I heard that Cole defend the belt against the girl who teams with Joey Ryan Candice LeRae. I love Candice. |

Candice is awesome, really looking forward to watching that match. She's been absolutely dynamite since returning to PWG.

So...I finally received the order I put through via Highspots, and watched 'Matt Rushmore' with my brother... Jack, you were right about certain PWG shows not being 'amazing'; and of course you can only take so much away from the hype videos that come out from PWG...this one, quite frankly, IMHO, was below subpar. I like the whole 'Mount Rushmore of Professional Wrestling' idea and concept, but Jesus Christ, from the opening part to Steen's match, it's almost as if it's all about him - his match against ACH was the lowest point of the show for me...at one point I said to my brother 'It's pretty much Kevin Steen VS The Fans while ACH just happens to be there,' and ACH looked less than impressive here. (This is me knowing full well that Kevin Steen does this even when he's a face, but in this match - nah, it was too much TBH). I get it, he's a heel. doing those extra Package Piledrivers to ACH was overkill. The opening match was very entertaining, but again B-Boy proved to me why he will always be a proponent of X-Pac heat in my household; the unnecessary strikes setting up the finish for one. PPRay and Willie Mack did alright here IMO. Best Friends against Fox/Swan was good, and a welcome return to some fun. The fourway match was a lesson in...well, nothing really, and solidified a few things to us: Drake Younger cannot make us feel empathy for him, Ciampa is a limited waste of space and sadly as good as Anthony Nese is, it's for nought as seemingly no one in the Legion Hall cared about his efforts. Another slightly disappointing showing from Roddy, especially toward the end, and nothing taken away from Gargano, but these two just didn't gel for me; my brother agreed - too much 'you do something, I'll do something'. Thankfully, the tag title match was better from an excitement standpoint, and Candice did very well here, exceeding expectations...The Bucks proved again why they are such an amazing tag team, and have been for quite some time. I'm a fan of both Cole and O'Reilly, especially for guys that are quite young to be able to work long quality matches, but this one went a bit too long and I'll be honest; I know both guys need to look strong, but seeing O'Reilly kick out of everything under the sun; the inevitable interference by Steen and the Bucks; and then it had to be Steen to deliver yet another Package Piledriver to O'Reilly so that Cole could get the win... Look, I understand everything they showed, everything that happened and the desired effect, but it just didn't wash with me...I was disappointed. I understand the solidarity in Mount Rushmore, but for crying out loud, the fact that Cole pinned O'Reilly after Steen's PP (TO ME) meant that I saw Cole in a slightly weaker position despite him winning the match; he's the champion, he could've gotten the win after the Straight Jacket German, surely? I also wish that Legion Larry would invest in a better sound system for the Legion Hall; I couldn't make out a word Gargano said for the most part. I'm happy to support PWG as they are one of my favourite promotions, but this event sure was (for the most part) a dud. Not really a rant, nor a review, just my thoughts on it...cheers. I will respond, and add my thoughts to what my man Chris has already said. This show was very lackluster for me, it got the lowest rating I have given a PWG show...that speaks for itself. This show though I feel was just used to establish the new stable in PWG which I can kinda understand. From what I remember: Opener was solid, did its job. I love PPRay and Willie Mack...not so keen on BBoy, never does it for me. Steen and ACH match was just not good. What pissed me off was that they built ACH up so well at BOLA to then cut him right back down and make him look shit. He has never recovered from that in PWG for me. Yes, match was hilarious, but just left a sour taste in my mouth. Tag match was good, not great. Bits of it were really slow and a bit meh. It built up well to the end and it was a solid undercard match. I felt if it went another 5 more minutes it would have gone to that next level. 4 way was just a spotfest which didn't work for me. Drake is awesome which really saved the match as the rest of the guys do nothing for me. Gargano and Roddy put on match of the night for me clearly, but bai gawd was it underwhelming. I thought this could have been match of the year type level but it was just like, a good match. In 2012 PWG this match would have delivered and provided a memorable match, rather than a forgettable match. Roddy frankly has not won me over for a while now. Tag Titles match was so much fun, Candice is awesome, Bucks are amazing and Steens commentary is class. Overall a really fun match and not to much wrong to say. Finish was so good. World title match was not great. It started of slow, and just when I felt it was starting to build...interference. I gave this match the lowest rating I have ever given a OWG World Title match. Again, that speaks for itself. Overall, weak show. Some fun moments in it, but some things that did annoy me here. |

I've not heard of two of those three guys at the start (I don't follow CZW) but that was insane...card looks interesting, excellent even. I would say this could be the show to get PWG out of their miny "slump" of ok shows. |

Yes, just did...way to springboard these guys into the limelight eh? Wowsers. It's good to see that guys who have come from CZW can actually thrive in PWG; hopefully this is no exception. Are the RockNES Monsters on that show? I hope not. I like the RockNes Monsters LOL. I find them hilarious. |

I like the RockNes Monsters LOL. I find them hilarious. I liked them in 2012, especially their match against The Super Smash Brothers. Now...not so much. I find PPRay to be very entertaining myself. PPRAY are what is hot! Love them. Their entrances to the ring <3 |

Started watching All Star Weekend X - Night One. Cage VS Nese - Again! Bereft of psychology (not that I expected much, but just a bit). Okay at best. RockNES VS Joey/Candice - didn't mind RockNES so much here. Fun match. Younger VS Ciampa - utter dross. Nothing mattered, same bullcrap  ing crap from both these t***s. - 'kick out of everything under the sun, but lose to a ing prawn hold. Again. (Younger lost this way to Cole as well) Gargano VS Richards - why does kicking out of EVERYTHING equal 'This Is Awesome' chants? Not a fan of Davey, and Gargano was a tad off. Best Friends VS Dojo Bros - match of the night so far, this match WAS properly entertaining and fluid. And I used to not like Chuckie T...amazing how far he's come... For Me: Nese vs. Cage - Good Opener, did not expect to much more. RockNes vs. Candice and Joey - Solid fun match. Younger vs. Ciampa - Meh. Gargano vs. Davey - Have to disagree with you Chris mate, probably cause I am a mark for both of them. This was an awesome wrestling match, match of the night. Best Friends vs. DoJo - Solid, fun match as you would expect. |

I can completely get though why you wouldn't be into it  |

I can completely get though why you wouldn't be into it Good man. I concede that in 2006 - LOVED Davey Richards...his BOLA win and journey to the finals was superb...matches in ROH as part of the NRC were excellent... Davey had a match vs. an amazing British Talent namely Zack Sabre Jr in October which I was at live. Remains the best wrestling match I have ever seen live. |

I feel like you have to see Davey live to truly appreciate him. The guy gives his all every night. That being said Zack Sabre Jr. Needs more US exposure. He is too good. |

Fair enough comment mate, but sadly being in Australia I have a tough time of seeing any wrestling live. Fair enough. I'm lucky to be in the Philadelphia area so there's shows around me all the time. It must be a kill for you guys that are in areas with relatively no wrestling. Makes me really appreciate being able to see it live every once in a while. |

I've seen a ton of ECW here in Buffalo back in the days, was at November to remember 99 here. Makes me want to make the trip to Reseda all the more |

I've seen tons of indies (ROH, CZW, PWU, WXW), WWE, TNA and more however. I would have loved to see the original ECW but much like WM15 I was just too young even tho I loved wrestling at the time. |

Card already looks great with three matches announced, gonna be good, that Kyle/Cole KO and submissions only will be insane, hyped to see Lee, Alexander, and Everett team against Mt. Rushmore, and ACH/Ricochet will be wild. Can't wait to get Mystery Vortex 2 on DVD also.
