cuey82 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Well, just when I thought PWG were having a quiet start to the year (only quiet compared to the awesomeness of 2012 & 2013), they go and somehow out do themselves! This years BOLA is 24 competitors over 3 nights, 29th, 30th & 31st August, there's still 8 competitors to be announced and it already looks the strongest line up possibly ever (well 2007 BOLA was very strong at the time but still!) 1. Matt Sydal 2. Drew Gulak 3. Trevor Lee 4. Chris Sabin 5. Johnny Gargano 6. Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins) 7. Michael Elgin 8. Biff Busick 9. Kyle O'Reilly 10. Brian Cage 11. ACH 12. Zack Sabre Jr 13. Rich Swann 14. Trent? 15. AJ Styles 16. Cedric Alexander 17. AR Fox 18. Chris Hero 19. Roderick Strong 20. Chuck Taylor 21. Tomasso Ciampa 22. Adam Cole 23. Ricochet 24. Kenny Omega So that's 4 debuts in PWG (Gulak, Busick, Myers & Sabre Jr) and 4 anticipated returns (Sydal, Sabin, Styles & Omega) My tip to win it is Elgin, beaten finalist for last 2 years in a row, just feel now is his time! If not then Ricochet if he is announced No doubt we'll see some people raise their status like Gargano in last years, I think Sabre Jr and Gulak will be nice surprises; I'm open minded to see Myers on the indies as long as he's give time he could make the impact Trent? has since he debuted last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 It seems like an amazing BOLA this year, I feel like Gargano is gonna take it this year. If Younger didn't leave, I'd think he would win it. I hope to see Styles/Gargano again, the match they had for 2CW is so good. Also, I think you forgot Cedric Alexander.

Oops I completely forgot about him you're right, thought the numbers didn't as up with them announcing 8 yesterday, makes sense 8 today, presumably the last 8 tomorrow? I think the final 8 will be made of PWG regulars eg Ricochet, Steen (if he's not in WWE at that point), Willie Mack (if not same as steen), Roderick Strong, Joey Ryan, AR Fox, Chuck Taylor, Tomasso Ciampa I can't see there being more debuts, the only likely ones if they happen could be JT Dunn and/or Timothy Thatcher And I haven't see that match yet but I have heard good things, to be fair Gargano could drag a decent match out of anybody. I would love to see him and O'Reilly go at it again, if not in the BOLA tournament, a title match one of the nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmVD Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I was waiting for this topic to come up. I guess I haven't been following it lately, because the only people I knew about being in it were Sydal and Gulak. This year's BOLA is going to be awesome We need some Alex Shelley up in this bitch! ^Also this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Øhlin Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 This is a card I can get behind. Looks to be solid and it should be able to produce a good chunk of good matches. Hope they bring some puro guys over if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Looks great so far. I'd really like to see Mack, Shelley, Hero and Ricochet being added. I'm sure AR will get added as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Not been a follower of PWG can someone tell me the premise of BOLA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshceck Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Not sure what that word 'premise' actually means. English is not my first language and tried to use translater but didn't help... I'm gonna guess you mean what's BOLA about. It's King of the Ring style tournament. Winner gets a trophy and whatever he wants. Most have chosen a world title shot while Davey Richards requested a shot at the tag titles in 06. 2009 the PWG title was vacated after Danielson won it on his last night before going to WWE. So the BOLA of that year was for the strap. The amount of wrestlers taking part of the tournament has varied from 8 to 24 and from 1 night tournament to 3 day. There has been a sort of curse around BOLA because many times there has been booking issues and wrestlers have been pulled out of the tournament due to injuries. My favorite BOLA's thus far have been 2007 & 2008. Also the first one in 2005 has a place in my heart because Bosh won it. It's easily my favorite tournament held in US over stuff like Best of the Best (CZW) or Young Lions Cup (CHIKARA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Easily the best part of BOLA ever is the mega tag match of people eliminated on the last night of BOLA 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmVD Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Is that the one where everyone chases Omega around the building, or was that 08? I haven't seen much of the older PWG, aside from the Sells Out Compilations, so I'd say one of my favorite moment was also a tag match of people eliminated. Actually two of them, at BOLA '12. The first was the match with Team Statutory. (The birth of Sleazy Kyle) And then I think it was also at BOLA '12 where Generico teamed with Steen and Rick Knox against the Young Bucks and Brian Cage.

JDavis Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I see Hero,ACH,Riccochet,Elgin,Cole,and Strong rounding out the normal roster members. I see Daniels and Kazarian being added as two more big names as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixsplash420 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I still think the first bola had one of the best lineups. The tag between all the losers of night 1 on night 2 was awesome for that one. This lineup definitely looks like one of the best in a few years. I would love to see super dragon come back at bola as doubtful as I know that is he did say he'd be back at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuey82 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The final 8, have been announced, and wow just wow, Kenny Omega comes home, as if this tournament line up couldn't get any better Sadly this looks like the event prior to BOLA, ELEVEN is Steens final PWG appearence; I'm also surprised (but not necessarily disappointed) not to see Joey Ryan or Candice Larae in the tournament, presumably they'll tag together in a non tournament match up, What a line up, best BOLA ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
