PWG house show report 1-30 Los Angeles
PWG held their biggest show in company history on Saturday night at the LAX Hilton as part of Wrestlereunion 4 weekend in Los Angeles.
-Show started with a promo with the Young Bucks, now going by Generation Me in TNA. They turned on Brian Kendrick and Paul London made the save.
1. The Cutler Brothers, Christina Von Erie and Ryan Taylor defeated Johnny Goodtime, LTP, Candice LeRae, and Malachi Jackson: Lots of spots in the opener. Finish saw Candice LeRae go for a moonsault, but was caught by one of the Cutlers which results in both Cutlers hitting a double team Tombstone Piledriver combo that looked sick.
2. Brandon Gatson defeated Brandon Bonham: This was Bonham's return match and he looked good in this. Crowd amused themselves with various "Let's Go Brandon" chants throughout.
After the match, Excalibur came out and announced due to the events earlier in the show and Chuck Taylor not being able to attend the event because of a snow storm, Brian Kendrick and Paul London would be reuniting that night to take on Generation Me.
3. Human Tornado defeated Super Crazy: Quick spotfest. Super Crazy looked pretty good in this. Tornado goes over after hitting a Dat Nigga Dead and a Spiral Tap on Crazy for the victory.
4. Davey Richards over Kevin Steen: This was a good mix of comedy and solid wrestling. Davey gets the win via armbar submission. Post match saw Davey cutting a promo saying he was gunning for Kenny Omega and the PWG World Championship.
5. The Great Muta & KAI defeated Joey Ryan & Scott Lost: Muta got a huge ovation from the fans. Muta didn't do much and moved pretty slow, but he did his trademark spots that the fans loved.
6. Jushin Thunder Liger defeated El Generico: Excellent match. These guys matched up so well and the fans loved this. The energy for both entrances really got the fans excited for this.
7. Brian Kendrick & Paul London defeated PWG World Tag Team Champions Generation Me in a non-title match: Long match that picked up in the final moments. London had some ring rust but was able to shake it off as things went on. Finish saw Kendrick hit Sliced Bread #2 followed up by London hitting a Shooting Star Press.
8. Rob Van Dam defeated Chris Hero & Roderick Strong in a Triple Threat Match: Went into this with low expectations, but was happy with this. I thought RVD wouldn't be doing much, but he had a good outing. RVD wins with a Five Star Frog Splash to send the fans home happy. Post match Chris Hero cut a promo putting over RVD and made a challenge to Kenny Omega for the PWG World Championship.
Notes:
-Crowd was the biggest in PWG history. There had to be more than 1000 people at the show. A lot more than the crowd at ROH the night before, and a way better show too.
-PWG used ROH's lighting and entrance setup. The show had a big time feel thanks to this.
-A band by the name Kushinator played entrance music for Brian Kendrick and Rob Van Dam. Their performance didn't go over well with the fans.
Next show is February 27th in Reseda featuring PWG World Champion Kenny Omega, PWG World Tag Team Champions Generation Me, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabim, Chris Hero, Roderick Strong, Davey Richards and more.
