can get some cash for it).
And I have to say that I was impressed with FIP In Full Force 2008. Nice short show with a bunch of solid to good matches. Looking forward to Southern Justice 2008 which took place the next night. Don't know how you can wrong with Norman Smiley vs. Greg Valentine taking place in 2008... Rest of the card looks good too. I might end up regretting that I didn't get more in the ROH Clearance Sale. |

Spring Stampede 1994 Sealed
ROH Night of Appreciation DVD (RF video)
FIP Emergence Night 1 (I've had a second copy of this for well over a year now)
I have a bunch of WWF videos that are still sealed. I either don't want them, have them already, or have them on DVD.
I also have an annoying amount of XPW tapes (fucking Highspots grab bag) still sealed, a Crash Holly Shoot Interview (somehow I managed to get doubles of this...)
I also have this weird VHS about a Lucha Libre wrestler being a super hero. It's in Spanish but I think they're about El Hijo del Santo.
A lot of it is shit in all honesty but even if I can make $1 on some of them I will get much more out of them that way instead of leaving them in a box in my closet. |

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
Interesting set of stuff there Fitzy. Tell me when the WWF tapes go up.
KaijuFan’s Stoned Review
PWG – Against The Grain
BOLA 2K9 Qualification:
Brandon Cutler vs Brandon Gatson vs Johnny Goodtime vs Malachi Jackson:
***
Flippy fun to start the show, absolute crazy finish.
Kenny King vs Ol’ DR:
** ½
A little sloppy, next time they fight it’ll be much better.
Scott Lost vs Joey Ryan:
***
These two know each other so well and it showed in their combinations.
Brian Kendrick vs Roderick Strong:
*** ½
BOLA 2K9 Qualification:
Dustin Cutler vs Charles Mercury vs Shane Haste vs Gary Fuckin’ Coleman:
***
Shane Haste died, holy shit.
El Generico vs Chris Hero:
** 1/2
It almost felt like it fell apart several times.
PWG Tag Titles:
The Young Bucks © vs The Men Of Low Moral Fiber:
***.5
Was alright, though they didn’t seem to know when they were supposed to use comedy or when they were srs bsns.

It was quite good, even though I find it extremely hard to get into FIP shows due to the crowd making animal-like noise the whole time. I'd still take it over wXw's football crowds any day.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
wXw crowd>American indy crowd.
That crowd can make a match easily. It opens doors for more charisma, and often times more story.

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 ****.

*vomits* wXw have the most annoying fans. They relentlessly chant fucking nonsense, taking me completely out of the moment EVERY FUCKING TIME. Just thinking about those dumb cheers remind me of so many great matches that they've put on that were ruined by their stupid shit. The last wXw match I watched was Tyler Black vs. SHINGO, and I had to watch it muted just to make it through.
