I'm in for this. I got the HIghspots network and WWE Network.

Some of this was really good and other parts were pretty chaotic and didn't fit. I enjoyed Pimpi who was working overtime for the heels. He was bumping all over the place and I thought his comedy worked. Even the ass biting. Good to see Salsero who I liked as Kendo and even as the fake Pierroth son. Olimpico had some nice dives. The other rudos that weren't Pimpi were pretty rough. Especially Gran Markus who almost blew the low blow finish in the third. Good match.

I never thought Liger looked right with AAA guys and this proves it. Electro is awful in this just looking awkward and doing DX chops. Abismo wasn't bad on the apron and sold good. Chad is right about Garza. Just an off night and not worth watching.

The audience no selling Arturo Rivera's commentary was funny. He stopped after a couple minutes. Yeah the Tirantes stuff kinda ruined this.The crowd was booing hard the first couple times he did it and then stopped caring. Apache was pretty good in this and Oscar seemed to have a hard time with his tie. Good exibition match without the Tirantes antics.

This was almost like Torture porn between the salt, lemons and the wasabi being thrown on Zandig. Zandig gets his revenge by doing the Mother F'n bomb on Homna to the outside and Homna bounces off the floor. That was sick. It's probably a good thing this was clipped cause I doubt the full 15 minute match was good.

This was weird. Most of the Big Japan guys offense is WX powerbombing or suplexing Yamakawa onto one of the czw guys. Pain and Wifebeater didn't look good in a "clean" Big japan match. Really bad but short.

"More hardcore than European Porn" AJ Styles was pretty good in this. He took some vicious bumps and actually laid it in on the weapons shots. I liked the spot where Trash tried to hit him with the stop sign from the top but Aj hits a spin kick to counter. Finish was a little awkward but it worked.

Palmer's anti fatman fat man gimmick is so indie but funny. Hero looked ok in this. Kinda reminded me of Dreamer in early ECW as the crowd was against him early on but once he hit the powerbomb on the chairs on the outside, they were behind him. Not a great match but better than the other IWA matches I've seen in 2000 so far.

Well at least this "shoot" match didn't features any irish whips or lockups. Kickboxer actually lived up to the gimmick and Richard played a good chicken shit heel. This looked like it took place at a ICP concert.

A lumberjack first blood match is a weird stipulation to have. The camera work makes this hard to watch as it's focusing on the ring post. From what I saw it was pretty bad. Chad is right about the racial overtones. It's about a 7 on the Jamie Dundee in KAW scale.

Man Kris Kloss's Joey Styles impersonation is really bad in this. Especially when he screams when the sign goes down. I liked Rivera ripping the fans for throwing shit at Funk while he was holding the branding iron. As for the match, it was a 2000 Sabu match. Lots of botches including the fire and that piledriver looked like it sucked for Funk. I know WCW was in the shitter around this time but I'm shocked they let Funk do this.

Not sure what Pierroth hits Ano with but it sure knocked him out. Lots of blood in the 5 minutes shown with Villano and Perro taking out Pierroth. Pierroth is good at taking a beating and being bloody. Even if he does a Lou Albano bladejob right in front of the camera.

What a weird match this is. Only guy I've heard of is Asian Cougar and he was decent in this. I like how Heaven is just a guy in Jorts. I'm guessing Extraterrestrial Life is the alien looking guy. He goes in and out of character and it's kinda hilarious. I wonder if Quack was watching Zipang for ideas in Chikara cause you can see a lot of the comedy wrestling stuff that is popular today in this match. Yoshida and Adachi work the ropes surprisingly well for a Z level Japanese indie. Interesting match to watch for sure.

This topic has people's twitter handles but hasn't been updated in a while http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31300-twitter-handles/ Most of the wrestlers that have blocked me on twitter are the vanity searchers that will block anything negative even if you don't @ them. People like Kalisto, Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, Aliyah(NXT) are the ones that come to mind. Kalisto blocks pretty much anyone or at least used to when he was in NXT.

This wasn't very good. The local guys were alright and Merced was trying but Markus was awful and Pimpi's comedy was pretty tame. Some good dives but nothing worth watching. I did like Markus sandbagging Mosco on his dive.

This appears to be for the WWC hardcore title which Pierroth won when he toured Puerto Rico a couple years before this. I wouldn't call this good as it's pretty slow and the constant interference from the woman and Wagner was annoying. The atmosphere is crazy with people throwing shit into the ring all match. I guess they are following the Puerto Rican tradition of the 80's. Third fall was pretty good and I liked the finish.

Man the rudos get destroyed so much in this match it almost crosses the line between revenge into feeling sorry for the rudos. Pierroth takes a beating. That VCR shot to the head was wild. It's weird seeing something like that in CMLL. Good stuff and it's nice to see the tecnicos in charge for once. Perro's run in was great too vs Mascara.

Apache and Oscar were good but I think I was most impressed by Jody. Sure he's a flippy guy but I think he does it well. The spot where the rudos do the catapult throw and he lands on his feet was impressive. I also liked his dive with Oscar when the tecnicos got a little offense. Sill, this was too much rudo beat down for my taste and it wasn't the good rudo beatdowns like with the Infernales.The Vipers weren't up to Apache's level. OK match.

It's hard enough to tell Antifaz and Safari apart usually but now it's impossible with them dressed as Felino. I liked it though. OK match with lots of high flying from the tecnicos. Pretty short but that's usual. Nice to see Violencia.

I thought Mosco and Super crazy were the best guys in this match. They tried hard to make Parka and Dandy's stuff look good. Nice to see Shu el Guerrero who is one of my favorite old guys that was around IWRG for years. There were a lot of miscommunication spots. Especially in the third with Mosco and Parka who is not very good outside of Monterrey I think. Fun match but not must see.

The outdoor venue really helps the atmosphere in this match. Especially during the entrances and for the brawling. I didn't think Toyota looked too bad and pretty much held this together. I'm not that familar with Eagle but she didn't impress me much. Lots of brawling and Toyota doing bumps off the light post in this OK mathc.

Millonario is one of the Officales in current IWRG. He's pretty good. Thought this was alright if not a little long. Always nice to see Suicida and he and Multifacetico did some nice dives in the third.

I can see why some people wouldn't like this. It starts off alright with a big rudo beatdown and leads into the Parka/Pierroth feud. Then it breaks into a Monterrey match when the Parkas take over. This is basically the Monterrey style. Lots of comedy and ref antics. Some of the refs make Tirantes look like Tommy Young. This gets really bad in the mid 2000s when Konan Big's big push starts. As for the match, it was alright but not very exciting. I'll give Antifaz credit for trying.

Lawler left Power Pro weeks before this. I think it was towards the summer. When he returned in 2000, he mentioned he left because Randy kept putting himself in top feuds of the WWF guys like Angle. This was the final straw that led him to going to KAW in January and forming MCW.

This was clipped to all hell but what was shown was nice. Rey Bucanero takes two sick bumps to the outside that would make Psicosis and Jerry estrada blush. I didn't realise he was like that. Tecnicos hit some nice dives in the 2nd. I liked Satanico's reaction when Safari tries to do the Marco dive to the ring. The Felino/Satanico double pin reminds me of the Solar/Navarro finish. Seemed weird in this.
