ECW December to Dismember, granted you haven't reviewed it already. And if you have, can you appoint me in its direction?
Edit: Disregard. I found it on your wrestling review website.

That's all folks.
You ever do this one?

No but I'll put it on my list.

If you don't fear death, I would love to see you review Heroes of Wrestling (October 10, 1999),

Not happening. ROH turned me off with their TV show.

Well there's a multi-page review of it you can check.
What Raw is that?

Lowest rated Raw during their dominance over WCW, probably due to the fact it was on Christmas (Nitro took the day off). Interesting choice of an ending for a holiday show, too.

I put it on my list but it'll take awhile to get there.

Done all of those but Beyond.
Give Beyond a thought. It's quite the experience. I know Davey Richards doesn't strike your fancy, but you might be interested in Back in Flesh which has a singles match between Richards and Johnny Gargano.

Which DGUSA/EVOLVE shows did you do? I don't recall reading those.

Just the first DGUSA one. I wasn't that impressed. I just don't like the indy style.

Fair enough. Just curious. EVOLVE keeps the matches shorter so I could see you being able to stomach that better, but it still ends up being the indy style. Plus, there are some awful guys in EVOLVE

I remember reading about Evolve when it started and how it was based on win/loss record or something. I think I gave it a year and a half before it merged/folded.

I loved the concept at first, as you have to admit it is intriguing. They didn't really do much with as far as storylines past the wins and losses, though and it got old really fast. It'll be much stronger merged with DGUSA.

My problem with these indy companies is they have the same roster and I have no idea who most of these people are. The catch to them is they have great matches, but they're great according to people that tend to think Cena can't wrestle and that you have great matches based on how many moves you know. I love the guys in WWE because I've spent years watching them grow and go through their paths to get where they are now. Hearing that say RIchards and Naruki Doi have this great match doesn't mean much because I don't know who those two are, nor do I care. Cena vs. Punk was partially great because there's history there and the crowd and the buildup make it great, along with actual psychology and storytelling. Something like Chikara is fun because it goes so completely over the top that it becomes interesting to watch. I could see myself following that, but when they only have stuff like once every two months, it gets hard for someone with as short an attention span as I have to want to follow them.
I think that's the biggest barrier to a lot of people like the indies, really. But I don't understand it. If you don't know who Naruki Doi is...why not go find out? It's why I started watching ROH, which was my first indy. I heard people talking about it, and guys like Nigel and Bryan, and thought, "Well, I'd like to go find out about those guys" and was very impressed.
Ah well. Suum cuique.
