Must catch that show. Finish the 4 way. Thankfully Chikara gave us the Sapphire highlights. Crowd sounds amazing just by their reaction to the incident.

XWT needs to open up registration.

Anyone else have an order containing FTC, and get the order, but not FTC? I ordered Sells Out Vol.3, and the Generico DVD along with FTC, and got the other two, but not FTC. I emailed them about it and they said it was an error on their part and it's on the way now, just wondering if it's happened to anyone else?

Maybe that's why it's been more than a week and it's still not on any torrent sites. Maybe nobody got it yet.

Wanting to dip my toes in to the CHIKARA waters. I've put off watching anything for too long and I'm in the mood for fun, easy viewing whilst I wait for this crazy storm to finish. Recommendations for shows to watch to introduce me to the product, please?

You might as well grab King Of Trios 2012 off of Pirate Bay & then go spend real money on their 12 Large Summit & Best of [year] DVDs.

And here's a link to El Generico vs. Sara Del Rey: http://blip.tv/fantasyfeline3/motdmotdmotd-6241841

SMV is having their monthly 25% off sale so I was wondering what are some top WXW shows. I have all of 16 Carat 2011, Night 2 of this year, and Genesis in Germany if that counts. Right now I am looking at:
1)Dead End Night VIII Night 2(Hero vs. Sugiura, KENTA vs. Claudio, Nigel vs. AmDrag, Kenta Kobashi & Go Shiozaki vs. Bad Bones & Big van Walter)
2)8th Anniversary(Absolute Andy vs. AmDrag, Bad Bones vs. Claudio)
3)True Colors 2008(Kenny Omega vs. Thumbtack Jack:FTCA, Davey Richards vs. ZSJ, Brodie Lee vs. Martin Stone Street Fight)
4)100(Claudio vs. ZSJ:30 minute ironman)
5)Back 2 the Roots VIII(Bad Bones vs. Steve Douglas)
6)Dead End XII(Generico vs. Walter)
I'm trying to narrow it down to 3 so these are just those shows I was looking at. If there are any better ones then throw those my way

I highly recommend Chikara's 12 Large Summit.

PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2012 Night 1

All matches on this card are BOLA qualifying matches.

TJ Perkins vs Joey Ryan
I really enjoy Joey Ryan's character and it made for some pretty entertaining moments. TJP was pretty dull as always but added to the match by doing some cool spots and Joey Ryan filled in the blanks and carried TJP to a acceptable bout.
★★

Roderick Strong vs Drake Younger
I must say, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Drake Younger is the walking definition of 'indywank' and Roderick fails to ever make me give a shit. They started this off very fast and waste no time waiting to bust out the big moves. I felt it did go on a bit too long but the sick spots during the finishing stretch made up for it AND how they made me really feel like the next big move could be the finishing move of the match. Pretty compelling stuff.
★★★

Eddie Edwards vs Kyle O'Reilly
This started off with some fun matwork and quickly turned into a long and droney match featuring all the terrible indy cliches you can come to expect out of these two.
★¾

Brian Cage vs B-Boy
What a mess this was. B-Boy is terrible and so Cage can also be pretty bad if he's not with the right guy. Full of botches, awkward-looking sequences and hammy strike exchanges.
½★

Ricochet vs Kevin Steen
Ricochet is quickly becoming one of my favorite to watch on the indies because of matches like this. I love the moment when Ricochet kept kiping-up after Steen's shoulder block and Steen then proceeded to kick the living shit out of Ricochet. Very good match with a great underdog performance from Ricochet.
★★★¼

Sami Callihan vs Willie Mack
Really fun gimmicky stiff-fest. I can totally see why some people didn't like it though. I loved how natural and organic the legwork by Sami felt after Willie makes a mistake. Sick finish too.
★★★

Adam Cole vs El Generico
I'm quiet disappointing with this match. I'm a fan of both guys but nothing really stood out as great. Generico bumps well as always and I marked big at Cole cutting off Generico's turnbuckle armdrag with a sick german. I like the flash finish too but Cole should of carried on selling the damage after he got the roll-up victory. I know I'm nit-picking but this really bugged me.
★★¾

Michael Elgin vs Davey Richards
Starts off innocently enough with Elgin establishing him self as a brick shithouse through some decent exchanges. This is then flushed down the toilet 5 minutes later when Davey is working a dominate control segment on Elgin. The match then takes a turn for the worse when they start busting out some 'so bad, it's good,' strike exchanges and some hilarious Davey Richards facial expressions. This match had some terrible mechanics with virtually no long-term selling and nothing puts Elgin over as a beast after the opening exchanges but there's an awesome spot here and there and some of the cheesiness of this match makes it a fun watch in it's own right.
★★

Overall:
Weak effort from PWG. I wouldn't go out of your way to see anything from this card.

From the previous seasons. I LOVED the last few seasons of Chikara. Which is why I decided to not skimp on the recs. Honestly, the majority of 2010 & 2011 are well worth your time. Even the shows where weather problems caused changes for shows in 2011 were fun.
