00:00This is, this was supposed to be the main event of the very first PWG show over almost two years ago actually, 22 months ago this match was supposed to take place, but it hasn't happened until now, and what a time for it to happen.
00:24The number one contender for the PWG Championship, Samoa Joe, the Island Warrior, taking on the phenomenal A.J. Stark.
00:35And an interesting side note, as if this cat wasn't big enough on a challenge, an interesting side note is that a PWG ring, both of these games have never been spent in a PWG ring.
00:47And Joe's losses have been by countenance and his qualifications.
00:53So, we're two of the hardest things.
00:56There's quite a bit on the line.
00:58Obviously Samoa Joe has wrestled more matches in PWG than A.J. Styles, but A.J. Styles, his one loss in PWG came in the freeway between himself, Frank Kazarian, and Christopher Daniels for the PWG Championship.
01:11And we find A.J. Styles again going for the PWG Championship again. This time, he's got an even bigger roadblock to go through with Samoa Joe.
01:20And a huge roadblock it is.
01:22And look at this, A.J. Styles is trying to go, or Samoa Joe, I should say, is trying to go toe for toe, or hole for hole, toe for toe with A.J. Styles on the ground.
01:32And they'd be interested to see if A.J. Styles wants to fight a stand-up battle with Samoa Joe.
01:39And riding him and trying to get the upper hand, but stay on top.
01:44Look at this, this is just a grappling contest.
01:47Each man trying to come away with the advantage, but neither successfully doing so.
01:52Well, maybe A.J. Styles getting a bit frustrated on leaving, but maybe surprised by the ability on the ground of Samoa Joe.
01:59I would have to say, trying to mount Joe and get the offense on him would be similar to mounting, trying to get control of him.
02:09Trying to lay on a mountain and try to get control of him.
02:12I think it'd be like trying to tame an elephant. A wild elephant.
02:16You run just as great of a risk as getting trampled as you do getting gore.
02:22That's right. And you don't want to make a wrong move.
02:24That's very true. But A.J. Styles making all the right moves so far as he's got her, at this point, getting Samoa Joe and a squish.
02:31Oh, whoa.
02:32Trying to shoulder tackle him, but Samoa Joe will have none of that saying, much like Dikembe will tumble.
02:40No.
02:41Whoa, look at that.
02:42A.J. Styles up and over. Now Samoa Joe on the receiving end of the front kick. A.J. Styles taking the big man off his feet.
02:50Laying him out on A.J. Styles in control of this match.
02:55Now.
02:56Oh.
02:57He picks him up.
02:58No.
02:59He's going flat.
03:00Oh, my God.
03:01He's got him.
03:02Oh, my God. A.J. Styles body slam Samoa Joe.
03:05That is a victory in and of itself.
03:07And now driving the knee across the wide nose of Samoa Joe.
03:12And now he covers him without even a one count.
03:16Samoa Joe able to kick out.
03:18It'll take more than a body slam to put away Samoa Joe.
03:21I think almost anybody could tell you that.
03:23Well, A.J. Styles, now go for a suplex on Samoa Joe.
03:27Talk about greedy.
03:29You know, he just got the body slam on him.
03:31Oh, my God.
03:32He does.
03:33A.J. Styles.
03:34A powerhouse.
03:35I mean, you know, he's well-toned.
03:39He's an A-shaped guy, but who knew that he could pick up this wild elephant Samoa Joe.
03:46It's like picking up a giant tiki statue and throwing it across the island of Poggle Poggle.
03:52A.J. Styles may have been on Easter Island and threw those tiki monuments up.
03:58Oh, my God.
03:59A backbreaker.
04:00A backbreaker.
04:01But what effect does it have on the outstretched knee of A.J. Styles?
04:06This is an unbelievable disco machine.
04:08Can you remember at any point in your career as a commentator in PWG that you've seen a man just have his way with A.J.
04:19A.J. Styles is right now.
04:20This is unbelievable.
04:21And now.
04:22And Samoa Joe putting on the brakes preventing A.J. Styles from shooting him for the rough.
04:31A.J. Styles fires in with an elbow.
04:32Now Samoa Joe reverses.
04:33And elbow of his own just rocks.
04:34A.J. Styles.
04:35A.J. Styles leap frogs over.
04:36And he drops down under the leg.
04:38Now going for the dropkick.
04:40Oh.
04:41Going for a Frankensteiner because he flanks himself on his neck.
04:46Samoa Joe with a stutter step, just faking AJ Styles out.
04:50And now catching Samoa Joe in a Huracan Rana, taking him off of his feet.
04:54And Samoa Joe thrown out of the ring.
04:57And now AJ Styles going for the ropes, coming up and over.
05:02Booting's off, Samoa Joe kicking AJ Styles in the shins,
05:07taking him off of his feet as he stood on the ring apron.
05:10And Samoa Joe just deadly with those kicks and punches that he's so well known for.
05:17And with good reason.
05:18AJ Styles coming down at a very dangerous angle.
05:22It's hard to say if he hit his head or hit his shoulder or hit his back.
05:26However he landed it was not pretty.
05:28It was not pretty at all.
05:30And now Samoa Joe rolling AJ Styles back into the ring.
05:34And now Samoa Joe, he is in control of this match.
05:39He has AJ Styles at his mercy.
05:42And now a shot to the chest of AJ Styles.
05:45And you can see AJ Styles leaning against the ropes,
05:48trying his best to avoid any further punishment like that from Samoa Joe.
05:54But Samoa Joe continues on, dropping the knee right across the chest and runs from AJ Styles.
05:59You can see AJ Styles is bleeding from brass right there at this guy.
06:03But Samoa Joe a little slow to cover.
06:06Almost like saying like, hey, you know, I'm okay.
06:09You know, I took all that punishment before.
06:11But, you know, I'm still back in shape.
06:12Maybe thinking of AJ Styles as almost a one-dimensional wrestler.
06:16You know, we all know the high-flying AJ Styles as you can see on TNA Wrestling.
06:21But, you know, the powerhouse side of AJ Styles coming out, you know,
06:26shows that he's got more than one dimension.
06:28But maybe he's just not impressed Samoa Joe.
06:30I don't know, and now a modified side-hiding leg.
06:38As AJ Styles fighting out of it and head-butting Samoa Joe is a short head-butt to the eye side.
06:44And now an elbow to the jaw and a shot across the chest of AJ Styles.
06:49Now Styles running into the ropes.
06:50And weeps out AJ Styles at length, at the knee.
06:54Just cutting off whatever AJ Styles looks like.
06:58And now Samoa Joe twisting him over, going for that half grab.
07:02Oh, oh, he's sitting in the half grab, but he's got his knee right across the neck of AJ Styles.
07:09A very, very painful maneuver.
07:11Just laying in punishment on AJ Styles, just trying to force him to submit.
07:17Now holding on, trying to inflict as much damage as possible
07:21before referee Patrick Hernandez forces him to break up the hold.
07:25And now Samoa Joe, again in firm control of the match, fires in with another elbow.
07:31AJ just sinking from those elbows.
07:33I mean, those elbows are brutal.
07:36They can just put you out of the match with a blink of the eye.
07:40And now AJ Styles on the receiving end of a running knee to the corner from Samoa Joe.
07:44Now, now the bootstraps, those sliding kicks, and Joe running out the corner.
07:51And again, diving bootstraps right across the face of AJ Styles.
07:57That pretty face ain't pretty no more.
07:59Ain't pretty no more, you know, y'all.
08:03It's an AJ Styles.
08:05Unfortunately, AJ Styles took it, so yeah.
08:08You'd be saying, right there.
08:09You'd be saying, right there.
08:10You'd be saying, right there.
08:10You'd be saying, right there.
08:11You'd be saying, right there.
08:11You'd be saying, right there.
08:11I like mushrooms.
08:13Or Dumb Donald.
08:15I love Dumb Donald.
08:17Now AJ Styles trying to get back up to his feet, but Samoa Joe just relentlessly attacking him.
08:23Those knees to the chest.
08:25A second knee.
08:27Now running off the ropes is Samoa Joe.
08:29Oh!
08:30A boot to the face sending AJ Styles out of the ring, onto the mat at ringside,
08:39or maybe onto the parquet floor at ringside.
08:42Unceremoniously kicked to the floor.
08:45You know what?
08:46I would not want to be kicked to the floor.
08:48Let alone be kicked to the mat.
08:49Ceremoniously.
08:50Ceremoniously.
08:51But by Samoa Joe.
08:53Oh, God.
08:54No.
08:54Not a chance.
08:55Indeed.
08:56And now AJ Styles trying to mount some sort of offensive on the outside, but Samoa Joe
09:00will have none of it.
09:01Just booting AJ Styles and sending him back into the ring.
09:04And you can see AJ Styles just worse for wear after that attack from Samoa Joe and just
09:10being thrown back into the fray, but not allowing Samoa Joe to cover him.
09:15And AJ Styles, you know, he knows in the ring is where he's going to get beat.
09:20And if he can catch his breath, if he can prevent Joe from furthering any damage or furthering
09:27any attack, but maybe he can as Samoa Joe just rushes him with those punches and slaps
09:34and then a need to punctuate it all.
09:38Unbelievable.
09:39Look how calculated Joe is.
09:40And now calling shot, calling for the crowd to get behind him and pushing, just trying
09:46to shoot AJ Styles to the ropes, but a shock thundering throughout the JCC.
09:51And now those kicks to the chest and back of AJ Styles.
09:55Now, AJ just was stomped by Samoa Joe.
10:00Joe almost standing on AJ Styles' back.
10:02And it doesn't feel good when, you know, when an 80-pound Asian masseuse stands on your
10:07back or a 300-pound Samoan.
10:09One you pay for, one you don't want to definitely...
10:14You pay for each in different ways.
10:17Absolutely.
10:18AJ Styles may be paying for a visit to a chiropractor after this.
10:22And now Samoa Joe going for a German suplex, but AJ Styles going down as low as he possibly
10:29can to prevent the German suplex from Samoa Joe.
10:31And now he's got him in the go-behind.
10:33He rolls him up.
10:34Oh, my God.
10:35He's got him hooked.
10:36And now Samoa Joe catches another rear naked choke after AJ Styles tried to jackknife him.
10:44But no, AJ Styles is in a very, very bad way here as Samoa Joe has him in the rear naked choke.
10:51Luckily, he could scramble to the ropes, forcing Samoa Joe to break it up.
10:56You know, earlier in the match, we saw a body slam on Samoa Joe.
11:00We saw the backbreaker on Samoa Joe.
11:02Have you ever seen anybody roll up Samoa Joe?
11:05That's very true.
11:06That's very true.
11:06But you know what?
11:07This is going to be true.
11:07We may have seen the end of powerhouse AJ Styles, and we may be seeing the start of desperation AJ Styles
11:14if Joe can just, if Joe will just keep those tender-like attacks on him, those punches and chops to the face.
11:21And now AJ, well, there we see the window of opportunity presents itself.
11:25AJ Styles, he's got to hold the end of the race first, and he's seen.
11:28And now AJ Styles, he doesn't need to impress the crowd anymore with those powerhouse moves.
11:34He needs to win this match.
11:35He needs to press the attack on Samoa Joe.
11:38He needs to do all he can to take Samoa Joe out of this match.
11:44You can see Joe, his eyes are big glazed over, and he's not quite focusing on anything as he's getting back up to his feet.
11:56As AJ Styles delivering punches and chops, punches and chops, driving Samoa Joe back to the ropes.
12:03And now AJ Styles shooting Samoa Joe across the ring.
12:06He comes charging in, running, close line, taking Samoa Joe off his feet.
12:13Samoa Joe sinking to the ground, and AJ Styles is back in control of this match.
12:21Now AJ Styles flipping Samoa Joe in.
12:24Could he be going for it again?
12:27Samoa Joe has to hold SGO.
12:29Good night, Gracie.
12:31He's got him.
12:32No way.
12:33Two, and AJ Styles grabs the ropes.
12:38What ring generalship by AJ Styles.
12:41Now Samoa Joe, he sees his target on the outside.
12:45He focuses in.
12:46Elbow suicida.
12:48Taking out AJ Styles and about 30 fans with that elbow suicida.
12:54Knocking AJ Styles all the way out to Bates Avenue.
12:57Oh, God.
12:58Those fans paid right before they...
13:00Okay, so 30 fans were killed in that melee.
13:04We still got their money.
13:05The melee, yes.
13:06Okay, so it works out for us.
13:07It does.
13:08It works out in the end, but you know what?
13:10They won't be returning tomorrow night for a night two.
13:12And they won't be getting these DVDs.
13:14Oh, we've lost so much money in that drink.
13:16But you know what?
13:18It's all worth it because when people hear that Samoa Joe killed 30 people with a tope,
13:24they will...
13:25This will rise to faces of death-level sales.
13:30What?
13:31Phenomenal.
13:32Samoa Joe, do you think you can find me that prosthetic hip you've been asking about for so long?
13:38I put it in their order.
13:39But wait a second.
13:40AJ Styles breaking out.
13:42What?
13:43AJ Styles going to his reserves just to maybe try to send a message to Samoa Joe.
13:49Samoa Joe at SamoaJoe.com saying, hey, I'm not out of it quite yet.
13:54And Joe is very slow to get back up to his feet after landing quite hard on the parquet floor.
14:02After that elbow suicida.
14:04Oh, my God.
14:06And now AJ Styles really works for where is it?
14:10Samoa Joe, he's got him.
14:11He's got him picked up.
14:12Maybe going for a Death Valley driver.
14:14But AJ Styles fights his way out of it, kneeing Joe to the head.
14:18But Joe just a slap to the face.
14:20AJ Styles, he slipped.
14:22Oh, he clips out the knee of Samoa Joe.
14:25He slipped, but he recovered in time to just give a diving attack to the knee to the big man.
14:31And a diving dropkick delivered to the face of Samoa Joe.
14:37What a savage attack by AJ Styles.
14:40He recovered, but he had the, I mean, he slipped, but he had the presence of mind to recover.
14:44And just elbow Samoa Joe in the knee and just rod kicking him in the face.
14:51Even Samoa Joe has to be rattled after that.
14:54How do you get hit by a buzz and then come back and do what AJ Styles just did?
15:00It's true testament.
15:00No wonder he slipped.
15:02Oh, my God.
15:03And now these men exchanging elbows in the center of the ring.
15:07Samoa Joe makes the flying leg variant from AJ Styles.
15:14One, two, two count.
15:16And Samoa Joe able to kick out.
15:18You can tell, Disco Machine, that those elbows Samoa Joe was delivering didn't really have the force behind him.
15:24And I put the blame solely on that elbow from AJ Styles to the knee of Samoa Joe.
15:30I would have to agree.
15:31And now, an elbow.
15:33Another, another in a series of elbows from AJ Styles.
15:37Oh, power slam.
15:39Power slam, two.
15:40Two count only as AJ Styles able to kick out.
15:43Running Genton.
15:45And again, one, two.
15:48Two count again.
15:49AJ Styles able to kick out.
15:51I believe Samoa Joe is in as much disbelief as the fans at ringside.
15:57How is AJ Styles able to continually kick out of Samoa Joe's attack, Disco?
16:04That is unbelievable.
16:05And just when he's got AJ Styles, he's fighting back.
16:08Samoa Joe hits that wicked power slam.
16:11And now whipping AJ Styles in.
16:13Running off the ropes, going for the clothesline.
16:15AJ Styles reverses.
16:17Discus Lariat.
16:18Danking him off his feet.
16:19He beat Rocky Romero with us a year ago.
16:22One, two.
16:23Two count as Samoa Joe able to kick out.
16:27AJ Styles has finished many, many a men with that Discus Lariat.
16:33But Samoa Joe somehow able to kick out of it.
16:37And now Samoa Joe getting back up to his feet.
16:42AJ Styles reaches his feet first.
16:44And now going for the Discus Lariat again.
16:46He rolls through with a Sunset Clip.
16:49He's got hooked up.
16:50Disco Machine.
16:51He was going for the Styles Clash.
16:54But no.
16:55Oh!
16:57Samoa Joe.
16:58One, two.
17:00Double down.
17:02Oh my God.
17:03What an unbelievable kick out by AJ Styles.
17:08Disco Machine.
17:09My head is hurting from that clothesline.
17:14I can't believe what AJ Styles is feeling.
17:17Power bump.
17:18He sends us down.
17:20Two count.
17:21AJ kicks out.
17:22But Samoa Joe pulls over into the STF.
17:25And now AJ Styles.
17:27He's facing it in the wrong direction.
17:31Samoa Joe has the STF locked in.
17:33What could possibly happen to Samoa Joe?
17:36This match has to be all but over with.
17:39Oh my God.
17:39And Joe now really sinking in.
17:42Pulling up that head.
17:43Joe, he let go of the leg lock.
17:46Now just a face lock.
17:48And ranking back on AJ Styles.
17:50Disco.
17:50How does AJ Styles get hit with that Lariat?
17:54And his head bouncing off the mat.
17:56Unbelievable.
17:57And he gets to the rope.
17:58He gets to the rope.
17:59Referee Patrick Hernandez calling for the break.
18:02That was the only thing that saved AJ Styles.
18:05I do not believe at this point in the match.
18:08Disco machine that AJ Styles could have escaped from that hole to drop the rope.
18:12There's not a chance.
18:14And Joe looks a little frustrated.
18:15He's thrown everything at him.
18:17He's thrown everything at everything but the kitchen sink.
18:20And he may have thrown the kitchen sink at him.
18:22I wouldn't really keep him trapped.
18:23But now just those dickish kicks to the head and face of AJ Styles.
18:28And now going for a second close line.
18:31The back flip kick in Dave the Giant.
18:35Samoa Joe fighting to stay up on a vertical base.
18:39Fighting to keep his feet.
18:41But AJ Styles is back in this.
18:43Oh my God.
18:43He's got him hooked up in the torture rack disco machine.
18:47He's got him in the torture rack.
18:50This is unbelievable.
18:52The power bomb from the torture rack.
18:55Don't go.
18:56Holy.
18:57Oh, it's Joe.
18:58Able to kick out of the torture rack power bomb disco.
19:02Oh, God.
19:04I have not seen a beat of shrimp like this since Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3 disco.
19:13This is a happening.
19:14This is all-star weekend.
19:16This is an occurrence in the world of professional wrestling as AJ Styles decides logic and physics
19:25to pick up Samoa Joe in that torture rack and just dropping him down into the power bomb.
19:33Now the furious kicks and punches from AJ Styles.
19:38And now Samoa Joe with the furious kicks and punches of his own.
19:42And now going for the palm strike.
19:44The guy's like, it's an injury taking Samoa Joe off of his feet.
19:49I cannot believe it's just going to cheat.
19:51These men are playing tooth and nail for the number one contendership here at PWD.
19:58The shot at Super Dragon and the PWD Championship is on the line tomorrow night for the winner of this match.
20:07And these two men are just giving it their all.
20:11What will they have left for tomorrow?
20:13Both of these men have laid it all on the line.
20:16Left it all in the ring.
20:17And now AJ Styles on the outside could be going to the top.
20:21Yes, he is.
20:22AJ Styles going very, very slowly.
20:25And Samoa Joe looks like he's going to catch the ball.
20:27But AJ Styles had the presence of mind to get down with a white-footed roundhouse to the head of Samoa Joe.
20:35AJ Styles very slowly getting up to the top.
20:38And now Samoa Joe sweeps out the foot of AJ Styles going for the muscle buster.
20:45We've seen him pin many an opponent with the muscle buster before.
20:48He's got him hooked in.
20:50And now AJ Styles reverses.
20:52He rolls him through.
20:53He's got him two counts.
20:54Samoa Joe kicks out.
20:55He's got him hooked in.
20:57Style Slash.
20:58Style Slash is on the team.
20:59He's got him hooked.
21:00One, two, three.
21:02AJ Styles.
