<span class="showinfo">Ain't Got Time To Bleed \\ Reseda, CA \\ 2013.11.09</span>

 

<div class="resultbackground"><span class="show">

1. No appearance from Mount Rushmore tonight as we instead get right into the action. Back in PWG is
B-Boy
and he found himself with some familiar faces in
Candice LeRae
and
Willie Mack
as they'd defeat the trio of
Anthony Nese
,
Biff Busick
, and
Tommaso Ciampa
. A great showing from all six wrestlers as the three East Coast natives showed they can hang with the best that Reseda has to offer. Ciampa very nearly got his payback on LeRae from the last time they squared off with his Project Ciampa, but luckily her tag team partner was able to save her and they'd go on to win this one.

 

2. Despite falling short in the Battle of Los Angeles, there was no denying
Samuray del Sol
's ability as he picked up arguably his biggest win in Reseda yet over
Brian Cage
. Something thought impossible, del Sol was definitely the underdog throughout, but his reilisency kept him alive. Living up to his Mr. GMSI identity, Cage happily threw del Sol around like a ragdoll, nearly sending him flying out of the ring after a release German suplex. Though Cage would get a bit too cocky trying to set del Sol up for a German suplex off the top rope, only for del Sol to kick Cage in the face, pop off the top rope, and spike him with a reverse hurricanrana.

 

3. While yet to pick up a win, The Beaver Boys continue to win over the Reseda crowd.
John Silver
is a heavyweight hoss trapped inside the body of a cruiserweight and he threw
Chuck Taylor
and
Trent?
around like Brian Cage did to Samuray del Sol the match prior. And while
Alex Reynolds
doesn't quite possess that same wow factor, he's still able to match Silver's ability in-ring. A lot of comedy and a lot of dumping each other on their necks. Trent? showcased why New Japan is so interested in him with a reckless tope con hilo onto Reynolds and following through with a springboard dropkick right to the back of Silver inside of the ring. A great showcase for both teams as we draw seemingly closer to DDT4; Taylor hitting his Awful Waffle to give the Best Friends the extra momentum heading into tournament season.

 

4. Over the last few shows, we've started to watch these two men rise up the ranks. Moreso
Roderick Strong
thanks to his impressive run in BOLA, but
Johnny Gargano
has started to show that he is a capable singles wrestler and this match would continue to build his case. Strong's Sick Kick out of nowhere would put an end to Gargano's night however. Early on, Strong was in control for the most part as Gargano played the underdog throughout the opening portions of the match. The Reseda crowd tried their hardest to inspire Gargano to pick up the victory, but it just wasn't meant to be tonight.

 

5. Returning from intermission, we're treated to one more normal tag match between Forever Hooligans and The Inner City Machine Guns. Four of the best junior heavyweights in the world would battle for a grueling 20 minutes. A war between the best of New Japan's juniors and Dragon Gate's. At the last show, we saw
Alex Koslov
and
Rocky Romero
pick up their first win and tonight, they'd start their first winning streak in PWG after this contest. While on the other side of the ring,
Rich Swann
and
Ricochet
have cooled down a bit since Ricochet's brief run in the Battle of Los Angeles. Plenty of dives, flips, but more importantly, hard hitting action with heavy emphasis on the heavyweight portion of junior heavyweight.

 

6. While it hasn't been made official yet, it's safe to assume
ACH
has a date with Adam Cole and the PWG World Championship relatively soon. That's an opportunity that Mount Rushmore member
Kevin Steen
is looking to spoil in hopes of softening up ACH before then. And fair play to Steen as he did a great job of that, utilizing the ring apron for a pop-up powerbomb on the smaller ACH. The underdog for the entirety of the match, this one seemed all, but over for ACH if not for the support from the fans. ACH would rally back and earn his biggest win to date in PWG following his 450 Splash onto Steen following a gorgeous Shining Wizard to set it up. This man came out of nowhere in Reseda and suddenly it seems like he's got one last hurdle in his way toward winning championship gold.

 

7. We've already seen two Guerrilla Warfare matches this year, but it's safe to say this one was the best of them. Forget match of the night, this was a match of the year candidate as the duo of
Brian Kendrick
and
Paul London
hadn't lost a step even after all this time. Add in
Kyle O'Reilly
and you've got a deadly combination. You couldn't discredit
Adam Cole
and The Young Bucks' history in matches like this though and that definitely gave them a slight edge heading into this one. It was electric from the start as O'Reilly was waiting right at the entryway and the Reseda crowd exploded once he and Cole brawled for the first time.
Matt
and
Nick Jackson
tried to help Cole only for Kendrick and London to hit stereo suicide dives to the outside!

 

These six men wasted no time using the Guerrilla Warfare rules (or lack thereof) to their advantage as O'Reilly laid into Cole with repeated chair shots across the back. The Bucks, now recovered, would do the same to the former multi-time WWE tag team champions. The best tag team in the world lived up to expectations against London and Kendrick, dishing out plenty of superkicks to both men, but karma would come back around and the brothers would soon get a taste of their own medicine after Kendrick put a trash can on top of Nick for London to superkick. Kendrick then launched that crunched trash can right at Matt's face.

 

A ladder would be introduced at one point, which O'Reilly and Kendrick used to throw right at Nick Jackson while London hit a running shooting star press off the apron onto both Cole and Matt Jackson. No time for anyone in this match to catch their breath, even Excalibur and Chuck Taylor on commentary were having a hard time keeping up with things. That ladder would come into play again, this time propped up in the corner for Cole to launch Kendrick through it with a German suplex. The tide between these two teams would constantly shift back-and-forth at a moment's notice.

 

Thankfully for the sake of their bodies, this match did finally come to an end. That said, it wasn't a pleasant ending for Nick Jackson. Up on the rope rope, O'Reilly would hook Nick for an Avalanche Brainbuster straight onto a chair below to put an end to this contest after 26 minutes. But of course, you aren't allowed to have a happy ending with Mount Rushmore around as
Kevin Steen
would run into the ring to take out the exhausted trio. The standing ovation from the fans quickly turned into boos as Steen and Cole put the boots to tonight's heroes while Matt helped his brother up.
ACH
tries to help only to get blasted with the PWG World Championship. Things were looking dire as Steen picked up O'Reilly, looking to hit the Package Piledriver onto a pile of chairs…

 

And then the lights went out! There was an unseen commotion in the ring and when the lights came back on, a hooded man stood in the center of the ring. O'Reilly was now safe as Mount Rushmore recollected themselves outside of the ring thanks to this mystery man. The American Legion Post was shaking with excitement as the man lowered his hood to reveal…

Just got caught up reading the previous shows, you're doing some amazing work Atticus!

Appreciate the kind words and glad to have you on!

 

Bit of an unpredictable show, but I'll take it given how many near perfects we've had lately :p

 

I think the ACH push might come as a bit of a surprise, but I'm gonna try and build up some guys earlier than expected, just due to the fact WWE (or NJPW signing up every lightweight!!!!) might come sniffing for people sooner rather than later. So while some things stay the same, I'm throwing in some surprises.

 

Been real slow pushing out cards/results this month, but I've been sidetracked lately. Still got the final two shows in the can, so I'll try and have both of those out before All Out then an actual break as I'll dive back into the game and write up the 2014 shows. Next post should be another monthly update to cover the rest of October, all of November, and a bit of December!

<strong>Rest of October/November/Mid-December Recap</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Notable Signings</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

As we hinted at a few months back, NJPW has been willing to break out the checkbook for big names and the loyalty of wrestlers were going to be tested. We can now confirm that as of last week, the newest addition to NJPW is none other than <strong>KENTA</strong> from Pro-Wrestling NOAH. Before this, there was speculation that WWE may have had interest in the 32-year old, but instead he'll stay in his home country to work for the largest company in Japan. You have to wonder how some NJPW fans may react to KENTA, possibly seeing him as an invader more so than any other signing.</p><p> </p><p>

Right now it looks like KENTA will work the rest of his NOAH dates, if they choose to keep booking him, and will most likely debut for NJPW after Wrestle Kingdom. While he's been in the heavyweight division recently for NOAH, the idea is that he might end up in the junior heavyweight division for the moment. Between him and Kota Ibushi, NJPW might also be looking to shift the perception of who can compete in the heavyweight division.</p><p> </p><p>

Another promising name hit the market and Ring of Honor didn't waste any time signing Samoa Joe back to the company, marking his return to the company for the first time since 2008. Rumors were circling some talent potentially wanting out of TNA and it was Samoa Joe who asked for his release and was granted it earlier in December. We're told that Joe's deal with ROH isn't one of their "exclusive" ones where talent are allowed to work certain companies only; Joe will be free to work anywhere for the time being. Some think he might opt to stay in ROH exclusively, but it is too early to tell.</p><p> </p><p>

Feeling a bit directionless in TNA, some people inside the company figured Joe wasn't going to re-sign anyways. Both sides have made it clear that the door is still open and we wouldn't rule out a potential Joe return, but for now ROH is making him happy as he's already set to main event Final Battle against Kevin Steen for the ROH World Championship.</p><p> </p><p>

On a smaller scale, WWE have signed some of the talent featured at their most recent tryout. We don't have a complete list of who all they signed, but we think it is safe to assume some of those without a wrestling background were signed to put their Performance Center to good use. We've also heard some word that they may have signed an independent wrestler or two from that tryout as well, but we'll let you know more as we check with our sources.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Notable Departures</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Last Newsletter hinted at some names inside of WWE wanting out potentially and we can now confirm one of those is none other than former NXT Champion <strong>Chris Hero</strong> (fka Kassius Ohno). Many were shocked that Hero not only requested his release, but was also granted it. Similar to Samoa Joe, Hero didn't feel confident in creative coming off his NXT title reign and seeing how some of the other call-ups were being handled. Though on the other side, there's also rumors that Bill DeMott and similar minded individuals in NXT weren't exactly thrilled with Hero and his attitude. Our sources reported that Hero would occasionally offer some advice to others in the Performance Center and DeMott felt like that was Hero undermining him.</p><p> </p><p>

Wasting no time, Hero made his surprise return to the independents at the most recent Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event. Thanks to PWG's business model of releasing their shows months after they occur, Hero is able to get around his non-compete clause and capitalize off this momentum heading into 2014.</p><p> </p><p>

While Samoa Joe requested his release, other names in TNA were let go around the same time. <strong>Austin Aries</strong> is one of those names, who held the TNA World Tag Titles earlier this year with Bobby Roode, but this might not come as too much of a surprise given rumors of Aries having an ego backstage. <strong>Bruce Prichard</strong> and <strong>Eric Bischoff</strong> have also been let go, the idea that the company is perhaps looking for a new direction creatively heading into the new year. <strong>Brooke Hogan</strong> was also released, but we understand that this was mutual as Brooke is looking to step out of wrestling for the time being.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Misc. News</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

After Wrestle Kingdom, NJPW young lion <strong>Sho Tanaka</strong> is set to head to CMLL for his excursion. It's expected that <strong>Yohei Komatsu</strong> will join him and potentially others early in January as well.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tommaso Ciampa</strong> had to undergo surgery to remove a rather large hernia and it is believed he'll be out until March or April 2014. Unfortunate timing for him as he was starting to gain momentum in ROH and was planned to be featured again in PWG, but he's shown some serious dedication this past year and it's safe to assume he'll be right back at it in 2014.</p><p> </p><p>

Former ECW Champion <strong>Bobby Lashley</strong> competed for Xtreme Fight Night out of Oklahoma in November in a losing effort via decision to bring his MMA record to 9-3. There has been word that Lashley is looking to make a return to professional wrestling some time in the next year or two and this loss might be what gets him back in the squared circle.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rumor Roundup</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Nothing too exciting this cycle, but there are murmurs that WWE might look to do some cleaning some time next year. Especially with how much the company has invested into the Performance Center, NXT and potentially the WWE Network, they might be looking to cut some losses to balance out these investments.</div></p></div><p><hr width=512px; size=1></p>

<span class="showinfo">All Star Weekend X - Night One \\ Reseda, CA \\ 2013.12.20</span></p><p> </p><p>

<div class="resultbackground"><span class="show"></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">Sure was nice to have a break from Mount Rushmore last month. Oh well, they open up this show and bully </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Excalibur</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> in handing the microphone over to </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Adam Cole</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">. They soak in the boos from the Reseda crowd for a good moment and Cole brings the microphone up, yelling out, "MOUNT RUSHMORE!" More boos flow in for a moment until </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Chris Hero</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> rushes into the ring, taking out </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Kevin Steen</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> with a Rolling Elbow and knocking </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Matt Jackson </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">down. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Nick Jackson</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> eats a boot and Cole barely ducks underneath a second Rolling Elbow. Hero picks up the microphone, challenging Cole to fight RIGHT NOW, but of course, Cole doesn't bother giving Hero that satisfaction and heads to the back with the rest of Mount Rushmore.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

1. A last minute replacement for Tommaso Ciampa, who is dealing with a hernia discovered shortly after an ROH taping, is </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Timothy Thatcher</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">, making his PWG debut a day earlier than expected against </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Anthony Nese</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">. Some of the crowd are familiar with Thatcher's work up in All Pro Wrestling, but for many this is their first chance seeing him and he didn't disappoint. Nese would pick up his first win in PWG in a low key sleeper hit of the night. Thatcher is a very intimidating man and his mat work had Nese working hard throughout the contest. Very likely going to see more of Thatcher down the line.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

2. A shorter match, but still a sprint saw the World's Toughest Cupcakes pick up a win over PPRay. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Willie Mack</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">'s size would ultimately prove to be too much for "Pretty" </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Peter Avalon</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Ray Rosas</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">. That said, they showed no fear going up against him, Avalon almost getting the better of Mack in a striking contest at one point. Mack and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Candice LeRae</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> hit stereo moonsaults on PPRay before LeRae's Heartbreaker on Avalon gave them some momentum heading into DDT4 season.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

3. From one sprint to another, </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Drake Younger</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Biff Busick</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> beat the absolute piss out of one another. A nasty brawl contained entirely in the ring and referee Justin Borden had to work overtime to avoid getting tangled up at the rate these two were going. Busick's jaw-shattering European uppercuts were put on display, but it'd be fan favorite Younger who'd get the edge overall in this match, finishing it off with Drake's Landing.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

4. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Eddie Edwards</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> made his first appearance back in PWG since July and it'd be in an upset as </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Johnny Gargano</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> would make one half of the DojoBros tap out. Gargano has been looking for that one big win to finally break through the ceiling placed above him and this might have been the one needed. Edwards was well in control of this match for the majority of it, but the tenacity of Gargano can't be overlooked and when it seemed like he was done for, somewhere deep down he found the energy to pull this one out. Avoiding Edwards' Achilles Lock, Gargano would catch Edwards by surprise with his Garga-No-Escape at the 17 minute mark.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

5. Nearly time for a late intermission, but first, a tag team match between the Best Friends and Unbreakable F'N Machines. Like Edwards before him, it's been some time since we've seen </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Michael Elgin</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">, after his first round exit from this year's Battle of Los Angeles. Though he's been busy, recently picking up the AIW Intense Championship and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Brian Cage</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> has been busy here lately, but these two showed no signs of rust being away from each other. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Chuck Taylor</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Trent?</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> did their best to hang with the beasts and did a great job. It's easy to forget that while Trent? is presented as a junior heavyweight in New Japan, he's nearly the tallest man in the match and has packed on some muscle as of late. And while he can't quite pull off the same feats of strength as Cage or Elgin, he was able to surprise them. Though it just wasn't enough here as the Machines would put Trent? and Taylor away. Also worth noting was Elgin favoring his hand after the match.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

6. Facing the winner of Cole/Hero tomorrow, </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>ACH</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> knew he had to be on his best behavior against </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Davey Richards</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> to give him some momentum heading into that championship match. And he looked great. Richards kept things interesting for ACH, nearly securing his own win after a round kick catching ACH out of the air. No doubt that Richards was just as eager to put his name in championship contention. But ACH's second-rope 450 Splash after a Brainbuster would dash those dreams.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

7. A crazy six-man tag match before our main event saw </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Kevin Steen</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> put away </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Rich Swann</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> with his Package Piledriver. We know that </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>AR Fox</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> has been trying to break his cold streak in PWG and his Lo Mein Pain onto </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Matt Jackson</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> could've done just that if not for </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Nick Jackson</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> making a last second save out of nowhere. And of course, you can't ignore </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Ricochet</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">'s contributions to this match. A rare double rotation moonsault from the man onto Steen with an accompanying pin that's also broken up. A heartbreaker for Fox as he watched a chance to win slip away.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

8. Two years away from Reseda and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Chris Hero</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> still ain't nothin' to mess with. After winning the NXT Championship from WWE's Big E Langston and a brief main roster run before being released, Chris Hero was more than ready to remind people who he is. And </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Adam Cole</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> unfortunately got to be the first man to experience the Chris Hero return tour. The first time that these two have stood across from each other in singles competition and with the PWG World Championship on the line for a match that would leave its mark in the American Legion Post for years to come.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Without knowing how tomorrow is going to unfold, it might still be safe to say that this match was the best held in Reseda all year. Hero might just be the perfect wrestler with his combination of strength, size, agility, intensity, and willingness to go the extra distance; possibly Cole's toughest challenge, not just in PWG, but of his career. Though whatever you might think about Cole, you can't deny he's one of the best in the world, and he weathered the storm that Hero brought with him. Near fall after near fall and Cole absorbing all kinds of chops, boots, and forearms from Hero.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

And while he was reeling for a good chunk of this match, all it took was one superkick to the side of Hero's head and a Brainbuster on Cole's knee that put the champ right back into it. However, the match wasn't one without shenanigans. A stray elbow from Hero knocked referee Rick Knox out of the contest. Cole tried to capitalize, but Hero was ready with a Hero's Welcome, but there was still no official to make the count.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Being aware of what a match with Adam Cole entailed, he brought some backup in the form of his infamous loaded elbow pad. Cole managed to avoid the elbow, taking Hero down with a superkick, and stealing the loaded elbow pad! He slipped it onto his boot and drilled Hero with a disgusting superkick! The pin, but still no official and referee Justin Borden would slide in too late as Hero managed to kick out at two. And the champ wasn't happy as Borden would eat a superkick, allowing Hero to recover to blindside Cole, and set up a piledriver!</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

And out came running </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Kevin Steen</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> and The Young Bucks! Hero would see them and quickly take out Steen with a Rolling Elbow. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Matt</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> and </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Nick Jackson</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> would be able to slow Hero down, but Hero was a man possessed tonight as he took them out with back-to-back Rolling Elbows! And a third to Cole! Referee Rick Knox recovered in time to make the pin and Cole kicked out! Just out of eyesight, Hero slipped that loaded elbow pad back on and aimed it at Cole, but the champ ducked it, superkick to Hero's knee, and a Panama Sunrise to help him retain the PWG World Championship!</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Rick Knox reluctantly handed the belt over to Adam Cole as the rest of Mount Rushmore celebrated with him. They had their moment and after clearing out, a defeated Chris Hero would remain alone in the ring with a microphone. He made it clear that he was here to stay! And that he would be back in the title picture. Even in defeat, Hero was in high spirits, optimistic about his return to the independents, and sending the Reseda fans home happy as they chanted his name to close out the night</div><p></span><span class="quick"><strong>Quick Results</strong></p><p>

<p>Disappointed in myself for missing the last show but not disappointed with Chris Hero's arrival! I remember he had an indie run post Kassius Ohno but before his second NXT run and he was one of the best wrestlers in the world for a time. </p><p> </p><p>
