Damn dude, I blink and there is like 20 new matches to watch. I'll start working on them later this week.

It doesn't take me long. It's funny cause I already have an idea in my head of what you are going to love and what you are going to loathe. A couple of shows I watched back to back were really fucking good. That 12-18-99 show was almost as good as the show the day before it.

My works schedule is dogshit this week as they are fucking me before I go part time. So I'm probably going to be real light watching shit for the next few days. That should give you some time to catch up

Heh, you are well ahead of schedule.

Yeah, REAL light watching schedule this week!!!

 

You only watched EIGHTEEN shows since you made this post. Sick fuck.

Heh - I ended up taking a personal day yesterday because of a migraine that had evaporated by the late afternoon. So a day that might have been or two shows turned into seven. Funny thing is I still have over half of the ECW you sent in that match to watch (60 more discs by my count).

Yeah but that is still a sick amount you have run through. Shit, this project may be close to finished by Thanksgiving or Xmas as well.

Really depends on the tv and if you decide to grab anymore fancams. I don't give a damn myself - I'll watch whatever the hell you send me Right now I have incentive because I'm working to get to the SMW.

 

I can say with a fair degree of confidence that I will be done with this batch of ECW by the fifteen of Sept. at the absolute latest.

I have the TV already. Just have to make copies. However, I have to order more discs first. Having said that, you should have it by the 15th of September for sure.

As of today I'm a little over half way through with this batch of ECW. Got 50 discs still to go. Really starting to understand the depth of these projects, as at this point I have really grown to hate certain wrestlers in an almost unhealthy way.

I understand hating certain wrestlers but keep in mind that those wrestlers may just be in a Top Ten match down the road. The key is to go into each match like it is the first time you have seen that wrestler... unless it is Tiger Jeet Singh.

Well that's one of the really funny things about ECW - you really don't know what match is going to be the best on the card coming in. The company had so many senseless run-ins that often times the best match on paper is one of the worst on the show. Meanwhile a match that looks questionable on paper might end up being really strong. I fucking hate Chris Chetti at this point but I've nominated several matches involving him. If I can be fair to Chetti I can be fair to anyone- excepting Singh of course.

Right on!

God I'm so sick of Tiger Jeet & Ueda.

Kris, you don't have to watch those matches!!!

 

Watch the nominated matches!!!!!!!!!

Down to the final ten discs. Will probably be done by Friday evening at the very latest. I'll move onto SMW until you get a chance to send the tv my way.

Sounds like a plan. Expect the 1998-2000 TV seasons your way in the next 2 weeks or so.

Done. 107 discs in 22 days. This batch was definitely harder to get through as by the end I had become extremely annoyed by the run-in trains and inconsistency of the RF camera work. Going through the tv is going to be interesting as from the looks of things there is going to be a lot of fancam/tv overlap. I almost wish I had made notes on VQ now, but as a rule a full nominated match is preferable to one that may be clipped by commercials anyhow (see Hidaka v. Crazy for an obvious example). I will be on the look out for some specific stuff (there is a RVD v. Spike match that appeared to have been taped for tv and the camera shot made much of it almost unwatchable), but for the most part I assume I'm just trying to fill in the gaps here. I'll watch it all, but I don't expect it is going to result in too many more nominations.

 

In the meantime you've got 93 more matches to watch

 

Edit: When you get the time Will, split off match discussion and tape discussion sub-forums for SMW. I'm starting the viewing for that later today.

Hell, I can burn through 93 matches

 

For the TV, I am just waiting on the blanks to arrive. We really need to keep an eye out for extras that would be included from the TV. I guess that also means we need to start prepping an extra list from TV and comms of shows you have not watched.

This week is the calm before the storm, as aside from Thurs I have a rally loaded work week. Probably be doing about three shows a day until Monday when you can expect me to go batshit crazy. It's possible next week could have some 10 disc days - maybe more, as a lot of this stuff can be flown through due to FanCam rehashed matches/repeat segments/recaps from previous shows/et.

 

Also Will, how big is that next batch of FanCams looking to be?

GEne has not gotten back to me but probably about the same size as this last round.

As of last night I am more than half way through with this batch and totally through with the HC TV from 98 and 99. Watched 20 discs in the last two days and may slow down a bit, but I'm guessing 7-8 discs a day will be the norm til I finish. From there I will probably split time between the TX Set and the last half of that SMW set. If you get the new block of FanCams may way before the end of this month, I'll be done well before Thanksgiving.

OK sounds good. I talked to Gene and he has over 80 of them burned already. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Hardcore TV is done. Interested in watching the TNN stuff as I have really muddled memories of it. May be done altogether by Monday evening.

Sick, sick fuck
