What's number one? I have PWG From Out of Nowhere as my top pick (sitting way up at number one), followed by Extreme Rules, ROH's 13th Anniversary Show, and Wrestlemania.
Watched the latest PWG w/a buddy...was mostly underwhelmed. Guys beat the shit out of each other there, but I find almost all the matches lack flow. A series of stunts that even starts to burn their hardcore crowd out - like after the Gotch Piledriver on End from Hero. And yet, I get Riccochet slapping his own leg for Everrett's strikes. C'mon man; monkey shit on a dog. Biff definitely hurt himself on that powerbomb. Reverse Rana on the apron 7minutes into the second match on the card.
I guess I just find most of it to be very over-worked to the point that I want to take a break halfway in. Too much on the back end of matches, and not enough in the beginning. IDK, I get it, it's their style, but I'm finding myself less drawn to it. I don't want to see concussions >10minutes into a show, and a baker's dozen of leg slaps per match.
The good: The main event delivers; Roddy is a boss. He actually works the character, and ZSJ is one of my most favorite guys to watch. **** on that. Whether Ryan or Cole before or Roddy now, the whole show feels so much better closing with a heel champion. Just does.
I actually really dig tiny Mike Bailey. The whole gimmick is really natural and he rarely tries to be something he's not and instead focuses on what he's got. And those feet :mark: Talking about some power via technique. DAMN. Even still, gotta protect yourself on that crazy shit (Lee's side/***** suplex).
Yes, you should. I'd recommend you to check out the show called "Don't Sweat The Technique". It happened in April, and I'd say it's their best show of the year so far, and the 2nd best wrestling show of 2015. The main event of that show is an all-time classic match.
The Beaver Boys (Alex Reynolds & John Silver) defeated Team Tremendous (Dan Barry & Bill Carr) via hand full of tights roll up
The Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) defeated Drew Gulak & Biff Busick via 450 splash from Swann on Gulak
Trevor Lee & Andrew Everett defeated ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey & Matt Sydal via assisted 630 senton
Monster Mafia (Ethan Page & Josh Alexander) defeated The World’s Cutest Tag Team to WIN the PWG tag team titles (Roderick Strong interfered to cause the loss)
The Beaver Boys defeated Monster Mafia following a belt shot to WIN the PWG tag team titles via belt shot
Trevor Lee & Andrew Everett defeated The Inner City Machine Guns
Johnny Gargano defeated TJ Perkins via GargaNO escape.
Roderick Strong defeated Chris Hero and Brian Cage to retain the PWG title after pinning Cage after a sick kick on Cage
To win DDT 4 AND the PWG tag team titles Andrew Everett & Trevor Lee defeated The Beaver Boys via small package
Well this is not what I was expecting AT ALL. Big push for the Beaver Boys and Busick & Gulak lost in the first round. :lol Wonder why Roddy interfered in the Cutest Tag Team's match? Maybe an alliance with Monster Mafia or starting an angle with Joey Ryan (lord I hope not)?
Never been a fan of having multiple title changes throughout the tournament. Unless they're putting Roddy with the Mafia they could of swapped the matches and had Beaver Boys win from WCTT then do the rest as is. Then at least you only have 2 changes and the Beaver Boys get 1 defense before losing them.
I'm a bit nervous about getting tickets for all 3 nights this year myself. In the past it hasn't been a problem, but the sell out times for these things are pretty nuts nowadays.
Also, I just rewatched Roddy vs. ZSJ and HOLY SHIT!!
I was watching All Star weekend from 2013 and it made me appreciate how far had come Trent since then because his match with London is so fucking hard to get through. His interactions with the fans feel forced , the match is boring , he plays a terrible heel ; he has really come a long way.
Only seen them work once in EVOLVE, but I took a liking to them instantly. Dan Barry reminds me of Mikey Whipwreck and Bill Carr is a modern day reincarnation of the Big Bossman. They're a fun tandem.
Listening to the Young Bucks RF shoot, and they're talking about Mt Rushmore plans before Drake and Kevin got signed. Apparently there was supposed to be Mt Rusmore vs Joey/Candice/Drake/Super Dragon in an 8 man tag Guerrilla Warfare match. Now I'm sad :mj2
I think that could have legitimately been the greatest match ever. 4 of the best heels I've seen taking on two of the most sympathetic and likable faces that you are going to find and PWG's biggest baddass and PWG's kayfabe most successful wrestler. I remember that idea had been fantasy booked by people once they formed the faction and started fueding with Candice and Joey.
Looks like they had to stack the card for Threemendous IV because it's on July 24th, which is the same date as ROH's Death Before Dishonor iPPV. They likely won't have Strong, ACH, or Sydal to use.
Awesome news though! Shame we won't get Roddy/Tozawa. Evans & Angelico vs. Trevor Lee & Andrew Everett would probably be insane.
Agreed, but for whatever reason I feel like it's going to be Angelico/Evans vs Candice & Joey, and Everett/Lee vs Wolves. With that said, Tozawa vs Ricochet pretty please :homer
