Flashback Reviews PWG Sells Out Volume 1 Part 3

Time for the final DVD in the PWG Sells Out set. This DVD is going to feature the various International talent that has been in PWG over the years. Why PWG has never made it to ROH levels in terms of over seas stars they have worked with a number of companies over the years. Also like the second disk this will have a number of PWG regulars in these matches so it's another chance to win over fans to buy PWG shows.

Excaliber welcomes us to the third set he claims PWG has grown from a mom and pop operation to a global sensation. He lists some of the stars we will see such as Pac, Cima and Kaz Hayashi.

From Based on a True Story Guerrilla Warfare Match for the PWG World Heavyweight Championship Joey © vs Human Tornado with Candice LaRae- Ok wait why is this opening DVD about International talents in PWG? Both these guys would be PWG home grown stars this would have fit more on the second disk. Hell if it's a run time issue just swap this match for the Generico vs Cima and Pac Matches. Ok that is nitpick. Ryan reign as PWG champion had reached over 400 days. These two had a previous match where Tornado had beat Ryan and appeared to win the title only for it to be over turned because Tornado had started the match as El Snowflake (the character he played in the movie Nacho Libre) Before the match Ryan says he give Tornado credit for being relentless. But Ryan says no one can take the belt from him. He than goes for super heat by saying he will own Tornado like it's 1860. Both guys are in there normal wrestling gear as I have started a number of times in the past I prefer for matches like these that are going to be more fights and weapons than actual wrestling it looks better if your clothes you would wear for a street fight. Right at the start Ryan goes the floor and grabs onto Candice. This distracts Tornado so Chris Bosh can jump him. Elbow to the back of the head by Ryan he than uses his boots to choke Tornado.

Danielson says tonight Generico proved himself and says he respects him and offer him a rematch. Danielson thanks the fans for supporting PWG.

Disc three is basically the Pac show as he's in the a large number of the match so I do see why maybe they put two of his match on the second DVD and moved Ryan vs Tornado to this one. Again you get a lot of great matches. And hell guys like Generico and Pac have both gone onto big things in WWE since so its cool to see some of there earlier matches. 


Overall thoughts on the DVD Set- At over nine hours long this you get a hell of a lot of wrestling action. Production wise nothing ever fails but I do wish they had broken rings up better maybe including more host segment or adding some DVD extras. While this DVD gives you a great taste for the in ring action of PWG I feel like it could have done more to entice fans with some extras to just show more of what PWG is like. Over all though it's a very good set and worth the money. It might be kind of hard to track down but if you newer PWG fans especially it's worth checking out. And yeah its good enough I could see someone who picked this up a Walmart because CM Punk, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles are on the cover checking out a PWG because of it.
