I've never been to Chicago, if the cards for that weekend are good enough and I have enough vacation time left at work I might use that as an excuse to finally visit.

I got sunburnt for the first time in years on Sunday last year, but that's partially because we spent a few hours walking around the horrifying tourist trap that is Venice Beach beforehand.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

if you're already in the area and its not like a huge trip to just show up to the venue beforehand its pretty easy to find someone in line with an extra ticket they'll sell for face value

Orpheum doesn't mind it when SHINE does spots off the bar or when Saraya Knight decks a patron. That's a super sweet heart deal.

Also a lot of Ybor is owned or secretly invested in by Scientologist money. I know a lot of places down there have very strange bookings because certain types of stuff violates the ethical code of scientology or whatever. My cousin used to book musical acts in central FL and he always said Ybor was really shady because of all the strange SciTi influence on everything there.

can you throw out a few examples? My only experience with Scientology at length was insulting their religion and getting fired for it.

This is a longshot but I'm just going to put it on record so I look smart if it happens: I have a gut feeling that Super Dragon returns tonight and kicks Roddy out of Mt. Rushmore.

I could probably watch them wrestle 100 times and not get bored, they're really perfect rivals for each other. I mean, O'Reilly can have a great match with a broom but Zack really shines when there's somebody who can go toe-to-toe on the mat with him.

Full results:

Adam Cole def. Brian Cage (Only real dud of the night, it wasn't bad it was just aggressively mediocre. Really wish Tommy had been able to make this show)
Roderick Strong def. Timothy Thatcher (Very good, expected Roddy to put a guy over on his way out but now knowing how the show ended it makes more sense)
Jeff Cobb def. Trevor Lee (Also really good, probably would have given it an HM if it hadn't dragged as much in the beginning. Expected the crowd to pop more for Cobb's first win, but I guess he didn't start with a long losing streak like most debuts do)
Chuck Taylor def. Trent? (Kind of turned into a pseudo-Guerrilla Warfare match? There was a ladder and several thumbtack bumps involved, it was unexpectedly gnarly but good)
Marty Scurll def. Sami Callihan (Heavy on comedy stuff but surprisingly good, best match Sami's had in PWG since coming back by a wide margin)
Young Bucks def. Death By Elbow to retain the PWG World Tag Team Championships (Hero goaded the Bucks into putting the titles on the line before the match and there were a couple times near the end of the match I thought it was really going to happen. Great match)
Zack Sabre Jr. def. Kyle O'Reilly to retain the PWG World Championship (Outstanding, and the crowd got insanely hot for it. Goddamn I'm glad Kyle's back in Reseda.)
Zack Sabre Jr. def. Roderick Strong to retain the PWG World Championship

After the main event Kyle and Zack did the typical grand gesture of respect for each other, then Roddy ran in and attacked them both, got the mic and said he wasn't going to wait for his title rematch, he was taking it right now. He gave Zack the Gibson driver and the fireman's carry gutbuster but he kicked out, Zack didn't get much offense in but put Roddy in a couple pinning combinations. The Bucks ran in and tried to help but Zack kept kicking out, then Scurll ran in and helped Kyle clear them out. Cole came out and he and Roddy beat Zack down more, but he kicked out again, cleared Cole out of the ring, and reversed another Roddy move into a submission and tapped him out. Angelo declared him still PWG Champion again, then Roddy got the mic and said 'for now.' The crowd by now knows he's leaving (a decent section started a chant after his match with Thatcher earlier in the show), so everybody's chanting thank you at him, he pauses for a bit and then talks about how he's been in PWG for 11 years and made a lot of great memories and great friends, but the most important thing PWG gave him was meeting his fiance (she was on the stage and very emotional, it was sweet). Roddy talks about how he made the decision 2 years ago to make big changes to how he performed as a wrestler and how it meant so much to him that PWG gave him the platform for it and that the fans went along for the ride so completely. He invites the Bucks and Cole back out to the ring, they come out and talk to each other in a huddle then fake like they're going to attack him but then the four of them have a group hug instead. Roddy asks everyone else from the locker room to come out and thanks the promotion and crew and everyone who stepped in the ring with him and gave 100%, and says to them and all the fans 'I love every one of you, I never hated you.' It was a really heartwarming farewell all around, hopefully it makes the DVD.

i don't think anybody here stopped liking pwg a handful of us are just playing up the show we're going to as obviously superior to excite ourselves for this october along with playful ribbing of the lucky folks who get to see pwg shows live every month instead of waiting a really long time for the dvd turnaround

oatgan
Jan 15, 2009

I do wish the shows came out faster because my excitement for them has died down considerably by then but they have real jobs and still make bank on them so I understand why they don't rely on quick turnaround like some other indies who slap a dvd/vod together in under a week to fuel impulse purchases on a wave of social media hype

I tried to go to a PWG show in 2005 but our directions from Mapquest were poo poo and then a cop on Sunset gave us even worse directions, so we just got some fried chicken and went home. That's my PWG live story.
