Considering the women's tournament, not a surprise...wouldn't be surprised if more than one was a woman since there was only about 4 guys on the show we didn't have cards for I believe.
Anyways, great news as always and hope it was a good show.

I just got home a few minutes ago.
This was my first XPW show but it won't be my last and from the sounds of it they are going to keep doing at least most of their future shows in SoCal (XPW's first show back last year was in Rochester and they found out they could not use glass there due to the rules of New York -which is also why there were no deathmatches on last weekend's GCW show in New York City) but in SoCal it is up to the venue (same here in Las Vegas and many other places) to decide.
I really liked tonight's venue which was a bar in Pomona. Pomona is at least an hour closer to Las Vegas than downtown Los Angeles where PWG runs and thus 2 hours total less driving time and 2 hours less gas. The venue also has incredible food options (you can go inside and order from the bar or the bar will even deliver to your seat) and it is outside at the back of the bar in perfect California June weather.
I guess my only complaint about the venue was the "balcony seating" as this "balcony" was only about 4 feet off the ground so it was more like a deck and that is important because you don't get the optimal view of looking down at the ring as the words "balcony seating" on the purchased ticket implies. I ended up just sitting closer to the ring with a friend who saved me a better seat.
The staff and most of the fans were cool at tonight's show but there were a few fans who did stupid things. For example, during the main event which was an extremely violent deathmatch between Big F'N Joe and SHLAK (some of the most forceful lighttube smashes I have ever seen live,) as the action spilled into a brawl outside of the ring, one fan actually thought it would be a good idea to jump the guardrail and grab a chair and act like he was about to hit SHLAK and Big F'N Joe. Big F'N Joe was not amused and went after the fan who was fortunate that security got to him first and they led the fan away as the match continued. Also, during that brawl outside of the ring, some chairs got smashed with blood smeared all over them and after the show some fans actually grabbed some of these chairs and ran off. I don't get the appeal of having a stolen wrecked chair covered in blood.
As I mentioned on this thread earlier, I did make 4 signings for the game at this show tonight and at least 1 of those 4 was a woman. When I talked to one woman about being in the game she liked the cards and then asked me if I could watch her merch table while she went to the bathroom and she said when she returned she would sign the release form. She whispered "don't leave!" and I told her I was not going anywhere. I watched her stuff and she returned a few minutes later and then signed the form. When I sign a wrestler, I always ask them to write their Email on the release form for contact purposes (for going over moves, etc) because sometimes that contact information is not always available online. She gave me her Email and she also asked me if I wanted her phone number which I got too and I already passed that information on to Ty so he hopefully won't have any problem getting ahold of her when it comes time to do her card. I hope she is in the next womens set because she is awesome. I took a photo with her which I will post once her name is announced.
Unfortunately, I did not get to meet Deonna Purrazzo tonight (I think she left early as she lost the opening match which was a first-round tournament match to Kamille and I did not see Purrazzo either at Intermission or after the show) because I was hoping to get my copy of her card autographed. But overall this show was alot of fun. Sam Shaw (who carried off Kamille during the 4-way womens ladder match) showed up and John Morrison was also in attendance as his wife Taya Valkyrie was there and she even won the XPW Womens Title tonight in the ladder match.
This was Show #35 for me in 2022. Shows #36 and #37 will be next weekend when I go to Money in the Bank here in Las Vegas on Saturday and then to PWG in Los Angeles on Sunday. XPW did announce their next show will be on August 13th back in Pomona, not sure if I can go or not to that particular show but I will definitely go to XPW again soon.

So many possibilities for signings. I'm gonna guess (and wishful thinking) either Kamille or Sage Sin as the person you described.
Would love to see Big Joe, Kamille, Sage Sin and Lindsay Snow be the 4 signings tho dunno how Kamille works being NWA talent

After watching the show last night, and Vegas mentioning getting four signings, I got to thinking. There were some death matches, so some of those guys were probably signed. The women's tournament was excellent (they all did great) and had some death match stuff in it as well. So I say we need another Best of the Indies Deathmatch set. On top of that, I want to see some women with deathmatch stats. There are enough of them out there (signed or unsigned) to make a set.
