Welcome to Moonside.

Wecomel to Soonmide.

Moonwel ot cosidme.
It's a pretty incredible field on paper, but I really had my heart set on Tozawa being there. Surprised that Ospreay is coming back as he's supposedly cutting way back on his indie dates, especially outside of the UK.

Just looking at the bracket it's tough for me to handicap this one, PWG tournaments are usually pretty easy to predict because the booking protects guys they plan on pushing and BOLA/DDT4 is just the extra bit to put them over the top, but there are a lot of people who are brand new or close enough to it (Cobb, Castle, Kamaitachi) that they haven't gotten a win yet. Speedball was a slam dunk if he hadn't gotten popped at the border, I had a suspicion that Thatcher or Galloway were next in line but they're not even in the field. I actually think Ospreay might win this one, as he's one of the only guys who has won enough matches in the promotion to have credibility and hasn't either won BOLA before or already lost to Zack in singles.

Cole and the Bucks vs. Haskins, Dunne, and End and Ricochet/Sydal vs. Scurll/Sabre for the tag matches on Night 1, imo

Actually if they wanted to do another 6-man GW match they could easily lay the groundwork for it during the Tommy/Cole match at Thirteen, although Tommy might not want to do a big no DQ match immediately before reporting to NXT.

He just came back from surgery pretty recently, right? The shows were probably mostly booked by the time he was even available.

That being said I would totally be down for Cuerno in PWG, especially if he's more affordable for them to book than Fenix and Pentagon.

Liger's way cooler than Ibushi anyway, and much more likely to care about having good matches at BOLA

Plus Ibushi could be signed already for all we know

How has it not occurred to Gabe to start booking Josh Alexander if Ethan Page is such a staple for WWN now?

They are doing separate things is the best answer I can give. Wish I was of more help.

Josh is doing AAW and Ethan is doing Freelance in Chicago. It is that type of dichotomy.

My guess is that if both of them are willing to wrestle on a major show like this, whatever personal issues they had with each other has been smoothed over by now. I remember seeing them chatting at the debut WWR show at Fete a few months ago.

Might as well work a program with each other since you know people will talk about it.

After the WWR show, Kimber did some guest training at whatever academy Dunn works at. I would imagine they're on good enough terms to work a match.

The 2010 Cibernetico at Dark Cibernetico. Admittedly that's 8vs8, but I don't think Pinkie ever had a singles match that was really worth it going out of your way to watch it.

Yeah, unfortunately using guys who are also under contract to ROH or TNA (and possibly AAA now?) prevents them from doing iPPVs. Evolve is pretty much the only indie I can think of that streams 100% of their shows, even ROH saves it for their big dates. I would hazard to say that Gabe building cards exclusively from freelancers so he can do iPPVs probably has a causal relationship with Evolve's live crowds being so consistently weak outside of the Mania weekend shows.

Their turnaround time for shipping shows has gotten better recently, they're actually completely caught up now when I know people were griping about it during the winter. Granted, the ASW11/Lemmy/Bowie/ASW12 run was spaced much closer together than PWG typically runs. They usually make a priority of getting BOLA out quickly, no doubt because it probably draws more interest then the rest of their shows combined.

Maybe there could be an issue with ippv, but CWF Mid-Atlantic eps from their shows go up as early as four days after a show and have included talent under contract to ROH (Cedric before he left) and TNA (Trevor and Andrew).

Live streams are way more costly than editing the footage together after the event, both in terms of infrastructure and live production. So I get them not doing iPPV.

But I don't even own a DVD or Bluray Player, so my choice for PWG is wait a really long time or :filez:

Pinkie strikes me as a guy who'd be a great tag guy paired with somebody who was a terrific wrestler but didn't have a ton of personality. Or a huge guy that allowed Pinkie to mouth off a lot.
