Jim's Wrestling Reviews Archive

[Jim]

Since a poster kept bugging me about making a thread, I finally decided to take the plunge with a review archives thread. I'll keep a link of it in my sig, in case anyone cares. If not, just ignore this and carry on with your day while this thread gets buried with newer topics.

Feel free to bump any threads if you have any comments to further the discussion (IE. Debating me on an opinion or a match. Not just replying with "Good show")

Will you take requests sir?

[Jim]

Will you take requests sir?

As long as it doesn't completely repulse me, sure.

[Shock]

I think ECW One Night Stand 2005 and 2006 are must-reviews. I'd love to hear your thoughts on those two shows as they're totally different to almost every other WWE PPV ever.

[The Prince]

Did you ever think to do reviews about Japan shows?

[Jim]

Did you ever think to do reviews about Japan shows?

I don't really watch too many full Puro shows. So it's never been much of a concern.

I will happy if you review New Years Giant Series 1999. But if you can't find it, (because I can't find it at XWT), you can review, if you want NJPW's Super J Cup 1994.

I noticed that you hadn't reviewed the following PPVs:

King of the Ring 1994
Summer Slam 1997
Royal Rumble 1996
WCW Starrcade 1999

I'd love to see your reviews for any of these at some point if/when you have the time.
