The winner of PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles tournament was crowned on Sunday night at the Globe Theatre.
Here are results and Dave Meltzer’s live notes from the show:
BOLA tournament match: Mike Bailey defeated Jordynne Grace
Really Bailey won via Flamingo Driver. Grace with power moves and chokes and working on hand. Bailey with nice kicks and dives.
BOLA tournament match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Titus Alexander
Takeshita won with a jumping knee. Great match. Alexander got a ton of believable offense. Lots of German suplexes, hard kicks, and knees. Alexander did strong and similar moves as Takeshita.
BOLA tournament match: Bryan Keith defeated Masha Slamovich
Eddie Kingston was on commentary for the match.
Keith won with a running knee. Very physical. Some great near falls that really popped the crowd. Keith’s mouth was busted open. Both looked good. Crowd was into Masha. Both bowed to each other after.
BOLA tournament match: Komander defeated Bandido
Komander hit a ropewalk shooting star for the pin.
Bandido came in hurting. He went heel, but he was hurting. Lots of great spots but several botches. Ref counted three on a near fall early minutes in and took it back.
BOLA tournament match: Mike Bailey defeated Shun Skywalker
Best match of the show so far. Bailey won with a shooting star press double knees to the chest.
Lots of great moves. Skywalker atoned for his performance last night and looked great here.
Latigo & Black Taurus defeated Rey Horus & Aramis
Taurus pinned Horus after a powerbomb into a backbreaker and Awful Waffle.
Excellent lucha libre match, great dives and moves. The best match of the night so far.
BOLA tournament match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Komander
Takeshita won with a backslide. Too short, but was tremendous while it lasted.
BOLA tournament match: Mike Bailey defeated Bryan Keith
Great match. Bailey won with a 450 double knees to the back.
Keith got way over and “please come back” chants.
Very physical and everything was crisp. Maybe the second best tournament match of the weekend.
Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara, Matt Menard, & Angelo Parker (with Anna Jay, Tay Melo, and Jake Hager) defeated Jonathan Gresham, Evil Uno, SB Kento, Michael Oku, and Kevin Blackwood
Super entertaining. They treated this like a major match, all action. They all did the slow motion spot for minutes until Jericho started chopping Oku hard. Jericho and Oku were the highlight, but Jericho gave Blackwood a lot of near falls on him before the bay shot by Garcia set up the Judas Effect.
Jericho called it modern ECW.
Fans wanted Daddy Magic talk.
Fans threw money.
BOLA finals: Mike Bailey defeated Konosuke Takeshita to win the tournament
They pulled out all the stops here, lots of innovative stuff.
Super match, but they had a hard time following the prior match, and I think people were surprised Takeshita didn’t win.
Bailey won with shooting star double knees and a Flamingo Driver.
Bailey said the best wrestlers are in PWG not for the money, but because the greatest supporters of pro wrestling are here. He said this is also Takeshita’s win.
Don Callis was there scouting Takeshita in a segment being filmed for AEW.
