WAR - Wrestle and Romance/Wrestle Association R

[Troy]

Lynch is sending me his list of SWS & WAR. Anything uncommon I should seek?

[Riderman Hongo]

The Saddest thing about this promotion is many the available matches or tapes of the promotion are clipped.

On Most of the tapes, only the semi-main or the main events are unclipped.

Well that's another reason why I'm going through Lynch. He usually has stuff most don't like handhelds

It depends on what you mean by uncommon. Watching WAR and SWS in 2018 is kinda uncommon

 

Personally, I'd steer away from the WWF heavy SWS shows. Depends on who/what you like though. I tried to go through some of lesser known matches for both companies earlier in this thread as did others. Its kinda the non acclaimed WAR thread.

 

Whatever you end up getting, post your reviews, thoughts here. Keep the WAR/SWS love going!

I seen a few handhelds of interest but ended up getting the 20 volume commercial set because I thought it was the best bang for my buck

Very nice, sounds massive but, a good investment. WAR/SWS is some timeless wrestling done right...plus some wackiness too.
