I'm bummed we're following Bucks vs. Gen Next fallout with Bucks vs. ... Dynasty. Not that it'll be a bad match, and Dynasty did go 2-0 at ASW, but that's a step down. Generico/Ricochet vs. Strong/Shelley should be INSANE, though, so my complaining is done.

PAC vs. Steen now? With Steen in the best shape he's been in, in years? Yep. That'll do just fine with me.

Hero/Ki II... I hope it's even stiffer than last time. Who wins? This is honestly a huge toss-up to me. Ki hardly loses once, let alone twice, let alone twice in a row. But Hero is always a solid bet to win, and he's probably going to be around longer. AND I think there's more to gain from a Claudio/Hero rematch than Claudio/Ki.

Claudio vs. Davey will be incredible. I don't see Davey winning, but how in the hell does Claudio put away one of the most resilient, hard to keep down wrestlers in the world?

Avalon/Gatson will be just fine, and Fightin' Taylor Boys/RockNES will be a super fun opener as always.

Overall this card is pretty incredible, and has more than a fighting chance to be on par with SEVEN. Not sure it can match up to Threemendous II, though, which is pretty much untouchable to me at this point.

I sure hope people can figure out how to navigate away their chairs unlike last show, Im going to make a bold prediction and say that with Pac and Ricochet on the same show there may be some flying to the outside.

also, I was thinking PWG would name the show, The Ocho

HELL YEAH! The Ocho would've been an awesome name for this show

sorry that you have to go to comic con . . . that doesn't sound right

Great to see PAC return.

PAC vs Steen was great all those years ago, great looking show.

According to Meltzer, their ROH exclusivity contracts expired back in April and have not resigned, so they're working freelance. Thus, the E can scout them if they wish. Though everyone is more curious about Benjamin and Haas and whether or not they'll sign the ROH contracts.

Amazing card, but one thing is missing, the Guerrilla Warfare Match.

there's no feud/ storyline to justify it....a match like that is pointless without a good feud behind it

It's PWG, just chuck something together and then loosely tie it to something.

Exactly. But I'm not complaining about anything, the card is great as it is, its just the guerrilla warfare match has become part of anniversary show tradition. Low Ki vs Hero could be a great Guerrilla Warfare match. They don't even have to use a lot of weapons either, just few table spots would be enough combining it with some incredible strong style action. Although Hero and Low Ki don't really have a feud, they have an unfinished business dating back to BOLA 2008. They can settle it in Guerrilla Warfare style match to prove who is the toughest.

.........no. Just let them actually build to it with a real blood feud (Or as close to a blood feud as PWG can manage being so comedic). I guarantee if they had a Guerrilla Warfare Match at EIGHT, people would be complaining that whatever match got it, wouldn't have been worth of it, and while it was a great match, it would devalue the gimmick. PWG can put on great stuff on a show-to-show basis. Let a match like that, where the wrestlers are almost assured to come out with more injuries than a regular match, actually happen organically, with the purpose of ending a long-standing feud between two guys. Or tag teams, whatever.

exactly...in past years there was always some big feud to lead into it...having a match like that just to have it, well, that's Vince Russo style booking
