PWG Mystery Vortex II
PWG Mystery Vortex = An example that some shows can sell without even announcing a single match in the card. MV's theme is that the card is not announced, fans don't know who is coming out next, and wrestlers don't 'kayfabe' know who they are facing either.
Andrew Everett vs Trevor Lee vs Cedric Alexaner - 7/10
'Not Amish' Lee and 'PAC II' Everett doing their debuts. Cedric returning. Everett connects a SICK huracarana DDT. There is also an awesome looking counter to a flying crossbody, it's hard to explain, you gotta see it yourself. Fantastic spotty opening match, the best showing these guys could have asked for. Expect them all to come back.
B-Boy, Willie Mack, and Joey Ryan vs Gameboy Berserkers (RockNES Monsters and 'Pretty' Peter Avalon) - 5.5/10
This was your typical match with these guys, a lot of high flying and tag team moves by RockNes, Stiffness by B-Boy and Mack, Sleazyness by Ryan, and Avalon getting his ass kicked.
Anthony Nese vs Roderick Strong - 6/10
A change of pace from the previous matches, not much to say, great work by both.
African American Wolves vs Inner City Machine Guns vs Unbreakable Fucking Machines - 8/10
Well, this match just had everything. From Ryan Cage moonsault to the outside to Elgin and Ricochet Dance Off to ACH almost flying off of the ring with a running dropkick. Just an amazing match.
Tommaso Ciampa vs Chris Hero - 7.5/10
New chant "Chris Hero Ain't Nothin' To Fuck With". Hero started to try and go technical, Ciampa decided to go psychopath. There are just a whole lot of punches, kicks, knees, kicks, and every single one looks stiff, Puro like. But as good as the match was, finish was meh.
BTW, THIS is Rich Swann on commentary
Kyle O'Reilly vs Johnny Gargano - 9/10
Just by looking at the people involved, you can imagine this was the technical match of the night. Now, technical match of the year? Yes, we surely have a contender now. Not gonna say anything, this match just made the DVD worth buying.
PWG World Tag Team Titles Match
The Young Bucks (c) vs Best Friends - 8.5/10
Best False Finish - Heart Breaking - Finish Sequence EVER!
PWG World Title Match
Adam Cole (c) vs Candice LaRae - 7/10
The so-much-deserved title shot Candice (and all of us) were waiting for. Like every other Candice match, it was mostly a clinic on ohw to get your ass kicked, but Candice actually had some nice offense bursts now and then, but really hard to believe she ever had a chance. Joey and Hero both did commentary during the match, so they helped sell Candice like a legit threat, quoting their own past experiences with her. Crowd sings "I WANT CANDICE". End sucked, but it looked realistic. I wish there would have been a spot with The Bucks and having Ryan and Hero take them out, but oh well...
Adam Cole actually puts over Candice after the match....and no, it's still the same old Cole.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
A really good show from PWG considering that there wasn't any really epic dream matches on marquee, hell, there wasn't even a card announced. Unfortunately there was no mention as to why Drake didn't get his title shot which he won. Steen was absent, which i think it's the first time he's been out in years. Kyle vs Gargano definitely match of the night.
