Most under-the-radar I've seen a PWG show be in terms of attention from general communities the week one's happening, but anyway the card for PWG 200 tonight

Jeff Cobb defends the world title against Bandido
The Rascalz defend the tag titles against Lucha Bros and LAX
Jonathan Gresham vs David Starr
Darby Allin vs Brody King
Trey Miguel vs Jake Atlas vs Jungle Boy
Laredo Kid vs Puma King
Aussie Open vs Best Friends

the show is very good on paper, but also it feels forgettable with the start of this year having so much wrestling news

Moreover it just sort of shows that the cycle of exclusive signings by various feds have sped up in the last year or two. The point of hype growth that guys used to debut at is now a point at which most of them have been harvested by the big leagues, so there's a lot of new and relatively unknown guys. It can't really be called the indie all-star game anymore.

It also shows how ROH has gotten the short end of the stick in the Name acquisition department, not to mention how Jeff Cobb is currently underpushed there.

Used to be I knew every name on a PWG card just by reputation alone, and now 50% of the undercard are guys I assume are just really well-liked regional stars who haven't broken through yet.

this is kinda what pwg was before it got huge. it had a main event scene of mostly top name indy talent but you'd have an undercard with RockNES monsters or the cutler brothers or other weird semi regional guys trying to get noticed. they were also far ahead of the curve when it came to pushes on guys like kenny omega/kevin steen/claudio/adam cole compared to other companies. it seems to me like the peak bubble has popped a little bit and PWG is resembling what it was before it started putting on the insane cards it was doing in 2013-recently. this is not a bad thing, its going to continue to be a great stage for these wrestlers to get themselves noticed.

When that Fusion gets uploaded to MLW's Youtube, if you're going to watch it, I recommend only watching the Lucha Bros match and skipping Tom Lawlor vs Low Ki: Stupid Cage Match Edition

Somehow their rushed 5 minute match was better, that ending was absurdly dumb even for pro wrestling cage matches, and the overlong post-match segment was to promote a new stable Starring Simon Gotch

Start with Kodaka vs Takeda as it's pretty easy to find and was one of the best death matches of the year in any company.

Thank you! I will start there! I do a death match presentation at a local anime con. First year I did King of the Death Match 95, last year I did FMW, this year however I'm kind of delving into more modern stuff that I'm not as familiar with so I'm going to be researching and learning a lot about BJW in the next few weeks.

It's not from BJW or Japan at all but watch the Fly Star vs Toxin Mask vs Mask match if you want a lucha death match vibe.

Worth noting that there was another Kasai/Takeda match after I write this and both are amazing. The August one is a little better but the Blood Christmas one is still a must-see if you wanna check out deathmatch stuff.

When I was 13 I read online that Tatanka was returning on the next Smackdown and I started freaking tf out because I was a mark for ECW after ONS and misread that for Tanaka. That was the first major disappointment I got from wrestling. The next one was Benoit.
