So aside from the best of, which I already have, can ya'll make a few DVD recommendations for a beginning Chikara fan? I didn't think this belonged in the ROH DVD thread, and I couldn't find a previous thread. Feel free to lock and direct me to a previous thread if ya'll know of one.

Here's the list I give most newcomers to Chikara, your mileage may vary:
TWGP 06 nights 1, 2, 3
The Crushing Weight of Mainstream Ignorance
Brick
From Zero to Hero(And Castagnoli)
King of Trios 07 nights 1,2,3
Rey De Voladores(Best show of 07, in my opinion)
Showdown in Crisisland
Any of the ECW Arena shows. Any Cibernetico or Young Lions Cup.

My first one was "The Crushing Weight of Mainstream Ignorance"
I would also suggest
King of Trios (all 3 nights)
Cibernetico and Robin (or Cibernetico Forever)
Showdown in CrisisLand
Negative Balance
Aniversario?
Also, the final 3 shows of 2007, as well (when it comes out) Steven Colbert > Bill O' Reily
I know there is more...but I can't think of them right now

My first 6 were Negative Balance, Maximum Overdraft, Rey de Voladores, and TWGP 06 Nights 1-3. I rthink Negative Balance is very overrated, but it is still a great show. However, I'd suggest if you want the best shows, you swap it out for either Cibernetico and Robin or Crushing Weight, as IMo both are better. but they are all great shows to get you started. Running in the Red is also very underrated- there's an excellent Jigsaw/Hallowicked bout, a very solid and historic Akuma/Storm mask vs mask match, the debuts of both Hydra and Dragon Dragon, plus a tremendous Quack/Claudio match that IMO surpassses their Negative Balance encounter.
I can't comment on King of Trios or Showdown in Crisisland, as they're waiting in the Christmas stocking along with Brusied and New Star Navigation.

You can't go wrong starting with "Rey De Voladores" or "Cibernetico & Robin". Both great top-to-bottom shows.
If you have a little more cash to spare
Trios Tournament
TWGP 06
Bruised
The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence
Any other Cibernetico
Showdown in Crisisland
Chapter 11

Rey de Voladores is the first DVD I ever ordered, and its the best move I could have made back then. Its a solid show with quite a few stand-outs, and a little something for everyone.
I give full reccomendation on Crushing Weight as well.

Honestly, PAC vs. Chuck Taylor vs. Ricochet vs. Retail Dragon from that show may just be my Chikara match of the year nominee, at least until I see the final 4 shows. |

But there's also FIST/Cheech & Cloudy and Hero/Claudio from that show,which are also absolutely superb matches IMO. Cibernetico & Robin is almost equal as a top-to-bottom show. You've got a fun Incoherence/Temple match, the Osirian Portal's debut, a very solid Quack/Donst match, and the excellent Cibernetico, in which Incognito proves to be one of the best guest workers of the year. Only downsides to the show are a botched finish to BLKOUT/Colony (which is still a good match), and sloppiness from Candace LaRae and Magno (But Magno still had soem good moments) |

A good choice, but I have to give the nod to Hero/Claudio for CHIKARA moty. Its my first runner-up for match of the year as it is. |
