PCW Ultra are back in Wilmington, California to celebrate their fourth anniversary and as usual, they’ve pulled out all the stops bringing talent in from far and wide. Most immediately notable to me are MLW’s Hammerstone taking on living lucha legend Muertes as well as Killer Kross vs. Chris Masters, which is not a match I would have ever thought to want, but one that piques my interest all the same.

As always...

Remember folks, no matter what type of wrestling you like, no matter how down you feel about the state of WWE, Impact, ROH, or any other “big-time” pro wrestling, there’s something out there for you. There’s a pro wrestling product that can hit you in the right spot and make you love wrestling like you thought you’d never be able to love it again. It’s there, I promise. You just gotta reach out and find it, and that, my friends, is what the Sermon on the Mat is all about.
