Clipped tapes....

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Don't you just hate clipped tapes? I sure as hell do. I see a tape and think "Wow that'd be awesome!" but half of the matches or all are clipped! Like I was on TripleCrownTapes today and I saw this 3 tape set...you know the Misawa Memorial fights and I was all gung-ho to get them but it appears just about every match is clipped.

And then there are times when you see a tape and you can't tell if the matches are clipped....you buy it and they are!

Doesn't clipping just drive everyone nuts!? And how do you get around it? Pretty much all Commercial Releases appear to be clipped.

FMW is bad at clipping the matches, even the DVD extra matches are clipped.

I can't understand the Japanese mania for clipping matches.  You've gotta give the WWF credit, even though most of their matches are ridiculously short, you at least get to see the whole thing.  There's nothing I hate more than having a good match that has parts cut out of it.  And yeah, the tape dealers definitely need to list which matches on a tape are clipped, and which aren't.

I can't really defend clipping, especially since so many great matches seemed to get an axe taken to them. But I'd rather watch 1,000 jip Liger matches with the last eight minutes shown than watch all of the three minute glory of a Test match.

You and me both pal.

 

But I see these awesome M-Pro tapes at Triple Crown but I can't tell what's clipped to hell and what's not. ARGH!

E-mail goofball and ask him about clipping in whatever tape

[Guest HopeSpot]

Buy "The Enforcer: The Best of Masato Tanaka" DVD you will not be disapointed. Other than that I'd steer clear of the Tokyo Pop FMW stuff.

 

And cliiping is the devil.
