Which one did you watch?

I too have recently gotten into Pride and it sucked me in so much I bought every event with the exception of 2004 GP (sold out) and 2002 Shockwave (never released as far as I can tell).  Happy Birthday to me!

Pride was a better show back in those days... Corruption ran the org... and the future has been written.

Pride 33 was a great card, I just wish it had been fought in Japan under true Pride rules.

You're going to love the GPs. I remember being pleasantly surprised by the Liddell/Overeem fight. That was a brawl while it lasted. Probably one of Liddell's best performances, though most U.S. fans have never seen it.

I work with @Samson and he keeps giving me a hard time about not watching TE 2k3 yet.  It's an absolutely sick card, but I'm not looking forward to seeing Saku KO'd again.

I remember after watching a UFC card a bunch of me and my friends were just hanging out and I mentioned I just bought the 2003 GP box set 6 or so hours later I converted a half dozen of so people to the world of Pride..it was like a religious experience

The 2005 MW GP is definitely worth watching if you haven't. A great overall tournament, see shogun as a ******* animal in his prime, and the greatest fight of all time (nog/shogun).

They had good shows and bad shows just like any other org. They had some great fighters though.
