Threemendous Throwback: Threemendous II Review

With Threemendous IV, the 12th Anniversary show, on the horizon. I decided to throwback to a few past events in the weeks before the upcoming celebration. On July 31st, 2009, PWG celebrated six years as a company with their event Threemendous II. The event is headlined by a Guerrilla Warfare Match as Joey Ryan tries to stop Chris Hero's World title reign from eclipsing his record championship run in 2006. Excalibur is on commentary with Joey Ryan to start the evening.

1) Johnny Goodtime, Jerome "LTP" Robinson, & Brandon Gatson vs. The Cutler Bros & Charles Mercury
This was the perfect way to start this show considering PWG has always been known for having crazy multi-man opening tag matches. This match mainly consists of newcomers to PWG at the time and they certainly made an impression. There were some not so smooth exchanges here and there, but for the most part this was a highly entertaining opening spotfest. Just a bunch of crazy stuff to get the crowd going. I really miss Johnny Goodtime & LTP in PWG. Here's to hoping they'll start getting booked again sooner or later.

Match rating - **3/4

2) Alex Shelley vs. Scott Lost

PWG: DDT4 2015 Review


Hello, I'm Big Boy and this is my first review ever. I'm 19 years old and I'm a huge pro wrestling fan. Let me start off by saying thanks to Ethan (@EthanPWT) for allowing me to post this review here, much appreciated. I recently got into independent wrestling in March of this year and really haven't looked back. I only watched WWE but ever since I saw a PWG preview video on YouTube, I've been hooked. That leads me here. I hope whoever reads this enjoys my thoughts and opinions!

Match 1: Beaver Boys (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) vs Team Tremendous (Dan Barry and Bill Carr) - First Round Match

Team Tremendous are making their PWG debut with this match and I'd say they made a good impression. I'll start off by saying that 4 matches on this show had camera issues where only the hard camera was working and this was one of those matches so that was kind of a bummer and honestly turned me off from the get go. Nonetheless, this was a decent match with a bit of comedy involved. For instance, at one point in the match, Dan Berry from Team Tremendous had John Silver in the corner and he gave him some chops and said something like "what did you do with the girl?!?" Yeah, their gimmick is that they are detectives who solve crimes through the art of pro wrestling. I dig it. Beaver Boys pick up the win and advance in the DDT4 tournament. Decent opener, camera issues aside.  

Match Rating- ***1/4

Match 2: Biff Busick and Drew Gulak vs Inner City Machine Guns (Rich Swann and Ricochet) - First Round Match
