Winner: Michael Elgin

Star rating: (***3/4) – This was a heck of a battle. It set a heck of a benchmark for the rest of the card to follow as well. Both guys put on a heck a performance. The match started slow, but then they went all-out for the duration. Elgin’s no-selling of some big moves from Edwards down the stretch really fired up the crowd.

3 - - B-Boy & Famous B vs. The RockNes Monsters (Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime)

Excalibur made fun of the ref for ringing the bell with all four men in the ring. RockNes got some boos before the match began. Yuma jumped B-Boy from behind.

B countered a tandem airplane spin attempt from RockNes and the crowd fired up for the hot tag. B-Boy tagged in and ran wild.

B-Boy hit an exploder on Goodtime onto Yuma. He then shoved Yuma into Goodtime and hit a neck breaker on Goodtime forcing him to DDT Yuma. I hate moves that like. They’re so unrealistic.

Yuma got a rollup, but kicked him right in the face. They went to a big exchange that ended with B-Boy hitting an ace crusher on Goodtime and everyone was down.

B-Boy went to finish off Yuma, but got rolled up for the win.

Winners: Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime – This was just a flat match with the crowd dead for a lot of the action. The crowd seemed to really not enjoy the RockNes Monsters, particularly Yuma. This match never clicked despite some nice exchanges.

Richards then grabbed a kneeling cloverleaf, but Callihan escaped. Richards grabbed a STF, but Sami bit his hand. Richards then retaliated by hitting him with several headbutts to break free.

Callihan ended up getting the stretch muffler and Richards had nowhere to go so he tapped.

Winner: Sami Callihan

Star rating: (***3/4) – This was a really good match. Neither guy sold the submission work their opponent did well at all, but there were some fantastic exchanges down the stretch. Richards’s no-selling some big moves and kicking out at one got the crowd really hot before he eventually tapped out.

5 - - Rich Swann vs. Roderick Strong

They worked a Greco Roman knuckle spot during the match. Strong tried to hold Swann’s arms down on the mat and kneed his legs each time he tried to bridge up. Swann powered out and hit a crazy arm drag into a dropkick and the fans went nuts. Swann did the ten punches in the corner spot and did the sexy party dance, but Strong pushed him off and nailed him with some huge chops. Strong punched Swann to his knees and continued to chop him, so Swann raked his eyes. Swann chopped Strong and that only made him mad, so Strong ended up obliterating him with a big chop.

Strong then fired up and hit an insane pop-up back stabber for the win.

Winner: Rich Swann

Star rating: (***1/2) – Very good debut for Swann in PWG. Strong dominated a lot of the action, but Swann made some fantastic comebacks. They might have lost the crowd with all the nearfalls, but this was a fun match overall with some great exchanges. Strong’s chops and big back breakers are fantastic.

6 - - Brian Cage vs. Willie Mack

Big chant for both men to kick things off, although Mack’s was bigger. Mack no-sold a shoulder tackle and slapped Cage across the face. Cage went for another shoulder tackle moments later. Mack no-sold it and slapped him again. Mac then hit a flying shoulder tackle off the ropes to wipe out Cage. Cage went to the outside and Mack followed him.

Mack went for a diving lariat in the corner, but Cage got out of the way and hit a backbreaker on Mack, who was seated on the second rope.

The announcers said both men were in the title picture, but this wasn’t a #1 contender match. Cage ended up going for a lionsault, but Mack got out of the way.

Winner: Brian Cage

Star rating: (***) – The crowd was flat at times, but ended up getting drawn into the action as the match went on. There were some good back and forth exchanges and both men pulled off some impressive maneuvers given their size. I really liked how they actually told a story in the end with Cage continuing his heel run and hitting a low blow on Mack after he accidentally took out the ref. There were too many nearfalls during the course of the match, but they pulled things together in the end.

7 - - El Generico & Kenny Omega vs. The Young Bucks

Nick crotched himself walking the top rope before the match began. That was hilarious. Omega got a huge pop when he was introduced and a welcome back chant. Nick and Matt took turns throwing their shirts in Generico’s face after the bell rang. Generico ended up chopping Nick off the apron.

Winners: Kenny Omega & El Generico

Star rating: (****1/4) – This was an amazing match. They started with some long heat segments from the Young Bucks. Once Omega got the hot tag later in the match, the pace really picked up after the Young Bucks had used cheap tactics to keep Omega and Generico grounded at different times during the match. The crowd was so hot for this match and some of the sequences these two teams pulled off blew my mind. The crowd ate up every nearfall leading into the finish and it was simply awesome to see Omega back in a PWG ring. Where else are you going to see a crowd go nuts over an arm wrestling contest?

Steen got on the mic before the main event and told the fans Adam Cole had taken the belt, which is why he didn’t have it with him.

8 - - PWG Champion Kevin Steen vs. Ricochet vs. Michael Elgin – Triple Threat match

Elgin and Steen went face to face and ignored Ricochet. Ricochet tried to get into the mix, but they shoved him away. Ricochet took out both men with a backwards rolling kick.

Winner: Kevin Steen to retain the PWG Championship

Star rating: (***1/2) – There was just so much going on in this match that it was hard to keep track of everything. All three men pulled off some great spots during the match and if you enjoy this style of match, you’ll love what they put together. The highlight of the match was Ricochet hitting a SSP to the outside on Elgin and then going right up top and hitting one on Steen for a good nearfall. This was a short match by usual PWG main event standards, but it was fun.

Overall thoughts: (8.5) – This was another fantastic in-ring show from PWG. If you’re looking to see matches you won’t see anywhere else, PWG is the place to go and once again they delivered an all-star caliber lineup.

The undercard started off a little slowly with the exception of the Elgin-Edwards match, which was very good. Elgin took over for Steen when it came to pulling double duty on this show and was part of two really good matches on the same card.

The card really picked up steam with Callihan and Richards engaging in an all-out war with both men working leg submissions and building to a fantastic finish, although their selling needs some work if they’re going to get fans to buy into the submissions.

Rich Swann had a great debut for PWG on this show and the fans ate up his rapid-fire style of offense. Strong hit some sick looking maneuvers on Swann, including a huge pop-up back stabber that popped the crowd huge leading into the finish.

Kenny Omega & El Generico vs. The Young Bucks stole the show with an incredible tag team match that set the crowd on fire. They did a nice job of building the match around the Young Bucks heel tactics giving them the advantage before the action really heated up and all four men pulled off some fantastic exchanges leading into the finish. It was a blast seeing Omega back in PWG and the crowd was thrilled to see him.

The main event was really good, although it was a bit on the short side from what you would expect from a PWG main event. All three men went all out here and delivered some fantastic sequences during the match with rapid fire spots and nearfalls leading into the finish. Ricochet thrives in this kind of environment and he shined here. If you’re into this style of action, you’re going to love this match.

Overall, this was another really good card from PWG and if you’re looking for great wrestling in front of a hot crowd, this show is more than worth the price of admission.
