PWG Card Subject To Change III
April 9, 2011
Reseda, CA

Joey Ryan Promo - Good promo. Brags about being the champ who made the title a world title and about how he will regain the title tonight. He promises that he'll keep tonight's match clean. He tells Claudio that he will make him tap out and pin him tonight.

"Pretty" Peter Avalon vs Johnny Yuma - 6/10
Good opener with bunch of comedy and lightweight moves. A great showing for both men with some good nearfalls towards the end.

Candice LaRae vs Portia Perez - 4/10
Not that good of a match, some stuff seemed sloppy and the finish kinda sucked. This match made me realized that Candice's wrestling quality during these years could had been the cause women's wrestling never picked up in PWG.

Willie Mack vs Roderick Strong - 7/10
Fantastic match. One of the best showings for Mack since his debut and Roddy was spot on with everything he did. Match started really technical and it quickly developed into a really stiff fight. the ending sequence was cool, but the actual execution of the final blow wasn't.

Low Ki vs Akira Tozawa - 8/10
Just as hard hitting as you would imagine, Low Ki made Tozawa look like a million dollars and Ki looked great coming out of his Kaval nightmare.

Ryan Taylor vs Johnny Goodtime - 5/10
wrestling wise it was good, both Taylor and Goodtime are really talented and athletic, but the match wasn't that good, terrible ending.

PWG World Title Match
Claudio Castagnoli (c) vs Joey Ryan - 8.5/10
Claudio was the MVP of the night, he had a great performance in this match. Joey, while not bad at all, you knew he wasn't going to win it at all, yet Claudio got a great match out of him. Match started with a little bit of comedy and technical wrestling, and soon the violence escalated.

PWG World Tag Team Title Match
Peligro Abejas! (Generico & Ricochet) (c) vs The Young Bucks - 7.5/10
Fun match and good action throughout. Generico and Ricochet played babyface in peril on separate occasions, and the Bucks are in the rise of the superkick party. Bucks regain the titles, and just like Generico cost the titles to Roddy, Ricochet now cost to the titles to generico.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Great show for PWG. The low being the women's match, but the night picked up with the second half of the show. This show, as the title suggests, had a lot of booking changes, but the matches ended up being quite interesting, surely Ki vs Tozawa wasn't planned and thank go we got it.
