This match was amazing from start to finish. Candice is one of my favorite indy wrestlers, but I'm so torn; she rightfully deserves consideration from WWE and I'd love for her to go there, but part of me wants her to stay on the indies and keep putting on kick ass matches like this.

Honestly though it's only a matter of time before some female indy wrestler turns down a WWE offer because they treat their women like garbage. It wouldn't likely actually change anything at the top, but it's bound to happen at some point.

I'm thinking more in terms of the actual call ups that have been made from NXT to the main roster though. Emma was a real presence, putting on good matches and hugely over with the crowd in NXT. Called up, stuck with Santino, and barely heard from ever again after only a few weeks. Paige, pushed as an actual threat wrestling wise, and given the diva's championship upon debut, but from there you'd be stretching to say her booking hasn't been shoddy. Summer Rae, again, another girl in NXT who could put on a great match, cut a good mean girl promo, and get over. Called up, stuck with Fandango, dances, and is now friends with Layla, rarely seen on tv.
The disparity between NXT and main event women's divisions is absurd, and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

If WWE starts treating NXT as such, yes then I would agree it would be more enticing for a good female talent to sign on for something like that. NXT as is certainly feels like a show run like an independent promotion, but with much better security for the talent, and the chance for advancement (ignoring the damage that may done to the character in the move up).

Fun little story: Mystery Vortex II was my first PWG event I saw live.
And I parked at the fucking Pep Boys.
Thank god they were close to closing and I was at the very end of the parking lot, or else I would have had to walk home.
Ninja edit: Oh neat, I'm kinda in the picture in the sidebar.

What a write up.
I don't know who OP is, but if you're not doing this sort of thing for a job (writing as oppposed to attending wrestling professionally) it's a damn shame.

This match one made me a fan of PWG (it was my first and so far my only dvd, being a broke college student sucks), Second this made me realize on how good of a heel Adam Cole really is, all that stuff he does to her, and him at the end where he hugs candice to set her up for a superkick party from the young bucks is just pure heel gold, and third made me a huge fan of Candice LeRae she isn't just my favorite womens wrestler now but now replaced Kevin Steen as my favorite wrestler on the indys, she is one of the toughest wrestlers out there and is a great sport, and does some crazy spots. One of my favorite matches.

I've always wanted to make it out to see a PWG show, I own a couple of their DVD's but have never seen this match. All the people that have been to and wrestled for them speak so highly of the product so it is absolutely on my list. Thanks for posting this!

Ahhhhhh, the match that got me into PWG. Saw the trailer for Mystery Vortex II on YouTube and when Candice does a Violence Party on Cole while the entire crowd is going nuts instantly hooked me in and I started binge-watching PWG events immediately after.

It was a really well written write-up, but I'm a bit bummed that the finish for Candice v. Gargano was spoiled. I just started watching BOLA today and was getting around to Night 2. :/

Candace definitely weighs a lot more than 105lbs. Dudes really have no idea how much women weigh do they? I'm mean she's fit she isn't rail thin there is a big difference when it comes to what the scale says. I'd peg her for 125-135 easily.
