We discuss PWG’s first BOLA to take place outside of its signature American Legion Hall residence in Reseda, its difficulty in maintaining a recurring roster as independent acts sign full-time deals with larger companies, as well as the ongoing relevance of its delayed-release model in a landscape of increasing live streaming options.
This edition of the Rewind-A-Wai is presented by Espresso Executive Producer,Bruce Lord.

Excited to hear this review but I wasn’t going to pay to watch this and plus it just happened last year so I remember the coverage surrounding it.
Maybe make the producers pick something at least 3-5 years old? The best part of Rewind A Wai is hearing you guys talk about the state of the industry at that time.
If an executive producer is paying $50 a month, they probably deserve to pick whatever show they want to review. But, I am in agreement with you in that it’s very disappointing to me when a more current show is picked. I much prefer the in depth analysis on retro shows at least 10 years old. On the bright side, the Double Shot has been giving some doses of nostalgia lately with reviews on the Viceland docs.
I personally prefer older shows but as efuds said we pay for the right to choose whatever show we want and they shouldn’t be any restrictions(maybe Over The Edge 99).
My pick is up in four weeks and you will be pleased to know it’s a show from 1997 what the guys haven’t reviewed before here or at the LAW.
I was thinking about what was missing from this show and I think you’re right efuds, feel it was the lack of depth that most rewind-a-wai go into when they have an older show to review. I didn’t mind this for a change but this felt like more a show the guys could have thrown up as an extra show rather than a rewind-a-wai.
If I’d known I could watch PWG before this I would have left feedback but all I could see was a 5 minute highlight clip.
In regards to Jonah I’m pretty sure he’s always shaken his hair in his matches. As for the reigns inspired fist pump I’d have to see the clip to be 100% sure.
As a counter arguement, I’ve had bola 2018 on my computer since around oct and hadn’t watched it yet. This gave me motivation to finally sit down and watch it all, so I’m rather grateful for this particular R-a-W.
