Pacific Coast Wrestling announced that their past shows are available for streaming on Amazon. PCW has been working on getting their shows on there for over six months in what proved to be a very tedious process to get approval. The shows are priced at $2.99 for a 7 day rental and $9.99 to purchase. Their most recent show, Fantasm, is not available yet. DVDs of their 2016 shows are also available, with blu-rays coming shortly. To find the shows on the streaming service, search “PCW” and the show title. PCW has a page with links to all of the shows at http://www.pacificcoastwrestling.com/amazon.html. I will have a review of the service up within a day or so as well.
