I thought it was a great show, and a fantastic build up to Living A Legacy.
I think one of the few criticism I could have had for recent shows is a lack of segs, but this show made good use of them and it flowed much better as a result.
It's good to see some of the new names in PCW getting a foothold now. Dontevius Ellis picking up a win will give him great early momentum, Brenna picked up a truly great win against the person I'd personally backed to go all the way in the Icey. It's really proved to be the most open IIT in years and with Brenna blazing a trail through the competition she's got just as much chance as anyone of winning it now.
Similarly, although I know I really shouldn't be, Dan Fierce has surprised me greatly with his success. Another win, another step toward a World Title shot. I saw him initially as a mere side-character of Dan's but he's really stepped up and has two extremely high quality characters, both getting great matches too.
The Saniti/Murdoc match legitimately made me cringe (in a good way). The hatpin straight through Murdoc's knuckle... holy SHITBALLS. Way to make me NOPE the fuck out, whoever wrote that match.
Andy certainly hasn't missed a step since coming back. The Last Chance Battle Royal is one thing, but back in singles competition he showed why he's a former world champion and he'll be a force to watch out for again soon.
It was a shame to see the no-show from Kaard in the main event, but real life happens. Still the interference from Grimm was (while inevitable, given his absence from the crowd) great and made good sense. Of course I'm disappointed not to come out on top, but Showtime's a former world champ for a reason, congrats to him on a well earned win.
Majors is rivalling Terry Funk for swerved retirements at this point. The dude can't help himself. Just give him a chainsaw and a gross goatee and he'll be a dead ringer. He's just about as crazy too, poking the Darkness bear... who else would do something silly like that?

Alrighty, so first of all, this was a particularly violent Trauma…which when you consider PCW standards, that’s really saying something. And that’s including all the segments these results had, which were not only bloody but also pretty involved, what with NCM vs. The Darkness and Saniti’s weirdo tormenters and Rick Majors, etc., etc. Between NCM and Rick Majors, The Darkness is going to be pretty busy.
Let’s see…the recent crop of newcomers are really showing their mettle from the get-go. It’s safe to say the Underground title is only the beginning for Brenna Gordon, and the rest have made some strong showings.
Our mules are good when dealing with no-shows, and this card was no exception. Though, I must admit I’m confused as to why Jury won via DQ, but I’m confident that was discussed backstage. The Main Event wasn’t quite as epic as we’d anticipated, but the writers made lemonade out of lemons and gave us a good solid match none the less.
A hat pin-in-the-hand was certainly a different way to handle Murdoc’s loss (or is that Saniti’s gain?), but it worked.
All in all, 192 was another set of solid work and a great lead-in to Living a Legacy.
