Finlay vs. Steen. Holy. Christ.

Coming around to that Battle of Los Angeles time of year, and this version of it has me ultra-excited! Most of the matches include PWG regulars, including El Generico versus Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero versus Willie Mack. But one match in particular should have a heap of people talking.

New PWG World Heavyweight Champion, Ring of Honor blacklisted "Antichrist of Professional Wrestling" (and also a guy who threatens rape by retweets), Kevin Steen facing  former WWE superstar & road agent, "The Belfast Bruiser" Dave "Fit" Finlay.

If CM Punk vs. John Cena was the match of the year, then this is sure to be spectacle of the year. PWG, consider your DVD bought.

Your Moment of Mark: #1 - Chris Hero's KTFO


Yet another segment I hope to bring in week to week, and I thought I'd start with something a little fresher than Al Snow. This is from PWG's Cyanide show, the match in question was the King's of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) facing ¡Peligro Abejas! (El Generico and Paul London). It was this moment where Hero introduced Generico to one of his newer moves, the KTFO.

Hero's striking offense is already pretty harsh to it's victims, with moves like his Death Blow Roaring Elbow or the Cyclone Kill coming to mind, but this move takes the cake in just sheer brutality. A donkey punch-esque stomp to the back of the skull, followed up by a trademark Hero discus elbow, both of which sound so stiff that it makes you cringe a little. Definitely not a move I wish upon any man in the ring.
