The Official PWG Thread (BOLA now including women!)

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Not much else to report, but funny how we get this announcement right after that thread about Bandido breaking Adam Cole's record by default.

Thought they would hold out till September for a huge BOLA return, August is even better!

now the question is how much of a roster rebuild are they going to have to do. a good number of wrestlers from their 2019 shows have signed with WWE, a large chunk is with AEW which running a lot more, and fly-in's from other countries are a no go. the ROH guys are probably still in play though

Unless something changed I think AEW wrestlers are allowed to work PWG events. Excalibur being one of the heads of the promotion probably helps with that.

I assume they're gonna re-establish their roster, feuds, and aspirations heading into BOLA which is their big shows of the year for MOTY candidates and unknown or rising indie talent to be seen.

Be interesting to see how they handle the Tag Titles situation, since they're currently held be Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz(aka Wes Lee & Nash Carter). I guess they could do a DDT4 for the vacant titles.

Gonna make a bold prediction and say Joe will be on the card.

[Natural Born Farmer]

Could see a lot of AEW and ROH talent showing out for this to give the promotion a restart with a bang.

Personally I’d rather see them bring in a couple big stars (Fenix and Darbs, maybe), get some luchadors to come in (Black Taurus, Titan, and Barbaro Cavernario, hopefully), then just get the best of the rest as far as the US indie scene.

If GCW is cool with it I’d also love Nick Gage to show up.

ETA: Mox showing up would also cause the internet to implode. To my knowledge he never wrestled there despite being a darling of the indie scene while PWG was getting big in Reseda.

[chazraps]

Now's a really good time for them to add more women.

Yeah, I'm guessing that with Excalibur, The Bucks, Knox, Brandon Cutler, Scorpio, Kazarian, etc making their bones in PWG, there won't be a problem letting AEW guys work there.

And since storylines don't really exist in PWG, how's about a DDT4 final between Jurassic Express and a reunited Men of Low Moral Fiber!?!?!?!

And this could also mean Peter Avalon's triumphant return!

Maybe even the Bryce/Knox match I've dreamt of for years upon years!!!!!

The possibilities are endless!!!!!

Today’s the day PWG returns! Any predictions on who shows up?

Would love if Chris Hero returned tonight, don’t think he has popped anywhere since released. Some new guys making waves like Chris Bey, Aj Gray, Jordan Oliver.

Would love to see Camp Leapfrog represented. like A Very Good Professional Wrestler, Matt Makowski, or Boomer Hatfield, though all of those are very unlikely.

In the realm of more likely is Omega & The Bucks. With the tag champs now in WWE would not be shocked if The Bucks somehow leave MV7 with them.

[thirteen3]

Can't wait to see this show in 3 years!

[TOK Hehe'd Around & Found Out]

Any chance we see Danielson tonight??

[Deleted]

Will Gillian Jacobs be there?

Just...just please don't do anything dumb, PWG.

Shows having unannounced cards post Speaking Out just adds an extra level of anxiety to proceedings.

Especially given this company’s connection to a particularly prolific offender.

And one of their last champions was someone who admitted they sexually assaulted someone.

Like I said, I just want to wake up tomorrow and have a sigh of relief. Anything that passes that threshold is a bonus.

Asking the real questions here

[Chiral]

I'm so out of the loop, is there a reason PWG isn't live here when like every other indy has livestreams of their stuff now?

To get access to all of the talent, cause they'll get AEW, ROH, NJPW etc but in order to get them they can't go live otherwise it'd affect the contracts with these companies
