Talked about the two title matches from Threemendous 3 in the MOTYC Thread. Everyone reads both threads right? Now to rant on the rest of the show which for the first time in literally years and years almost made it the first PWG show I didn't like.
Ryan/B was a pretty nothing opener. Talked about Knox becoming a parody of himself in this. Don't overdo this shtick with Knox please. Tazmission finish was the only good part of this.
TJP/Strong was actually very good I thought. Usual good TJP match but it doesn't mean anything at the end of they day.
RockNES/FTB sucked I thought. Ryan Taylor is still bad. Chuck's shtick does just nothing for me and he's a guy who's all about relying on his goofy shtick so take that away and he sucks. RockNES going heel is worrying. They're genetically moulded as babyfaces. Goodtime could make it work based on this but Yuma may as well retire based off this if that's the direction. Somebody with his look shouldn't be working as a heel. Would be cool if Goodtime turned on him, LTP returned and they reteamed feuding with Yuma and a new babyface partner. NOT AN INVITATION TO BOLA SPOILERS. Finish was good at least.
Edwards blew the match with Cage which sucked because this should have been a big match for Cage. People seemed to like it though at least so that's good. Cage was really good in this but he's not a carry guy yet. Isn't a guy who needs to be carried either but he needs the other guy to be on his level. I'm not an Eddie hater but this was one of his weaker showings. Botchy and when you only really offer moves in a match that's one thing you absolutely can't be. Cage's promo after ruled. Cage needs his own shirt with a picture of Willie Mack on saying "I'M COMING FOR YOU NIGGA". Marked out at Cage's shockingly great spinaroonie. I read all the Threemendous 3 posts in one go so I can't remember who said it but someone said something about PWG making Cage a star in 2 shows whereas ROH hasn't made someone look like a star for years. Same point in my own words anyway. He's got the moveset and the charisma to be a superstar and he doesn't seem like enough of a numpty to turn into another Davey Richards. NOT AN INVITATION TO BOLA SPOILERS.
Sorry Lane, but B-Boy/Younger fucking sucked. Typical modern Indy style match with every possible typical Indy style flaw. Head drops a million and one, head drops a million not being sold. Stupid number of "get dropped on your head and pop up not even selling when you pop up to get another spot in" spots. No emotion or character portrayal. B-Boy is totally emotionless to the point of smacking you in the face that he's emotionless. Only emotion Younger shows is when he pops up and screams. They take some nutty bumps which in the right environment can be great but when they take too many and don't sell them or give them any significance then you're just hurting yourself for the sake of hurting yourself. I get why the live crowd dug it at least. Drunken, hyped out fans will always mark for guys killing themselves. Doesn't equal good match.
Sami/Elgin I didn't think was very good either. Elgin continues to look clueless when he has no direction. They hit each other hard but don't work much of a match or even work much of a powerhouse match.
Angle vs Danielson Wow. I wonder who London has problems with and lol at the Low Ki bit. I'd kill to see Omega back again.
On the subject of PWG they return with their next show on OCT 27th and Rich Swann will be making his debut against El Generico. Cool stuff.
Swann could be insanely over in Reseda.

Enlightenedone9, your take on Brian's interference does shed some light to an angle I never saw and possibly change my feel over the match falling "flat". I suppose I was taking it from a completely in the moment reflection without looking at the future that Steen and Cage would share. Still, Willie is my boy and I was hoping for that interference to happen post-match. Meh, nothing at all serious.
Favourite part of the ladder match? Mine was Rick Knox by far and away. You speak about PWG building a main eventer out of Cage but screw that, PWG built the most badass yet realistic referee in wrestling today.
Yeah Rick Knox is the friggin' man. He made two great matches even better by his involvement which is nuts to even think about.
I think Swann will be insanely over , not sure is it a one shot deal or what. Him and Generico should have a great match. On the topic of Generico I can't wait for his best of PWG DVD. So many great matches through out the years.
Its a fantastic Q&A worth reading through. Steen doing run ins was pretty great.
Steen: Were you overwhelmed with pride when you won the CZW World Championship?
Dragon: Hahahahhaha yes so much so that I threw the belt out of the ring, and yelled at Ruckus backstage for being terrible! I do love their cookies though, have I ever mentioned that? Also, did I mention that I love you?
Steen: Yes. Thank you <3. Remember when he stood up and hit his head on that platform thing?!
Dragon: Haha I do. Poor Ruckus. GIVE ME SOME COOKIES OR GTFO. No I'm kidding. Ruckus is cool. I actually told Michael Elgin he was wrestling Ruckus in the first round of BOLA only to find out Ruckus actually still wrestles. Crazy!
