Labels: AJPW

It is now officially over 2 MONTHS since I placed an order for ONE tape from japantapes and I still haven't received the tape yet. Sure they get all the latest tapes but I rather think I'd prefer waiting awhile for other sites like wrestleholics to order from them since it only takes about a month to receive my orders from them. I seriously don't recommend my fellow Malaysian's to order from japantapes unless you have alot of patience to wait for your order.

Currently I am also awaiting 2 orders of 4-tapes each from wrestleholicsvideos. Expect to get them by mid and end of February. I'll have full show and match listings here when I get them.

Coming soon, later this month hopefully, I'll be getting more videos from Pro Wrestling NOAH and New Japan Pro Wrestling, as well as some of the indy feds like Osaka Pro, etc.

Any enquiries email me at eric_ecw@hotmail.com
