The HUSTLEMANIA shows all have some good stuff. HUSTLE was at its best when it was at its biggest and silliest. A cyborg who shoots invisible lasers battling the powers of LOVE & HUSTLE in the 2007 main event always seemed like the quintessential match for the promotion to me.

Toshiaki Kawada vs. Cactus Jack is still such a what the gently caress to me.

IVP's free video download of the week is the Best of Chris Jericho Vol. 1!quote:http://new.ivpvideos2.com/product_info.php?products_id=8333 Keep in mind that IVP can't sell certain copyrighted material, like ECW, WCW, and WWE matches, so if you've always wondered why these "Best Of" compilations are all of Mexico and Japan, that's the reason why. That being said, this is more Lucha than Puro, but I'm sure everyone would appreciate it just as much. Epsecially since it features Bret Hart's favorite wrestler, El Dandy.

quote:One of the highlights on the DDT calendar is Beer Garden Week. It is a week long series of shows held in Shin-Kiba 1st RING where everyday a different wrestler or group books the show whatever way they want to do. This leads to creative matches and stipulations set up that would never take place in a more normal setting. Highlights from past Beer Garden shows include Kota Ibushi Vs Kenny Omega in a Falls Count Anywhere Best 2 out of 3 Falls match, a Cosplay Royal Rumble, the DDT debut of Mr. #6, a Rock-Paper-Scissors Death Match, a main event tag team match that consisted almost entirely of Lariats and Tsurumi Amon telling a ghost story featuring WCW wrestlers. Why aren't you watching DDT Pro? Kota Ibushi and Masa Takanashi will be working a NOAH show at the Sumo Hall soon, I'm excited for that.

I wish they showed more of those Beer Garden shows than just one hour for the entire week. The shows are easily the best value in pro wrestling, and a must if one is in Japan in August.

I hate that they are burning a Naito/Okada rematch on the group stage, but I think the winner of that and Block B ends up winning the whole thing.
