I still think aries is a poor man's joey ryan, but that's not a terrible thing to be honest.
I find in ring Aries to be much better than Ryan. His limb work work is superb.
__________________ A wrestling match is like a balanced diet. The basics are carbs, keeping you going. Armdrags may not be the highlight, but they're key to the development. Dairy is emotion and crowd interaction, like bones, they strengthen the match, and in there absense, the it will fall apart. Meat is moves like suplexes and finishers. They’re cool, but if you rely on them you’d be unhealthy, and the matches unwatchable. Mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them, but some is sweet chain wrestling. Last is spots and indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can't just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get above ****.

Superb show, PWG has probably one of, if not the best talent-wise, roster in the entire independant scene and it shows with quality matches throughout the entire card. Highly recommended.
1. Jay Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong - ***1/2
2. The American Wolves & Chris Hero vs. Kevin Steen, El Generico, & Bobby Dempsey - ***1/2
3. Bison Smith vs. Bryan Danielson *3/4 - **
4. Tyler Black & Jerry Lynn vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Delirious - ***
5. Nigel McGuinness vs. Brent Albright (ROH World Title Match) - **1/2
Overall good show. The first two matches were very good but the rest of them weren't so good. The M.E was very bad without something special.
Just watched the Joey Ryan/Paul London promo from PWG 99. Hilarious, I have a total man crush on London these days. "I didn't even know there was a show tonight." I really hope PWG continue to use him in some format, his quirkiness is just too awesome to let go.
I haven't got PWG 99 and 100 yet but hopefully I'll rceive them today.Have heard nothing but positive reviews about these shows.Especially the Guns/Bucks from PWG 99.
Kenny King and Rhett Titus vs. Erick Stevens and Bobby Dempsey *½
Brent Albright vs. Claudio Castagnoli *¾
Chris Hero and Eddie Edwards vs. Kevin Steen and Jay Briscoe ***
Bryan Danielson vs. Delirious **½
Austin Aries vs. Sami Callahan **¼
Anything Goes Street Fight
Necro Butcher vs. Brodie Lee **¾
Four Way Elimination Match for the ROH World Title
Nigel McGuinness vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Tyler Black vs. Jimmy Jacobs ***½
Overall: Worst ROH show I've seen in a VERY long time. The only positive was the main event which was pretty good but nowhere near good enough to make this show worth buying.

PWG World Tag Team Titles
The Young Bucks vs. The Cutler Brothers - ***1/2 - ***3/4 Fast-paced opener to the show that honestly should have been higher up on the card.
Scott Lost vs. Roderick Strong - ***1/2 - ***3/4
Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega - N/R You're either going to love or hate this match. Arm wrestling, crowd singalongs, and other spots with wrestling thrown in.
Paul London vs. Joey Ryan - ***1/4
Austin Aries, Chuck Taylor, & Human Tornado vs. B-Boy, Candice LeRae, & Scorpio Sky - ***1/2 With every match I love slimy heel Aries more and more, and I could watch him and his team of woman-beaters smack around Candice all day.
Tyler Black vs. Davey Richards - ***1/2
Sonjay Dutt vs. El Generico - **1/2 Match was meh but Davey Richards and Danielson calling it made it much better then it should have been.
PWG World Title
Chris Hero vs. Colt Cabana - ***1/4
While 99 was better overall this was still a fun show. This was the more the comedy PWG night to complement 99's better wrestling night.
