Best Indy Show of the Year?

[Guest JesusJuiced]

...because I need recommendations, please.

[Guest *KNK*]

There's a long list just for ROH alone.

 

2/25-3YA Night Two

3/12-Back to Basics

5/7-Manhattan Mayhem

5/14-Nowhere to Run

8/12-Redemption

8/13-Punk the Final Chapter

 

(Haven't seen anything beyond that point)

 

Just about every show this year had at least one ***+ Match, although nothing higher then ****3/4.

 

Those are the best wall to wall shows.

IWA-Mid South had a great show on 9/9 (Matter of Pride 2005) and the TPI in September also rocked it.

 

Chikara had great stuff with the Tag Grand Prix and I liked Anniversario Orange as well.

 

All Star Weekend #1 from PWG was great.

I'd thought everybody would answer Hardcore Homecoming, easily.

I went to Midlo on Saturday and I just saw Matter of Pride on DVD not too long ago, and I'll tell you straight up that this past Saturday was a MUCH better show (though MoP was great too).

Nice to see some non-ROH reccomendations.

 

IWA...I haven't seen TPI yet. The Spring Heat 2005/Simply The Best 6 double-shot was very good. The IWA show in Philly was good too.

 

CHIKARA-wise, Night 3 of the Young Lions Cup was probably the best non-Tag Grand Prix show they've ever put on. The crowd were hot and the top three matches were excellent by CHIKARA standards. Not seen it yet, but the CZW Arena (Negative Balance?) was a great show too.

 

From what I've seen of CZW, BotB wasn't great. Violent By Design was pretty good.

TWC International Showdown, it had Styles/Daniels, Punk/Joe and Mitsuhara Misawa/Yoshinari Ogawa/Tiger Emperor v Doug Williams/Scorpio/James Tighe on it, there was nothing on the card that was bad!!

The Negative Balance show was kinda disapointing I thought. The crowd really seemed to kill it in the undercard, though Quackenbush/Claudio and Hero/Kingston make up for it.

 

The TPI shows this year were pretty great. And I hear the IWA-MS October 15th show is something special, though I haven't seen it yet.

 

IWS Un F'N Sanctioned seemed quite good as well, but that was my first IWS show, so maybe I'm biased.

I second IWS Un FN Sanctioned
