I don't get the hype for shynron. I like spot monkeys, but dude wrestles like a video game. And he has so much wasted movement.

I had no idea that Del Rio was even there, I didn't notice him approaching Galloway. Crowd popped big for Sami planting one on Castle though. Dude on dude action plays in California.

Results:

Adam Cole def. Dalton Castle
Michael Elgin def. Kamaitachi
Marty Scurll def. Mark Andrews
Trevor Lee def. Andrew Everett
Chris Hero def. Jeff Cobb
Drew Galloway def. Michael Elgin
Roderick Strong def. Sami Callihan

Galloway appears to be turning as he was acting pretty heelish on the mic and during the match, although that might just have been a one-off during that match to protect Elgin while he was filling in I'm not sure. He motioned after the match that he wants the belt and he would probably make a good foil to Zack so I wouldn't be surprised either way. Cobb/Hero was MOTN in my opinion, Hero did what Hero does and made Cobb look amazing. Crowd received both him and Kamaitachi pretty well, definitely better than the last couple debuts they've had (Castle excepted because come on, who expected that gimmick to not get over in Reseda). Callihan had a visual pin on Roddy but then Cole ran in and pulled Knox out of the ring, then Castle did the same for Sami later on, both of them got taken out by dives shortly after interfering. After the match Cole hit the ring to congratulate Roddy and then started beating down Callihan, then Castle made the save and they cleared the ring and he offered Sami the handshake but Sami kissed him instead.

Decent show but not the strongest they've put on tbh. I know they were running shorthanded because of guys being in Japan and Zack got hurt, but several matches were a little sloppy and/or never quite hit that extra gear that great PWG matches reach. Excalibur confirmed at the end of the show that Thirteen is next on the calendar, so no June show this year. Curious to see who will be available then and what that card will look like.

I agree with you, but like with every pwg show it was still a blast. I just wanna say. Hero made Cobb look like a million bucks. Also Hero might be the nicest dude in wrestling. He is always just willing to chat and hang out with fans.

I think now that Ricochet and O'Reilly have slowed down a bit from the ridiculous tear they were on 1-2 years ago, Chris Hero is probably my favorite wrestler in the world right now. He's just so loving good night in and night out and can get anybody over.

Agreed 110 percent.

Would not be at all surprised to see him face Cole, Trevor, or Roddy in Round 1 and then the Bucks in a trios match on either the first round day where he's not in the tourney or on Sunday. PWG is really the place to be to check off almost all of that list without signing a contract with ROH.

Somewhat surprising that they're making a BOLA announcement (and possibly more?) before anything about the Thirteen card.

That's kind of what they did last year too.

PWG doesn't do automatic title rematches and they've already run Roddy/Sabre in singles twice now. If they do have Roddy challenge for the title again it'd probably have to be a Guerrilla Warfare match, that would be the only real way to escalate things for a blowoff.

I could see them doing that at Bola

I got my tickets. I have a friend who buys tickets for a lot of people, and she was able to get 2 front row and 5 GA.

Standing room gets kind of lovely near the end but its really not that bad. I found the best spot for standing is next to the bar where the beer signs are.

Why hasn't ACH worked PWG more consistently? He seems like their kind of guy.

He was working with them pretty frequently not long ago, but they stopped booking him. I remember that he had heat with some wrestlers, but I'm not really sure why pwg stopped using him. People loved him.

Whatever gym that was that held BOLA 2008 was nice and big... but the acoustics bounced sound like crazy where you couldn't hear anything when someone was on the mic. The Legion is hot as hell but the acoustics are very good in person and on DVD.

That was at the armory in Burbank. It was a cool venue, but I dunno if it has that same feel PWG wants. Although considering how popular they have gotten lately maybe they would be able to fill the place. It's going to be a sad day though when they aren't doing the legion hall anymore.

I don't know or care but it's possible people would do it for the exposure or they are looking to wrestle the top dudes who wrestle there.

Or dudes who work for much larger companies than PWG with much more exposure are willing to put their work with other places at risk to work with a company like PWG. I don't know where anyone has gotten this story that PWG doesn't pay their wrestlers what they ask for.
