Ultimo Necro Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 That line up is insane. Makes me wish Super Dragon had stayed healthy a few more years to see him against some of these names. Just the idea of him vs Drago, Tommy End or even as a Lucha Underground character seems awesome. Definitely looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well speaking of Super Dragon Young Bucks b Trevor Lee & Andrew Everett to win the PWG tag titles due to interference from Roderick Strong. The Bucks & Strong laid out a ton of people and the show ended with the lights out and Super Dragon making a heel turn forming Mount Rushmore 2.0 with Dragon, Strong and The Young Bucks with new T-shirts. Oh and apparently this actually happened as well https://instagram.com/p/4bHIAcLpRT/?taken-by=sofiavergara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Goddamit PWG, just take all my money already. Super Dragon + Sophia Vergara = Internet PPV buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hero on commentary when "Detective" Bill Carr does a flip plancha: "HE'S GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!" It will never beat this call but still amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Pentagon, Jr. alone guarantees I'll be watching this. That is an insane tournament, it's got a weird mix of LU/AAA, UK, and PWG guys all in one show. Holy fuck that's amazing and worth every penny. If there was ever a time to just put this on On Demand the next day this is it, the wait for the DVD will be unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'll be honest, I only know like 25% of this field. But your guys' excitement has sold me on buying the DVD to see some of these guys when it comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 ^ Big Fresh sums up the philosophy behind pretty much every PWG show I've ever purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So Chris Hero is Super Dragon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Honest question. How do Indy feds like PWG turn a profit when they run supercards like this? The building in Reseda only seats about 700, right? 700 x $25 a ticket = $17,500. The trans cost alone for the guys in the UK and Mexico has to be almost $10,000. That doesn't include wrestler pay days, trans for everyone else, venue rental, insurance, etc. I'm guessing the answer is DVD sales, but they must need to sell a lot of DVDs. EDIT: I had completely forgotten that the tourney is a multi-night event. The possibility for profit makes a little more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 700? I would be shocked if that place held half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 What's the backstory behind the ref trying to come at everyone with a chair (and just getting broken in the process)? That crucifix brainbuster dealie (sorry, don't know the name) by Super Dragon was NASTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 For fuck's sake, no more headdrops! That was awful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Austin Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They're not charging 25, it's a lot more than that. Last I checked it was a scale starting at over 50. Jstout, the ref has had an ongoing thing against the Bucks for awhile now. IIRC they would antagonize him, hit him with superkicks, etc and it got to s point where he got tired of it and started fighting back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Right, Rick Knox (who also refs for Lucha Underground) has had an on and off issue with the Bucks going way back. They had a pretty good sort-of blowoff a little while back with the Bucks and Brian Cage vs Knox, Steen & Generico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ticket prices for their July show are $60 for front row, $45 for general admission. And it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for BOLA tickets to be more than that. Super Dragon's crucifix brainbuster is called the Psycho Driver.

hammerva Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 also I assume that PWG is saving some money by not getting into the IPPV business or worried about video on demand or other services like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Technically didn't the rivalry start way back when the Bucks were feuding with Taylor and Omega and they accused Knox of taking bribes after some questionable near falls, leading to Knox eventually throwing cash into the Bucks face during the match.

Technico Support Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I only started watching in 2010 so that's a little before my time, but that's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 also I assume that PWG is saving some money by not getting into the IPPV business or worried about video on demand or other services like that. They also produce basically everything in house from the website to the merch to the DVD's so I'm sure they save a ton of money by doing that themselves.

JRV Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 So Chris Hero is Super Dragon? Either Super Dragon ate Chris Hero or he just got off a flight and didn't have money to check any luggage so he wore all his longsleeves on the plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 A lot of people get mad at PWG for not doing iPPV or having the show up for download the day after but if it were effecting their bottom line, don't you think they'd have changed long ago? I think PWG is in the perfect spot. Limited seating + huge demand = they have carte blanche to charge what they want for upcoming shows. PWG is running a successful profitable wrestling company. How many other groups can they say that these days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Super Dragon's crucifix brainbuster is called the Psycho Driver. The original Psycho Driver starts like a torture rack or the F5. This starts like a crucifx powerbomb (Razor Ramon) and then just gets hurty. It's at 6:08 or so in the video on CSC's post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
