Disc #1: PWG ELEVEN

Event : PWG "Eleven"  Arena : Americam Legion Post #308, Reseada, CA Date : July 26, 2014 Run Time : 3 hours Commentary team : Excalibur with Roderick Strong/Chris Hero/Kevin Steen  Welcome to the first entry in #TheBinder series!

But we'll get there. It'll probably take years but my intention is to see this all the way through to the very end.
