Chunk Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 im looking to start a wrestling video and dvd collection. Mainly based around the WWE/WWF. But i am also looking to buy a large section on foreign wrestling in particular japanese (especially Toryumon) I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the best japanes, toryumon and foreign wrestling Videos and DVDs available. I know theres reviews on the site, but theres so many videos/dvds out there, im really looking for an expert opinion on the essential non-missable ones that every collection should have. Cheers ChUnK!
Guest Grenouille Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Check around the board for video suggestions, there's quite a few. For DVDs I have a few. AJ Excite 2002-Kojima-Tenryu is the best match on the DVD with Mutoh-Kawada being second even though its really disappointing. NJ 5/2/02 Dome-In a word, bland. G1 Climax 2001 V.2-I liked it quite a bit. Best match on there is the Mutoh-Nagata final. NJ 1/4/02 Dome-Another bland show with nothing overly great. Akiyama-Nagata isn't that bad though. Also note that the DVDs are region 2.
Guest wolverine Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 "NJ 5/2/02 Dome-In a word, bland." Maybe the men's matches were bland, but I heard the women's match was really exciting. I need to see it eventually.
Guest Jubuki Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Nah, Kawada/Mutoh wasn't the second-best match from the card - closer to second-worst. That honor, per se, would go to Kea/Nagai, which wasn't all that good itself. Not that it took a whole lot to be second behind Kojima/Tenryu that night.
Chunk Posted August 20, 2002 Author Report Posted August 20, 2002 What about Toryumon, what are the best Toryumon tapes? Any one got any ideas? cheers ChUnK!
Guest wolverine Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Toryumon Comes to Japan is a very good tape. The 7/01 PPV show is also highly regarded.
Chunk Posted August 20, 2002 Author Report Posted August 20, 2002 k, thanks, ill look out for 'em :-) ChUnK!
Guest Dangerous A Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 I felt the 5/2 Dome show wasn't that bland. I felt the matches on the card were hit or miss. The womens match is damn good, unfortunately they only gave them 12 minutes. However there was a decent Jr. tag title match, a heated OH gun vs Team 2000 match and even though Chono vs Misawa ended in a draw, I dug it.
