PWG BOLA night three results: The 2019 champion is crowned

Bandido, the crowd favorite and betting favorite, won PWG’s 2019 BOLA tournament in a three-way over Jonathan Gresham and David Starr.

Sunday’s night three was an amazing show in front of an electric crowd, coming across like PWG from a few years ago. The show built well and featured a variety of different styles. A number of names new to the promotion stood out and the show ended with a clear direction of Bandido facing Jeff Cobb once again for the PWG title in a program that has been around in some form for a year.

BOLA Round 2: Dragon Lee defeated Jake Atlas

Lee won after hitting a running knee. At this point, this was the consensus best match of the tournament, although it would be topped later. Atlas, who most thought had the best first round match with Jungle Boy, got a deafening reaction.

BOLA Round 2: Darby Allin defeated Pentagon Jr.

Allin pulled off an upset with a sunset bomb and a kneebar into a roll-up. This was another great match. Allin has improved a lot as far as coming across as a star as opposed to a guy who got over just based on taking insane bumps.

Orange Cassidy & Artemis Spencer & Caveman Ugg & Jungle Boy & Paris Da Silva defeated Tony Deppan & Lucky Kid & Mick Moretti * Kyle Fletcher & Black Taurus

This was a super entertaining match featuring a lot of great moves and a lot of preposterous antics. Even the big guys like Ugg and Taurus were flying around. Cassidy pinned Deppan after spitting orange juice in his face and rolling him up.
