ben. Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 For the top 93 matches so far, has the footage already been located on YouTube or since I plan to start hunting this stuff down, should I save the links and videos I find for them?

Not everything is up on the interwebs (especially anything that has been yanked due to the streaming services) One of my projects for later this week is to link to the matches that are up. But that ain't going to happen until Wednesday at the earliest
Red is Dead Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Can we recommend matches here or do we just point and laugh at you when you don't choose the ones we want you to choose? This being the internet and all... 1

But that ain't going to happen until Wednesday at the earliest Sounds good, I'm pulling together links from WWE Network, NJPW World, and YouTube right now as I watch through the matches. It's not all free but thought it could be a good start and I'll share what I find.
BillThompson Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Question, are you guys planning on adding old reviews or maybe even doping new reviews? I know it means more work, but I really think you guys are doing something great here and having reviews from the DVDVR crew on there would make this thing the best thing to happen to wrestling in forever.

I am not adding reviews for the stuff from the matches from DVDVR 100 Nor will I re-review something (I will link to old review) - though I may or may not add comments Everything else is up to the imagination - y'all just have to wait and see
Curt McGirt Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Since we all want to comment we might as well review them ourselves here if we feel so inclined.
Web Conn Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I assumed if we suggested a match it was up to us to write a couple sentences about it, and why we think others should watch it.
Chaos Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Are we going to do this in the format of the books too where everything is listed in Chronological order, so someone could organically work through the list from beginning to end if they wanted?
RIPPA Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 HA! No fucking chance I can make a chronological order when I am all done - assuming I find dates for everything 1
nate Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 This should end up as one of those "1001 _____ to do Before You Die" books that Ollies seems to have, well, 1001 of.
BillThompson Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Has there been a post made yet that started providing links to matches that are available online? No big deal if there hasn't, but didn't want it to slip between my fingers so to speak.
BillThompson Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Oh, and the Tiger Mask/Dynamite Kid match you have listed, it says All Japan, but do you mean the New Japan match from 08-05-1982?
RIPPA Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 Probably - it's comical how many mistakes we made in the DVDVR 100 I have the next post almost done - just have to add one matcch. Looking for links for first 100 will probably be my "bored at my mom's project" 2

RIPPA Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 The next installment DVDVR "Staples" The next installment will be LARGE - just not sure when it will be done as I am balancing traveling, the next DVDVR issue and general laziness. 2
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 In that "Staples" link, every videos loads as WOW Riot vs. Lotus which I secretly wish it remains that way forever for reasons of DVDVR whimsy and obfuscation. "I ain't here to make it any easier for you dang kids, look 'em up on yer own. Why, back in my day, we hadda go get a money order and a stamp and... WHAT'S A MONEY ORDER?!?!?!" and/or kinda like when the Zen sword master insists that everything to be learned is in that one basic cut and after you travel the world and learn everything else, you realize he was right. I hate when that happens. - RAF 1
RIPPA Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 They all load normally for me (and I checked on multiple devices)
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Dammit. Now it works as stated. Disappointment... - stoopid chrome, RAF
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Jacklyn Hyde is legit one of my favorite gimmicks. Patti Pep had an awesome entrance song. Poison was a good worker. where's my box set?, RAF 2
S.K.o.S. Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 From the linked DVDVR #129 review of the Shane-Angle street fight: Angle then goes to overhead belly to belly through the second glass panel. When prop doesn’t break, Angle decides to protect Shane from taking another headfirst bump to the floor on the belly-to belly. His strategy is to adjust so as to catch Shane’s head flat on his own face to keep it from hitting the floor. Not smart. This is where I would guess Angle got his tooth knocked out, and apparently lodged in the back of Shane's head. One of the quotes that I consider as all-time classics for whatever reason is tomk saying something like "I mean Sabu did a lot of crazy stuff in his day but I don't remember him ever trying to catch someone with his face." Thought he said it in that review, but it must have been on the board somewhere.
Curt McGirt Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I had to watch that again and it remains the best CZW match of all time.
DouglasC Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I'm amazed that Midlothian Middle School tag match isn't among the Staples as well. Although if you are going to choose a match with a spanking spot, Riot vs. Lotus was a better choice in that regards.
