Flashback Reviews PWG Sells Out Part 2

Ok second DVD of PWG sells out. The first one was all about name value talent featuring guys like CM Punk, AJ Styles, and Samoa Joe. This one is all about the PWG home grown talent guys like Joey Ryan, Davey Richards, and Kevin Steen. And this the one PWG really need to impress people after all these were the guys on the show PWG was selling.

Excalibur welcomes us to DVD two talking about the great home grown talent we will see. I with they had done more with stuff. Maybe him explain any history between the two in the match were about to see or just hype up the match. It feels kind of useless to just to film the guy in front of wall for three total appearance that could easily have been left out otherwise.

Hart attack by Arrogance Bosh out of the ring to jaw with the fans and Lost goes for the Scorpion Death lock. Small package Sky for the 1 2 3. I really wanted to like this match and I can tell all four guys really tried. But its an over booked mess. Also the finish kind of feel anti climatic and makes Bosh look really stupid it would have been better to have Sky knock Lost into Bosh sending him to the floor that way. Also it feels so anti climatic to have the belts change hands with Quicksilver out of the match like that. 

Post match we see Bosch still think they won and is slapping hands with fans. Joey Ryan is back up as he and Lost look stunned. Bosch has the belts and hand one to Lost. Finally Bosh is told they lost the match. Bosh claims "That move always works your lying." I think they are teasing a break up with Arrogance as it comes off like Bosh is blaming Lost. Bosh hands his belt to Sky. Lost nails Sky with the other belt. Lost and Bosh beat on Sky. Ryan and Bosh hold Sky as Lost removes the mask exposing his face. And this isn't the usual mask comes off but face gets covered deal we see Sky's face as he stopped wearing his mask after this. Lost tosses his belt on to Sky. The ring few tries to cover Sky's face but he uncovers it. Sky picks up his mask and breaks down. Sky is helped to the back. Again I really don't' know why included this post match angle. Since there was never a real payoff to in PWG.

Up protected psyco driver onto the tacts for the win. If your a fan of hardcore wrestling you will enjoy this. I have some issues with it mainly it being going to the same side room to get weapons. Also commentary really hurt this match. Mainly they made it clear it was begin tapped post match sand even pointed out when Disco Machine and Taro who were calling it could be seen on screen yet they still acted shocked by stuff that happens in the match. And in a funny note after this match you can hear Taro and Machine recording the intro for the DVD.  They could't edit that off?

We than get a post match promo by Steen who say Super Dragon finally beat him. Steen tells Dragon to never forget everything it took to beat him. WE can see the tacts are still in Steen's head. Steen says he is still walking and he will be back. Its a good promo by Steen. I really have to wonder why other promos weren't on this DVD as I feel that kind of stuff could have helped sell the story for a big match like this.

That wraps up the second DVD. As I said at the start this was the one PWG really needed to be a hit after all in 2008 guys like Richards, Generico, Steen, and Ryan were all still regulars in PWG. So fans that might have liked this DVD and wanted to check out more had to impressed by them the current DVD instead of just looking for older ones that would feature guys that have moved on. There are a lot of good matches on here but it almost feels like PWG over played there hand. By having two cage matches and Guerrilla Warfare you do a lot of brawling and weapon spots. Again I feel adding some type of bonus features that would explain the history could have helped or even just having Excaliber host more and explain some of the backstory. But overall a good watch.
