El Asian wrote:I think the rematch clause is just an unwritten rule in most of wrestling including PWG, I believe Hero used the same thing to miss BOLA that one year after losing the title to Bryan Danielson. Plus if Kyle or Sabre wins the title, it does have potential for a feud between those 2 later on.
Also, as pointed out, Angelico is out for 6 weeks due to injury, he probably might get replaced.

-Opener was Cage vs Dickenson, brutal stuff, stiff as hell, head drops. Dickenson should be brought back.
-Gulak vs Thatcher. Match of the night. Slow as hell, but in a good way. To be honest this match probally wouldn't have gotten over 3 years ago back when all the DGUSA guys were around.
-Sami vs Lee was kind of a let down to be honest. I thought it would have been a brawl, but it wasn't nearly as brutal as I thought it would be.
-Galloway vs Evans was a lot better then I thought. Promo before the match by Jack. Fun stuff, Drew throwing Jack all over the place.
-Speedball vs Cole. not much to say, good stuff.
-Sabre vs Tozawa. Before the match there were dueling chants of "Lets go Sabre" "Tozawa" that went on forever, then "This is awesome" and "Match of the year". The last one lead to a funny moment where Zach, Akira, and Knox went to the back. Incredible couple minutes. Fantastic match, great counter wrestling.
-The title match. Crowd was not into this at all. It was really awkward, the crowd didn't know how to react, we wanted to boo Roddy, but we didn't want Hero to win. It just wasn't the match we wanted to see.
-After the match Sabre came out. I really thought he was gonna win the title. Very anticlimatic ending to a otherwise very good show. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

Great review of the show. A couple of my quick thoughts:
I thought Dickenson looked amazing. I didn't think too much of him at first, but he stepped up and managed to keep up Cage in a "Big Man" type of fight. Cage took a couple of sick nasty bumps to the head. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a concussion halfway through the match. Dickensons is a mixture of Elgin Strength, Davey look and Dirty Daddy type of attitude. He should definitely be brought back.
Gulak and Thatcher had a great match, but I feel that Gulak is falling behind the rest of the PWG roster. His look and personality is no longer working for me. He was in Biff's shadow when they originally came in, and he is now loosing in every match he's in. I would pass on Gulak for future shows
What could of been the Match of the Night, Trevor vs Sami turned out to be really disappointing. I was really pumped up for this match before the show. I really enjoy the trash talking on twitter, they had a great brawl in the first few minutes into the match, and then it felt flat from there. Trevor carried the match and made Sami looked like a 50 year old man. And then out of nowhere, Trevor tapped out when he was right next to the ropes. Poor finish to what should of been MOTN.
Galloway vs Evans. Only 1 thing to say....please keep bringing Jack Evans back. He has the "It" factor with the talent to back it up.
Speedball vs Adam Cole. So happy to see Cole back. His the type of guy you love to hate, but don't want him to go away. Solid match.
To me, the last 2 matches had nothing to prove. There was no way Sabre or Strong were going to loose their respective matches. Knowing that, all you can do is sit back and wait for the inevitable to happen. As much as I enjoyed Sabre vs Tozawa, it was just too predictable with a weak ending. Sabre winning with a punt kick??? I believe that's a first.
Next PWG show needs to have Strong vs Sabre. Putting Strong with anybody else will pretty much be a waste of time.
