PWG Threemendous III DVD Review

-Taped from Reseda, CA

-Your hosts are Excalibur and everyone else

-We open up with Joey Ryan and Excalibur in the ring. Excalibur takes a shot at Ryan before turning the microphone over to him. Crowd says nasty things about TNA. They should really watch Impact before making that judgment. Excalibur grabs the mic again to remind everyone where the fire exits are. Ryan talks about being with the promotion all nine years while entertaining and busting his butt for the fans. Ryan hits on one of the bartenders cause he’s sleazy. Get it? He talks about getting respect. Rick Knox comes out since he thinks he deserves as much respect apparently. Knox says he’s been involved with the promotion nine years too. Knox clotheslines Ryan. Famous B runs out as the bell rings.

Match Analysis: Just an eye-rolling finish. Ryan is feuding with a freaking TNA announcer, and he has to prove what a smart guy he is by beating someone with Tazzzzzzz’s submission move. Know how they say some of the biggest marks are those in the business. No one exemplifies this statement more than Joey Ryan. Amazing how Famous B can look so great against B-Boy and come off so awkward and like a nothing opening match guy the very next show. Not a good start here.

Match in Five Words or Less: Technical Something Or Other

Match Highlights:  These guys have been around a long time, particularly in PWG. I’m looking forward to this a lot. Some basic mat work to start as Strong gets distracted by someone in the crowd. More exchanges. Monkey flip but Strong stands up. Pace picks up with a strike exchange. Single leg trip by Perkins. He rolls through and applies the half crab. STF attempt but Strong grabs the bottom rope. Chop in the corner by Strong. Another chop but Perkins comes back. Into another corner. Perkins goes for a vertical suplex to the outside. Knee to the midsection by Strong. Backbreaker but Perkins counters into the ropes. Perkins ducks so Strong ends up outside. Tope suicida by Perkins. What a sequence! Uppercut by Perkins. Strong reverses a whip. Perkins up and over. Cross body turned into a triad of backbreakers. Strong presses Perkins back first into the top turnbuckle. Hard back suplex leads to a two count. Into what can best be described as a chickenwing. Kick to the midsection by Perkins. Strong NAILS a dropkick. Backbreaker by Strong. 1-2-NO! Camel clutch. Small package by Perkins gets two. Boot to the chin by Strong. Into the corner for another chop. Whip. Perkins up and over. Cross body. Slaps. Leg kick and a rolling kick. Incredible. Perkins locks in an octopus.

Match Analysis: This match was so darn fun to watch, less so to do play-by-play for. These guys never get the credit for being great wrestlers. Technical lightning is a wretched nickname, but it does a pretty good job of describing who TJ Perkins is as a performer. Strong works well with smaller guys, and this was no exception. Great way to help forget the opening 15 minutes. They packed a ton into 12 minutes.

This gets the Rocknes Monsters a victory.

Match Analysis: One of the biggest things about the PWG crowd is their fickleness. For whatever reason they have deemed the Rocknes Monsters unworthy of their support now. No idea why but if nothing else, Yuma and Goodtime are adjusting their style in a smart way. They’re still doing some of the babyface schitck, but it seems like they’ll be able to still do high flying stuff while remaining heels. This will remain crucial if they want to be successful. Yuma will also need to become more cowardly since he’s so small. Very solid and enjoyable tag team match as Rocknes seemingly adjusted midmatch.

Winner (s)/Time/ Rating: Rocknes Monsters/16:50/***1/4

Cage talks about getting his stuff in before talking about winning the PWG world title. He doesn’t care who the champion is, he’s coming for a sucka or a word I refuse to use in this review. SPINAROONIE!

Match Analysis: Undoubtedly the biggest win of Cage’s career as he just defeated a former ROH world champion. Cage is becoming a very good all around wrestler regardless, and wrestling guys like Steen and Edwards will only help his development. Very good match between these two as they matched up extremely well. Edwards as an underdog always works and Cage is not just a jacked up stiff. I can’t imagine Cage will be around much longer, but it sure is fun to see him become one of the best on the SoCal scene.

Steen comes out with him and hits a PSYCHO DRIVER! Knox could count to 100 but he only needs to count to three. Steen wins.

Match Analysis: Wow, that was quite the finish there. The fact that Mack’s best singles match in PWG came against Steen should come as no surprise. These two guys put together a very good match. Considering this was before the intermission, it was hard to see Mack winning. However, he came through in a big way and gave the type of performance that will keep him at the top of PWG cards. Obviously, the issue with Steen and Cage is to be extended. Who says PWG doesn’t do storylines?

Match Analysis: I was not expecting the first four star match to come from these two. Younger’s PWG debut could not have gone better. I was ambivalent about his presence but now feel he could be an excellent addition if he’s going to be this good and stay in shape. They’re both insane for doing this match the way they did, but man was this something special to watch. Two guys just went out there and killed it. It felt like they had something to prove… and they proved it. Much respect to both men.

Match Analysis: Running out of things to say about matches on this show. This was another very piece of professional wrestling between two of the best on the indy scene. Elgin brought more intensity and fire than I’ve seen out of him in the past, and he’s really getting to that main event level. Callihan is controlling his personality better and not letting it be so dominant. I’m focusing on the annoying things that used to drive me nuts. Very impressed not only with their development as workers but their willingness to continue getting better and not sitting on their laurels.

Winner (s)/Time/ Rating: STILL PWG World Tag Team Champions-Super Smash Brothers/23:57/****3/4

The Verdict: I’ve been doing reviews of PWG shows three years. Not  a single time have said thumbs down. I don’t care if they only run 10-12 shows a year. This company has a match quality standard that no indy can even touch. PWG might not be for everyone, but if you’re an indy wrestling fan, you owe it to yourself to watch one of their shows. There’s something magical about Reseda, California. They’ve got incredible fans, amazing wrestlers, and the best wrestling product going. Is this a thumbs up show? Duh.
