Everyone loves PWG. We love talking about it. Here’s a preview of the DDT4 tag tournament coming up tonight in Reseda.
Giving their thoughts and predictions on what to expect from the show are members of the site @typicalROHfan, @TimWelcomed and @TomBlackett.
First we’ll do the non-tournament matches.
Chris Hero vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. Drake Younger in a Four-Way #1 Contender Match
typicalROHfan:
The best thing about this match aside from the overall talent and clash of styles is that it’s very realistic any of them could win. Chris Hero still has his “return buzz” going. Johnny Gargano apparently had the PWG World Title match vs. Adam Cole in 2014 on the recent All Star Weekend show. Kyle O’Reilly was “screwed” in his title shot due to Mount Rushmore attacking. Drake Younger is a king in Reseda. I think Drake wins this match and wins the title on the next show. Or maybe even the same night if the title shot happens then. PWG does crazy things, yo.
Interest Level: 9/10
Prediction: Drake Younger wins.
Tim:
This match is ridiculous in the best way possible. Hero, Gargano, and O’Reilly are some of my favorites and I’m finally starting to warm up to Younger. This match is loaded with great performers and all of them have a reason they could win. I think O’Reilly wins here so he can try again for the belt since Mount Rushmore ruined his chance last time and they will save Younger getting a shot for another time in the not-so-distant future.
Interest Level: 10/10
Prediction: Kyle O’Reilly wins.
Tom:
Four way matches are rarely something I look forward to (even when there’s a dynamite stipulation like having a different member of the same awful family in each guy’s corner), but this is a really fun mix-up that should be great. While all four are very different, I don’t see it as being a clash of styles – it might get a little messy and chaotic, but in that really fun PWG way.
As far as the winner, Drake’s the only one to have not had a singles title match recently, so he seems to be the natural choice to win and get a title shot. Just from an emotional perspective though, it feels like it’s Drake’s time – after rewatching some of his PWG matches from the past year, I’ve found a new appreciation for what he brings to the company and he’s ridiculously likeable.
Interest Level: 9/10
Prediction: Drake Younger wins.
