THE FIRST PWG SHOW IN A YEAR AND A HALF.
1) Tony Deppen vs. Jack Cartwheel
Deppen is introduced as “the man who is responsible for the show being delayed” and proclaims to the crowd after the bell rings that he had to shit and there was no toilet paper so that’s what took him so long. I can’t think of a better way to start PWG’s first show in almost two years. Cartwheel is over as fuck despite this being his PWG debut. He IS from the general area, though, so that’s probably why. He hates a beautiful set of dives which also was such an apt way to start this return for PWG.
This was honestly a blast of a match. PWG is graded on such an entirely different weird scale for me so be warned if you are used to my other reviews and haven’t read any of my PWG ones. Although, since I’ve reviewed PWG regularly it’s been like 3 years so who knows.. how I rate this stuff may have changed too as I’ve become a lot less generous with the infamous snowflakes. None the less, yeah, these guys went out and killed it to start the show, busting out all kinds of flips and spots and working the exact style of match that PWG is known for. Deppen is such a good heel, but it wasn’t really about that and if anything Jack Cartwheel was the star here as he was flying all over the place. When all is said and done, Deppen wins a super fun opener in just over 10 minutes.
Match rating - **3/4
2) JD Drake vs. Brody King
