Loss Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 You're a good man, bravesfan. I think monthly sounds like the way to go, because you could seriously do it for less than the price of a cup of coffee every day. [/sally Struthers] Seriously, I've been wanting to figure out a way to get more footage out that could be watched and discussed for months now and every idea I've thought of has had roadblocks. This just may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Cooke Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If we do it monthly, I suggest 2 DVD's/4 hours of footage. We could do it like this in terms of breaking down matches: Classic AJPW (1970's-1985) Memphis Mid South Classic Lucha Current Lucha Current US Indy Japan My suggestion for Volume 1 would be as follows: DVD #1 Shoehi Baba vs. Billy Robinson (7/24/76 - AJPW) El Hijo del Santo vs. Negro Casas (7/18/87 - WWA) Bryan Danielson vs. Homicide (4/24/04 - ROH) Yuki Ishikawa vs. Alexander Otsuka (9/11/05 - Big Mouth Loud) Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee (6/6/83 - Memphis) Capos vs. Perros del Mal (10/15/05 - CMLL) Eddy Guerrero vs. Big Show (4/15/04 - WWE) Cutting non-relevant ring intros, this woud fit on 1 disc I believe. I believe variety is the key. You have lots of everything on this disc. European mat work, lucha mat work, shoot style mat work, big vs. small, lucha brawl, memphis brawl, current indy. ************************************************** If the DVD didn't work, I have another possible idea. Someone would have to walk us through the process. DVD rippers are free and easy to download. If we wanted to streamline the process, we could rip the match off of the DVD on to the computer, shrink the file (that is the part I don't know how to do), and upload it for this group to watch and then talk about. This may be easier than sending out DVD's, especially to non-US people. The disadvantage lies in having to watch on your computer and downloading. I don't have this capability on my home computer (my brothers laptop does but he is at school) but the process of ripping is really easy. Definetly want to be able to get people watching stuff they might not otherwise watch. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Maybe we could have the option of DVD or You Tube, with each person making their own choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Famous Mortimer Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yea, really don't want to watch again after I spent 30 minutes already watching it once. It certainly wasn't bad but is not a match I would ever want to see again. Let me propose something. How about a Bi-Weekly "Book Club" concept in that every two weeks, a DVD gets distributed with 2 hours of footage. Everyone who gets the DVD *MUST* talk about all of the matches on it. I think this would work better than a Match of the Week that everyone must own in order to decide which match to watch. I could invision DVD #1 being: (just an example off of the top of my head to show the variety) 10/15/05 Perros del Mal vs. Los Capos - CMLL 12/30/85 Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee - Memphis 11/05/05 Bryan Danielson vs. Roderick Strong - ROH 07/24/76 Shoehi Baba vs. Billy Robinson - AJPW And then if there was extra room, throw on fillers such as music videos (Lawler/Dundee music videos rule) or something like the recent Pacquio/Morales fight from HBO if we want to mix it up some times. Just my thoughts... Tim This is a fine idea from Tim. The NMB DVD Club could be a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dangerous A Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I'd be willing to shell out for the blank DVD's if goodhelmet and/or Tim are willing to burn the comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Well, goodhelmet may not be up to that right now since I know he's busy, so let's not expect him to do it unless he says he can and wants to. I'd be happy to take the responsibility, but for some reason, I'm cursed and every DVD I burn has some type of fatal flaw, so I have no idea what I'm doing basically. We'll figure it all out in time.

JHawk Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Count me in if this ever gets off the ground. I really need a DVD recorder to helps some of you guys out with projects like these though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm in this project if I can find another way to pay instead of PayPal. EDIT: I might be able to copy DVDs. Depends if I have to time to do it, though.
