    Can some recommend some comps?

    I'm fairly new to puro, as I only have a small selection of tapes at the moment, but I was told by friends that to get into puro, the best thing to do, is to get Title Histories and comps to catch up on the history. I got one of the title histories coming in the mail (IWGP, can't wait, along with the history of Misawa-Kawada!!!) and I wondering now on what comps should I get to start off with. Some recomendations I've recieved are:
    - Keiji Mutoh/Great Muta
    - Kenta Kobashi
    - Mitsuharu Misawa
    - Masahiro Chono
    - Jun Akiyama
    - Jumbo Tsurta

    Does anyone have recommendations on what ones I should definately get?

    Another question, should I get say a 3hr comp of Kobashi or the Complete comp, which is 5 tapes long?

    EDIT: what I meant by the above question is in buying comps should I go for a shorter one or a longer one...

    Thanks

    Jushin Thunder Liger would be the way to go if you are looking for some great junior wrestling. By the way guys, I just found out the other day that Lazor Tron was Hector Guererro hahahah

    I'd say go for kobashi or misawa comp. There are sure to be some excellent matches.

    Thanks for the reply, but I was wondering on what ones that should be a MUST. Or are you implying that I should just find my favorite workers and get comps of them?

    Anyone?

    I'd say the top priority would be the TC and IWGP history to discover top wrestlers from each promotion.

    Then Misawa-Kawada-Kobashi-Hansen is probably a bunch of wrestlers you'd be looking at. Same for Chono-Muto/Muta-Hashimoto.

    I thought the Vader comp from highspots.com was good if you are a Vader fan.

    When I started buying tapes, I got 'em from the Wrestling Emporium, and I started with the 1994 Super J Cup and the history of the IWGP Jr. Hvwt Title(a two tape set). To me, those are good places to start for junior stuff. I highly recommend getting 'em from Highspots.
