I've been compiling a list of Peroresu tapes to get + one WCW tape, so far i have
1. Best of Minchinoku Pro Vol 1.
2. Highspots.com's Bloodiest Matches ever Vol 2.
3. WCW Souled Out '98, because i want to see Big show get dropped on his head by Kevin Nash.
I'm looking for some of the best Japanese events past or present, that are out there, that are out there, any suggestions?
If you wanna see Giant dropped on his head just download the video clip off the net. Theres no point in buying the tape, its not going to be very good with matches like that is it?
Souled Out 98 actually was alright...it had Benoit vs Raven, Jericho vs Rey Misterio, a crazy 8 man lucha opener, Bret Hart's first WCW match vs Flair....and two abysmal main events in Nash vs Giant (the dropped on his head match) and Luger vs Savage. Yeesh.
For Japanese tapes, go out and get Super J Cup 94. Its the first thing I ever got and its great. Some familiar faces to keep you interested, like Chris Benoit (Wild Pegasus), Dean Malenko, and Eddie Guerrero (Black Tiger), and its wicked wrestling.
That's a good one. Any of the Super J Cups are good shows, but 94 especially. Of course Dreamslam and Dreamslam II are a must. I also recommend Goldenboy's Best of Super J tape. Just solid stuff. It also has his last matches as the nWo Sting before becomind Super J. Whatever happened to him anyway?
Now THATS an understatement. Yeah sure you said dreamslam I and II are musts but a more appropriate way of saying it is to say they are arguably the best two Supercards EVER. Not a gravy bowl in sight, plenty of gush though...
"Marge, I agree with you in THEORY...In THEORY Communism works. In THEORY..."
Yeah, well, I figured if Megatron actually took the Dreamslam suggestion he'd be in for a pleasant surpise. And for the record, I would have to rank Dreamslam I as the greatest event of all time. If someone knows of a better one, please enlighten me(especially sincve I'll need a copy of it
Another very solid show is the show promoted by Masato Tanaka last year called Complete Players. Not on the same legendary level, but a great card top to bottom, especially if you like the garbage style without insane violence.
