JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 From the Socaluncensored boards: Bradley/Slym over Tornado/Supa Badd Great match, Tornado took two sick bumps Bosh over Quicksilver and Hook (3way) decent match Talwar/Mercury over Disco/Ex Solid match, comedy spots and some stiffness Am Drag over Uk Kid What you would expect...and thats a good thing Pitbulls/PUMA over Daniels/B-boy/Gansta Quance Probably the match of the night...intense...stiff...and just great Super Dragon over Chris Hero Very good match. Dragon won with the top rope stomp to the head. Joe over Kazarian via DQ Both Dragons did run ins. SD ran in on Joe first. This could lead to an insane tag match for the next show...hopefully Lost def. Ryan when the First Family came in and attacked Joe, who had previously got ahold of the straps while ref. Knox was done, and gave Lost the titles. Lost is the newest member of the First Family. ----------------- Thoughts: -Awesome show -My friend had a great time and got to mark out and see his favorite wrestler, Chris Daniels. He got to meet him during intermission and was very happy. He says he's up for the 9th show, so we'll see what happens. -Hero/SD was my MOTN. -the ladder, 6-man and Joe/FK are tied for 2nd. -The opening tag was very good. -Please, no more of Bosh's ass. -UK Kid vs. AD was good. Kid didn't look that good like I have previously seen him, IMO. -Gangsta Bobby ownz, and Daniels with a bandana = gold. -AJ Styles. vs Bobby Quance at the next show. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN, PWG! -I'll miss Quance :-( -Get well soon, Homicide. -Also, get well soon as well, Bradley. -YAY FOR THE NEW DVDS! -Glad S.B.S. is back. -Seen Kazarian at the McDonald's and got to chat with him, which was awesome. Muchos gracias, PWG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 With all the upcoming big events for IWA:MS and ROH i had nearly forgotten about the PWG show. From the sounds of things it's another great indy show in a year of great shows, i'm especially glad to see that it looks like Super Dragon/Samoa Joe will be a full-on feud judging from the title match interference, more Dragon/Joe goodness makes the world a happy place.

PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 Some thoughts (BTW my star ratings like most star ratings are a joke.. not a funny joke but still a joke): - Nice to Hardkore Kidd back. Not sure if this was just a one night thing or if he is actually back for good. - Slymm/Bradley Vs. Tornado/Badd: was a fun opener. Everyone played their parts very well. Though Bradley's knee injury slowed it down toward the end, they recovered nicely I thought. Slymm/BB win after Bradley hits a lariat on Tornado (I think it was) *** 1/2 - Bosh Vs. Hook Vs. Quicksilver: Started off slow but got really good. Liked that they played off Hook's injury and worked over his leg. One thing I didn't like was Bosh pulling his pants down... there were kids in the crowd that didn't need to see that young man's ass. Bosh wins via a leg submission on Hook. *** (though that's minus ******* 1/2 for Mr. Bosh's lack of pants and minus ** 3/4 for the fact that Hook didn't sell the leg for a split second at exactly 04:54:47 into the match. That was totally THE SHITS learn to sell man!) - SBS Vs. Top Gun/Mercury: A solid match with some great comedy thrown in. Like the slow motion bits and Excalibur getting Disco to reposition Mercury (I think) Top Gun/Mercury finally get a big win after Mercury rolls Excalibur up. After the match Disco says that Top Gun/Mercury have come into there own and don't need him anymore. And gets the SBS "band" back together. Interesting, as it looked like Disco was turning on Excalibur as the match went on. ***** - American Dragon Vs. UK Kid: Good match. It seemed that the fact that UK Kid was from England really got the crowd going. Very effective heel... I hope he returns to PWG one day. Not the best AD match ever... but fun never the less. American Dragon wins after an Airplane spin IIRC ***** 1/2 - B-Boy/Daniels/Quance Vs. Havana Pitbulls/PUMA: Very very good match. Too many memorable moments to mention. Havana Pitbulls win after their Backbreaker/flying knee drop combo on B-Boy. My 2nd favorite match of the night. ************************************ (That's plus ******* 1/2 for Gangsta Bobby, but minus **** for no Homicide but plus **** 1/2 for Daniels so it evens out) - It's upsetting to hear about Homicide's accident. Daniels was a great replacement though (although seeing his shirts and stuff at the merch booth before hand sorta gave the surprise away....) - SD Vs. Hero: My Match of the night. I thought they worked very well together. They didn't need to empty their vast arsenal of moves on each other, they just worked a smart match. It all came off very well... Great moment where Hero dives through the ropes to the floor and hits a somersault senton on a grounded SD. I couldn't totally see it hit from my angle but from what I saw, it was pretty incredible. SD wins a very even match after a Top turnbuckle Double Stomp to the head. I really hope they book a rematch down the road. ************************************************* 1/4 - I really hope PWG brings Chris Hero back soon. I noticed the cheers were somewhat light when he entered but were huge when he exited. I think he won alot of people over with his performance here. More Hero please... - Kazarian Vs. Samoa Joe was another real good match. Sadly I don't remember many details from this one, other than that I remembered liking it. Finish came after Super Dragon and then American Dragon rushed the ring and attacked Joe causing the DQ. ********** 9.5/10 (that's minus 0.5/10 * for the DQ) - I really like The Samoa Joe vs. The Dragons angle. I think a future Double Dragons Vs. Joe/Frankie match or AD/SD/Daniels Vs. Joe/Pitbulls, Joe Vs. AD Vs. SD or something like that would be very good. The sky is the limit with this feud. - Joey Ryan Vs. Scott Lost, Ladder Match: Good performance from both... just a shame that the crowd seemed dead here, still it was a great choice for the main event. Some brutal ladder shots in this one. It's hard to give an accurate distribution of just how sick the sounds that ladder made were. Like when Ryan slammed the ladder down on to Lost... that sound was just disgusting. Other notable spots: Lost diamond cutting Ryan off the ladder, Lost hitting an elbow off the ladder, And Joey botching the Duff Drop off the ladder but the "botched" move actually looked alot sicker than the duff drop would have. The blood was anice touch too (The 1st Guerrilla Warfare match could have used that too) The finish came when Ryan grabbed the belts and then "The First Family" (no not George, Laura and The Twins but rather Frankie, Slymm and Bradley) ran out and attacked Ryan and gave Scott Lost the belts. The ref then woke up, saw Scott with the titles and awarded him the match. ******************* and an extra *********** for Lost joining Frankie and Co. - Great move putting Lost in the First Family stable. As the First Family now control all the gold in PWG. And it should be fun watching Joey try to get some payback... -Overall, it was another outstanding show... top to bottom. Pick it up when it's released.... - Picked up the new dvds. Really great stuff. Finally the return of the PWG block of promos! I really missed those things. They sorta remind of the those fantastic ECW pulp fiction promos from the mid-90s. Loved the "Low-Ki" cameo on Rocktoberfest. - Ok I'm done... now you see why I like to write previews rather than reviews. Just remember: PWG returns Oct. 9th with AJ Styles, Chris Daniels, Samoa Joe, SBS, Joey Ryan, PUMA, Bosh, The AXP, Top Gun, Mercury, Lost picks his new partner and the last PWG appearance of Bobby Quance and More. So don't miss that one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
