AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Why Unforgiven 2001? There are no extras and the show itself isn't that good Huh? Saturn vs. Raven and Tajiri vs. Rhyno were good, RVD vs. Jericho was a damn good match--better than their KotR 2002 match, Edge vs. Christian was good although their ladder match may be better, Rock vs. Booker & Shane was good despite Shane being in it, and I dug Austin vs. Angle majorly despite Angle bombing as champ afterward. Plus it was Austin in top 2001 form vs. ANGLE for cryin' out loud. Plus, the 4 Team Elimination was fun and it had a hilarious comedy match in Kronik vs. the Brother of Destruction Thanks so far. What is the bonus disc in Wrestlemania 2000? Recaps of the best moments of all the prior 15 WMs. Oh, my first WWF DVD was No Mercy 2001--got it used. Pretty good lineup on that one including the E vs. C ladder match. Even the filler isn't so bad--the Lingerie match and Test vs. Kane (AS' favorite match) is good for a laugh or two. I got good deals on most of the DVDs I have online at half.com or used at CD Warehouses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Saturn vs. Raven and Tajiri vs. Rhyno were good Saturn v. Raven was the usual Raven crap and was pretty boring. Rhyno v. Tajiri was a 4 minute squash to kill time. Edge vs. Christian was good although their ladder match may be better The match was a major dissapointment and had both guys moving like they were in slow motion. I mean- hair slams? Rock vs. Booker & Shane was good despite Shane being in it Too much overbooking and Booker was made to look like a bitch. I dug Austin vs. Angle majorly despite Angle bombing as champ afterward. That Austin v. Angle match is the worst of the series. From the non sensical ending to the fact that nothing exciting really happens. Watch all their other matches and then watch the Unforgiven match- It pales in comparison. The show was pretty good but once agan- NO extras. I only got it cause it was on sale for $7 Canadian at Wal Mart. I would get No Mercy (also bare bones) over Unforgiven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 I will always recommend PRIDE FC 10 - Return of the Warriors and the Grand Prix 2000. Watch the Gracie Clan get their ass beat by Sakuraba. FMW - King of the Deathmatch Cactus Jack vs Wing Kanemura Combat Toyoda vs Megumi Kudo Remember that Foley, Beniot, Guerrero, Angle are gods and buy everything that has them in a match.

Grenouille 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 If your into Puro and have a multi-region player I'd recommend a few titles. Riki Choshu Box set - If you’re a Choshu fan and have quite a bit of cash this is well worth it. 6 discs covering Riki's NJPW career from the 70s to about 00 with a small skip over in the mid 80s due to his stint in AJPW. Radical Fights - 3 DVDs covering the history of NJPW from 72-01. NJPW does an excellent job in restoring their old footage, unlike a certain American promotion. 1994 J Cup - Great intro to Puro, which has been discussed to death already. 2002 G1 Climax - Two discs covering every match from the round robin tournament in their entirety. NJPW vs. AJPW Total War - 2 discs covering the 10/9/00 & 1/4/01 Dome shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted August 11, 2003 (edited) Barely Legal is a pretty good ECW PPV, so I'd easily recommend it. The M-Pro six-man tag match is really good, and the rest of the matches are decent enough, except for Douglas-Pitbull. The RVD-Storm match is worth watching just to see Lance Storm's chair shots. Heat Wave '98 is another good ECW PPV that's availabe on DVD. Edited August 11, 2003 by Askewniverse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Not that I know of. Aside from "Wrestler Bios". I don't believe there is any extra footage on the shows. And the Mich Pro 6 man isn't near *****. It's fantastic, but it's not *****'s. Maybe in the top 15 matches of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 DH, the Classic DVD set is a compilation of footage mainly from the USWA, GWF, UWF, etc. I just got it from work, and the only DVD I've watched is the Booker T. one, so I can't judge on any others, but the Austin DVD supposedly contains matches from his feud with Chris Adams, which was the feud that "made" him as an upstart heel. I'll let you know the entire listings later from work should I get a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sturgis Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Are any of the FMW DVDs worth picking up? King of the Deathmatch, Flying Assassin: The Best of Hayabusa, and Rule The Asylum are good the rest(from what I've seen) suck, here a basic rundown: 3 or 4 full matches 5 clipped/JIP matches Annoying commentary by John Wantanabe and Dan "The Mouth" Lowanski Good video packages DVD Extras Trialers for TOKYOPOP realeses like Street Fury, FMW, J-Idols(Japanesse Women) Bonus match(JIP) FMW History Bios If your curious about FMW from 95 til 2000 when Fuyuki took over and ruined everything get it other than that take a pass.

SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2003 I would reccomend just about any RoH DVDs that have AJ and Daniels on them, as your GOING to get ATLEAST one good match. Barely Legal is worth it, although just get the VHS, as the DVD doesnt have many extras. Other than the ECW PPVs(Which if you want any others, get them on VHS) I do however reccomend all the major ECW "Best Of" DVDs as all of them usually come with 1-2 more matches than the VHS. Some of the matches are pretty great too.The "Best of" tapes are :Path Of Destruction,Extreme Evolution,Deep Impact,Best of Cactus Jack,Best of Dudley Boyz, and Hardcore History. I reccomend them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
