THere were many times i was impressed with spots and entertained at moments and I did have fun. But it seemed like a comedy show. I love mixing in humor. But every match full of sillyness? The antics, the spots, the selling? Why? This it the BOLA!!! Lets get fucking serious. It was a good show and i had a good time. But all the clowning around really took away from how great of matches all those great atheletes could have had. It really looked like everyone was trying to be goofy and have a funny match rather than a solid good match. I know PWG is always filled with humor, but this was pretty excessive especially for a tourny. It was almost like we had to wait for everyone to stop bullshitting around and start the match. Claudio vs Generico turned out to be pretty cool after a while. Edwards vs Strong was a solid match too. They were all good. Just short of there potential.
BTW I love when people shout complaints during Claudio matches about him getting his hair pulled. Its funny cuz his hair is shaved! Very clever guys!!!

SlayJ wrote:To each his own obviously. But I thought the balance between humorous interaction and serious ass kicking played perfectly last night. And despite a lot of the guys letting loose and having some fun, when things got down to business I was emotionally invested in to pretty much every match. And you can't tell me that Steen and Generico were out there looking for laughs in the Finals. I can understand the idea of wanting to see more guys bring the hate though. As much as I love the fact that PWG presents a ton of unique matchups and allows the wrestlers freedom to get a little wacky at times , I'm always down for a few more heated rivalries to go along with the random "Awesome Worker A" against "Awesome Worker B" stuff. Re-establishing the Steen-Generico fued is a step in the right direction. And if that isn't enough to put on Generico's plate, he also has a budding rivalry with Ricochet that should be awesome. I could also see a three way fued between the Young Bucks, Dynasty and RockNES Monsters turning nasty as well. So yeah, hopefully we'll be in line for a few more fueds in the near future that play out a bit more seriously. But the tongue-in-cheek aspect of PWG has been around since the beginning, and the fun atmosphere and crowd interactions are some of the main reasons I love being front row in Reseda every month.

I cannot make it to a Friday show, so one night is perfectly satisfactory for me. I think to make it worthwhile to have two nights, you need to book some really good and important singles matches for night one, like Ricochet vs. Generico (they still haven't settled that, right?). As it is, I thought it was an excellent show and I certainly got my money's worth. If this is what PWG felt was the best to do on the business side as well, then I cannot fault them for it.

08 was Saturday and Sunday. I remember because we were all wondering if Nick Jackson was going to make it in time since Matt's wedding was on the same day.
