YMMV / Pro Wrestling Guerilla

Go To

  • Broken Base: More of a philosophical one that has sprung up over the years: PWG's emphasis on workrate over everything is both very commendable but somewhat controversial among fans: While obviously PWG shows off a level of athleticism and talent that few shows could ever hope to reach, PWG has also received criticism for enabling No-Selling on the independent scene, and also catching some stink from commentators for their matches neglecting Wrestling Psychology.
  • Fandom Rivalry: Kevin Steen accidentally kicked one off when trying to sell the El Generico feud in ROH by praising PWG on the ROH message boards. PWG began to be seen as a healthy alternative to those who were turned off by the idea of ROH being owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
    • Things seem to be better now, in light of ROH's announcement in late 2015/early 2016 that they had entered an official talent-swapping agreement with PWG. For ROH, it was a way for their brand to get some better exposure from one of the most rabid and word-of-mouth savvy fanbases in the industry. For the PWG fans, this meant that they get to see some of their old favorites return to Reseda, including Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Not even in the top five among US promotions when it comes to drawing crowds, occasionally top six if you're generous, yet has a very strong international fan base and yes, that includes Germany.
