Early 3PW Card

[1234-5678 0]

AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels and 3PW champion Joey Matthews vs. Jerry Lynn are scheduled to headline 3PW's return to the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday 5/15. I believe Roadkill vs. The Blue Meanie will also be on that show.---reported by Mike Johnson

 

 

That would be cool, I think that would be Daniels' first appearance in 3PW.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

So TNA are fine with letting A.J, Lynn and Daniels work 3PW but not ROH cards then?

[Guest Markingout]

I will let someone else handle that one Deputy because I don't want another huge argument on this. Its happened to many times. I think its because people still think Feinstein is still with the company or something like that.

 

As for the card, anything with Daniels and Styles is great. Lynn and Matthews will have some great storytelling. Looks good so far

Well I guess this means Matthews is not "officially" under WWE developmental contract, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to step into the ring with an NWATNA wrestler such as Jerry Lynn next month, or with Raven like he did at the 3PW show that just past.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

I know its a specific ROH thing, it just really irks me that indy cards are being dictated by the whims of the Jarretts.

 

From what I understand, and I may be wrong, Matthews wrestles for OVW but he's not actually on a development contract, thus freeing him up for more dates. I don't know whether that works for or against him, though. I've seen him on the odd Heat or Velocity, so he's obviously been noticed at some point. Maybe he's been around too long to be offered a developmental? I guess they'd just sign him up to a proper contract if they were interested...

 

Another thing, when exactly did 3PW lose its momentum? They were fairly hot shit for a while, now they're just another indy fed. I stopped following them for a while, did they lose their streak immediately after the XPW/CZW Philly Wars and getting kicked out of Viking Hall? Also, how long did it take them to get back into running shows at Viking?

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

When were they more then an indy fed? Besides, I'd say they are at their best right now, good young talent, good vets, good angles.......the only wrestling I actually enjoy watching these days to be quite honest.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

I'm not talking wrestling-wise, I haven't actually seen anything they've put out for more than 6 months, just as far as perception goes. When the Philly Wars were going on, 3PW were seen as just a notch below XPW and CZW as far as buzz and exposure went. General interest in them seems to have decreased considerably.

[1234-5678 0]

I disagree.......the arrival of Raven, as well as guest appearances by Al Snow and Stevie Richards, and now with AJ Styles to be a regular..........they're probably at their peak.

 

Not to mention cult fav CJ O'Doyle.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

I'm glad to say I stand corrected. Their profile's certainly dipped from a UK perspective, being replaced by PWG and increasingly IWA Mid-South as the tapes to collect, but I'm glad that's not the case stateside. What's been the best event over the last 6 months or so to pick up on?

 

EDIT: Matt Stryker IS the same guy as Striker from ECWA, right?

No

[Guest DeputyHawk]

Huh. Sometimes Matt Stryker is listed as Matt Striker and sometimes Striker is Stryker.

 

...

 

Let's play Bamboozle!!!

MAIN EVENT: 3PW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!

NEW 3PW Heavyweight Champion JOEY MATTHEWS defends against JERRY LYNN!

He fought through the top competition in 3PW. He fought through the critics and naysayers who proclaimed him a career underachiever. More importantly, he fought through his own insecurities. Joey Matthews beat them all, and in doing so, defeated RAVEN to become 3PW Heavyweight Champion in the biggest achievement of his career. He isn't the biggest, nor is he the strongest. He isn't the highest flier, nor is he the most "extreme", but nobody can question the intelligence or the heart of the man who now sits atop the throne as the best wrestler in Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling.

 

Jerry Lynn knows the road that Joey Matthews has taken all too well. Like Matthews, Lynn is a tremendously skilled competitor who was considered too small and not tough or edgy enough to thrive in a hardcore environment, let alone the most extreme city on the planet. Like the new champ, "The New F'N Show" proved the critics wrong by winning the ECW title. Jerry Lynn earned the right to be considered the top dog in Philly and beyond, and now he wants to do it again.

 

Jerry Lynn arrived in 3PW earlier this year with a purpose: to climb the ladder and establish himself as the best wrestler in Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling. He immediately rekindled his long-standing rivalry with SABU, and gained a hard-fought victory over his oldest foe on April 17th. Now, on May 15th, an older, wiser Jerry Lynn returns to Viking Hall to take that final step to greatness...again. Can he reach the Promised Land, or will the new 3PW Champion continue the streak of his career by defeating the closest thing to himself in 3PW? They both have beaten the odds... they both have beaten the best... on May 15th, who will find a way to beat the other?

 

PURE WRESTLING EXCELLENCE!

"The Phenomenal" AJ STYLES goes up against the debuting "Fallen Angel" CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!

Since it's inception, 3PW has been a proving ground for the upper echelon of talent in our sport: every wrestler in the world realizes that they haven't done it all unless they've done it in Philly, in front of the greatest fans on the planet. Therefore, there was no question about whether a talent the caliber of Christopher Daniels would ever find his way to 3PW; it was simply a matter of "when". Thankfully, the wait is over, as the "Fallen Angel" prepares to touch down on the ECW Arena on May 15th. 3PW officials were quick to sign Daniels to a match against a man whom many consider to be equally...well, phenomenal, in AJ Styles, in what has the makings of an all-time classic. Both men are international superstars with huge fan followings. Both have appeared on worldwide pay-per-view. Both are technically superior, amazing high-flyers, and noted innovators. Most importantly, both have helped redefine the prototypical wrestler for the year 2004 and beyond. When reviewing the best matches of the past 2 years, more often than not, one of these men were involved: How awesome will it be when they go head-to-head for the first time in the most storied setting in Philly?

 

FORMER PARTNERS DO BATTLE!!

Until recently, the "Angry Amish Warrior" hasn't been all that angry. In fact, the man known as Roadkill has been downright content in 3PW, splitting his time between meaningless singles matches and teaming with wrestling's living court jester, the Blue Meanie. Enter RAVEN, who interrupted the aforementioned duo's recent tag match to accuse Roadkill of going "soft" and not looking out for his own best interests. Meanie tried to get his buddies' head back in the game, but the seeds of upheaval had been planted. Mid-match, Roadkill did the unthinkable, attacking his former friend and leaving him for dead. Like it or not, the new, even ANGRIER Roadkill, is now on his own.

 

On May 15th, the Blue Meanie and Roadkill will once again share a ring... not as partners, but as opponents. Roadkill wants to annihilate the man who represents the happy-go-lucky attitude that has held him back for years. Meanie wants to gain revenge for last month's heinous attack. No matter who survives this fight, one thing's for sure: this could be the END of a beautiful friendship.
