He gets to be a top guy in Lucha Underground as opposed to just another midcarder in WWE, and iirc he doesn't like the travel aspect of wrestling so LU shooting entirely in LA is appealing as well. I dunno if he still cares about legit acting anymore or not, although WWE Studios is also much more of a thing than it was when he left so he could potentially still do that in the fed.

He's got 15 movies either in the can, in pre-production, or filming. They're probably all poo poo, but I doubt he cares as long as the cheque is cut.

Wait until the end of the year for the 5 for $40 deal. BOLA eventually winds up on that every year

It won't be at the start of the sale though, they usually wait until like November before adding it. If you wanna drop a cool 200 bucks or so on wrestling DVDs I could give you a big list, but if you just want to catch up on their most recent stuff I'd recommend Bowie, Thirteen, and then all three nights of BOLA.

There's 160 shows from PWG on there, and I'd say more than not are from the vastly superior "Excalibur does commentary live instead of overdubbing in a studio or whatever" era.


My favorite PWG show of all time is All Star Weekend IX, N1, headlined by one of the craziest matches I've ever seen, a Guerilla Warfare match between Drake Younger and Sami Callahan. It's on there, too.

Speaking of PWG, here's how cody Rhodes felt about BOLA

quote:

Random notes from my PWG experience...

-Sami Callihan is an incredibly hard working man. And hard hitting.

-The respect the crew/wrestlers from this weekend showed for Jushin Thunder Liger was lovely. A lot about pro-wrestling has changed, but taking care of those who paved the way remains paramount. Also, undoubtedly he can still go.

-Bittersweet. I didn't win "BOLA"...but any man that not only hits me with an umbrella, but also kisses my wife and hits me below the belt...that man is certainly a "Villain". Congratulations Marty. You have a receipt coming.

-I did get a Pentagon shirt. I wish WWE would sign him and put his face and mask everywhere, because watching him through the curtain Friday night mall I could think was "this dude is magnificent"

-Ricochet is a movie star. (5,000 candles in wind)

-Tommy End, Tomasso, and Cedric are about to have the time of their lives.

-The Young Bucks are the tried and proven best tag-team in the world. I don't know how a soul could fathom otherwise. (Finding out they are adult men who have children left me slightly flabbergasted. They look so young)

-Maybe my favorite moment of the weekend was watching two legit rear end kickers in Jeff Cobb and Matthew Riddle skirmish for a minute.

-there was a six-man tag team match on Saturday that was excellent. Madness. Insanity. Flips and dives like you've never seen. A great pro-wrestling match from any standpoint.

-Knowing that I'll be heading into ROH's "Final Battle" on 12/2...I watched one particular mans matches very closely.

Very grappling heavy and relatively low on spots, but good. If you've liked Thatcher's stuff in PWG you'll probably dig it. It had somewhat of an unconventional finish so the crowd didn't pop for it right away because it wasn't immediately clear who won, but aside from that most of the fans were clearly familiar with Riddle already so they knew what to expect.

Highspots also filmed another Hitting The Highspots thing with Melzer and Chris Hero. Last year's was great (and was mostly Dave being incredible excited and going on this wonderful tangents), so look out for that in a few weeks.

I think Trent was in Japan during BOLA, he was posting pictures with Rocky and Okada. Not sure why the other PWG guys that work NJPW like reDRagon, the Bucks, and Ricochet/Sydal weren't on the same tour.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

The overseas talent for NJPW are on different rota's to the Japanese talent, but theres a few people who are on schedules tha aren't that far removed. Rocky works essentially one step down from a Japanese workers number of tours, and Trent as his tag partner has picked up the same. You see them often on shows where they are the only non dojo foreign talents.
