Gonna buy some tapes. :)

[Champion of Europa]

I've been wanting to get into a new medium of wrestling so I asked a Japanese Wrestling Tape Reviewer where I should start and he recommended me AJPW Feb-April 1993 from High Spots.

So I looked up the price and it's only $10. Sounds awesome.

Rob Van Dam and Stan Hanesen vs. Kenta Kobashi and Toshiaki Kawada. :love:

So, what tapes/DVDs have you bought recently?

[The Mackem]

The last tape I bought was Wrestlemania 13, no lie.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The best of Japan 2001 off of Goldenboytapes.com

SO many hours of wrestling...

I want to get some old WWF DVDs off the net today but I gotta put some money into my bank account and my mum has gone out and I don't know how to write a paying-in slip. :(

[The Mackem]

The people at the bank can fill in the details Ricky, if you ask.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I ordered Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses from Canada... Also gonna do it with Monday Night Wars.

[Ricky]

The people at the bank can fill in the details Ricky, if you ask.Oh well I've sorted it now anyway.

Just ordered WWF Unforgiven 98 and In Your House: Rock Bottom on DVD.

[Ricky]

OK no I haven't, Blackstar have just said they are out of stock and apparently it can take several months till they get them in again. So what with them being WWF ones they will probably never have them again, so I cancelled them.

[SuperSlim]

the last ones I bought were

Monday Night Wars

Bloodbath- steel cage thing

and Undertaker- The Phenom

[Gertner]

i have alot of good tapes featuring Onita vs Mr. Pogo

[BloodRiotZero]

RICKY, you should try Ebay or half.com. Half.com is better I think for this sort of stuff. I found WWF The Best of RAW volumes I & II combo DVD for less than $20 (including s&h) on half. Credit (or Debit) Card needed tho.

[Rob]

CoE - Don't buy that tape. You have been VASTLY mis-adviced.

[Champion of Europa]

Why's that?

I'm not looking forward to it only because of the RVD/Hansen vs. Kobashi/Kawada.

[Disturbed316]

I ordered Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses from Canada... Also gonna do it with Monday Night Wars.

Just got an email from them saying mines been posted, sucka :cool:

[mitch_h]

Last tape I bought was the best of Christopher Daniels... it was like a year ago though :-\

[BigDaddyCool]

The last tape I bought just arrived today, it is a best of Jericho, the WCW years.

[Rob]

Basically because if you are someone who wants to check out some new product, you don't watch wrestling from 11 years ago. If you want a classic Japanese tape to start with than you have to get the 1995 Super J Cup. If you want to get into the product, I'd advise some recent NOAH tapes probably should start with the ***** match between Kobashi and Misawa last year. Always start as current as possible and then work backwards. Imagine wanting to get into WWE and starting by watching a bunch of TV tapings from 1993. It would probably put you off for life! ;)

[Rain Man]

Last tapes I bought=
1. Royal Rumble 2004---cause i was there

I wanna get wrestlemania X-7 on DVD, so I am going to hit up ebay

I'm starting with one particular timeframe and working my way upwards so that I know my stuff from then and get acquainted with older wrestlers and such from Japan.

I don't wanna do the Super J Cup because it is independent of most of the feuds and that would leave me up shit creek with familiarity.

Also, I'm not buying some best of the year thing until I finished the year on TV because as I have heard with Japan, psychology is built up throughout the months and if you see it you may be like "that's it?" because you aren't in on the story.

Anyway, already ordered. I got Funky Fly to order it too. :heart:

[Rob]

Only hardcore smarks think about the months building up bullsh</>it. A good match is a good match.

I only advise because your situation seems like mine when I first got into Japanese wrestling. Unless you are going to keep up to date and by the NOAH TV tapes every month then what's the point really?

[Mr. JL]

Last wrestling tape I bought was

IWA: Kawasaki Dream ... King of Deathmatch tourny.

I just wanna familarize myself with a certain time period, and 1993 seems like a good place to start with Kawada on the uprise, Misawa as the Triple Crown Champion, Stan Hansen doing his legend thing, and Steve Williams with his tag thing. It all works with me.

Besides, I'm not talking about storyline buildup. I'm talking about like certain clues during matches that would help lead up to it all.

Blah, no point in arguing with me, as I have already ordered the tape.

[Rob]

:lol: Not arguing anyway bro. It's up to you what you do and who you listen to. Doesn't affect me either way

[Excellance of Execution]

I purchase Monday Night Wars, and Wrestlemania 17. Not really wrestling related but i also bought UFC Ultimate Knockouts 1+2, now that is a kick ass video.

[Ricky]

Ordered WWF One Night Only & Over The Edge '98 from people on Amazon. One Night Only should hopefully be here by tomorrow as I ordered it on Monday night, but it took until Tuesday night to finish processing the payment. :mad: Over The Edge I ordered earlier and is still processing payment, so hopefully I'll have that by the weekend.

[CANADIAN]

J Cup 95 is the best.

[Rob]

You can get tapes at RFVid.... er no you can't :D

[Ricky]

One Night Only best be here tomorrow. :mad:

[Champion of Europa]

You can get tapes at RFVid.... er no you can't :D

I don't do RFVideo, and now I definitely won't on account of it no longer exists.

Highspots. :)

[Rob]

Bob Barnett is the dude.
