PWG: "Bowie" Match Card & Preview

Last night, PWG announced the full match card for their upcoming event "Bowie" which will take place on February 12th. It's a six match card that features a PWG World Title Match, the return of Player Uno of the Super Smash Brothers, the debut of Dalton Castle + more!

Chuck Taylor vs. Dalton Castle
Two equally charismatic, unique individuals facing off for the first time. Chuck Taylor has played the role of entertainer and comedian in PWG since the fall of 2008, could this be the passing of the torch after 8 long years? Or will the Kentucky Gentleman put out the flame of Dalton Castle in PWG before it can even get started?

Chris Hero vs. Trent?
The incomparable Trent? will be making his first appearance in Reseda since BOLA last August due to his schedule in Japan being so hectic. He faces a stout challenge in his return as Chris Hero is waiting at the front door. Coming off a failed attempt at becoming World Champion, Hero likely won't be in a happy mood so it shall be interesting to see how the two vastly different personalities will clash.

Mike Bailey vs. Player Uno (EVIL UNO)
He's baaaaaaack. After three years away from Reseda, Player Uno of the Super Smash Brothers returns, BUT will it be the same Uno the fans knew and loved in 2012? Either way, his return match against fellow Canadian Mike Bailey is sure to be a barnburner. They've met several times in the past and I can only imagine what they have in store for the PWG faithful in a few weeks.

Adam Cole vs. Andrew Everett
Adam Cole's tour through all the new faces on the PWG roster since returning continues as he faces off with The Apex of Agility, Andrew Everett. Cole fell prey to Everett's running mate Trevor Lee in the fall of 2014 just before he began his sabbatical from PWG, does this mean Everett holds the key to taking down the Panama City Playboy? Or will Cole drop Everett just like he did Mike Bailey last month on the road to regaining his throne at the top of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla? Only time will tell!

Zack Sabre Jr vs. Trevor Lee
Just about every PWG card has a huge dream match and this month, it's Zack Sabre Jr and Trevor Lee bringing us a first time ever encounter. Many are getting impatient with waiting on ZSJ to get his title shot against Roderick Strong however this proves to be a match that everyone is excited about. It is also a match that could put Trevor Lee back into title contention for the first time in a year should he come out victorious.

Roderick Strong (c) vs. Drew Galloway
Roderick Strong kicked off his second year as PWG World Champion by defeating fellow veteran Chris Hero on the 2nd day of the new year, but as soon as one challenger is taken out, a new one emerges. In this instance, it's Drew Galloway. Galloway getting a title shot is surprising, albeit a bit random considering Zack Sabre Jr won a title shot to go along with his 2015 BOLA trophy. It's a title shot he has yet to get due to Roddy not being ready to face him. This makes Strong's opponents on the road to that title match sound weak however I think Drew Galloway begs to differ. He's a sizeable opponent that will be a perfect match up for Roddy's intense, hard hitting style. Can Galloway seize gold in only his 4th appearance in Reseda?
