PWG "Prince" Match Card & Preview

Just yesterday, PWG finally announced their next event which will take place on May 20th. It is once again named after a fallen music hero that left us in 2016, Prince. The card features Zack Sabre Jr's first title defense since becoming the PWG World Champion and much more.

Two euro's collide for the first time in Reseda. Andrews had a rough weekend at All Star Weekend 12 as he took beatings from both Roderick Strong and Evil Uno, so this is chance for him to rebound although it won't be easy. The Villain is someone who will most likely be extra motivated since his british counterpart Zack Sabre Jr earned a huge achievement in winning the PWG World Championship before he did. This is sure to be a fiery contest.


This. Is. Awesome. Two hard hitting, monsters collide in a dream match that I didn't even know I wanted until I realized that Jeff Cobb is none other than the incomparable Matanza Cueto from Lucha Underground. Cobb has an extensive amateur, freestyle wrestling background and is one hell of a specimen. And Chris Hero, well, you know how phenomenal he is. This is going to be an absolute slugfest.

 
These two Carolina natives debuted in PWG together in a three way match that send shockwaves across the entire Independent circuit. They've wrestled barnburners against each other across the country including 90+ minute matches. This is their first meeting in PWG since their debut in 2014 and I personally think it could steal the show. Both men have somewhat fell off the track and I feel like they will be heading out to wow everyone in attendance, even more so than normal.
 


The Peacock made his way to PWG earlier this year against "The Kentucky Gentleman" Chuck Taylor in a match that I doubt will resemble this one in any way. Adam Cole is an outright asshole and has no shame in that. However, he does have a comedic side in his cocky taunts. I think we will see the former PWG World Champion take a more serious route here as Dalton Castle could easily get under his skin with his mannerisms. It's certainly going to be an interesting pairing.

"War" is the best word I can think of to describe how I think this match will go. Callihan is known as the Death Machine and Roddy is coming off losing his PWG World Title to Zack Sabre Jr. The anger and insanity that will ensue here is gonna be something to behold. An often forgotten fact to remember going into this match is that Callihan made his PWG debut in 2012 alongside Roddy in the DDT4 Tournament and now, here four years later, they clash. Both men have evolved a lot since then and it's definitely going to be a heated contest.

What a task Zack Sabre Jr has in his first defense of the PWG World Championship. "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin returns to Reseda to try to achieve something that has plagued him for the past few years, even during his time as a PWG regular, and that is winning the PWG World Title. Elgin has been in the finals of BOLA twice and had several title matches, but never could he win the belt. So, with that in mind, this is a huge match for him, however as you probably know, this is a match that Elgin has wanted for a long time as he's mentioned wanting to face Sabre on Twitter for quite some time. With his recent hot streak in Japan and Sabre's momentum as the best in the world, I see no way around this being a MOTY candidate bout.
