Oh and it's cool, I wasn't like mad or anything, I just thought I'd make a silly MLK style speech amongst all the mayhem that would allow for more mayhem because why not.
But it really does sort of remind me of the WWF/WCW "who's better" days, especially the way some other forums were.

I sure as hell did. But it didn't explode in my face when I opened it. It was still awesome though. Thanks Sigma. You're Very Welcome, Tony. *hugs*

This isn't personal, but on behalf of all the crap I had to put up with to get just the Chikara Best of, which I of course had to pay for, I hate you, just a little bit. Ha. Well, if it makes you feel any better, my mother and father played a prank on me. I come into the kitchen where dad and her sit at the table. She has two gifts. One shaped like a DVD (Woohoo!) and the other that is like a clothes box. She hands me the DVD and says, "It took us a long time to get this. We hope you like it." I smile. Open it. And... ... The Best of Shakira?! Her hips don't lie and neither do I. I said, "I think you misunderstood me." and they tell me a story about how the WalMart worker told them, "He misspelled it. That's the only explanation. There is NOTHING related to wrestling with that name." So, she hands me the other gift and...Best of Chikara taped down so it wouldn't slide when I picked up the box. Nice. My parents had a good laugh at me. Hey, at least I was honest. The WalMart story is true though. Ridiculous.

It's the one thing I told my mother that I wanted more then anything. I went to her house on Christmas eve, and heck yes. She said it was hard as hell to find, she ended up having to order it off of Amazon.com but I got the DVD and I literally sat down and watched all 10 episodes plus the WSXtra episodes in order. I then turned it right back on and watched all 10 episodes with alternate commentary. I can honestly say as someone who LOVED the wackyness yet amazingness that was WSX, I wish I'd come back. I hear rumors that G4 wants to do something though, so we'll see!

I bought it for my dad and he loves it. It's too bad Teddy Hart is such a dick because he has a great look and can do some awesome moves. The case for the 4 discs is stupid as hell as it looks like it can hold 20. I wish there was an easier way to watch the matches on the Xtra because we usually watch all the episodes, then all the Xtra episodes and end up sitting through the recaps.
I really hope DVD sales are good and can influence somebody because it was basically independent wrestling with much higher production values. It's cool to see indy guys from all over and guys you've seen personally keeping the same name and gimmick

A friend and I watched the whole series within 3 nights. We would keep asking each other "And this got cancelled WHY? " After watching WSX, RAW just felt bland.

I got it, and DAMNIT if it's not the greatest find ever! My favorite was actually the Cage of Death match they had on it. Absolutely brilliant stuff!

I bought it off of Amazon.com a while ago, and I was surprised when it showed up in a haz-mat box. Okay, so maybe it didn't, but IMO, WSX should go down in history as the 2007 pro wrestling DVD of the year. It's awesome, and the folks at MTV are morons for cancelling this show. I mean, just the ideas for seasons 2 and 3 should have been enough to keep WSX on TV IMO .

I bought a quasi-legal version from Ruckus at Super Indy VI last May. Those shows (along with my girlfriend's Cowon PMP) got me through my job interview with Pokemon in style. As some of you know, I'm a closet XPW mark, so I was just eating this stuff up. My personal favorite moments:
- The first Trailer Park Boys promo.
- Anything involving Scorpio Sky.
- The way Kleinrock and the gang worked Youth Suicide into the Ricky Bandaras/Sean Waltman/Vampiro feud.
- Anything involving Matt Classic.
- Bandaras' catchphrase "You burned my face." (So wonderfully cheesy...)
And for those wondering, my disc does indeed have the fireball spot on it. It also has every episode of WSXtra complete with the original time codes at the top of the screen.
