Well seeing that "Eleven" is a week away and everybody is still rockin' the BOLA Boners, I figured I'd try to stir up a little 11th hour love for the 11th Anniversary show. I think with Kevin making his final appearance and all the new faces showing up in August, this really represents the end of an era for PWG. The line-up here is solid (and then some), but I can't help but wonder if the recent ticket selling success might prompt a surprise or two to be added to the show.
The fact that Kazarian and Daniels are teaming at BOLA would make the "surprise" of a Fallen Angel appearance at Eleven a little less impactful (no pun intended…seriously). But it would be cool to see the singles match between Kendrick and Kaz turn into Bad Attitude vs Londrick if at all possible. And for old times sake, a classic fun PWG style 6-man match would be awesome as well. I don't know how much (or how little) Excalibur and Super Dragon could do at this point. But here's a scenario... The RockNES Monsters and Peter Avalon (for example) come to the ring and call out any three members of the PWG locker room for a fight. Willie Mack or B-Boy walk out and say they're up for the challenge. Excalibur comes to the ring to calm things down, but a brawl breaks out. And while the heels are enjoying the three on two advantage out comes Super D to kick a little ass and win one for the home team. It wouldn't have to be a 5 Star 30 minute war…just 6 or 7 minutes of fun with a few big spots. But I think the fans would love something along those lines. Plus in this scenario you could work it out to have Steen and Chucky T call the match together which is my PWG dream team commentating duo. Yes, I know….far fetched, But it would be awesome!
Speaking of Kev, I think his match with Lee is going to be one of the highlights of 2014 in PWG. If nothing else it will be one of the most emotional matches EVER for a lot of us. There's probably nobody else on this planet who could smack me in the balls and yet be one of my favorite people ever! But Mr. Steen is a true gem and we've been lucky to have him as OUR guy for so long! And no matter what dumb new name the WWE gives him (Steenly Kevina?), I hope that he and Sami Zane tear shit up in 2015!!!!
The Bucks vs Joey and Candice…Guerrilla Warfare…CANNOT WAIT!!! The World's Cutest Tag Team might end up the World's Bloodiest Tag Team here. But you KNOW these four are going to BRING IT! Candice has been on fire in 2014 and as much as I love the Bucks, I think seeing a title change here would be pretty awesome.
Alexander vs ACH. A nice little nod to the future of PWG. Should be an excellent match. Quite possibly a show stealer. But I'm not sure what to think about Romero vs Ciampa. That match frankly does nothing for me. Two talented guys, but I feel like Ciampa's run in PWG has been pretty flat so far. And I don't see this changing that.
The Top of the card looks excellent. I think O'Reilly and Hero could have a classic as long as the night doesn't run too long and the crowd doesn't get burnt out early. It'll probably be a slow builder that becomes intense as fuck after awhile. I'd be shocked to see Kyle drop the strap this early though. The 3-Way Number One Contenders match is going to be off the charts. This has definite 5 Star potential. I love all three guys, but I'm rooting for Roddy all the way here! Best Friend's vs Unbreakable….I NEVER root against Chuck Taylor! GO BEST FRIENDS!!!!
So yeah, BOLA is gonna be epic….but this little nugget of an anniversary show has the potential to be solid gold as well!
