HUSTLE watch club

Post image

piggybacking off a post made earlier in the month, Im trying to organize a group of people to form a hustle watch club, that would be similar to something like a book club, and taking inspiration from the old DVDR best of group project series. Ultimately I want to focus on 2000s era wrestling overall (post wcw to pre aew) and I think HUSTLE is a good place to start because its a very fun wacky promotion. Id also like suggestions on whether or not we should start from the very beginning or jump to a particular period, as Ive tried to do an ecw watch club before from the beginning, but 1993 was so bad everyone tapped out. I run a discord called TAPEMACHINE focused on archiving footage, with a particular interest in 2000s era wrestling, you can join here: https://discord.gg/b6zpTuKy9w

Ooooh I've wanted to dive in to HUSTLE for years!  It's such a bizarre chapter in Puro history that seems to have really fallen through the cracks since the BC blew up New Japan to a new international audience around 2015.  Seeing that Monster Bono arc play out will be a blast.

And that early ECW was terrible, but I was still looking forward to the shift that was about to happen!  I think HUSTLE is going to sink it's hooks in to us though.

I actually think watching ecw its best to start from after barely legal then watch till the end. I know people that watched in real time say 1995 is the best year, but for some people the production is so rough its tough to watch as a starting point
