Recommendation: This was really good. It had some great action and showed some great CIMA footage. It also contained great footage of other Toryumon wrestlers. I recommend this tape if you are a CIMA fan or want to become one, also that you like high fly or lucha wrestling, and finally that you like Toryumon or want to see some Toryumon for the first time. Overall I say it is a good buy.
