GKJ's card

Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling presents:


Wrestlevania 3
from Philadelphia, PA



Commentators: Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves


Ring Announcer: Greg Hamilton

1. Los Ingobernables de Japón (EVIL & SANADA) (c) vs. Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) w/ Paul Ellering (c) vs.
PCW Tag Team Championship

Since he is not needed elsewhere, Paul Ellering has come to PCW to bring back the Authors of Pain, in all of their glorious power - that we all do actually remember. In their way stand former IWGP Tag Team champions who are far established as both singles and a tag team in their own right, as they meet in the place they can.

2. Stan Hansen (c) vs. Keith Lee
PCW Commonwealth Championship

Perhaps Philadelphia isn't the place to have two massive hosses from Texas have a throw down, but the allure of the rugged, old school brawler Stan Hansen mixing it up with an absurdly athletic powerhouse like Keith Lee. Will Hansen be forced to bask in the glory of Keith Lee with the prestigious Commonwealth Championship up for grabs

3. Drew Gulak (c) vs. Hirooki Goto vs. Jungle Boy vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Johnny Saint vs. Caristico vs. El Phantasmo
Elimination Chamber
PCW Cruiserweight Championship

Drew Gulak has reigned as the re-named and more sensibly so as the PCW Cruiserweight champion for a fair bit of time now and has returned to his home town of Philadelphia to defend the title in a setting never been done before - the Elimination Chamber. The challenge has been laid down for all comers (or qualifiers) to come down to his city from all around the world to contest for the title and attempt to do so with a ground-based offense (or not). With 7 people in the match, it will start with three people with each pod opening at a predetermined and not at all when it is perfectly convenient.

4. Rick Martel vs. Tyler Breeze
Singles Match

The ultimate matchup in vanity and narcissism - Arrogance vs. Beauty. "Prince Pretty" Tyler Breeze is trying to continue to get his career back on track, and his next course of action is to challenge a former version of himself - at the other end of the selfie stick is none other than “the Model” Rick Martel. Egocentric self-love will be at an all-time high.

5. Boss 'n Hug Connection (Sasha Banks & Bayley) vs. The Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno & Itsuki Yamazaki)
Inaugural Championship Match
PCW Women's Tag Team Championship

Inspired by other promotions introducing women's tag team championships, PCW has introduced the titles for this show, and in an attempt to actually try and make them important and historically accurate, two teams have been brought in to allow one to take their rightful place as first ever champions. From Japan, the Jumping Bomb Angels have reunited after some time away under these auspices, while Sasha Banks and Bayley went out of their way by laying in front of and blocking the entrance to Chairman G. Kim Johnsson's office to demand this opportunity in a dream match scenario, seizing an opportunity for women's tag teams to follow - even though the match was simply going to be announced as such. The victors will get a second chance to make a good first impression as champions.

6. Owen Hart vs. Roman Reigns
#1 Contender Match
Singles Match

Owen Hart, as well noted, despite being one of the best in-ring and overall performers in the history of the business, has never been at the top of the mountain. Standing in front of him is the guy who has previously been in the spot as the top guy, uh, in some places - the spot Owen has never been able to see. Roman Reigns has a well-documented of his own of highs and lows, and is now preparing for an opponent whose best is considered by some to be the best there's ever been. Both men are one step away from being one step away from finishing their story.

7. Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
2 out of 3 Falls - 3rd fall Submission
PCW Women's Championship

Charlotte has exhaustingly been PCW Women’s champion for quite sometime, dating back to a rematch of another match that had taken place elsewhere but never booked again. Chairman G. Kim Johnsson is ready to present Charlotte with a new challenger. Expecting an opportunity to be given to Sasha Banks, the chairman is quick to correct her - we’re not ready to see that match again yet. While these projects can be meant for people to look into the past, but here we look to the future, and it is in Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling where two such tremendous female talents will do battle for the very first time. The new challenger is revealed to be none other than Shayna Baszler! And she brings a style and intensity that Charlotte may not be prepared for. The chairman also decrees that there must be a definitive winner, so not only will the match be 2 out of 3 falls, the third fall must be won by submission - setting the stage for the the vigorous rivalry to come in the future.

8. Seth Rollins (c) vs. Edge
Extreme Rules
PCW World Championship
Since PCW does not have a Money in the Bank gimmick, Seth Rollins remains PCW World Champion even after a seemingly innocuous social media spat between the significant others somehow ended up involving both of them (with the real fuse being lit about 9 months ago when Edge insinuated that Rollins’ girlfriend should think less of herself than she did and proved him wrong). Culminating in a challenge from Edge, who only wishes to engage with others if they’re willing to pay it off in a match. The demand from the fans of PCW calls for the two to settle all of their accusations, war of words, and overall speculations and comparisons in this year’s main event. Rollins, of course familiar with this city (including the Armory up in Northeast Philly) has made it known he wants nothing to be off limits, and chairman G. Kim Johnsson believes this may be the only time the two ever meet in the ring - anywhere. So it has been made known that this will be an Extreme Rules match!

GKJ with a hell of a card and this should be a good ole battle! Love it

 

[CHGoalie27]

Sry @ColePens i love your card and respect the power move, but GKJ is shooting for the finals here...

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Had to go GKJ here. ColePens is a card of one match to me, and I don't think I could listen to a show that beats me over the head with the word "evolution" ever again.

GKJ has some good match ups but I dislike the element of things being booked to spite WWE, and I think Edge vs Rollins is a terrible matchup.

Why is Edge Rollins terrible? Think of pre-knee injury Rollins, just as don't think of CM Punk as last we left off for the Adam Cole Iron Man...yeah that right plugging the guy that beat me. @Sheppy Good match btw, wouldn't mind a redemption rematch next year

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Why is Edge Rollins terrible? Think of Pre-knee injury Rollins

It's a mismatch to me. Edge was never known for being a great technician. His strength is in the little things like facial expressions and character work. Rollins I find to be the direct opposite of this. His strengths are cardio and speed and in-ring ability but generally lacks everywhere else.
I think it would have a good chance to end up being at worst a mess, but at best underwhelming. I don't think it even works on paper.

Well I mean I kinda think that would actually make for a good match, Rollins ability to maneuver around Edge should give him his advantage to stay in the game against the bigger Edge. The more I think about it the more I like it, really.

And ColePens is certainly not a one match show? Which match- Rousey Chyna? or Toyota Asuka? Both historical as it gets and the rest are legit good matchups too. Cross Vachon. Never the biggest fan of Paige, but Del Ray is a show herself. If you don't like the gals, that's your preference, but CP has a solid card up and down.

I'd agree if I thought Rollins could carry someone. I don't think they'd have good chemistry. Good wrestlers can have bad chemistry. Edge also wouldn't be that much bigger. Hard to buy him as the powerhouse when Rollins is ripped to shreds.
The opposite can be said of their characters too. They may be too similar in that regards. When it comes to characters, I prefer differences over similarities. More meat on the bone there.
I would agree with you if my original issues were fixed. If Edge was better in-ring or Rollins was a better worker they should have no problem. Their weaknesses don't compliment each other to me.

Not trying to outright bury GKJ here as I did vote for him, but Rollins vs Edge stuck out to me as a weak main event from the get go.

 

[SeidoN]

voted ColePens. GKJ has a nice card but alot of guys I dont care for.

 

[JackSlater]

GKJ here. Significantly better in-ring product with some effort put into fleshing things out. I believe that I said it before but I do enjoy Reigns vs Hart as a really good contrast in story/reality terms, and Owen could easily give a quality carry. I also don't think that Edge vs Rollins would turn out to be anything noteworthy in-ring, but it's the better main event so I don't really care at this point.

Fair enough!

 

[ColePens]

Butt whip city! Well done G. You deserve it. Kicked my ass.

 

[les Habs]

I'll say it again, but kudos to @ColePens for what he was shooting for. In some ways an advantage, in some ways a disadvantage, but few would have the foresight or the balls to try it. Oddly enough @GKJ has two good looking women's matches despite leaving it late with the picks for it. Anyway, @GKJ obviously has more guys that I like. I mean this will all due respect, but hoping that @ColePens goes back to a more "traditional" for lack of a better term card next year as he always puts up some compelling matches.

 

[Disclose]

Butt whip city! Well done G. You deserve it. Kicked my ass.

got two rounds dude!
this was fun. i simply cant vote against your card. you had an open road to pick amazing wrestlers.
disappointed it didnt got farther. but competition was really good.

 

[ColePens]

I'm going to have my women's card invade GKJ's card and just lay 'em all out. Tear the ring apart, NXT invasion style.

 

[Emperoreddy]

@GKJ has my favorite card.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I am surprised at the sourness of a Rollins vs. Edge match. Is it just because Rollins stock has dropped recently?

Not to me. It's all about the styles. Similar to why I was never thrilled at the idea of Sting vs Undertaker. Just a clash of styles that I don't think gel well.
I don't think it sinks GKJ's card by any means. If nothing else, it's still some star power.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Man I would love to see a prime sting vs prime undertaker. My head canon thinks about what an epic feud that could be.
