Cal's set is really good as well (14 discs), I'd say the Marty Jones 14/4/84 match is the best on the set and that one is on youtube. Its a 6 disc set covering fucking Finlay so at the minimum it'll be good, but Cal's set I'd say covers more ground and is likely to have a better consistency rate in terms of good-great matches given who made the set and what sort of match they class as worthy of making a compilation set.

Wish I hadn't stopped watching Chikara pre-KOT 2009. I just kinda slowly fell off the train and now I'm way behind. And now I've somewhat lost interest in everything else. Even PWG can't light me up anymore with their hard-hitting "indy style" (which I've grown to loathe), though Dragon's return got me excited for a while.

It's a dilemma. I can't afford buying every Chikara show (tried for a little while) but I also don't want to pirate them from a moral standpoint. Maybe I'll just get a couple Best ofs for starters.

Am I being a total retard? Where is this PWG 5 for $40 deal? It's not showing up anywhere on Highspots for me.

EDIT: Worked it out. PWG mailing list only. Yikes I feel dumb.

F1 Title
Joe Gacy vs. Johnny Calzone - N/A

NWA Force-1 feels like bad CZW circa 07-08 minus the hardcore matches. The top of the card is mediocre to horrible, the only good matches are usually by outsiders and the booking makes no sense. For some reason the crowd loves The Monster Squad though.



AAW - Scars & Stripes 2011


CLASH (Cameron Skyy & Tommy Treznik) vs. Zero Gravity (CJ Esparza & Bret Gakiya) - **

Christian Faith vs. Jesse Emerson - *

Ryan Boz vs. Austin Mannix - SQUASH

Irish Airborne (Dave & Jake Crist) vs. Eric Ryan & Bobby Beverly - **

AAW Tag Team Titles
Awesome Threesome (Knight Wagner & Jordan McEntyre) vs. Colt Cabana & Gregory Iron - **1/4

Michael Elgin vs. Brent B - SQUASH

Arik Cannon vs. Jimmy Jacobs - ***1/2

Darin Corbin & Marion Fontaine vs. Keith Walker & N8 Mattson - ***

AAW Heavyweight Title - Two out of Three Falls
Silas Young vs. Dan Lawrence - **3/4

Couple of good matches on the show, main event would have been better minus the clumsy dirty finish, Truth Martini is so much more enjoyable in AAW then ROH right now.

Chikara is now the only company I support in terms of spending my money and looking out for results.

It's so awesome at the moment, the in-ring stuff really has gone to another level.

Tursas is a beast, Soldier ant is showing mad potential, Fire Ant has literally become the hot property of the company, etc. Some terrific stuff going on.

No better time for anyone to become a fan, or get back in love with the company than High Noon imo.

Thinking about ordering it, card looks enjoyable even if I'm unaware of current events. Should be worth it for the first singles champion's crowning alone.

Also, best poster ever:

I'd recommend looking through the results on the homepage, reading the blogs, etc.

The two big story arcs at the moment are Kingston/Quack for the Grand Championship after a 12 Large: Summit dedicated to Larry and UMB/Ares' war which has led to UMB/Hallowicked versus Ares/Donst at High Noon. Loser loses something. UMB - Mask, Hallowicked - Mask, Donst - Hair, Ares - Eye of Tyr.

The added factor is Delirious is still BDK's pet and under Ares' control.
