BRM Reviews PWG All-Star Weekend: Night 1

[Big Red Machine]

PWG All-Star Weekend: Night 1 (4/1/2005)- Hollywood, CA

TOP GUN TALWAR, RONIN, DAVEY RICHARDS, & HOOK BOMBERRY vs. DISCO MACHINE, EXCALIBUR, ZOKRE, & PHOENIX STAR- 6.25/10

CHRIS HERO vs. CHRIS SABIN- 6.75/10
Awesome technical match and Hero busts out an absolutely sick-looking Cravate-Crossface.

PETEY WILLIAMS vs. JOHNNY STORM- 5.75/10
Nowhere near as much high-flying stuff as I was expecting.

DRAGON SOLDIER & PUMA vs. THE HAVANA PITBULLS (Ricky Reyes & Rocky Romero)- 5/10
Very dull match. The Pitbulls looked decent, but Dragon Soldier & Puma… not so much.

BRYAN DANIELSON vs. JAMES GIBSON- 8.25/10.
Awesome match. I could watch these two wrestle for a week straight and not get board.

JOEY RYAN, SCOTT LOST, & CHRIS BOSH vs. FRANKIE KAZARIAN & THE AERIAL EXPRESS (w/Dino Winwood)- 6.5/10

TNA X-DIVISION TITLE MATCH: Christopher Daniels(c) vs. Alex Shelley- 6.75/10
This match was marred by a super- obnoxious fan, but hearing the rest of the arena give him a “SHUT THE F*CK UP!” chant was very satisfying.

POST0MATCH SEGMENT- great. Daniels cut a great promo saying that he will be a fighting champion, setting up his angle for the remainder of his reign, and this segment also set up Hero challenging for the belt the next night.

#1 CONTENDERSHIP MATCH: AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe- 7.25/10

PWG WORLD TITLE MATCH: Super Dragon(c) vs. El Generico vs. Kevin Steen- 8.5/10
Sick, stiff, hard-hitting awesomeness.

Overall, an awesome show from PWG. Easy to sit through, tons of fun, and GREAT wrestling.
