I only have a couple bootlegs, the boxes were my main thing. I had to get the rick lucero wrestler killer set bootleg, as I’ve never seen an original surface.

Panther went after the UFC stars with the quickness in the late 90s. Ruas, Kimo, Belfort, Frye….
They were putting out all the same schlock.
Though I will say the Mark Kerr set combined with Bas Rutten’s Extreme Pancrase set would make for a pretty solid syllabus to study.

The extreme pancrase set by Bas is the best thing panther ever producedand i would consider them to be among the top 5 ever. I think this is due to bas and not panther.
Circa 1997. Allan Goes tapes produced by Gene LeBell’s WGF.

I remember the guy from Hawaii on here that sold them - he had a huge list of events and instructionals and gave great deals .. I remember he told me had like 6-7 VCRs constantly copying lol
There was no way to see Pride events or the other shows like Brazil or World Vale Tudo events back then so this guy was a prize
Rings was great and had stacked tournaments but a few fights were fishy as hell

I got mine from an Asian guy. Don’t remember where he lived in the states though.
From this forum?
I met Alan Goes, he was a nice guy
Was he the guy who also had tapes of very old boxing matches?
Yessssssssss…this thread would be incomplete without Fat Murey.
Turns out he lives 10 mins away from me.
I did a beginner HTML class one time and I put up some MMA DVDs and Instructionals on my student page- Pride, Deep, K-1, Matt Furey etc- Furey immediately sent a cease and decist within hours of the project page being published.

Too bad he didn’t apply the same level of IP protection to Karl Gotch’s work.
Haha, i remember when matt went apeshit on the old forum and disappeared. Good times. I always got along with him. His unravelling was quite the sight.
