“When Joey Ryan got released from TNA, it was the worst day of Super Dragon’s life,” says Excalibur. Of course, the first thing the returning Joey does is call out Candice. “I’m a changed man Candice, shake my hand,” says he.
Candice telegraphs Joey’s obvious trick, and elbows him to oblivion instead. She transitions right into a Black Widow, but Joey gets out and punches her straight in the mouth. She comes back with a beautiful rana off of the ropes, which makes Joey get the hell out. Ryan Taylor (booooooooo!) and Willie Mack come in now. Ryan no-sells a shoulderblock, but into a another slightly stern spear, amazingly, Taylor no-sells it again and tags out to Peter Avalon, who is the SCRAWNIEST wrestler I've ever seen, seriously a gale force breeze would snap this asshole, Avalon thinks he outsmarted B-Boy, and runs RIGHT INTO AN ELBOW that knocks him into a fortnight from now...cudos to him, he can sell brilliantly. Willie puts all three heels in the triple Tree of Woe, Candice and B-Boy join in for a triple dropkick.
THEN (and i was fooled momentarily) Ryan Taylor hits some dude in the audience, but he was a plant. To his credit, the fan sold it perfectly. Candice drops Joey with a stunner, and she tags into Willie Mack, who cleans house. I seriously enjoy Macks work. Willie hits rolling Wastelands and packs all three heels onto his shoulders for a TRIPLE SAMOAN DROP!
Willie sweeps Ryan Taylor off of the apron, and Joey spears B-Boy through the ropes. WILLIE HELPS CANDICE DIVE DOWN TO RANA JOEY OFF OF THE APRON ONTO EVERYBODY ELSE! TOPE CON HILO FROM WILLIE!
then came the JOey & Candice spot fest...BOOB-PLEX FROM JOEY! CANDICE DOUBLE STOMPS JOEY TO BREAK UP A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! . REVERSE RANA BY CANDICE ON JOEY! BALL-PLEX! TOPE SUICIDA DDT FROM CANDICE!
some dude who ive since learned was Scott lost hit an Ace Crusher on Ryan Taylor on the ring apron (GOOD, HOPE IT HURT) So that was the “plant”. . CHOCOLATE THUNDER DRIVER ON AVALON! Willie gets the win for his team in 17 minutes.
Steen and Excalibur on commentary here..Excalibur says that Cage takes more "supplements in a month than steen has took his whole life....
Anthony Nese was replacing Davey Richards here, but I found this a more interesting match anyway. I haven’t seen much of Nese aside from his cup of coffee in TNA, so I’m looking forward to see if he lives up the hype he was getting over at the Impact zone. Brian Cage needs to lay off the ‘roids though. I hope the steroids part is a joke, because he’s just MASSIVE
Cage is so bulked up that Nese can’t even tie his legs up. Wow, Cage looks fucking horrible in this match. Tony Nese is running circles around him. Nese hits a slick double jump rana, misses a pescado, and Cage drops him off his face on the apron. Cage hits a backbreaker for a two count. Cage looks BLOWN already. Nese dives in for a Lionsault, and a two count. Alabama Slam bomb gets two for Cage. Jesus, what happened to the Cage that was, ya know, a the fucking machine? he’s this bad here, I cant imagine how he woulda gone in the Richards match
! He finds the juice (hehe, pardon the pun) for a moonsault, but misses. NESE WITH A HUGE RUNNING BACKFLIP OUT TO THE FLOOR! “Do you think his archrival in high-school was James Nephew?” says Excalibur, and Steen cracks up after taking a few moments to figure it out. CAGE CATCHES NESE IN MID-AIR WITH A BRAINBUSTER! TWO COUNT! and he BRAINS NEESE WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!
Cage picks up the win with Weapon X in 13 minutes. They did just enough to ease into three star territory, but I’m worried about where Brian Cage is going. He’s sacrificing endurance for muscle, and it’s showing in his performance pretty blatantly, so much that Kevin Steen and Excalibur were eluding to it on commentary. I’m all for a good physique on a wrestler, because it seems more professional, but there’s pretty obviously a limit.
I’m all for Forever Hooligans ....BUT...i'm cant really stand the Rocknes Monsters..and thus the match done almost nothing for me
Romero drops Goodtime with a dropkick early on. Romero tosses Goodtime by his beard and dropkicks him in the head again for a two count. Koslov tags in and splashes Goodtime for a two count. Romero does his little “hogging the spotlight” deal, and they start fighting again, but guess what? They hug it out! Hilarious, The Monsters take control with some awesome hokey punches to Romero’s back..
The Hooligans go for the Contract Killer, but Yuma stops it and Goodtime DVD’s his partner on top of Koslov for a two count. Yuma EATS a jumping knee from Romero, who runs right into a facebuster from Goodtime…who turns right into a Koslov knee. DOUBLE STOMP TO ROMERO’S HEAD FROM GOODTIME! PLANCHA! SEX FACTOR FROM YUMA! NEARFALL! Mushroom Stomp scores, and Explosive Amnesia hits…
for TWO! CONTRACT KILLER! KOSLOV DIVES ONTO GOODTIME! Yuma stays down for three in 16 minutes...like i said, dont like the Monsters ..but they done good
Also known as murder, except without the criminal implications...ROFL.....Fox gets a taste of what he's in for, but gets cocky. Fox tries to use his speed to get the upperhand, but Elgin shakes off a dropkick and plants Fox down with a shoulderblock. He uses that to take control. Fox gets out of the vertical suplex and uses everything he can to get control himself. Fox does a ridiculous "look at me jumping thing" Chris Hero style, but DIVES TO THE FLOOR WITH AN IMPLODING SENTON! Fox looks for his legdrop, but Elgin moves. Fox dives out for a tope suicida, but ELGIN CATCHES HIM AND GIVES HIM A BLACK HOLE SLAM ON THE FLOOR! Elgin now hoists Fox up for the vertical suplex for a good minute and a half, complete with showboating for a two count.
Fox drops a leg on an apron-prone Elgin, but only gets two. HELLEVATOR FROM ELGIN! Fox powers out at 2. Deadlift German gets Elgin another nearfall, because AR Fox is stupid. Shiranui misses for Fox, who eats a heabutt. I like him and all, but Fox has NO fire in his strikes at all. Like, it's crazy how little he puts into it. Unless he's selling fatigue, then more power to him. I highly doubt that though, because HE JUST DID A RICOCHET DIVE OVER THE RINGPOST! SPINNING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Elgin kicks out.
DEADLIFT FALCON ARROW! HOLY SHIT! FOX KICKS OUT~! Good selling surprise by Elgin there. Not something you see from him much. Things head out to the apron, where FOX HITS A SHIRANUI ON THE APRON! 450 SPLASH SCORES! ELGIN KICKS OUT! Wow, that was beautiful. BUCKLE BOMB...
FOX COUNTERS AN ELGIN BOMB INTO A REVERSE RANA! Elgin MURDERS FOX WITH TWO STIFF BACKFISTS! IMPLODING ELGIN BOMB!~! Elgin finally picks up the win in an AWESOME 20 minutes. Elgin is just a scary talent at this point, racking up showstealers in every match he's in. This one was no different, especially considering he basically had a breathing ragdoll to work with.
I wasn't sure what to think about this match, I'm not a big fan of Kendrick EVER other three are in the same bag as Brian, doing nothing for me . That's not to say Kendrick isn't good or anything like that, I just don't find him all that entertaining. Different strokes for different folks.
Things start off hot and heavy with a CHICKEN FIGHT FEELING OUT PROCESS! Just when you thought the RockNES/FIST sequence on the apron back in March couldn't be topped, here you go. CHICKEN FIGHT SHOULDERTACKLE knocks Kendrick on his neck..."We just witnessed the hardest bump off of a shoulderblock ever," says color commentator Rick Knox.
Both Gargano and Taylor bail and find themsleves dropped by stereo tope suicidas! They try it again, but eat spears. A Chuckie T. dropkick gets two on Kendrick. TOPE CON HILO FROM CHUCKIE! London drops Gargano with a dropsault and DIVES DOWN ON TAYLOR AND GARGANO WITH A DOUBLE STOMP! 450 FROM KENDRICK! LONDON STAR PRESS! GARGANO BREAKS IT UP! HURTS DONUT FROM GARGANO! London kicks out. London DROPS Chuckie with a Bicycle Kick, but eats chair when he tries to capitalize with a pescado. CHUCK TAYLOR CATCHES KENDRICK OFF OF SLICED BREAD #2 AND HITS THE RAZOR'S EDGE/CUTTER! 17 minutes later, Gargano and Taylor pick up the win.
Ya know, since Perkins has impressed me lately in ROH & TNA, I'll be optimistic here, because if anyone can drag something awesome out of Chris Sabin, you deserve the benefit of the doubt.
It's faux-MMA city, but they pull off some pretty sweet counters. These guys are pulling off some wicked shit ...I won't excuse the many doofuses chanting "This is Wrestling" when that's literally what they've been watching for the last hour-and-a-half. TJ eats it on a drop toehold, but Kyle is all over him.
Now a "We Love Wrestling" chant starts up. I'll let that one slide because it's a compliment I guess. Kyle punts TJ in the back, and TJP doesn't like it all that much. Kyle jumps with a knee and hits a running paintbrush slap. TJ fakes Kyle out on a dropkick and slaps him, for a two count. Kyle pulls off a beautiful snap suplex, with TJ's arm stuck behind him. TJ either botches something horribly or has a good sense of psychology by having his arm give out on a springboard. I'm just glad they didn't repeat the spot. Kyle puts in a guillotine, but TJ eventually turns around into a Kimura. Detonation Kick...
O'Reilly looks for a super Regalplex, but TJ knocks him down. Kyle looks for it again and COUNTERS INTO A POWERBOMB! 450 EATS KNEES! STOMP, ELBOW, BRAINBUSTER! TJ KICKS OUT AGAIN! CROSS ARMBREAKER! TJP taps in 21 minutes.....Forgetting the fact that they basically forgot the armwork (TJ still sold it, but not enough that it mattered), this was fantastic.
Yep, Drake Younger As long as he doesn't staple shit to people, I'm cool with it. It's insane how likeable the dude is, though. As Kevin Steen says, he's a ray of sunshine
Cole wastes no time telling everyone to suck his dick, and that earns him a double asskicking. Steen shoves Cole's head in his groin area, and gives a little bow to round it off. Cole takes the honorary ass-kicking. Cole and Drake go at it in the ring, but Cole chucks the Psycho Shooter bringing the wrath of Kevin Steen. Cole fakes a a dive by trying to sit in a chair, but the chair BREAKS and DRAKE BUMRUSHES COLE WITH A TRAFFIC CONE! HE DROPS HIM DICK FIRST ON IT! Drake starts waffling bitches with a garbage can and BACK SUPLEXES COLE ON TOP OF IT! Drake wraps his head in the trashcan and BRAINS HIM WITH A CHAIR!
Drake brains Cole with a lariat after the champ disposes of Steen, and KILLS HIM WITH A STRAIGHT-JACKET PILEDRIVER! Cole avoids Drake's Landing through a table and GIVES HIM A PANAMA SUNRISE ON THE TABLE! STEEN HITS A POWERBOMB ON THE APRON! Younger kicks out...!
Steen sets some chairs all nicely together...and GIVES DRAKE A PACKAGE PILEDRIVER THROUGH THEM! Cole tries to steal the pin, but Steen saves! Cole superkicks Steen, Cole looks for the Panama Sunrise but STEEN MURDERS HIM WITH A TURNBUCKLE BRAINBUSTER! Drake pulls Steen out and goes for the cover, but COLE STEALS IT WITH A CRUCIFIX in 18 minutes. ...
Steen wasn't as big an entity, but he did a good job being the big bastard that wrecks shit for the fun of it. Another four star match in a line of them for this show.
AINT NO PARTY LIKE A SUPERKICK PARTY !...yeh, I know I say that all the time..but the boys usually erupt with flurries of superkicks....
Everyone takes turns shallacking Matt Jackson with a random assortment of strikes and backbreakers. The Bucks take control over everyone in crazy fashion. The Machine Guns hit stereo SSP's on the Bucks, but the DojoBros come in and splash the Machine Guns on top of the Bucks themselves. DojoBros look for a ladder, but everyone distracts them and THE MACHINE GUNS DIVE OUT WITH STEREO TOPE CON HILOS! Ricochet sets a ladder up in the ring, and RODDY GETS BACKDROPPED ON IT! LADDER RUN SENTON FROM NICK ON TOP OF EVERYONE ELSE!
The Bucks get an enormous ladder that doesn't even look healthy to touch, let alone kill people with. Matt hilariously does the back handspring, climbs the ladder, and rakes Rich Swann's back. Swann superkicks Matt as he drags him off of the big ladder, but Nick takes care of him. Nick thinks he's going to do his little ladder push, springboard thing but Swann ends him crotching him instead. Swann hits the Lethal Injection as Steen cracks up over Rich Swann apparently being a black Chris Jericho.
RODDY GIVES NICK A BACKBREAKER ON THE LADDER! SWANN DIVES OVER DOJOBROS AND FROG SPLASHES NICK! Ricochet sets up the big ladder, but Matt PUSHES HIM INTO A FUCKING ASAI MOONSAULT! MATT RAGDOLLS RICH INTO A LADDER! RICOCHET EATS A BUCKLE BOMB ON THE LADDER! Nick sets a table up on the floor as Matt climbs a smaller ladder for the belts, but Roddy and Eddie stop all that shit.
DEATH BY RODERICK! LARIAT FROM EDDIE! END OF HEARTACHE! DOUBLE STOMP FROM EDDIE! Eddie puts Swann in the Achilles Lock, but RICOCHET CATCHES RODDY WITH A CUTTER OFF THE LADDER! Ricochet sets up the big ladder by the corner and DIVES THROUGH IT TO GIVE RODDY A SWINGING DDT! HE DIVES UNDER IT TO THE OUTSIDE!
NICK GIVES RICH SWANN A SUNSET POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLES! Ricochet is the last one standing, until the Bucks come in and HIT A FUCKING TANDEM TOMBSTONE FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER!
DojoBros now stops the Bucks but TRADE INSANE STRIKES! RODDY BRAINS NICK WITH A KNEE! Swann is somehow able to get into the ring, but can hardly stand. Swann tries to climb up, but THE DOJOBROS HIT A DOUBLESTOMP/POWERBOMB! The Bucks hit him low and get the belts in 20 minute of insanity.
Match was filled with death-defying shit that you probably aren't going to see anywhere else, and that's why we all love PWG. What better way to celebrate your tenth year of existence than putting on something that is strictly going to be a PWG product... Bring on the next ten years, says I.
