The bonus on this dvd is a promo by CL Vanderpyle that is actually AWESOME. His southern voice may be annoying, but he drops it to be real serious during this interview. If HALF of what he said is true, than Adam Pearce really missed out on his shot at super stardome. A Really great promo and a FAR cry from the Jardi Frantz Shoot Interview on An Inch Longer Than Average
The Show opens with a hillarious promo with Adam Pearce and Colt Cabana all bling blingin' with Babi Slymms BLING. They also have Valentina with them (J-Love from XPW) who is FN HOT. Hillarious promo
Match #1
Charles Mecury vs Disco Machine
At first i was ready to skip this match as i really had no intrest in either men, not because i didnt like there wrestling ability...i just didnt really know they COULD wrestle. And they do a pretty good job at showcasing that in this match, WAY better than an expected. The Start is a little basic with a lot of arm drags and dropkicks but it turns into a really above average indy opener with Charles Mecury working over Disco back and Disco trying to make the classic comeback. This is better with commentary on as you can listen to Disco make fun of his weak looking clothesline attempt. A good match with a very steady pace and although its mostly basic wrestling (there is some innovation) its still fun to watch
Rating: **
Puma vs Ricky Reyes
The first time i saw Ricky Reyes live it was against Samoa Joe at RRCIII and i was BLOWN away. I compared him to Low Ki, only with a little more technical skill and a LOT more mass. This match didnt change my opinon, plus i got a good look at Pinoy Boy...or Puma...A Excellent match with good technical stuff, brawling and a bit of a story with Reyes going after Pumas mask and totally butchering him with chops and slaps. The Commentary on this is GOLD with Both Disco and Exalibur making fun of the fact that Puma is three people at once...very funny stuff, and a great wrestling match as well

Ballard Brothers vs American Dragon/Samoa Joe
As i was typing the title a moment ago i accidently put "Briscoe Brothers" in place of the Ballards as i was thinking of the the BLAD match those brothers had against Joe/Dragon. This match is not comparable to that because the Ballards have less than 1/10th of 1% of the wrestling skill that the Briscoes have. That being said it was still a much better match than i expected. A lot of heat between Joe and Dragon led to a finish i didnt really like, but the work by Joe and Dragon in the match was Very good...they just didnt have very good opponents to do the moves ON. Good match, but if you want to see Dragon/Joe in a good tag match together...get Battle Lines Are Drawn (note: Joe gets in VERY little offense in this match, which is why it didnt get 3 stars...most of the match is the Ballards vs Dragon)
Rating: **1/2
Colt Cabana vs Babi Slymm
I expected more out of Slymm in this match, as this was my first time seeing him, he just didnt have very much offense. Caban did a good job wrestling and entertaining and Slymm hit some typical moves but there was nothing really exciting in this match. Kind of a downer after the opening segment was dedicated totally to this match
Rating: **
PWG Championship Match
Adam Pearce vs Bobby Quance
Unlike Slymm, Quance DID impress me with his match. This match was actually the best match of the night so far and both men looked EXCELLENT. I was really into this match as Valentina was at ringside *HOT!* and it was my first chance to see Quance. Really good stuff here with Quance working over the arm and Pearce doing some great heel tactics. GREAT match
Rating: ***1/2
The Post match brawl that insues is similiar to a lot of "out of control" actions that ROH has had happen because the locker room empties and it gets pretty crazy. You have to watch this with commentary as TARO is hillarious when he see's he is holding back Colt Cabana by himself
Frankie Kazarian vs Spanky
This was good match but it was riddiculously short, i was expecting a twenty minute classic...but i got about a seven minute match. Cool Reversal into the finish...but not a whole lot of time for much else to happen. Good Match though.
Rating: **1/2
Quicksilver & Chris Bosh vs Joey Ryan & Scott Lost
I was pretty impressed with Joey Ryan on An Inch Longer than average as a singles wrestler. Here he impressed me as part of a great tag team. A good, fast paced and innovative tag team match with a finish that suprised quite a few people
Rating: **1/2
Guerrilla Warfare Match
Super Dragon vs Scorpio Sky
This is the second Sky vs Dragon singles match ive seen, the first one was a Revolution Pro match that went close to thirty minutes. This match went the same length but used tables, ladders and chairs. An AWESOME match that isnt a cluster FK like the Ryan vs Dragon Warfare match was. This had high flying, techincal wrestling and a good story with Sky pulling out all of Dragons signature moves to humiliate him. AWESOME match with an insane finish
Rating: ****
Overall: There are no matches on this show that arent worth watching. Every match is good to great and it has all kinds of variety with the mostly technical Pearce vs Quance match to the Stiff Puma vs Reyes to the fast paced Kazarian vs Spanky and Tag Title Match to the crazy brawl main event. A Really good show that is the best ive seen out of PWG (Granted, i havent seen Tango and Cash...but i WANT to...its just sold out on DVD)
