    Kind of anti climatic... Ospreay wanted him at wrestle kingdom. You gotta be showing up on an ROH PPV or New Japan, never hear about Dragon Gate.

    Double 4.5. Lucha Libre at its finest, Ospreay in a David vs Goliath match.

    ALSO Pentagon & Fenix vs Flamita & Bandido from the AAW Destination Chicago show. This has been a fantastic year for tag teams in all the big companies.

    PWG ALL STAR WEEKEND 12 NIGHT 2

    Chuck Taylor vs Marty Scurll - 4
    Mark Andrews vs Evil Uno - 3.75

    Matt Sydal & Ricochet vs Chris Hero & JT Dunne - 4.5
    Trent vs Adam Cole - 4
    The Young Bucks vs Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish - 4.5
    ZSJ vs Roderick Strong - 4.25

    PWG HEAD LIKE A COLE (05/19/17)

    Keith Lee vs Trevor Lee - 4
    Matt Riddle & Jeff Cobb vs Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish - 4.5
    Michael Elgin vs Shane Strickland - 4.25
    Sami Callahan vs Adam Cole - 4.25
    Lio Rush vs Mark Haskins - 4
    Pentagon & Fenix vs The Young Bucks - 4.75
    ZSJ vs Trent - 4

    KING OF PRO WRESTLING

    Bullet Club OG's vs The Young Bucks/Chase Owens/Hangman Page - 4
    Ospreay/Goto/Ishii vs Suzuki/Taichi/Izuka - 3.5
    Naito/Sanada/BUSHI/X vs Okada/Yano/Sho & Yoh - 3.25
    ZSJ/Evil - N/A
    Kushida/Marty Scurll - 4.25
    Switchblade/Tanahashi - 4.25
    Omega/Ibushi/Cody - 5

    Essential show. Angles for Ospreay, Suzuki, Ishii, the new LIJ member, Jericho, and in the two main events. Triple threat was out of this world, as should be expected. If you didn't think Cody belonged with these guys before he certainly proved he does tonight.

    PWG is just the best. It's basically like watching a NXT supershow.

    I only have time rn to watch the triple threat. I thought it was fine and really good at points but there were some obvious botches and sputters here and there. I guess it's nice to freshen things up a little between big shows but I definitely prefer the usual main event epic over this stuff

    They just weren't in complete sync sometimes...dead spots, spots that didn't connect with the audience, moments didn't come off as they were planned

    It was a good match, it was really good, but just like the Cody title matches (imo) they are a downgrade compared to the regular main events

    I like Cody now , especially as a character but the guy plateaus so hard at 4.25*, even when working with the best guys in the world in the best company in the world he just can't elevate himself. Something just doesn't fully connect. It's odd , maybe it's just me

    But he did

    No clue what you're talking about with dead spots. All three had the crowd. If you're referring to the story, it's obviously harder for the live audience to see and pick up on the facial expressions which they relied on heavily. Crowd was hot so idk what to tell you.

    @Sign Language This is random, but I've always liked your usage of wrestling faces/emojis. In the right moment every time!
