Just ran into the "Miz is a jobber!" fan. Just figured that's a bit noteworthy.
There's also a vocal juggalo section at this show.

When does the show start? Got off work early and would be able to go now... Made it! Got last minute tickets and ended up sitting in the 2nd row! Which is funny cause a big portion of the audience had to stand up the whole show due to a lack of seats. Anyway...BEST SHOW EVER! I would've paid a s*** ton just for that Legends Royal Rumble. Between that and Jake the Snake, it was wrestling nerd heaven! But, man, did the PWG regulars deliver... I would classify Loki-Richards, Steen-Hero & Generico-Castagnoli all as "f***ing awesome". Oh, and the Juggalos were just the worst. |

Oh, and the Juggalos were just the worst. I would say Low-Ki-Davey and from the Legends Battle Royale to the end as f***ING AMAZING Also, I would mark the f*** out if PWG took up Kevin Steen's claim that he could be a a one-man wrecking crew at the DDT4. |

Really enjoyed the show. Better than the ROH show the night before. And this comes from a guy who is not familiar with either company.

I liked the show, for the most part.
The MOTN was easily Hero/Steen, with El Generico/Claudio right behind it.
I couldn't really get into Davey/Ki down the stretch, as it seemed the match ended abruptly. It seemed like 15 minutes of a 30 minute classic, so when Low Ki won I was pretty shocked for a moment.
Helms was fat. Him and Matt Hardy have been working out together, from the looks of it.
Legends battle royale was a promising concept, however it did go a bit long. I counted nearly 25 minutes, which considering the talent involved, is about 10 minutes too much. Plus it didn't end until midnight, which really sucked at the time because we all knew there were three matches still to come. Last thing I had wanted was a PWG regulars match to have to be rushed because Shane Helms and Joey Ryan needed 5 more minutes to have their mat classic.
Claudio vs. Generico was a very technically sound match, with an awesome story to it. However, the crowd was pretty dead, with some people yawning and openly calling for them to end it. There was a guy sitting behind me saying something to the sound of "Let's end this already, the Royal Rumble is tomorrow!" whatever that means...
The tag match had a bunch of sick innovative spots, and Steen killing Johnny Yuma popped the tired crowd a bunch.
All in all, the show was good, but suffered by starting around 9 and having the undercard eat up 3 hours all by itself.
The Juggalo presence was noted by Excalibur in his opening monologue. I happened to be sitting by a gathering of them (no pun intended), who were holding up JCP signs and openly yelling "Family! Family!" and just being really loud and obnoxious. It really did sour me on ICP simply because their fans seem like complete idiots, at least those devoted enough to draw attention to themselves at a wrestling show at the expense of the show itself. It was pretty funny for them to be silenced by Excalibur, as it drew one of the biggest pops of the entire evening.
