Attendance: 300 or so
RA: Joe
Refs: Zack Carter and Holyoke Joe
Pics: Instant classic photography
Bell: Charlie.

Ok, here we go, Im tired, so I'll make it fast..

After a fine version of the National Anthem by Vicki Rivere, we were off. Dick Seamans, Marvin Schweinstein and PGW HW champ Kurt Adonis came out, and tried the restraining order on Zombie. But, a pretty girl, whoever she was. said that order was only good in Fairfield..hehe.

The Park City rumble was pretty good. Some intersting names like Chris Mooch, Johnny Ramirez, Iron Eagle, Noc, and Eddie Kingston j oined the usual PGW stars. It came down to Zombie and Tookie Tucker, who elmininated e/o. Both hit the floor same time, according to the two refs, so they both would get the HW title shot w Kurt later.

Jason Blade did not appear due to injuries..

In a very solid three way, Frankie Arion defeated Krisitan Frost and Dan Barry. Basically non stop, ver entertaining saw Frankie win w a float thru pin on Frost..

Eddie Kingston vs BMT w Ariel. Eddie of course didnt seem to wanna be there, and heeled everyone out, in the crowd and in the ring. BMT and him traded chops, and Eddie went after Ariel at a couple of occassions. Match was a bit light on Eddie's part, he went for Ariel, and BMT snuck in for a backslide Pin. Post match, Eddie went nuts and him and BMT had to be separated.

In an ok match, Mr Williams won a pretty even contest over Lukas Sharp, with a move off the ropes into a spinebuster. No word on whether Lukas lost the CT next big thing trophy. Good hometown support for Williams.

The Eight man elimination was next. It was Jose perez, Billy King, Jason Snyper and Nocturne vs Lombardi, Latham, Andy Sweet and Joey "Cena" Bricco..hehe. Match to me was kinda draggy, but heres the pin order...

Jose pinned Bricco/Cena
Lombarid pinned Nocturne. Noc had done a high spot flip dive onto the floor and legit hurt himself earlier. Hopefully, hes ok, but was injured.
Jose Pinned Eddie Latham
Jose and Andy Sweet were both counted out, as they battled hard on the floor, exchanging heavy chops, etc.
Billy King pinned Lombardi w a neckbreaker.
Winners and survivors Billy King and Jason Snyper

Up next, Steel cage for the North American PGW title. Brian Anthony w Bricco and Ant Battle (both w Kendo sticks) at ringside, vs Chris Battle. This one started scientific, and got REAL intense. Brian ate the cage several times, and both men were simply on top of their game. Lots of near falls, and intense action. One of the best cage matches in a LONG time. Brian retained the title w an elbow drop OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation Simply a great match, ***** Brian shook Battles hand post match, at the crowd's urging.

the other cage match for the PGW HW Title saw Kurt Adonis vs Ron Zombie. But, Tookie who had been injured post match earlier, and wasnt supposed to compete, came in and got in the match. Ok match, but suffered having to follow the classic before it. Ron and Tookie were battling on top of the cage, and Dick Seamans pulled Kurt out thru the door. Ref Joe had no clue, until he was told to go and look..hehe. But, he did, and Kurt was the winner and retained..

Final event was a Bryce Andrews Promo running down this little kid..hehe. and saying hed be a big WWE star, etc. Al Snow then came out, and after a long time stalling w "head" hehe. They acutally had a fun match, that the fans that remained seemed to like Snow won it by hitting Bryce W Head.

Great seeing Rissa, Rach, Kaz, Barry, Dave Padula, Dan, Oscar, Nathan, Shane and many others, as well as Rob, Shaya, Steve, Rocco, Bob and the EPW boys, who helped w the cage. Also, Mike Milano and Chelle, was good seeing them, and chatting also. I had a good time, show was uneven IMO quality wise, but fun, and had a SUPERB five star cage match

October 4 in Fairfield is the apparent next date for PGW, who is taking time off.

Thanks for the report Ghost. I had heard from a fan who attended that the two cage matches were great. He said Brian's and Chris' was awesome. Sorry to hear Jason was injured. I was really looking forward to hearing how that one turned out. I think it would have been right up there with the cage matches. Those two always put on a good show, and despite what a recent sign that was left on our deck said (Frankie > Blade), I think they are about as evenly matched as you can get. Glad you guys had fun. I'm getting the dvd asap and will make sure I get to the next show. Thanks again for the report.

Thank you for the review, Ghost. Thanks for coming out to the show, and thanks to all that made it out to the Cardinal Shehan Center to support us as we took another step forward.

Sounded like it was a great show. I can't WAIT to get the dvd. I want it NOW lol. Looking forward to seeing the cage matches, though I know it won't be the same as being their live, but better than nothing and CERTAINLY better than sitting through that cinematic piece of trash, garbage, crap - The Happening - which started out pretty good, but lost steam 1/2 way through - and all I kept thinking was PGW, PGW, PGW...which made me hate the movie worse. Pure torture UGH!

Thanks, Lou. I'm still kicking myself for missing it. I'll be there next show though. Incidentally, we've seen some real good movies, The Hulk, Ironman...actually that's about it for what I'd consider real good. I thought the Happening LOOKED good on the trailers, in fact it started out good but got real lame half way through. I'm really happy the show went so well. I gotta get the dvd ASAP - and anybody who can get it to me will get a big plate of cookies - maybe even a lasagna dinner lol.

this is me using my burninghammer powers that be, and confirming part of Ghost's report. I was asked to just let everyone know that Nocturne did legitimately get injured doing his high spot. I couldn't see from my angle what happened, but I talked to Noc when I had to return his merchandise, and he told me he definitly f'ed up his lower back & it hurt to walk. Hopefully he will recover quickly. It was great to see him in PGW though!


As for the matches...Battle and Anthony stole the show, hands down. Followed closely by Al Snow & Bryce Andrews...and then Zombie & Kurt. The first half of the show was a good way to just introduce the crowd to your PGW regulars before getting them into the hardcore stuff.

great to see everyone there as usual =) and a couple of friends i don't normally see at indy shows!! brian smith from wicc is awesome, so everyone should listen to the pgw guys on his show! hahah.

looking forward to what sounds to be a busyyy fall with an october 4th PGW show in the mix!

That's too bad about Noc. Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. Hope it's not too bad. Good to see him as part of a PGW show.

Did you go JD? No thoughts? What about Flairfanatic? Just curious. Sounds like the cage matches stole the show, no surprise there. Really disappointed no Franke vs. Blade. Best wishes to Jason and Noc for a speedy recovery from their injuries. Looking forward to the dvd release.

Flairfanatic, if I'm not mistaken is the kid who does the photography thing. I'm sure he'll post his pictures within the next day or so...

frankie vs. blade needs to happen, and i'd love to see it happen in pgw!
