PWG All-Star Weekend 2018 Night 1 Preview!

Hello Fightful! As always, I’m KOSS, and I’m here to deliver a double shot of PWG, with All Star Weekend 14! These two shows are taking place on 4/20 and 4/21, and are two of the last three shows taking place in the infamous Legion Hall in Reseda. It’s bittersweet to see PWG leave that grimy old building. A lot of PWG’s best moments ever have taken place inside there, but, at the same time, it feels right for PWG to finally move on up to a bigger, better venue.

With the sentimentality out of the way, let’s talk about these All Star Weekend 14! I’ll be cutting the preview into two articles, just for the sake of convenience. As for the..
