forkboy84 posted:Man, this does mean I lost the complete run of WCW Saturday Night I downloaded years ago and barely started but swore I'd eventually I'd watch. That sucks. Years ago I downloaded the complete run of Raw, Nitro, Smackdown and Thunder and I'm not even sure why, some half-assed "it'll be good to have these" idea but they ended up just sitting on burned DVDs till they got thrown out during a move. The annoying thing is that I thought the WWE Network when it first started would be a great archive option to ensure the preservation of the material in the best possible quality, except of course the reality of streaming services has been that they edit stuff, change music, alter the crowd sounds etc and it's all bullshit  Then you have things like All Japan and New Japan not actually owning the broadcast/redistribution (?) rights for a lot of their golden era stuff even though they have their own archive/streaming services now, and if it wasn't for the likes of Ditch or other archives a lot of that stuff would just be inaccessible for most of us.

Yeah, I still have the ECW TV run on another hdd, in incredibly bad 4th or 5th gen VHS rip quality, but it has the music that's so essential to the show and presentation I need Natural Born Killaz playing over my New Jack

Don't want to step on your toes forkboy but I don't mind going through Puwota for the week and getting something down, though it'll just be names and start times rather than the fantastic amount of effort you put in to get all the cards as well

I see that Stardom has a thing on their schedule that exposed tattoos need to be covered with a jacket before entry, wonder if that'd be the same for TJPW. Wasn't an issue at the DDT and All Japan shows I went to while I was over there

What is this show? I couldn't quite figure out what promotion it is, but it seems like it has a bunch of wrestlers from different promotions so some special show?

It's a show put on by Big Japan wrestlers Fuminari Abe and Takuya Nomura (otherwise known as Astronauts if you read the MOTYC thread) and is basically a love letter to the shootstyle promotion BattlArts which closed over a decade ago. If you remember the Noah wrestler Muhammad Yone being a double hard bastard it's because he came up through that promotion

3 matches in and this Abe/Nomura show whips. I did not expect to see "brother" YASSHI, perhaps the least interesting guy in a stable with Punch Tominaga (original Natural Vibes) be as great at shootstyle as he was and then he pulls up the headband and starts wailing in the headbutts. Dope as gently caress

(Also fun thing I realised I've lost, the template I used for the weekly schedule that made putting it together a bit faster, with all the times & urls for streaming services & poo poo so that's a minor nuisance & I'm definitely relieved I don't have to get this all done today) forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Oct 13, 2023 |

If you are the kind of person to read this thread, you must watch Nomura vs Abe. It is on Wrestle Universe so you NOAH and DDT freaks already have access. It is as good as advertised and the best modern BattlArts style will produce. Must watch, ***** from me

I recommend R-Studio. I've gotten files from a few broken drives using that.
