If you watch him wrestle, it's particularly galling for him to put down the guys who are green but spectacular, or work a high flying style in general (he seems to have trouble with either). The Young Bucks may have flaws, but they work all over the world and get pushed wherever they go, and are respected by their peers (mostly).

WrestleCon has announced the main event for this year's show, and it's a dream match from 1998:

Sabu & RVD vs the Hardy Boyz

They will also be running John Morrison vs ACH.

Underrated PWG match: Willie Mack and Brandon Gatson vs the Young Bucks from DDT 2011. Bucks do a great job of doing the whole "Underestimating the put together tag team" shtick, and Gatson and Mack bust out some pretty double teams (including a Hart Attack variation where Mack does a standing Buff Blockbuster instead of a clothesline).

It's easy to forget due to his goofiness, but Gallows has turned into a drat good worker, especially for a guy his size.

IMO, he was perfectly fine in WWE.

PWG just added Cage/Busick, Ciampa/ACH, and Beaver Boys/World's Cutest Tag Team to the April 3rd card. Guess that means Ciampa didn't sign a contract with ROH after all. The tag match is non-title as well, which is fine but it's kinda weird how after being in England during the last show Candice and Joey only have three defenses despite winning the belts last July.

Probably means he's not winning the ROH title

Roderick Strong vs. Zack Sabre
World's Cutest Tag Team vs. Beaver Boys (non-title)
Brian Cage vs. Biff Busick
ACH vs. Tomasso Ciampa
Mike Bailey vs. Trevor Lee
Andrew Everett vs. Ricochet
Monster Mafia vs. Sabin/Sydal

that's a good looking card and i really like how it's mostly guys who wouldn't be on a PWG card a year ago

I'm a bit worried the Bucks signed an ROH contract or something. They, out of nowhere, thanked PWG's twitter for everything (which Excalibur retweeted) for the past 7 years.

I find that a bit hard to believe. They seem very reluctant to sign contracts with anybody as they like being freelancers and are doing quite well for themselves appearing everywhere including fairly regular appearances with the #2 promotion in the world.

I get that, it just seemed very out of nowhere. Maybe they're just grateful guys.

I think he meant the literal definition of work rate guys who do less and work slower not "bad wrestlers."

Unfortunately, to some indy fans that's the same thing. I'm sure there are people out there who think that Blk JEEZ is a much better worker than say, Steve Corino, even though Steve takes the time to tell stories and has WAY more big match experience because of his time in Japan. But he does sick flips, you see.

We have a lucha thread now, and I'd certainly be intereted in updates there if anyone has any knowledge of signed talent for it. Could be cool if there's good ROH and Japanese talent. Shame NJPW can't send guys since they work with CMLL.

During Nitro last night somebody mentioned Matt Hardy is the captain for team TNA.

So either Today's or Yesterday's Philly Daily News had Nick Gage on the cover, and a 3 page spread on him.

News is really slow in Philly I guess.

In fairness, if you ignore him being a poo poo wrestler, the story "Deathmatch wrestler hopelessly addicted to drugs robs bank without covering face, goes to joint for a few years, comes back to wrestling" is a reasonably interesting story, especially if well written.

PWG has a lot of opportunities for singalongs these days. All Night Long, Bro Hymn, Brass Monkey, Psycho Killer...

Also, they just announced that Rock and Shock the Nation will also be Mystery Vortex III, so no card ahead of time. I still have a hunch that the title change might happen this show, since Roddy's rumored to be in Japan for the G-1 during Threemendous IV. Maybe the Ricochet match they've been building towards since Roddy stole the title from Kyle with a Candice run-in as revenge for what happened last week? Not typically the way to do a babyface title change, but it would let them get the belt off Roddy while keeping him strong.

Wait, who uses Brass Monkey?

We should also remember that he was a fair bit fatter when he began in the buisness, I think he said he was well over 300lbs when he started.

We poo poo a lot on IWA-MS around here (and it's totally justified) but the series of matches they had in IWA-MS were excellent with a really simple build of "Can Hero's wrestling ability overcome Joe's utter brutality?". And then eventually Hero got him to tap with a Hangman's Clutch (leave it to Hero to make a cravate look deadly).
