It's reasons like this that make it difficult to become a fan of the indies. I don't want to download the events because they don't make near enough for me to download them. If they offered a download on their websites for the same price as the DVD, minus shipping, it would be so much easier.

Highspots are horrendous shipping wise.


2CW - 11/11/11
Nigel McGuiness vs Eddie Edwards
***1/2

Match was fine, a little long but just lacked something.

Nigel not being able to bump hurt it a ton, as did his lack of signature offense. A Nigel match without a lariat is like a Shawn Michaels match without a superkick. Still, the two did as good as they possibly could have in that situation. I really dug the finish, too.

Where you from? This DVD might be worth a look...

While on the subject of Highspots DVD sets, what are the ones they produce like? Like that Hayabusa one for example, what's the packaging like and how long are the discs?

No DQ Match: Tommy Dreamer & Rhino vs. CW Anderson & Raven

Got to see Generico last night in an awesome match, he went into PISSED OFF mode and beat the shit out of our own luchadore El Excentrico. I shook hands with him afterwards and got an autograph. What a great guy.

BIG news.

So here is the big announcement. We hope that it won't disappoint...

As we approach our 15th birthday, Smart Mark Video has begun it's transition into a more modern platform for independent wrestlers and promoters to highlight their talents and products to an increasingly broader audience. What does that mean, exactly?

It means Smart Mark Video is launching "SMV on Demand," a new site that will offer video on demand and live iPay-Per-View.

We said 2012 was going to be a big year and we meant it. The game changes in a matter of days, when SMV on Demand officially opens!

Just to note in this late why Davey is meh is because right now all the attributes that he has that is good, he is erasing them. He is a great limp worker and yet he dropped it for spamming ankle locks. Fantastic guy that shows great emotion and getting the crowd with him.......yet he dropped that for a mouth guard. All the storytelling that made him great and the fantastic structure(Such as in his match with Black or Hero), he dropped it for more action/sequences instead of worrying about the details. Richards is a GREAT wrestler but he is holding HIMSELF back. I don't mind 40/long matches(Seeing how Bryan Danielson spammed them like they were going out of style back in the day) but you shouldn't be doing 40 if you don't got the goods to make a 20 min match good. His match with Mack was awful.
