Posted July 24, 200520 yr comment_2969087 That is the time I have left before school starts. Right now, I have been burning like mad... insane amounts of stuff. In that time, I plan on at least one more batch of CHVs from Bruiser bringing my total to 45. I also have another batch of 10 tapes from Brian plus some DVDs he picked up. Whatever huge amounts of stuff Tim sends me will get done. Loss's order is nearly complete. Mortimer has 34 discs on hold. teke has nearly 50 discs on hold. Also, later this week, I plan on making a buy on stuff from Lynch. I am going to order the Yoshida comp, AJ classic shows and a Big Japan TV block. Is there anyone who wants in on the buy or anything else we need? After the summer is over, my time will be dramatically reduced for converting. Loss and brian have indicated that they will be getting thier own burners. Tim said that nearly all of his VHS is complete. That leaves Bruiser and a few remaining CHVs and NIck, once he gets settled in his new place for converting. I will still do trades but not the insane amounts of discs I have been doing lately. Hopefully, after this is finished, everyone will look at their collections and realize that they acquired huge amounts of wrestling that they would not have had otherwise. I know I have.
July 24, 200520 yr comment_2969271 I've already filled in so many holes in my WCW and WWF collections that it's nearly unbelievable... Massive TV comps of the WWF's glory year of 1997, large sets of early 90s WCW PPVs and Clash Of The Champions episodes, rare WWF In Your House PPVs that are a pain in the ass to find anywhere, let alone the shoots I've been getting, some of which I'd have been hesitant to buy due to the subject matter. Small investment in cash, decent investment in time, large amount of time I'll have to enjoy this stuff.
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2970023 I'm very thankful for the opportunity all of us pulling our resources together has provided, and yes, I've obtained footage that would have taken me years to obtain otherwise. This has been great! I do hope we stay in contact in the future, regarding possible bulk buys and also in sharing footage we continue to acquire whenever possible.
July 25, 200520 yr Author comment_2971358 Hell, you haven't even received your big order yet. THEN you can talk!!!!
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2971618 Are we dismantling? I thought this was not just for obtaining footage, but discussing it and all that stuff that comes with wrestling we've acquired.
July 25, 200520 yr Author comment_2971875 No, although from my post and Loss's post, you would think everyone was graduating and going off to college. It just means that my burning and converting will be drastically cut back so if you are relying on me now, you wont be able to around late August-early September.
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2972225 *gives you all hot sexxx for the converting and trading and building of collections* Goodhelmet, I'm getting some more Liger comps off Lynch soon. Okay if I send em you for converting, as my contact in the UK is a little slow?
July 25, 200520 yr Author comment_2972560 Definitely Mort. I can also do that Pride you needed as well. Are you going to have Lynch send them directly to me? If so, just let me know.
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2973555 Fuck no we aren't disbanding!!! Until I get a burner for myself, the only way I can send Will stuff is to send him the original DVD's so other than things slowing down a little, everything should be the same. I know I have a few big things planned in terms of getting footage as well (which will of course be open to everyone here). Tim
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2973652 I didn't realize the implied finality in my post until I re-read it.
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2974963 You fucking scared me Loss. Anyway, once I get my burner, I'll go through my friend's tapes, some of which are mine, like a hot knife through butter. That'll be another 400+ tapes for the collection.
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2978745 Since the WWE is going to release all the Wrestlemanias on DVD come this Christmas, that narrows the scope of what I'll be working on for the forseeable future. From what Helmet and I have worked out, I'll be working on a select list of WCW PPVs, my UFC odds and ends (UFC 19, the various ones on DVD), selected shoots, and my Saturday Night Live stuff for the time being. For the list of selected shoots and WCW PPVs, go to Helmet's folder and hit the Teke wantlist. Once I'm done with those, I plan on finishing up the rest of my pre-1998 WWE tapes as well as whatever shoots I can get to. Considering I've got in the neighborhood of 100 shoots, that'll take a while.
