I purchased this double DVD-R set from Highspots.com for $14.95. Before I even get into the card itself, the case/disks that I recieved were absolutely awesome. I was expecting to get a blank case with a couple of disks with "Super J-Cup" written on them or something, but the case itself is a copy of the comercially available Japanese case while the disks are printed with the J-Cup logo. With that, let me just say that I loves me some highspots.
To make things easier on ourselves I'm going to rate first round matches as either "good" or "bad." Lets face it, nobody is going to put on a five star match in the first round due to time constraints, so I'll just get to the point.
Match 1:
CIMA vs. Ricky Marvin
Wow. I had never seen Ricky Marvin wrestle before, but this guy is muy loco. This match only went a little over five minutes, but it was still really fun to watch. CIMA was amazing as usual while Ricky Marvin surprised the hell out of me by doing all sorts of crap I don't know how to call because I hadn't ever seen it before.
Verdict: Good
Match 2:
Ricky Fuji vs. Sasuke the Great
Sasuke: So Ricky Fuji, you feel like wrestling a match?
Ricky: Not really. I kinda rather sit here and play with my Jericho-esque hair.
Sasuke: I rather play with your hair too, but apparently we're in a tournament or something.
Ricky: Ok I got a better idea. How about we dick around in the ring for about three minutes, then I make out with your girlfriend/valet with the huge rack over there. Better idea! I make out with her twice!
Sasuke: What? You want to make out wi
Ricky: YEAH! Dude look at me. JERICHO-ESQUE HAIR. Trust me, the fans will love it. Here's the best part. Instead of getting mad at me for making out with your hot ass valet with the huge rack, you attack the ref instead and get yourself disqualified.
Sasuke: The ref? But that doesn't make an
Ricky: Yup! It's going to rule dude. I'll even let you touch my hair.
Highspots: We're going to clip this because it's going to be retarded.
Me: Thank you highspots. Oh, and who the hell is Sasuke the Great?
Verdict: Bad
Match 3:
Naoki Sano vs. Judo Suwa
Suwa? Why the hell is Suwa in a J-cup? Anyway this match wasn't anything special. Suwa is exponentially better now and really doesn't even look the same. Sano pretty much carried Suwa through a pretty abysmal match. NEXT!
Verdict: Bad
Match 4:
Mens Teioh vs. Katsumi Usuda
This really wasn't something I expected from a J-Cup as neither men did anything off of the mat, but it wasn't a bad match by any means. Nothing special here, but lots of counters and reversals made it pretty interesting.
Verdict: Good.
More to come later.
