PWG: Breaking the Glass Ceiling

"The Best Pro Wrestling in North America" - Dave Meltzer

------------------
Pro-Wrestling Gurreilla has been long considered one of the best wrestling promotions on the planet for the pure athletic ability the wrestlers display inside the ring, it has become sort of a proving ground for wrestlers to come show their biggest guns for all the world's biggest fans and companies to see. However, whilst this creates fantastic matches it also inflicts a dangerous virus onto PWG, a virus that you might call "The ECW Sickness". Showcasing these world travelled stars and giving them chances to put on the best matches of their career causes the scouts of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world to come knocking and by the end of the year PWG's roster has usually lost 5 or 6 notable names to WWE, NJPW or even ROH. So What happens when PWG still showcases this amazing talent but focuses more so on local, homegrown talent that they could possibly hold onto? Well, let's find out...
------------------

- PWG Tag Team Championship -
The Young Bucks

- PWG World Heavyweight Championship -
Zack Sabre Jr​

​

• An impressive first show, we actually drew with ROH's show this month in terms of reviews and that's huge for us considering how much more coverage and talent they have.

• Callihan was dissapointing, very dissapointing. Was hoping to give him a push in the near future but he's still got a ways to go before he's anything.

• Thought it'd be nice to give Hero one last PWG Main Event, lad is getting on in age and could sign an exclusive contract with NXT/WWE anytime now, he's working Per Appearance in NXT atm. Hope they don't fire him for his weight again.

• Candice LeRae, Chris Hero, Marty Scurll, Ricochet, Cody Rhodes, Drew Galloway, Zack Sabre Jr, Matt Riddle, The Young Bucks and Adam Cole all put in great performances, pat on the back especially for Hero and Ricochet whom especially shone. Ricochet was the overall best performer.

• Ospreay's working Japan next month so he ain't working the next show.

Prediction Table:
@Dojo - 5 out of 7
@Ethan Hunt - 5 out of 7

Sami Callihan was the weak link
