From the spoilers, what exactly is a Gotch-style piledriver?

My very first thought was that it must be in reference to Frank Gotch but I don't think he was particularly known for piledrivers.

So is Inoki's bootleg allstar show for charity or is he a completely irredeemable shithead?

Wait, what is this? It's the first I've heard of it. Also, is it going to bomb simply because everything Inoki touches these days turns to poo poo or is there some other reason?

Inoki's motley crew would be lucky to draw 6000 legit on its own. Directly against a supershow, FOR CHARITY, it will be a disaster.

Yeah my mind went exactly the same route as yours. Odd they would use his name to describe the move rather than just saying "Cradle piledriver" like Ditch did.

Because the charity show is the 2nd biggest show of the year and he's trying to ride its coattails like the big-chinned jerkoff he is.

Inoki is crazy. Like he might punch someone in the face because he heard a voice in his head crazy. I suspect the Yakuza may have replaced his brain with Hitlers.

So if Lashley beats Barnett in a wrestling match, does he get Barnett's spot in the Strikeforce tournament?

I am selling anything on the IVPvideos.com site for the ultra low price of $1.25 a disc. Please note that this does not include thermal printing and you will have to order a minimum of five discs. This is the lowest price you will ever find IVPvideos.com discs from me. Shipping will be $5 in the U.S no matter how many discs you order and out of the country orders will be judged on a case by case basis.

Email me at IVPvideosdotcom@gmail.com with your list. PLEASE include the item number with the list because that is how I find the discs to make them.

Cheers, and I added the item numbers when I emailed the guy. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to Japanese wrestling so I figured if I buy "Best of's" by people I know and already like I can use those to introduce their opponents to me. Oh, and I have an undying love and affection for William Regal

He's not someone to go to for '80s AJ. He's got it, but the VQ is weak.

Early MPro, get the Best of Michinoku Pro 12 disc set. Goes through early '98 and gives you all the classics.

-I don't like modern joshi.
-As I mention above, AJ/NJ classics aren't something to get from him
-Modern NJ: G-1 Climax 2002, 2003 and 2004 all have a good diversity of styles
-Modern AJ: I think their strongest period post-split was October 2000 through October 2002. Kawada, Tenryu, Fuchi, Kojima and more were tearing it up. Not sure if any specific show stands out.
-NOAH: July 10th 2004, July 18th 2005, August 19th 2005, September 18th 2005, November 5th 2005
-Big Japan: Depends on if you're more into deathmatches, Sekimoto, or both. There's a series of comps that often have several good DMs per disc but nothing else.
-DDT: April 1, 2007 (he lists it as April 12), the disc labeled 04/23/2009 & 04/30/2009, disc labeled 08/27/2009 & 09/03/2009

For modern stuff you can't go terribly wrong with Sendai Girls by all accounts. Uh, looking around the NEO/JWP 9/25/06 show (under JWP) seems like it wouldn't be too bad if only for the UematsuRan vs. Yoneyama/Leon match which is pretty awesome and the Toyota vs. Hyuga match is pretty good too. And Tamura vs. Nagashima is a pretty good match as well from what I remember. Emi/Yoneyama vs. the Neo Machine Guns might be alright too because 3 of the 4 participants are pretty good (the other is Tanny Mouse).

For the rest... I'd assume the wrestler-specific Best Of comps are good. And maybe Ditch would know better since I'm not familiar with them but I'm guessing the AJW Classics are probably worth the cheap price too. Really, just look around and I guess buy based on what catches your interest.

Kind of a shame there doesn't seem to be any Best Of comps for GAEA or ARSION. Or LCO.
