It was in a shitty bingo hall with room for 150-200 people, but despite that, it was well worth the $20 I paid for admission.....and that was for the front row.
Unfortunately, the front row isn't really the most comfortable. I got kicked in the head by Brian Kendrick and Colt Cabana's (was Scotty Goldman for a brief time on Smackdown) big ass almost landed on me.
Basically, the BOLA is a tournament, which is something I've always loved (too bad WWE took away King of the Ring). This tournament was even more important since the PWG title was vacated by the WWE-bound Bryan Danielson. Basically at the end of the tournament, Kenny Omega became champion (insanely good wrestler....he kicked me too by the way lol). And the two tag matches they had were the best that I have ever seen. It was amazing.
But just the heart those guys all have performing for just 200 people in a shitty bingo hall in a ring that is falling apart for just a fraction of what WWE wrestlers make, was unbelievable. A lot of ex-WWE and TNA wrestlers were there: Brian Kendrick, Austin Starr, Alex Shelley, etc.
The worst wrestler in PWG (they were all great tonight by the way) would shit all over up-and-comers like Miz, Kofi and Jack Swagger. Even PWG alumni like Evan Bourne and CM Punk have dumed down their matches and I'm sure they used to be awesome too.
Here's the Battle of Los Angeles website: http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/2009BOLA/
If you have a really good indy promotion in your area, GO SEE IT. It will shit all over WWE. The only thing WWE has are state-of-the-art arenas, fancy props, and fireworks.

the wwe tells everyone of its workers to take it back a few notches. from a business standpoint it makes perfect sense..i wouldnt want one of wrestlers who draws and sells to get hurt doing an "indy move". when tna blows up they will slow it down too.

They run shows all around the Northeast, I've gone to 3 events in the last couple of years. The atmosphere of the events is crazy, it's a very close feel to the old ECW. The vibe is something different, and like Sik pointed out, the quality is much better than today's current WWE product. Some of the shit these guys do is mind blowing compared to the paint by numbers stuff you see in WWE and even TNA for that matter.

Yeah, I'm gonna start getting into ROH. Most of the guys at the show I went to last night were ROH guys. One guy even had his ROH title with him.
