Most of these packages have 200 flyers or less in them (what I distributed) I have not sold a single one of them or a poster.I`m still waiting for an extra bedroom to put all of my stuff in it.

Man that is crazy...and AWESOME.

I have a lot of cool fight programs from Japan. maybe 15 (?) from Pancrase 1993-1996, including the first event and also the KOP 16 man 1994 tourney (I have 2 of those). I have tons from PWF-Gumi from 1991-1992, including the 10/92 Shamrock vs Nielson show (Ken's first fight- have 2 of those also). Have the 11/89 UWF U-Cosmos program (Mo Smith vs Minoru Suzuki, maybe 2 of those also?). I picked up a couple Shooto programs (very thin newsletter looking things) from 1990 because Manabu Yamada was in those shows. Plus maybe 150 Japanese magazines that covered PWF-Gumi, Pancrase, and UFC from maybe 1991-1996. Actually Tuesday I get another 60 of those era magazines coming in from Japan. Lots of cool pictures.
PLEASE post some pics whenever you get some spare time. You can post them straight from your phone, without hosting on IMGUR, by using the ADD IMAGES button in the reply box. Would love to see some.

I'll try to put something up after work if I remember- for now, here's a quick picture I had handy. From the November 1989 UWF program with Mo Smith vs Minoru Suzuki:

Here's the Pancrase program from their very first show, September 1993. I missed out on 2 copies of this (one with a ticket stub from the show!) before I was able to nab this copy. Frustrating. The cover has an October date but that's likely just promoting the next show:







From the inside- here's shots of Bas and other fighters before any Pancrase matches took place:







In this next picture from the interior- notice Kunioku is shown as a fighter yet he doesn't debut until I think 1996. He was actually around in 1992 in PWF-Gumi behind the scenes with the future Pancrase guys I believe:

Okay a couple more. This is from the newborn UWF fight program from October 1990- their second last show, and the show that got Ken Shamrock in his first match under the submission wrestling style (vs Anjo). Ken is pictured on the second page at the bottom. Funaki, Suzuki, Fujiwara, and other top names are pictured also:







These next 2 pictures are from I believe the October 1991 PWF-Gumi fight program. The first picture has the top Japanese stars from the show. The second pic has Ken Shamrock, Bart Vale, and at the bottom of the second page on the left you can see Sammy Soranaka:

Hey, thanks guys- but I actually didn't get introduced to this stuff until Saturday 3/12/94. One of our Karate black belts came to class and made the mistake of giving me a VHS copy of UFC 2 to watch, recorded the night before. Instant addict.

My interests mainly lie in PWF-Gumi 1991-early 1993, Pancrase 1993-1997, UFC 1993-1999, and Pride 1999-2005.

I love the old school stuff. I was pretty young back then to experience it first hand and dont remember much. first one I remember watching was UFC 2 on VHS and that was in 94 or early early 95.

All the events I watched back then were months after they happened because I was too young to know how to order a ppv and even if I did order one my mom would have beat me for running up her cable bill

Had dinner with Mark Hall and his son the other night. He showed up with this sweet windbreaker for me.
