TravJ1979 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Over the past couple of years I've watched everything from WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, and ROH within the years 2000 and 2004. These promotions have been covered thoroughly due to their availability. However, to be as complete as possible, I'd like to request assistance in flushing out the very best matches from the independent seen outside of these. Simply, any match you would rate at the MOTYC level on par with the big companies. While I plan to do the same with Mexico, Japan, Other ... I'm hoping to not miss anything from my home country. PWG, CHIKARA, CZW, IWA-MID SOUTH, OVW, etc. are just some of the promotions I need help with. Unlike with the companies I've already covered, I would never complete my project if I had to sit through every match from every show from these promotions. While I wasn't sure if this would warrant is own thread, I decided that beyond the scope of my request, this could be a place holder for all Indy recommendations from the 2000's in the event MOTYC sets were to be put together for the first 5 years of the decade, as an addendum to the latter five, or for the sure to come "Best Matches of the 2000's poll."

EricR Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I still love a lot of stuff from that era. The IWA-MS stuff ages tremendously, a lot of the JAPW too. Some of those 6 man CZW tags are still as awesome and fun as they were then. I was at all those APW shows live but haven't seen that stuff since. The Modest/Daniels vs. Robert Thompson/Boyce LeGrande from Vallejo was so great live. That was 4 of my favorite wrestlers all crammed into one match, going a half hour, my total dream match at the time. I need to watch some of those to see if any of it holds up. The Ric Blade stuff will still look as bad now as it did then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoos Leg Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 The 2004 Ted Petty Invitational has a who's-who of all-stars from that era of indy wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Terry Funk vs. Jerry Lawler (JAPW 4/12/03) Terry Funk vs. Jerry Lawler (3PW 5/3/03) Terry Funk vs. Jerry Lawler (MLW 8/22/03) I remember really loving these when I watched the Funk comp. Seem to recall liking the 3PW match the best but it's been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I remember the Funk/Lawler JAPW match being just a billion piledrivers and not much else. The 3PW one was infinitely better, with a ton of fun selling from Funk making Lawler's punches look like murder attempts and Jerry working the Arena crowd into a frenzy. Haven't seen the MLW one.

Tim Cooke Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 From Phil's list, these are my favorites: Mike Mayhem vs. Low-Ki (FWA 4/15/00) - Ki's first great match and really well put together. Lots of selling, which is strange for the time period. Red vs. Low-Ki (UCW 9/14/01) - super fast, almost movie like spots that are being done the first time without the ability for retakes American Dragon vs. Low-Ki (JAPW 6/7/02) - my favorite Ki/Danielson match. Worked shoot style and would have fit into RINGS in the late 90's, that's how good it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
