Pro Wrestling Guerrilla - Battle of Los Angeles (Night One)
Reseda, California at The American Legion Hall
Melissa Santos is our official ring announcer. Excalibur is out to give his standard speech in an amazing Ted DiBiase Wrestling Buddy shirt.
Chuck Taylor wandered through the crowd midway through the speech. He'll be on commentary tonight.
1. Brian Cage defeated Aero Star in a Battle of Los Angeles First Round Match. This was not the prettiest match to open the night. Aero Star flew. Cage was powerful. They didn't seem to be on the same page. Cage won via pinfall in a short match.
2. Biff Busick defeated Andrew Everett in a Battle of Los Angeles First Round Match. This is far closer to what I expected to see here. Busick and Everett tore it up with a fun match featuring fun near falls, a little flying, and some stiff strikes. Biff won with a T-Bone Suplex, followed by a big clothesline on the floor. Very fun match.
3. Will Ospreay defeated Mark Andrews in a Battle of Los Angeles First Round Match. This was tremendous. It's great to see this British standouts in the United States. The crowd loved this. Ospreay won a great match with some sort of reverse shooting star awesomeness I should know the proper name of.
4. Angélico & Jack Evans defeated Inner City Machine Guns (Rich Swann & Ricochet). This was some high-flying goodness. Dives, flips, and all the twirly kicks occurred. Evans pinned Swann to close it out.
Intermission.
5. Trevor Lee defeated Trent? in a Battle of Los Angeles First Round Match. This was good, but not blow-away good. Lee won the match with a Fisherman Buster of some sort.
Chuck Taylor and Trent? hugged after the match in a beautiful Best Friends reunion.
6. Pentagón Jr. defeated Drago in a Battle of Los Angeles First Round Match. My goodness was it great to watch Pentagon Jr. and Drago again. This was super fun Lucha goodness. Pentagon won with the Package Piledriver and is almost as over in LA as the last guy who used that move.
7. "Rebourne" Matt Sydal defeated Fénix in a Battle of Los Angeles First Round Match. This was main-event worthy and truly awesome. It was dramatic and action packed. Just excellent. Sydal won with his amazing Shooting Star Press. Must see match.
8. Roderick Strong & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) defeated Tommy End, Zack Sabre, Jr., & "Party" Marty Scurll. This match was absolutely insane. Sabre Jr. and Strong had some fantastic exchanges. The Bucks were on their A-game. Heck, we ever saw a Double Meltzer Driver. The Brits were awesome in this. Man, what a main event. The finish saw Sabre Jr., who had been assaulted multiple times with kicks and chairs and things get pinned after a major Backbreaker from Strong. Great great match
