I'm a Joshi newbie - be gentle!

Hey guys, I'm not only new to this board, but I'm new to this whole joshi thing. I thought about buying some japanese stuff for some time, but just a couple months ago, I started getting some joshi tapes. It's addictive stuff, and I'm blown away by the athleticism as well. I bought an ARSION (RIP?) compilation and a copy of the AJW Big Egg show from '94, just to get a feel of what it's all about. Now I can't get enough of it. I was wondering if there's some other shows you guys could reccommend to me? I've thought about scoping some stuff featuring the Crush Girls, as well. Let me know.

Everyone here told me that the best ones to get are

Dreamslam 1 and 2
Dreamrush
Wrestlemarinepiad
and Big Egg, but you got that already

They also say that Arsion from 98-99 is really good stuff

Hey, thanks for that. By the way, I know that Wrestlemarinpiad is a yearly thing, so which year are you referring to? Well, I'm definitely scoring some more ARSION soon, it really sucks that the promotion is technically over (absorbed) already, I really think they had something. Maybe the style was too wierd for the big masses, but at least it saved or revived the careers of many wrestlers thought to be midcarders for life, Yagi and Yoshida especially.

I'm assuming they meant all the Wrestlemarinepiads from the early 90s.

I have only seen 91 and 94 at certain places, Its hard to find alot of these tapes. I heard that JWP was really good during that time too, but I can't find any so far though

Punq's website is a good place to go for match ratings once you figure out what type of Joshi you like.
