I feel it is almost pointless to go to future PWG shows, for I have seen... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Zack Sabre Jr vs Pentagon Jr No amount of drugs or alcohol can compare to the high I felt watching this from the first entrance to the last second

I've been largely disappointed in PWG this year outside of DSTT. Hopefully BOLA breaks that trend.

So The finals I'm pretty certain no one expected is: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Hero v Bailey v Sabre Jr. triplethreat is gonna poop himself. I totally did. Guys, I'm back from Night #3 and this BOLA was up there with last year's for best BOLA ever. I can't decide which one was better. Anyways, here are my notes for Night #3: - As always, f*** the Valley. But ESPECIALLY f*** the Valley in the Summer. God...it's so insanely hot. - They didn't open doors until 5:30 and the show didn't start until 6:15. A good 75 minutes after the supposed start time of 5 PM. PWG is definitely keeping their nebulous start time traditions strong. - So, the show started off kinda serious. I'm still not completely sure it was a shoot or not, but apparently Excalibur got a Grade 2 Shoulder separation last night. He actually sounded really emotional when he was telling us about it. If it's 100% real, I feel really bad for him. - Gerard Butler: Ring Announcer(aka Christian Cole) was late for whatever reason and so Excalibur also had to do the ring announcing for the first match - Justin Bordin(aka Fat Elvis Ref) came back tonight. I think the only person who gets more heat than he does in Roderick Strong. We hate his guts. - Konnan and Misterio were at the show. That was cool. Sadly no Nakamura though; despite the fact that he's been vacationing in So Cal all week long. -Speaking of that first match, the show started off with Cage/Evans. You know what...Jack's got a good thing going. He had this whole, "I'm way better than everyone associated with PWG" thing going on the whole weekend. He even cut a whole 5 minute promo right as the match started belittling Cage. The match was a lot of fun with a surprise finish to say the least. Reseda was not happy. - Second match was Biff/Hero. It shocks me that people are shocked that I dislike Hero as a wrestler so much. He's boring to me. Anyways, this match was a little short(and rightly so, given the fact Biff got annihilated last night by MR 2.0). Hero won. Boo. -Third match was Scurll/Lee. Again, this match ended with a surprise ending that left me a bit disappointed. Marty is over huge with the PWG crowd. It really is a testament to how good he is that in three days, he became such a fan favorite. Good on ya, Marty. - The fourth match blew the goddamn roof off the Legion Hall before a single move was even done. It was ZSJ/Pentagon Jr. The match got a "This is Awesome!" chant during the intros. The match did turn out to be amazing in every way. What a great match up this was. Pentagon Jr. got 'Please Come Back!' chants. I've heard through the grapevine that he and the rest of the Luchadores will definitely be back very soon. - Fifth we had Speedball v. Tommy End. I won't keep gushing over Speedball. All I'll say is that I f***ing love that guy so much. The match with Tommy was lots of fun and definitely kept the crowd pumped after ZSJ/Pentagon Jr - The sixth and final match before the intermission was Sydal/Osprey. I don't understand how Will Osprey is so good. Seriously, he's amazing. Anyways, this match was a solid hard hitting/high flying match you'd expect from PWG Jr. Heavyweights. Awesome way to end the first half. - So, Max Landis ordered 25 pizzas for everybody to eat during the intermission. I didn't get any, but I think it's pretty damn nice of him to do that for complete strangers. This entire moment just adds to the awesomeness that is PWG. Heading into Spoiler territory here: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}We started the second half with Mount Rushmore 2.0 v. Fenix/Angelico/ICMG. The match was chaotic and nuts as you would expect this match to be. Super Dragon took a really nasty ring post spot that pretty much ended the night for him. Regardless, the rest of the 2.0 picked up the slack. Roddy especially was a beast in this match. I really enjoyed this match.
- The BOLA tourney continued with Evans/Hero. Once again, Evans riled up the crowd by coming out completely bandaged up and cutting another promo. This time, he was belittling Hero and his physique. He made a claim that Hero had no moves that could hold Jack down for a 1 count, much less a pinfall. This was pretty important to the match as Jack kept kicking out of everything Hero was throwing at him at a '1' count. Hero finally put him away for good and I was very disappointed. As some of you may or may not know, my disdain for Hero the wrestling persona runs deep.
- After that we got Osprey/Bailey. Again, both guys just knocked it out of the park. I give full credit to Osprey either for commitment to selling or for actually working hurt, but he was limping the whole time. Osprey needs to come back immediately. He was awesome in a losing effort here.
- ZSJ and Marty Scurll had a literal mat classic. It was practically 30 minutes of some of the best technical wrestling(and some comedy too!) you'll see this year. I can't do it justice. Make sure to watch and savor this match when it comes out on DVD
- Finally, we get the loser tag. And wait...what's this? A Wild Ciampa and Chuck Taylor appear! Ciampa showed up just for this match and we "convinced" Chuckie T to come on down and he did! So now we had Team Five Man Bad (aka 5MB aka Best Amigos aka Best Friends/Aero-Star/Gulak/Galloway) v. Ciampa/Everett/Andrews/Thatcher/Drago. Now, last year's 10 man loser's tag holds a very special place in my heart since it had the whole 'Slow Motion' segment and Willie's sendoff. This match was almost as good. It had a 'Slow-mo' segment too and everybody looked like a million bucks. It was an incredibly fun match that ended with Best Friends scoring the pin fall and all ten men hugging it out with Chuck at the end. I really hope this wasn't the end for Chuck as a wrestler in PWG, but if it was, it was a hell of a send-off.
- Finally, the main event. Once again, I won't describe it because my words don't do it justice. Just watch it on DVD.
- Roddy comes out and just reminds ZSJ that when they face off, he(Roddy)'s going to "Beat the living shit" out ZSJ. Afterwards, ZSJ cut his post win promo where he said that he couldn't believe that a guy like him, from a small town in England, could do the awesome things and have all of the support he's gotten in Reseda. He pretty much said that he was grateful for the opportunity to prove himself as a worth BOLA winner in front of us all. The best part is though, is that he told us that after beating Roddy(probably at or in between any of the following shows), he's moving to California. So..f*** yeah! More ZSJ in PWG! - Afterwards, all of the Eurotrash came out to celebrate with ZSJ and that's how the show ended So, some final notes for the whole weekend: - Everybody that was new got over huge. I'm excited that's the case. The roster just got a HUGE boost with so many new match-ups. I can't wait. - Despite the bitching about the heat, Larry being a dick sometimes, being stuffed like sardines inside the Legion Hall, and the sudden/annoying price hikes, this weekend(and last year's BOLA did the same thing) reminded me while I love PWG/Wrestling so much. Be it hanging out with new or old friends in line before the show, bumping into other wrestlers/celebrites, having Max Landis order you pizza just because, going completely hoarse from cheering/marking out, and especially the BEST GODDAMN WRESTLING ON THIS PLANET, it's all worth it. It's cheesy to say. but it's true. I love PWG so goddamn much. They're just the best anything ever.

Pre ordered all three nights as always/like I did last year when I got back from work. £50 all together. Good job its payweek So many things to look forward to - The 3 previews - The next show announcements/roster developments. Despite the losses of the amazingly talented recently signed/rumored to be signed to E', they will more than bounce back thanks to the recently debuted guys. Hopefully giving us hints of who is the new regular/semi regular roster members going forward.It sounds like every BOLA debut was a success, so I can't wait to see them all again in a PWG ring and where they go in the future (Ospreay, Scrull, Fenix, Pentagon Jr especially. Ospreay is just on another level. Lee vs Ospreay, Ospreay/tag partner vs Bucks, Ospreay vs Everett, Ospreay vs Evans need to happen) - BOLA gets released - Soon as you know it, the next show happens

I have a hunch we'll be watching them this time next week
In other news, my Threemendous DVD is messed up! I played it for the first time and the Bailey/Hero match is completely unplayable. I tried my computer, DVD player, laptop, playing the video files straight from the folders, but that's the only match that I can't watch. Since that was my favorite match of the night, I'm a little disappointed. Hopefully Highspots has some kind of exchange policy

Looks awesome, but the sound on that preview is 90% Excalibur screaming w/ a little Chucky T squealing added in.

They didn't show much of Fenix/Sydal. With the rave reviews that match got I wonder if they want to save the majority of the action for the DVD.
It all looks amazing but Ospreay/Andrews, ICMG/LCDC and the 6 man tag look especially immense
