This was just an amazing card from start to finish with only one match on the undercard falling flat.<\/p>\n<p>Top matches include an impromptu main event with Kyle O\u2019Reilly putting up the PWG World Title against Roderick Strong in a Guerrilla Warfare match (****1\/2), PWG Champion Kyle O\u2019Reilly vs. Ricochet (****), The Young Bucks vs. Sabin &amp; Sydal (****1\/4), Cage vs. Ciampa vs. Nation vs. Busick (****), and Lee vs. Hero (****).<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase PWG\u2019s \u201cBlack Cole Sun\u201d DVD by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.highspots.com\/p\/pwg-bcs.html\">HERE<\/a> or by visiting Highspots.com.

The match that makes this card stick out is PWG World Champion Roderick Strong defending his title against Zack Sabre Jr,, who is one of the most incredible technical wrestlers in the world. They had a brutal hard-hitting back and forth match that is well-worth going out of your way to check out (****1\/2).<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the card was a ton of fun.

Purchasing both nights on DVDs is recommended in this case. I won\u2019t get into spoilers here, but night 1 did a great job of setting the table for night 2. Highlights of the first round included Ciampa-Konley, Moose-Ricochet, and Lee-Donst in opening round tournament action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.highspots.com\/p\/pwx_090515.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4095\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2015\/11\/unnamed-8.jpg\" alt=\"PWX X16\" width=\"359\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second night picks up nicely with the rest of the X16 Tournament playing out.

It\u2019s not often you get to experience life on the road with big name indie wrestlers, but \u201cThe Young Bucks Too Sweet Journey\u201d captures life on the road in the same way that Colt Cabana\u2019s \u201cWrestling Road Diaries\u201d documentaries did.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.highspots.com\/p\/yb-doc.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4096\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2015\/11\/unnamed-9.jpg\" alt=\"unnamed (9)\" width=\"274\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Young Bucks are engaging to listen to as they talk about the rise of their career, but it\u2019s the testimony from their wives and parents that really hits home when it comes to realizing just how hard the wrestling lifestyles is on them. The behind the scenes footage of The Young Bucks vs. Hardy Boyz match in NEW is fantastic as well. Not many documentaries give you this level of inside access and insight. Listening to the Young Bucks talk about signing with a company during that time is especially interesting now given that they\u2019ve signed a contract with ROH and NJPW. Don\u2019t forget to check out the bonus disc as well, as there\u2019s some great stuff on there that didn\u2019t make the main documentary including comments from Kevin Gill, Kevin Steen, and Brian Kendrick. Steen\u2019s story about Rob Feinstein is tremendous. I give this documentary my highest recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase \u201cThe Young Bucks Too Sweet Journey\u201d on DVD by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.highspots.com\/p\/yb-doc.html\">HERE<\/a> or by visiting Highspots.com.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>&#8220;Wake Up Time to Die with Sex Ferguson\u201d (9.5)<\/strong> &#8211; Wake Up Time to Die with Sex Ferguson didn\u2019t make my the cut in my Black Friday guide last year, as I got around to watching it late in the year, but it is one of the most hilarious charter driven interviews I\u2019ve ever seen with Luke Gallows delivering a performance for the ages as a guest on Cliff Compton\u2019s regular interview series on Highspots.com.<\/p>\n<p>This is a must-see interview in my opinion. It\u2019s one of the most hilarious character driven interviews I\u2019ve ever seen. Luke Gallows was fantastic from start to finish with his quick timing and ability to bounce off Freight Train and Compton. I found myself laughing almost to the point of tears several times at Ferguson\u2019s stories and Compton\u2019s reactions to them. The segments with the out of shape trainee are hilarious as well, as Ferguson gave him tips in and out of the ring that were ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>I usually don\u2019t watch an interview more than once, but it\u2019s safe to say this is one of those DVDs that I have watched more than once. The entire interview builds up to a series of gut busting moments from start to finish.
