True! Nothing else about MLW's product is drawing me back to it, though. You'd think a promotion that books so many potential style clashes would be more interesting, but here we are.

Their Royal Rumble knockoff is at least kind of fun and they still do War Games despite not being able to call it that. That plus Jacob Fatu are their big selling points IMO.

However, I will still not watch their very boring show and just hope that one day Fatu and Salina de la Renta come to AEW.

ASW 8 NGT I & II (Includes Castagnoli vs Hero going long, and the Bucks vs Strong & Aries)
ASW 6 Ngt I(Low Ki vs Bryan Danielson for the title and the Muscle Outlawz vs the Bucks)
Steen Wolf (Steen vs Generico ladder match, Ricochet vs Chuck Taylor, and the Bucks vs Future Shock. Oh, and the greatest PWG moment ever)
Fear (I won't spoil this because it'll ruin said greatest moment, but the main event is really something else, and it also has Dick Togo vs Generico)

I'm partial to the Generico Compilation though you would probably get to see a variety of wrestlers in one of the PWG Sells Out compilations. In term of an event, you can't really go wrong with a Battle Of Los Angeles since the event takes place over a couple of nights so there are multiple discs to buy. I like Steen Wolf for the main event, which is outstanding and the cool front and back cover art.

I was watching MLW semi regularly until the first Battle Riot and thought the first one was so incredibly boring and disappointing that I basically gave up on the product.

Add Guerre Sans Frontieres which has my favorite PWG match ever, Chris Hero defending the strap vs Danielson. Great, great match, one of many matches Danielson has had that I feel should have been given 5 Stars. Also has the Bucks teaming with Brian Kendrick vs CIMA and the MCMG, and Shingo Takagi vs Generico.

Quick piece of advice: avoid early PWG. Lotsa SoCal guys who kinda suck, lotsa LOLRACISM stuff. And multiple Joey Ryan pushes.

The idea is fun, at least, and I love the Rumble in general so it's an easy way in for me.

I will not disagree that it can be pretty boring (as with all things MLW) if not done right, but it's enough of a spin on a concept I love to at least pique my interest.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

There's enough parts of MLW that intrigue me or I enjoy that I can usually find it a really easy watch. But no, it doesn't come together into a "good show" very often. Still, guys like MJF, Jacob Fatu, and Air Wolf were exposed to me first through MLW so like... it feels like it has some value as a stepping stone and exposure promotion. And Contra Unit is way better done than Retribution.

Professional Wrestling Gorilla are doing their big sale, what's a good set of DVD's to get?

If you are looking for AEW vs NXT with a sprinkling of NJPW, the 2015-2017 discs have a lot good matches we probably won’t see again for a while. Specific recommendations based on the list available would be Mystery Vortex III, Don’t Sweat the Technique, Thirteen & 2016
BOLA, if you are interested in seeing Liger and an on excursion Hiromu.

Said 19th anniversary show is headlined by Rey Mysterio vs. Low-Ki, which is a must-see for anyone who's never checked it out. Easily the best thing from Rey's dream match tour. (Also, I had never seen the official version before, as I had been told that the DVD had bad audio sync issues. I guess that happened in reencoding or authoring, because the audio syncs up fine here.)

Need to see Hero vs Kingston one final time with Kingston finally going over for a title

The first time Hero left WWE, his matches in PWG were otherworldly. In that stretch, he was definitely in the conversation for best in the world.

I would love an AEW run. He matches up with heavy and lightweights so perfectly. Kingston, Mox, Omega, Archer, the serious vet v Orange Cassidy, Darby, Janela, give him a partner and give him another shot at the Lucha Bros.

Sign him, Coward Tony!

The Collective branding is basically meaningless and Brett is too broke right now to fight it so they might as well just let WWE trademark it and then run WM 2022 weekend as The Unit.

This is my only, I guess positive, who the hell buys these shows or goes to these shows due too name anyway. It's scummy as gently caress but WWE is really stupid if the think taking away the name will cause even one single person to not watch.

They're petty enough that they think they can bomb SEO so that looking up "The Collective wrestling" will just outright bury GCW on Google, it's about trying to make sure WWE is just synonymous with ALL wrestling. They'll settle for .4 ratings every year for a decade if it meant there was no competition

That's pretty generic for a trademark, even if it just applies to wrestling. I'm with it being mostly for seo burying.
