Just got my dvd's I ordered and I must say I highly recommend ALL of them. In fact of you're someone like me who is just now really getting into pwg, almost ANY pwg dvd will hook you, as these matches are of amazing quality/wrestling/comedy. Not only that, but almost every match goes at least 15-20 minutes.
I'll review one of my DVD's and the rest later cause I gots stuff to do :0
Based on a True Story
1. Franky Kazarian vs Scorpio Sky: Both these guys went all out for this match. This match was very entertaining with MANY near falls towards the end, and I'm not sure what Kaz calls his finishing move off the top rope, but that was very sick. The powerslam on the floor was also pretty brutal.
2. Colt Cabana vs Rocky Romero: Cabana is EXTREMELY funny in the ring, and pulls it off very well, unlike WWE's attempt at comedy matches. Very good match for a laugh, but these two guys also display impressive technical wrestling skills as well.
3. Karl Andersen, Bino Gambino, Scott Lost vs TJ Perkins, Nemesis, Disco Machine: Very good six-man tag match, with each man getting a good amount of time in the ring. I also love Karl Andersen's screams throughout the match
4. Chris Bosh vs Kevin Steen: I was VERY impressed by both men in this match. Steen really amazed me, not only with his strength, but at how this guy can move for his size. Chris Bosh really portrays himself so well as a cockyass dude, and it even shows in his ringwork which is very cool. Shorter Terms - Amazing match.
5. Super Dragon vs Ronin: Seeing as I was really hyped to see my first Super Dragon match, I was a bit dissapointed with this one. This match was very slow paced with lots of ground/rest holds. But, I think I read that Super Dragon had already been injured previously, so I think that could have easily affected his ring work. Not a terrible match by any means, just could have been better I think.
6. Cape Fear vs Los Luchas (Tag Team championship): I absolutely loved this match! Los Luchas are an amazing tag team, and I love their high flying/luche libre style wrestling. Now on to Cape Fear! El Generico is quickly turning into one of my favorite wrestlers with not only his ringwork and unique moveset, but with how amazing this guy is at selling moves lol. I hadn't heard much of Quicksilver before, but this guy really impressed me and I was actually really bummed out when I read that he doesnt wrestle anymore (correct me if I'm wrong please!) Very very good/fast paced tagteam match, also my match of the night for this dvd.
7. Human Tornado vs Joey Ryan (PWG World Championship): One word explains this match; brutal. Very stiff hardcore action from these two, including beer bottles (that part was sick!) ladders, tables, chairs, barbed wire, and even a sickass Canadian Destroyer off the stage through a table! Absolutely loved this match with things really picking up in the later parts of the match, with the last moveset by Tornado being awesome. Very good match!
As you can see, I was very impressed with Based on a True Story, and for anyone who has not seen it, please, GET IT! :D
