REVIEW: PWG Mystery Vortex III: Ok That Makes More Sense

October 8, 2022

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? Mystery Vortex III Date: June 26, 2015 Location: American Legion Post #308, Reseda, California Commentators: Excalibur, Rick Knox, Chris Hero, Joey Ryan, Ethan Page This is another PWG show that someone requested I do….a few years back now, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a bad one. From what I understand, the gimmick of this show is that the card isn’t announced until the wrestlers are coming out of the curtain. That should make for a fun show so let’s get to it. As usual, I don’t really follow PWG so I’m..

It’s back in the earlier days of PWG and I’m not sure if there is some kind of gimmick for the show. PWG has a history of some rather awesome show names and the tradition holds up in their earlier days too. Let’s get to it. An unnamed man is..

LOOK: Former WWE Star Appears On The Price Is Right, Looks A Bit Different

April 22, 2022

It might be more noteworthy. There have been all kinds of wrestlers throughout WWE’s history, some of whom have made a bigger impact than others. Some wrestlers have been major stars and others have been smaller players, while most are in the middle, as WWE has tried to do something with them and never gotten very far. One of those cases made a TV appearance this week, albeit in a way that had nothing to do with wrestling. Former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson made an appearance on the Price Is Right this week. Jackson, appearing under his real name of Rycklon Stephens, was on the show with his family and made it to the Showcase Showdown. A former Intercontinental and ECW Champion, Stephens has not wrestled since 2015 at a show in German and now works as a fitness instructor. Hey look who it is!

Welcome to the AEW team. There have been all kinds of wrestlers moving around the wrestling world this year and that has made for some rather exciting moments.

This comes after a Malakai Black segment aired during this week’s edition of Dynamite and referenced a king. Black and King are currently the PWG Tag Team Champions, having won the titles on September 26. There is no word on when King could be making his debut. This could be interesting.

Another Wrestling Promotion Returning From Hiatus

June 11, 2021

It is starting to look normal again. We are still in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic but things have started to get a little bit closer to normal. Above all else, major wrestling promotions have started to allow fans back into attendance, but there have been some promotions who have not even run shows in a rather long time now. One of the biggest left will be coming back soon. Pro Wrestling Guerrilla has announced that they will be returning with their first live event in over a year and a half on August 1. The event will be the promotion’s first since December 20, 2019. There have been no matches, wrestlers or any additional information announced so far. Several of the promotion’s stars have since signed elsewhere, including Tag Team Champions the Rascalz, now known as MSK in NXT. Kept you waiting, huh?

The Big Daddy. WWE Signs A Major Name For NXT UK.

November 27, 2018

That’s a big one. The WWE has gone out of their way to expand the NXT UK brand. After this weekend’s announcement of the first ever NXT UK Takeover, it’s clear that WWE has some big plans around here. The talent is already there on the brand, but you need some big names in there to really make an impact. Sometimes you need a big name here or there, and that’s what WWE seems to have done. According to PWInsider.com, WWE has signed top European name WALTER (as it is spelled). The current Progress Wrestling World Champion, WALTER is a big man who wrestles a power style and is well known for his chops. He recently dropped the PWG World Title, which may have been for the sake of signing with WWE. At the moment this would be for the NXT UK brand only, though there is a chance that he could come over to work some regular NXT dates. You’re going to need to get used to this guy. He’s got some crazy chops: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: You had to know this was coming on..

Johnny Gargano Addresses Being Compared To Daniel Bryan, And Speaks On Working With Candice LeRae In NXT

April 16, 2018

"Johnny Wrestling" is on fire. Coming down from an amazing start to his 2018, Mr. "All Heart" himself Johnny Gargano spoke with Chris Van Vliet recently and the two parties went over a number of topics including: Gargano being able to work with his wife Candice LeRae in NXT, the concern he's received from fans about being mishandled once he is called up to the main roster, and more. Former PWG World Tag Team Champion Candice LeRae signed with the WWE earlier this year and her first piece of on-screen action came in the form of taking down Zelina Vega for Vega's constant interference in Johnny Gargano and Andrade "Cien" Almas' NXT Championship match at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia. Johnny Gargano has stated on numerous occasions that he is elated to have Candice in the same company as he is and further dove into the topic in this interview. "It's amazing how everything has worked out. It's literally a dream come true to be in the position I'm in. To be abl..

PWG All-Star Weekend 2018 Night 1 Preview!

April 14, 2018

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. And their seeming new venue, the Globe Theater in Los Angeles, is certainly a step up, as seen from the preview from their first show there, Time is a Flat Circle. It’ll be sad when May 25th rolls around and PWG says goodbye to their home for the last decade, but it’s also an exciting new chapter in PWG’s history that I can’t wait to dive head first into. 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..
