If they do leave I want their final shows to be DDT4 this year, officially passing the torch to another team(s). Make it a multiple night one as well as I have posted before for fantasy booking this years DDT4. Will be very sad to see them leave but as others have said they have done everything there is to do as a tag team in the company. I love YB, but it will be really refreshing to have another team as the cornerstone team of PWG. Assuming this is with.respect to signing ROH exclusive contracts, why would the Bucks leave? They're a part of the booking team(they help bring in a lot of the new talent) and they're, to me, the most important wrestlers on the roster with respect to growing the PWG brand. Next to Joey, the Young Bucks are PWG. If they left, a significant chunk of what has made PWG, PWG in recent years would disappear. It wouldn't be the same. Not to mention that the Bucks love PWG. I feel like they're at their best inside the.walls of the Legion Hall. Not to mention that.without PWG, the Bucks would moat likely be no where near where they are now. I feel like they're loyal to PWG.

Watched most of From Outta Nowhere last night and it was, of course, PWG fun of the highest degree. Chuck Taylor on commentary is worth the price of the DVD alone. He's operating on CM Punk in NXT levels of commentary greatness at this point. Especially during the Sydal/Ricochet match.
"Speedball" Mike Bailey vs. Biff Busick Wasn't expecting much out of this one, but Bailey really brought some crazy moves. For an opener the crowd was coming unglued already.
Cedric Alexander vs. Tommaso Ciampa Probably should have been the actual opener. Fun match, solid moves all around but didn't have the WTF factor that bailey/busick did. Both guys are really solid though. Wouldn't mind seeing either one of these guys move up the card eventually.
Beaver Boys (Alex Reynolds & John Silver) vs. Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent?) Super fun match. Best Friends were cracking me up the whole time and Chuck Taylor being peer pressured into a standing moonsault was priceless. There was a whole bit with imaginary jizz on a rag that sounds stupid, but actually was quite entertaining. Beaver Boys seemed to fit right in at PWG so hope to see them again in the future. Best Friends are probably one of the most entertaining tag teams on a second by second basis for me. They make every little moment fun as heck.
ACH vs. AR Fox Very entertaining match, but not quite the flipfest you'd expect from these guys. They brought back the imaginary jizz rag from the previous match and we saw Stone Cold ACH for a bit. Highly enjoyable though.
Drew Gulak vs. Chris Hero If you know what these guys are all about you can pretty much imagine how this match went down. chain/strike/submissions. Not to say it wasn't entertaining, because it was. Hero's style definitely has left a mark on the indie scene with his contemporaries and this had that student/teacher dynamic in some ways.
Ricochet vs. Matt Sydal 100% entertainment. Both in ring and on commentary. Chuckie T had some of his best commentary lines of the night in this one. Definitely definitely a great match from these guys. Its interesting how they put their own different spin on to the same kind of "high risk" wrestling styles. They both do flips and whatnot but really do a good job of infusing their personalities into them to create a clear difference between the two.
Monster Mafia (Josh Alexander & Ethan Page) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) The Young Bucks have putting on a tag team clinic down to a science at this point. Plus their shout out to Meltzer was hilarious. I love how cartoonish and ott they are with being a heel. These guys are legit wrestling masterminds to me. Monster Mafia held their own and even got over a little with Reseda, which is impressive. Ethan Page works better in a team than he does on his own.
Haven't got to Roderic/Lee yet.

I only quoted the Young Bucks part because I wanted to talk about them. Honestly they turned every criticism of them into their gimmick they are the most meta team I have ever seen and I love it a lot.

I feel like anyone who says the YBs showboat too much is just grasping at straws. There's no proof of that out there at all. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}

There's no proof of that out there at all. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} one time i was watching a YB match with a friend, and he said the four back handsprings Matt Jackson did before a back rake were completely unnecessary. i asked him if we were watching the same match, cause i didn't see any unnecessary moves.

Came back home from my WM holiday and F.O.O.N was waiting . Watched Bailey/Busick and Ricochet/Sydal earlier (and a bit of Lee/Strong), Ricochet/Sydal is truly fantastic and Bailey has a hell of a future in PWG. Now going to watch the show in its entirety Can't wait to see the results for tonights show as well

Just got back from the Legion Hall. Man, if you thought From Out of Nowhere was good...you just wait to watch Don't Sweat the Technique. Here are my notes from this show:
- I thought I was going to have to buy a ticket at the door since tickets for this show sold out in 3 goddamn minutes when they went on sale. Luckily, I met some guys who were nice enough to sell me an extra GA ticket they had since someone in their group didn't make it. Who says PWG fans aren't the best in the world?
- The lines at the shows can no longer be referred to officially as lines. They're just amorphous blobs pretending to be lines.
- The Rousey contingent minus Ronda was there. They don't really do anything for me; I'm just mentioning that they were at the show.
- You can tell that Cage's time in LU/AAA is paying off because he seems more fluid and confident in everything he does. Outside of a botch, he was better than I've seen him before. Also, Biff was awesome as always and I'm really liking Biff in the opener's spot.
- Mike Bailey vs. Trevor Lee = Mind. Blown. Man, what a f***ing match this was. Awesome stuff. Mike Bailey still looks like he's 13, though.
- Beaver Boys are getting over as a heel tag team. I like it a lot. Surprisingly, Monster Mafia was the heel team(They were working the Rousey group hardcore during their match) and seemed to embrace it in their match as well. This bodes well I think, since the constant teams in PWG are now even as far as face/heel now. I also hope the Sabin/Sydal team remains a permanent fixture because they're fantastic together.
- I'm glad everybody is getting on the "Yay! Candice! Boo! Joey!" bandwagon at the live shows. Joey deserves all the boos.
- Everybody still hates Elvis Ref. In fact, I think the hate has gotten stronger.
- Tommy End is a badass. I knew nothing about him really before his match. He looks like a maniac and wrestles like one too. Held more than his own against Hero. I can't wait to see him against other heavy/technical wrestlers like Gulak, Ciampa, Biff, Roddy, etc.
- ACH/Ciampa was a lot of fun. It was a good match to put on post intermission to get the crowd back into the swing of things.
- After watching the Everett/Ricochet match, you would think that Andrew hasn't been gone for almost a year. He was quick and didn't look like his injury slowed him down at all. He even went for a double moonsault (which looked amazing, btw) in the match. In the end, both guys looked like a million bucks.
- The Main Event was incredible. Roddy beat the crap out of ZSJ, but Sabre Jr really is the best technical wrestler in the world today. So smooth and definitely gave Roddy a run for his money. The crowd was incredibly hot for this match. Man, it really is a pleasure seeing ZSJ wrestle live.
- Speaking of the crowd, it was the liveliest I've seen (personally) since BOLA. Lots of fun being a part of the crowd tonight.

I fell asleep last night due to jetlag, but finally watched Lee vs Strong all the way though. What a f***ing match! So stiff as well, I wouldn't compare it to Reigns vs Lesnar in stiffness (due to seeing that live at Mania which probably added to it), but damn that so f***ing brutal in the best way possible.
Lee is just getting naturally bigger and bigger, and he is only 21. It doesn't look unnatural, it just looks like he buffs up every show and just looks even more legit than the show before. It then exaggerates his quirky character, mannerisms and charisma. The guy plays one of the best underdogs I have ever seen, he can just get so many people behind him by his brilliant selling and being able to gain so much sympathy. The fact that ROH isn't falling overthemselves trying to get Lee to make an appearance for them is baffling to me, because he is the real deal. He is a future PWG Champion no doubt about it, and I can't wait for him to eventually nail the package piledriver.
Roddy played his part perfectly, great old school chess match physcology constantly swinging back and forth momentum, but each time the heel getting it back in his favor somehow. Excalibur and Hero were PERFECT on commmentary in putting over both guys, making it feel like an even bigger match and big fight feel.
Can't wait to see Bailey/Lee and ZSJ/Roddy (and Ricochet/Everett). I do wonder who gets the next shot now that Roddy won against ZSJ, and what the next show will be....
Would be amazing to finally see ACH get a shot at the title, could imagine him and Roddy having a great match together.

I think you're confusing moves, my man. He hit a small package piledriver aka God's Last Gift, Tyler Black's old finishing move. He didn't hit the package piledriver.

Oh I see, excuse me in my jetlagged state. Still nice, someone should be using that move now anyway it's great! Especially since E has stopped Black/Rollins from using it. It's a brilliant finisher and perfect for Lee. Completely makes sense that he would go for the piledriver version of it as well since he has won with the small package so many times before.
