2007 All Japan Open

Someone else mentioned a japan cup recently where ralf and efren both nearly ran out a set of 11 using alternating breaks.

I searched and searched for info on these cups and I can't seem to find much. Specifically, is someone taping these over there, and are the tapes available for sale?

Mickey, you know anything about this stuff?

mickey, that link is excellent.
It looks like you can purchase a downloadable movie file for less than $2.00 for dozens of matches, including several with reyes and other superstars.

Sadly that 2004 set is not available.

Double sad: I went to all the trouble of registering, logging on, etc and trying to purchase a video, only for it to tell me it's for japanese residents only :/

Anyone in japan want to buy some for me, and I paypal them the cost of the movie + a little extra for the trouble?
 
rob, you're the man. Hope you can download and save these somehow instead of having to watch the stream. But I got a feeling it might be that way cuz the price is so low. It's prolly 2 dollars for 1 or 3 views.

I'm willing to pay for a dvd + shipping if that option's there. Unless the price is really scary.

I hadn't heard about that match, but that's phenomenal. Was the match taped by someone, but not available on the site, or was it just not taped?
