Danny Havoc vs. Drake Younger [Caribbean Spider-Pits Deathmatch](TOD11):****

This is a low ranking MOTYC for me but still a hell of a deathmatch. I don’t watch a ton of deathmatch wrestling partly because I find them boring after a while since it is usually just a collection of “extreme spots”, and I tend to enjoy spot fests. This was just too much fun though. There were plenty of crazy spots in this match. More than most wrestling cards will have in total. Drake Younger is having a little bit of a career resurgence as of late with his work in CZW and now he seems like he could put on some good matches in PWG. As far as psychology, well that isn’t really what you are going to find here. But when a match involves a fireball, a piledriver onto a lightube ON the apron, and flaming fluorescent light tubes then it somehow becomes less important and you just get engrossed by the balls craziness of these cats.

Strangely, I find the Younger/Mondo 1st Round match better (****) than that one.

The one thing that made me upset with that match is the spot where Mondo wants to Frankensteiner Younger onto the ladder but one of them decides to twist and it completely misses, then Mondo decides to perch Younger back on top and just tosses him onto the ladder. I still thought it was wicked fun but it takes a decent amount for me to get into deathmatches so that just kinda took me out of it.

PWG WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES
Super Smash Bros. vs. The Young Bucks(No DQ): ****1/2
SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!!! Little would you know if you put the best heel tag team in PWG history against one of the hottest tag teams going right now you will get a MOTYC? At no point was this match anything close to dull. The action was amazing just like you would expect. I wasn’t sure if this match was going to be able to live up to the huge amount of hype and when I thought it was going to end it surely came close to the praise it had received but what I didn’t realize was what I thought was the end wasn’t the end and that’s when I started completely losing my shit, opposed to the 85% shit losing I was doing, while watching this match. When Matt Jackson pulls Rick Knox out of the ring and superkicks his face off that’s when this match goes from being great to being a PWG Classic IMO, no small feat mind you. Throughout the match The Young Bucks are complete assholes and it is superb. The way they took Player Dos out of the match was great. Did I mention the table spot? No? Then how about you go watch this match and tell me how super friggin’ sweet it is. This match is somewhere in my Top 3 right now with Naito/Okada and Sheamus/Bryan. This review is out of order and a little chaotic. I was trying to capture the chaoticness of this match in this review. Not buying it? Damn


Ricochet vs. El Generico: ****1/4
So this happened. El Generico for my money is the best wrestler not in one of the big promotions. Ricochet has turned into not just a complete wrestler but an AMAZING wrestler. This match is a grudge match and it shows. The things these guys can do are unreal. Ricochet was a complete dick this match and El Generico showing a little bit more of a mean streak was fantastic. The story of El Generico getting pissed at Ricochet for being a little faster and ahead of him as well as El Generico getting his neck’s durability tested was grand. Watch this match. Super fun and super awesome.

Had a few botches but they didn't take anything away from the story or the overall action. First time seeing Hino and he seemed really good. Ibushi is just a great underdog. Probably around the **** mark. Probably didn't help that I'm really fucking tired right now.

I fully agree with this. I honestly do not see the hype for Ibushi/Omega nor do I see the hype for Hino/Ibushi.

I honestly loved the story they were portraying (a great reworking of the David Vs Goliath tale) but the manner in which Hino was trying to portray himself as wrestling's own Mumakil felt odd. Where Seabs sees great selling in portraying him as unstoppable yet still "humanlike" I see questionable selling flaws.

The crowd popped when Ibushi did the unthinkable and powerbombed Hino. It was quickly killed when Hino rolled out barely after a one-count. Sure, Hino is meant to have a large "HP" but at least have him be stunned or, at the very least, taken aback that Ibushi did that to him. Sell some annoyance, please? Thanks.

Botchy, questionable and odd in it's flow. Not for me.

Hey guys, I downloaded Young Bucks vs Super Smash Bros, only problem is I'm not sure how to unzip/extract it.

Usually it isn't a problem, but the Winrar actually expired (lol), how exactly do you get past it or alternatively what's another program I can use to unzip it?

7zip

Wow, I never actually thought Winrar could expire. My copy has been saying "evaluation copy - expired" ever since I can remember yet has never failed to work.

Where did you download the match from, out of interest?
