You don't really need Parts 1 & 2 of BEU; the last two parts are the ones you need to see. And, Dream Rush (11/26/92) is a MUST SEE.

 

As far as what tapes to get above, it all depends on what interests you, since you've got all sorts of styles to choose from. AJW Championship Night is a great show, with the last two matches being superb.

[Guest TheGame2705]

Thanks for the heads up on BEU. I don't think I'll be getting AJW Champ Night just yet but I will along with DreamRush. I just wanna find a place to buy it that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and maybe I can get another show on it too. I'm a stinge :-P. I've narrowed it down to the three choices above. I just don't know how good the matches are.

[Guest wolverine]

Just to let you know, Dream Rush is 4 hours & 20 minutes, so you could have Jeff Lynch put it on a 6 hour tape and still have room for something else for $20.

[Guest TheGame2705]

Nah I'll just buy it separately for $10. Anyway any idea which one I should drop from the three?

[Guest wolverine]

Well, I personally would go with Lynch, since his VQ and service are top notch. Well worth the price.

 

Of the tapes you listed, I would pick the AJ/NJ '96 TV. Benoit-Ohtani is great fun.

[Guest TheGame2705]

Isn't Lynch just by e-mail? If so, how do I know what he has that would take up the other hour and twenty minutes?

[Guest RickyChosyu]

Lynch sends you a package in the mail containing his prices, policies, ect. From there, you can decide what you want and mail him your choices. His e-mail can be found in the "New to Puroresu?" thread.

[Guest wolverine]

Also, if you want to find out if he has a particular tape or show, all you have to do is ask and he'll get back to you ASAP.

 

Once you start ordering from him, he will send you Tape Updates in the mail every other month.

Does he sell tapes to guys in the UK? And in PAL format. If he only does NTSC the thats ok for me, but its not good if he doesnt post to the UK LOL!

 

cheers

[Guest wolverine]

He sends tapes overseas also, but it's only in NTSC format.

[Guest Jubuki]

I got DR from him as a 2-tape set, each part in SP, and the VQ wasn't stunning - certainly good enough to make video files from, but it wasn't a big step up from my other copy. That's probably true of a lot of his old stuff - that one's an old tape, and a popular one, so I'm not sure anyone's going to get a really outstanding copy anymore, short of flying over there and making a trip to Champions just for it.

[Guest wolverine]

Keep in mind that he has a 1st gen at SLP of Dream Rush. So unless you want to dish out a lot more money for 1st gens yourself from other dealers, I'd say it's a pretty good deal, especially considering that set is out of print.

 

However, he has upgraded a lot of other AJW shows from 1992 to masters (such as 6/21/92, which I got a few months ago - I only had the main event prior to that).

[Guest goodhelmet]

practically every show i have purchased from lynch has been far and away better (in quality) than any other person I have tried on the net. I've said it before and I'll say it again... buy from lynch for anything puro.
