I'm ordering a couple of PWG DVD's off their site today, so I had a couple of Q's, that perhaps some of you could A.
- How long do they take to ship out? I've heard a couple of horror stories about how they don't exactly have the best shipping and handling, and can take a long ass time to actually get to a cutomer. I was wondering if thats still true/ever was true.
- Do they hold all kinds of neat specials like ROH tend to do?
- Is choosing alternate commentary difficult, or is it just by the touch of a button?
- Which one had the lucha drinking game ;D?

- Do they hold all kinds of neat specials like ROH tend to do? sort of. they continuously sell a four-pack of their last dvds for $40. right now they've got: 1) Roger Dorn Night, and Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Title Tournament: Night One & Two ($35) 2) Album of the Year, 70/30, and All Star Weekend V: Nights One & Two 3) Passive Hostility, Based on a True Story, Guitarmageddon II: Armorygeddon, and Holy Driver Down 4) Self Titled, Horror Business, and All Star Weekend IV: Nights One & Two also since they are partnered throught Highspots.com, Highspots has cheap deals for PWG dvds. they got a grab bag right now where you can order any three old PWG dvds for $20 just hit "Audio" on your remote |

Well what that guys said.
Actually I'll also add Based on a True Story, DDT 4, and of course Roger Dorn Night with the surprise American Dragon Win.
Use DDT 4, Bola '06-'07, and any of the ASW as introductions to the company using big names competing against local guys.
you will become a fan of Joey Ryan, Human Tornado, and others, just by watching the extras.

Well, made my first PWG purchase (along with Good Times, Great Memories, and a Best of Dynamite Kid collection) from High Spots. I got night 2 of DDT 4. I got Night 2 first, because AmDrag vs. Joey Ryan.
I wound up spending around 58.00, which is pretty much the most I've ever spent on wrestling.
I think I have a problem.

Well, let's see. I placed an order with them on October 29th and have yet to get the DVDs. I've emailed them numerous times and gotten no response yet. So yeah... go with www.highspots.com instead for your PWG fix. They were having a "3 DVDs for 19.99 sale", which trumps anything from PWG's site. As far as what to get: *Reason For The Season (one of their best cards with an epic CM Punk vs. Super Dragon match) *Use Your Illusion 4 (the Super Dragon vs. Ryan 1 hour epic plus a Chikara showcase match) *Free Admission (awesome Danielson vs. Lost match) *Guitarmageddon (incredible Steen/Excalibur vs. Super Dragon/Disco match) *Astonishing X-Mas (the INSANE Super Dragon vs. Steen Guerilla Warfare Death Match) *Battle Of Los Angeles 2006 Night 3 (El Generico vs. CIMA is an easily MOTYC and many call it the best PWG match ever) *All Star Weekend IV Night 1 (Motor City Machine Guns vs. Jacobs/Black and AJ Styles vs. PAC) *All Star Weekend IV Night 2 (the must see El Generico vs. PAC MOTYC plus a sweet Kings Of Wrestling vs. Motor City Machine Guns match) *Based On A True Story (the brutal Ryan vs. Human Tornado title match) *Guitarmageddon II (the BLOODY Cape Fear vs. Richards/Strong title match) *All Star Weekend V Night 2 (Joe vs. Low-Ki!) *DDT4 Nights 1 and 2 (some of the best tag matches of the year) *Battle Of Los Angeles 2007 Nights 1, 2, and 3 (awesome awesome stuff) Oh, I see you already ordered. Nevermind then. |

Plus I never have any problems with shipping from them, but then again I don't live outside of California so I'm not really sure if that makes a considerable difference. I know for a fact that some fans outside the U.S. have ordered from PWG directly and received their DVDs without a hassle, so I can't really explain why they wouldn't ship your order as fast as possible. I know if you pre-order a show along with already-available shows they tend to just hold your order to ship all at once, so that might cause a delay for your order unless you place two different orders (pre-orders and non-pre-orders). But yeah, PWG is good people, so I prefer dealing with them directly instead of Highspots. |

I love PWG with all my heart, but after this rotten experience I'll NEVER order directly from them again.
I just checked, it's actually been THREE months yesterday since I placed my order. I've sent them 6 emails which have gone unanswered, and I'm unable to file a Paypal fraud claim since this type of transaction isn't covered.
The last email I got from them was right before they went to Europe, saying they'd ship the DVDs right away. Yeah right.

I mean I got both nights of DDT IV for just 15 bucks |

I mean I got both nights of DDT IV for just 15 bucks Haha, nice. Every now and then I kinda miss PWG running shows at F&S, that place had a kinda weird charm, plus the first PWG show I ever went to was held there. I love PWG with all my heart, but after this rotten experience I'll NEVER order directly from them again. I just checked, it's actually been THREE months yesterday since I placed my order. I've sent them 6 emails which have gone unanswered, and I'm unable to file a Paypal fraud claim since this type of transaction isn't covered. The last email I got from them was right before they went to Europe, saying they'd ship the DVDs right away. Yeah right. Sorry to hear that, man. I'd suggest making an account on their message board and making a thread about it there. As long as you're polite and civil I'm positive you'll get some feedback on your order from somebody like Disco, SD, or someone else working for PWG. |

Haha, yeah in regards to Joekishi's comment before yours, that's why I said to be polite and civil about it since an... er, "interesting" bunch tends to post on their board. I've seen people with shipping issues get pointed in the right way or be given an alternate e-mail after posting an inquiry there, so again I'd suggest you at the very least search the board to see what people in the past have done after their orders went AWOL. |
