I didnt think Ryan Taylor/TJP was that special, a lot of kicks and "fuck you's" from taylor on the plus side TJ was more over then he usaully is, some nice spots but overall... ehhh.
World title match was good but they didnt go all out here, Which I am not mad at consitering Steen has a concussion, Cage looked good and Steen was fucking halirious, Ive never seen him this funny. I wouldnt be surprised if they were holding back for a rematch.
Tag Title Match was fucking nuts, the table spot happened inches away from me, must see, SSB were the most over out of anybody so happy they won.

6 person tag: didnt care, dead crowd
Elgin/Mack was my favorite match of the night, I know Im the only one who thinks that but it was nice to see two big powerfull guys beating the crap out of each other. Dont get me wrong I love seeing fast paced action and high flying but this match was so diffrent then what we are used to seeing, my favorite Willie Mack match. I cant believe how over Elgin was, the only guys more over then him were Steen and the Smash Bros. A couple weeks ago I said I would go insane if he could hit a chaos theory on Mack, I went ape shit when he hit a DEADLIFT variation of that move, Just an awesome awesome match.
The main event was really good but the crowd was tired by this point (not that they wernt into it, its just after the previous match and the tag title match) good stuff.
over all a really good show, 2 great matches DDT4 was definatly better by the way, and that is in no way a knock on this one.

I did quit watching american wrestling around 1999, after WCW created a WC out of an actor. The booking going on during this period made me sick & I could see his company, with the greatest talent roster in history, falling apart...so I stopped watching it. I still kepted up with Japanese wrestling & i read the news in the WON.
Last year, I desided to get back into it and started going to the PWG shows. I even started watch some of the WWE TV, but got sick of that real fast. I did love the PWG shows. To me, the total cards are way better than anything I ever saw at the Olympic. Blows them away.
I also like the PWG fans. There very smart & they like being part of the show, but know the limits & don't take it too far. Most comments are usally right on & fun.
But to an old time fan, it's very strange. I was talking to another old time fan, Dan Westbrook who was the photographer for Gong Magazine, who went to a PWG show, and he was saying the same thing to me. It's all very strange to us. Your all smart & don't pretend to go by KF. You just want good matches, & so do I, but I ready don't understand how fans think today & what gets them off about today's wrestling. I don't get, completely, how they thing. The wrestlers comming out of character is herd for us old guys to get used to.
I know WCW & WWF got the idea over to some fans that wins & losses don't matter. I hate that idea. You need a type of storyline to create a reason for a match. Make it important. I don't mean the WWF style with writers & shit, but the promotion needs a form to it. Do it in the ring, like the Japanese, & don't kill things with too much talk. I know a small promotion has problems...I understand all of that....and what I've seen of PWG booking has been very good.
But I don't understand the mentality of indy fans, and I'm trying to understand how they think today, because I don't like being a dumbass. I'm trying to learn.
There also is a form of Kayfabe on this site, probably doesn't exist outside of it. They push the shows & all the comments are positive. You sell it like the matches as all great & everything wonderful. You don't really get down to why you really book thing, but try to present it in a show Biz way. Which is probably the way to sell it. But I have this way of wanting to cut thru the crap & get the real story. I'm kind of a jerk.
So I posted what I did. Didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone, but I thought I'd learn something.
I did.
But I am a fan & I do bitch. Just give me a reason I understand & I'm fine.
I think that's enough. I do enjoy the PWF & it's fans.
