2/16 PRO WRESTLING GUERRILLA 'NEON NIGHTS' REPORT FROM RESEDA, CA

PWG NEON NIGHTS

Adam Brooks defeats Brody King in the opener.  King is a local from Van Nuys and was very over with the crowd being part of the Bar Wrestling promotion.

Next up was Ring of Honor Champion Dalton Castle vs "Bad Boy" Joey Janella.  Lots of comedy in the match not a ton of action. Castle hits the Bangarang after about 15 minutes. "The Boys" were not his regulars so seeing out of shape guys playing the roles was pretty funny. 

Travis Banks defeats David Starr.  My second time seeing Starr and he's growing on me.  Brooks was pretty good winning a back and forth match. 

Flip Gordon taps out to Zack Sabre Jr.   Sabre was great as always heeling the crowd. Sabre spent the match trying to ground the spot monkey Gordon with submission moves. 

The match of the night. 

"Limitless" Keith Lee vs. Matthew Riddle.   Intense hard hitting bout with Riddle bumping around like super ball. Lee chopped Riddle so hard his chest started bleeding. They hit the mat so hard that the plywood popped up and a large lump was in the center of the ring. 

Chuck Tayor vs. Trent Beretta.  Hard hitting match with both looking to have injured themselves early. Taylor appeared to be favoring his shoulder. Trent started favoring one of his arms. During the match, Trent was walking past me. I asked if he tore his triceps and Baretta says, "My biceps no joke" and then continued to wrestle.  Taylor busted Trent open hard way on the corner eyebrow.    
During the match Taylor turned heel on his best friend, hitting Trent with the PWG title belt and low blowed him for the pinfall.  I assume this angle is just for PWG and will not affect their teaming in Ring of Honor or New Japan Pro Wrestling.
