PWG Life During Wartime Results

[DangerousDamon 0]

Show begins with the usual dose of bad news: as announced yesterday, Jack Evans had been pulled by AAA. Further, Jay Briscoe no-showed with a text about being worried about a dude circling around his house (a shoot, I guess, albeit a weird little one). Jay has been fired. Roddy asks Generico to defend the tag belts with him tonight, and Generico accepts. Attendance is in the 350-400 range.

 

1.) Brandon Bonham beat Arik Cannon with a flipping piledriver (okay opener, with Bonham's big offense getting over well)

 

2.) T.J. Perkins & Hook Bomberry beat Mikey Nicholls & Charles Mercury with a bodypress reversal/tights-grab (TJ & Hook are really catching fire as a heel team and it was nice to see Charles back; a little disjointed, but a good match)

 

3.) Claudio Castagnoli beat Phoenix Star with a giant swing (fun, as Claudio versus a flyer will always be, but a few awkward moments, and the crowd wasn't really behind Phoenix Star)

 

4.) Necro Butcher beat Kikutaro via knockout (Kiku got knocked unconscious when he asked fans to throw a chair in the ring and got a dozen; a wildly entertaining comedy match, and worth seeing)

 

5.) The Young Bucks beat the Dynasty (Joey Ryan & Scott Lost) and KAZMA & MIYAWAKI with a backslide on Joey (a HELL of a spotty sprint that clicked perfectly and got over huge... the Bucks looked absolutely spectacular here)

 

6.) Scorpio Sky beat Chris Bosh with an Ace Crusher/Dragon Sleeper combo (great to see Bosh back, and he showed no ring-rust whatsoever; lots of great sequences, as their familiarity with each other was evident, and as good a Bosh singles match as I've ever seen; seemed like this was a farewell match and not a return, but that wasn't made explicit)

 

7.) The Age Of The Fall (Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black) beat Roderick Strong & El Generico with a Phoenix Splash on Generico to become the new PWG World Tag Team Champions (a very good tag match, but slightly disappointing, as AOTF aren't over as heels and the booking made this feel a little random)

 

8.) Chris Hero beat Human Tornado in a Guerrilla Warfare Cage Match, via a Candice LeRae leg-hook back suplex from the top of the cage, to become the new PWG World Champion (a heated, violent insane brawl, and infinitely more insane considering that Tornado's knee was in an immobilizer; Claudio, Necro and Candice all got involved, but unlike Joey and B-Boy two years ago, Hero and Tornado's hate felt like the focus the whole time; the best PWG cage match ever, an emphatic kickoff to Hero's title reign, and a helluva sendoff for the Tornado)

 

 

The Jay Briscoe bit is weird as hell. Tornado taking a bump from the top of the cage like that sounds insane.

Wait, I thought Human Tornado's knee was all kinds of fucked up, and he wasn't supposed to be back in the ring for like, a year? And now he's getting thrown off cages?

 

That's just fucking crazy, and not the good kind either.

PWG really does seem to have the worst luck in terms of no shows/pullouts/injuries.

 

Pleased to hear about Hero and A.O.T.F taking home gold, big fans of all those guys. The Hero/Tornado feud has sounded like good news, now I'm no longer a poor student might have to get some PWG stuff.

I'm interested in the Jay Briscoe stuff.

 

 

A dude circling his house? Time to Man Up!
