Best WWE news I've heard in some time. I hope they really do leave. It's not like ANYONE would ever miss them. Those talentless morons don't know how good they have it... Seeing them fail on the indy scene will be funny as hell.

If Rocky Romero Vs. Danielson is half as good as their Inoki Dojo match it'll be one to remember. Williams Vs. Shelley should be amazing too...

Hmm... just skimming through that. It's really just about as bad as an AOL WWE mark chat. I'd rather shoot myself then enter one of those chats... Seriously I enjoy ROH's wrestlers and shows. It's just I really dislike ALOT of their fans and staff members. They come off like such annoying jerks and this just further proves it. umm.. awesome line up for 7/23 though.

My predictions: Homicide/Hart advance over Acid B-Boy/Strong advance over Rave Shelley/Quance advance over Ruckus Sonjay/Webb advance over Williams 2nd Round: Hart over Homicide B-Boy over Strong Shelley Over Quance (if all clicks this will be a MOTYC) Sonjay over Webb Semi: Hart over B-Boy Dutt over Shelley Finals: Sonjay over Hart Loser's 4-way: Acid Over Rave, Ruckus, Williams and chooses World Title match with Messiah next month. Gage Over Maff Hero over Hotstuff. Should be a hell of a show.

Yep it is the only place to buy the DVD, but well... they are now sold out of everything. From what I've heard they have said they will restock the old DVDs once they get caught up on the new DVDs (which could take awhile since they are now 4 shows behind) But however they did say "Watch for a major anouncement regarding Pro Wrestling Guerrilla DVD's in the next few weeks!" so... that could mean anything. Sorry I couldn't be of more help....

Sadly enough that IS the newest PWG show currently available. So I think they still have a deal with RF to sell the tapes.

Nah, that's not it. RF also sells PWG and Cabana is still working there. IMO like CM Punk and Chris Hero... Cabana will be back in IWA sometime in the future.

I don't get it, Why bring back MLW? The MLW brand name isn't exactly renowned for it's greatness or anything. Be better off just starting a new fed.

I 3rd that request. This should be in the classics...

I love this card, this could really be the show of the year. Every match should be outstanding... But oddly enough the matches I'm most looking forward to seeing are pure SoCal: Joey Ryan Vs. Scott Lost: Can't wait to see Scott Lost breakout as a heel. This will no doubt be the first chapter in what will be a feud to remember. Adam Pearce Vs. Frankie Kazarian: This one has insane amount of potential and could very well end up being an Old School classic. Just a shame that one of these amazing talents will be out of PWG after this one. Expect a long boring preview from me later...

IMO yes it is. But apon checking PWG's site... it appears that they are sold out of everything now. SO right now SMW is the only option for getting PWG shows.

I'm wrong but I really think it's Samoa Joe. He doesn't appear to be booked for PWG that day. Plus he's worked in Japan and The UK ("Other countries") and I think for Zero One on PPV. But Low-Ki Vs. Hero would be nice...

Haven't seen enough Chikara to comment but as for PWG.... All PWG shows are worth buying IMO but if I had to do a top 5 I'd say: The Musical (Note: it's not out yet... but should be very soon) Best Matches: American Dragon Vs. Samoa Joe, B-Boy Vs. Chris Daniels, Ricky Reyes Vs. Apolo Kahn, SBS Vs. Bosh/Silver. Tango and Cash Invitational Best Matches: SD/AD Vs. X-Foundation, SD/AD Vs. Excalibur/Jonny Storm, Punk/Hero Vs. Daniels/Messiah, Homicide/B-Boy Vs. Joe/Puma among many others "ARE YOU ADEQUATELY PREPARED TO ROCK?!" Best Matches: AJ Styles Vs. Kazarian Vs. Daniels, B-Boy/SD Vs. Briscoe Brothers, Adam Pearce Vs. Joey Ryan An Inch Longer than avarage Best matches: American Dragon Vs. Frankie Kazarian, SD Vs. Joey Ryan - Guerrilla Warfare, CM Punk Vs. Samoa Joe, Pearce Vs. Cabana Taste of the Radness Best Matches: American Dragon Vs. Bobby Quance, Havana Pitbulls Vs. Iron Saints, SBS Vs. AXP/Bosh, Pearce Vs. Kazarian, X-Foundation Vs. B-Boy/Homicide. You can't really go wrong with any of the PWG shows... except maybe the Debut Show which isn't quite up to par with the rest of them.

"By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer Chinese Camp, CA - Much like America's favorite feline Garfield, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) is a big fan of lasagna, and the subject of a major motion picture. To celebrate the release of the new Tom Hanks feature "The Terminal," which is loosely based on PWG, we present "Rocktoberfest!!" on Saturday, June 19th at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge, which will function as the film's unofficial premiere. While we can't guarantee that the film will actually be shown at the event, we can guarantee a fantastic night of professional wrestling action, and a possible appearance by big time Hollywood star Tom Hanks! (It is plausible that Tom Hanks might buy a ticket to the show, isn't it?) PWG's "Rocktoberfest!!" will feature: Bobby Quance vs. Puma After the events of May's "44 Ways To Kill You With A Pimento," Commissioner Paul T created "Rocktoberfest!!" in some sort of perverse plot to further certain hatred and rivalries that exist in PWG! Despite unclear motives, Puma has seemingly aligned himself with the team of Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero, and Samoa Joe. There are many theories as to why this has occurred, but the simplest explanation (which is often the best) is that Bobby Quance is a huge fan of cookies, and Puma isn't! In fact, nothing disgusts him more than cookies, and therefore, these two men will battle not only for their pride, but who's culinary taste reigns supreme! Samoa Joe vs. B-Boy After his impressive victory over Scorpio Sky at "44 Ways...," B-Boy demanded a "main event level" match from Commissioner Paul T. Because Paul T is not accustomed to receiving threats and demands from the likes of B-Boy, he was taken aback and needed some time to think. After a game of Street Fighter II and some long division to clear his head, he did what any clear thinking Asian-American would have done, and decided to punish the "New Age Punisher" in the most sadistic way possible. Well, he could have killed him, or simply not put B-Boy on the show, but opted instead to make him face off with Samoa Joe, who many consider the most dangerous man in wrestling today. If B-Boy can defeat Samoa Joe, surely he would be in line for a title shot. If Samoa Joe comes out on top, B-Boy will be in line for months of intense physical therapy. CM Punk vs. Spanky Interoffice Memo From: T, Paul, Commissioner To: Staff, PWG Message: Hey, this s--t will rule, so we be puttin' it on the show. PWG Tag Team Title Match Super Dragon & Excalibur © vs. Scott Lost & Joey Ryan After defeating The Ballard Brothers and subsequently banishing them from Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, the X-Foundation find themselves one step from the top of the PWG Tag Team Division, however tag champions Super Dragon & Excalibur are not the biggest obstacles the X-Foundation need to overcome. Over the past few months, fans have witnessed the storybook romance of Scott Lost and Joey Ryan unravel before their eyes, but their relationship has endured long enough to climb the tag team ladder. Will the titles that so easily divided the X-Foundation be the promise ring that keeps them together, or the force that splits the up for good? Do Super Dragon & Excalibur care about the delicate nature of the X-Foundation's relationship, or are they just concerned with defending the PWG tag tiles a record 2nd time! Or just with seeing Garfield The Movie? Who knows! But you'll find out on June 19th! PWG Championship Match Adam Pearce © vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Babi Slymm vs. ??? Interoffice Memo From: T, Paul, Commissioner To: Staff, PWG Message: It is with great joy... I mean deep regret that I must announce that SoCal's own 9 foot lucha master, Hardkore Kidd, will be unable to attend the next PWG show. All my hatred aside, I wish him the best of luck in WWE, and I hope they are smart enough to bring El Jefe too. Now the rest of those three fools hate each other, so we gotta find somebody crazy enough to jump in there and take the title from Pearce. Plus Scorpio Sky, Quicksilver, Disco Machine, Top Gun Talwar, Chris Bosh, Charles Mercury, Sal & Vito Thomaselli, and Apollo Kahn are scheduled to appear! Also, watch for a major anouncement regarding Pro Wrestling Guerrilla DVD's in the next few weeks! Pro Wrestling Guerrilla "Rocktoberfest!!" takes place Saturday, June 19, 2004 at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge, at 8:00PM. The Santa Ana Elks Lodge is located at 212 S. Elk Lane, Santa Ana, CA 92701. Tickets are only $15 each, and will be available at the door. For more information, please visit http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com or email [email protected]. " Holy crap... this could be one the best PWG shows ever. Every match announced so far should be freaking amazing I tells ya.

This was a great show... maybe one of PWG's best efforts yet. Some short thoughts: 8-man opener was a great comedy match with some high flying thrown in for good measure. Good to see Phoenix Star and Lil Cholo back in PWG. After the match Disco and company challenged ANY 4-man squad to an 8-man tag match next show. Later in the show The AXP accepted the challenge. Tommy Williams (Formally Funky Billy Kim) Vs. Apollo Kahn was a good mat based match. FBK has really been improving lately now that he's involved with the Inoki Dojo. AXP Vs. Iron Saints was a good match with some great comedy thrown in. Ring announcer Jon Ian giving Sal/Vito's Paul Heyman looking manager a headlock actually got the pop of the night. Finish came after AXP hit their dropkick/piledriver finisher. Quance Vs. PUMA was a really good mostly ground based juniors match. Even if they spent the first half the match laughing at each other for some reason. Quance wins it after an SSP. I was kinda surprised to see Quance win this one.... Punk Vs. Corino: I was upset about Spanky pulling out, but I was very happy to see Steve Corino. He and Punk had an ok match that was really fun. Corino's nearly non stop talking to the fans was classic... "I thought you guys were supposed to be smart marks?" and such. - SBS Vs. X-Foundation Tag Title match was a near classic, It was jam packed with action and drama. Best match of the show IMO. Late in the match Scott Lost finally turns heel! Watch out world I predict Scott Lost will be a breakout indy superstar in the very near future. - Samoa Joe Vs. B-Boy was a "stiff head drop fest" as the super smarks say. Really enjoyable match, if you are a fan of either man you should dig this one. I thought it was alot of a fun... 2nd best match of the show. - Adam Pearce is god. Nuff said.... no other heel today even comes close to Pearce. - Jardi Frantz as the 4th man in the main made little sense at first... but towards the end it made perfect sense. It's pretty clear that they didn't want the 4th man to overshadow the huge announcement at the end. Jardi played his part well... - The Next show looks totally awesome, The talent list is pretty unreal... this could be the show of the year. Can't wait for the Pearce Vs. Kazarian CAGE MATCH... that'll be worth the admission price alone. Just hate to think that either Pearce or Kazarian will be gone after this one. PWG won't be the same without them. Overall, it was a really great show. Buy it when it comes out.... (whenever that is) Next show is The huge PWG 1st Anniversary show on July 10th in Hollywood CA with AJ Styles, Chris Daniels, American Dragon, CM Punk, Colt Cabana, M-Dogg 20, Havana Pitbulls, PUMA, IWA:MS' Brad Bradley, S.B.S, X-Foundation, AXP, Chris Bosh, Top Gun Talwar, Charles Mercury, Babi Slymm, Adam Pearce, Frankie Kazarian and "MORE MORE MORE" set to appear. Be there! The show after that is August 7th back at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge with Colt Cabana already set to appear!!! Be there too...

Amem brother.... I'm sick of this crap.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I love these sales...

Dahmer has. He lost to Joker (I wonder who will replace him?) but Hatred hasn't been in it yet. I really didn't like the first Hero-Hatred match though... so I hope it's someone else. Like Arik Cannon maybe...

I voted for: Baseball Stars Contra Double Dribble Golgo 13 Pro Wrestling Punch Out Skate or Die Tecmo Bowl TMNT 1-2 Track and Field 2 with the write in votes being: Dusty Diamond's All Star Softball Maniac Mansion WWF Wrestlemania Challenge Hope they actually release some of this stuff.

Another update on this: June 16, 2004 (Tokyo, Japan/Santa Monica, CA) – Today, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) informed NJPW _ USA that the scheduled June 26th IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title match featuring Champion Heat and Puma is off and now Heat will defend against Rocky Romero. Heat wanted this match because Rocky impressed “impressed me with his performance in the Super Jr. Tournament.” Heat continued with “Puma is an amazing athlete and he has the ability to put me to the challenge, but not at this event.” Rocky was one of two draws in the Best of Super Jr. Tournament and he completed the league by being in 3rd place. There are other changes to the television taping. The planned IWGP Tag Team Championship is also cancelled due to American Dragon and Curry Man’s unsuccessful title defense against Gedo and Jado in Osaka. Curry Man also suffered a shoulder injury. NJPW – USA Director Kevin Quinn let it be known that he wanted to book other talent with the same marquee value, so he has booked Ultimo Dragon against The American Dragon and the tag team attraction will be with Ricky Reyes and Puma versus Nozawa and Masada. Quinn also listed that new NJPW wrestler Yano and shoot fighter Hamanaka will also be in matches. Tickets on sale at the Inoki Dojo – 3200 Olympic Blvd. – Santa Monica, CA. For more information on changes to the event please visit www.njpw.com and watch KVMD-TV Channel 23 (Los Angeles) for updates and news on television playback and times. "

"Credit to Pwinsider.com FIRST NEW JAPAN TV TAPING IN LOS ANGELES TO FEATURE ULTIMO DRAGON TAKING ON AMERICAN DRAGON by Mike Johnson @ 1:33:00 PM on 6/17/2004 Ultimo Dragon will step back in an American ring for the first time since his depature from World Wrestling Entertainment on Saturday 6/26, facing American Dragon Bryan Danielson as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling's first TV Taping for the Los Angeles, CA market at the Inoki Dojo. The complete lineup for the TV taping, as currently announced features: *ROH champion Samoe Joe vs. Shinya Makabe *IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion Heat vs. Rocky Romero *American Dragon Bryan Danielson vs. Ultimo Dragon *Toru Yano vs. TBA *Kazuhiro Hamanaka vs.TBA CM Punk and Vampiro are also scheduled to appear at the taping, which takes place at at the Inoki LA Dojo in Santa Monica, California. The show will be taping to air locally in the Los Angeles market on KVMD. For ticket information, visit www.NJPW.com. If anyone is planning on attending the taping and would like to send a report, please email me at the above address" Holy crap, kinda bummed that the Pitbulls Vs. AD/Curry Man tag was canceled but AD Vs. UD more than makes up for it.

Well if Samoa Joe's a man of his word, he'll leave: "To Fans and Foes of ROH, please be assured that if indeed the dismissal of Rob is a fake, I have no problem making such public, handing back the belt and/or, melting it down for a new 9 iron and hopefully catching a few rounds of golf with Bob Barnett."

Hey! Hey! Well, since the show is this saturday... I'd thought I'd give some of my dreaded "Thoughts and predictions~" on the event!! This time it's a TSM boards exclusive!!! cool eh? On with the show.... "Shooting Star" Bobby Quance vs. Puma Thoughts: This time we get our monthly PWG dose of the Inoki Dojo with Quance vs. Puma. This should a fantastic juniors match with some amazing chain wrestling. Flat out both men are just incredible in there and should know each other well enough to produce a great match here. Plus where will they take the battle of the Inoki Dojo angle? Prediction: PUMA continues his PWG winning streak (He's currently 6-0 as a solo wrestler in PWG) Samoa Joe vs. B-Boy Thoughts: I can explain this match in 5 letters.... STIFF. I think these two will just kill each other in there. This is not their first singles encounter either, IIRC their last singles match was in MPW on 1/12/02 and I thought it was pretty darned impressive and quite brutal. The scary thing is that both men have really stepped up their games and have improved by great leaps and bounds since then. So by all means this one should blow the already awesome MPW match out of water. I'd expect a great hard hitting contest here. Prediction: Samoa Joe CM Punk vs. Spanky Thoughts: First time ever singles meeting between two of wrestling's more... unique personalitys. Honestly I'm looking forward to seeing if these two will mix well in there. Will Punk do a 3rd straight hour long match? well no probably not. but regardless of that I think we should get a hell of a fun match here. Really anyone reading this folder should know what these two are capable of. I just hope they exchange promos before the match. That'd be truly classic... Prediction: CM Punk PWG Tag Team Title Match Super Dragon & Excalibur © vs. Scott Lost & Joey Ryan Thoughts: I have very high hopes for this one, as their last match in APW-LA last summer was one of my favorites from 2003 and only a clean finish away from being a SoCal MOTYC IMO. Whenever and wherever Super Dragon and Joey Ryan hook up it always produces a memorable match be it in RevPro, GSCW/APW-LA or PWG. Not to mention the incredibly underrated Scott Lost who can just do wonders in there if given the chance and the always ginormusly entertaining Excalibur. Hopefully they expand upon what they started in the APW-LA match and give us a classic here. This is my pick for match of the night.... Also, I'd look for the X-Foundation to finally split up here, after months of dissension. Which would then lead to nothing but great things for both of them in the future as singles wrestlers.. Prediction: S.B.S. retain after the X-Foundation finally split up. Maybe setting up Lost Vs. Ryan for the Huge anniversary show July 10th. PWG Championship Match Adam Pearce © vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Babi Slymm vs. ??? Thoughts: This should be the blowoff to whole Pearce-Kazarian-Slymm feud which started back in Novemeber when Pearce first jumped Kazarian. This feud has already produced alot of fun matches like the Street Fight at "Taste The Radness" and Pearce Vs. Slymm at "44 Ways..." and I'd expect this one to continue that trend. In fact a similar 4-way dance between Pearce-Frankie-Slymm-Samoa Joe already took place May 1st in AWS and that was a fun match... only with a bad double pin ending. Don't forget the "Tango and Cash" 4-way either which saw Kazarian and Slymm hook it up for the first time. But the big question here is who will replace the WWE bound Hardkore Kidd and be the 4th man? Could be it The Messiah? (who will be nearby in AWS earlier that day) American Dragon? A Havana Pitbull? Ultimo Dragon? Teddy Hart? Silk Wagner Brown? Could it be someone already on the card? or maybe it'll be someone no one would ever expect like maybe Retired Chief Justice Warren Burger? Who knows... but I'd expect this 4th man to make a serious impact on this match and perhaps even on PWG itself. Prediction: Adam Pearce retains. Plus: The AXP (Scorpio Sky & Quicksilver) Disco Machine, Top Gun Talwar, Chris Bosh (fresh off a huge RevPro title win over Super Dragon), Charles Mercury, Human Tornado (according to his site) PWI's Sal Thomaselli, Vito Thomaselli, Apollo Kahn and more are scheduled to appear! hip hop huray! I'd like to see them add something like The AXP Vs. Thomaselli's. That would be an excellent match and would probably be my choice for sleeper match of the show if it's booked. Plus it'll be interesting to see where they go with Disco Machine leading Top Gun, Bosh and Mercury. Maybe an 8 man tag of somesort? Overall a hell of show on paper (maybe PWG's best yet?) I can hardly imagine what they could have planned for their biggest show ever next month. So to recap... June 19th Santa Ana California PWG... be there! Take your friends! Take the family!! Makes a great early father's day gift!!! Really If you live in the SoCal area and want to get into Indy Wrestling for the first timw, this is a great place to start! But if however some unfortunate twist of fate (like having a broken leg or living on a dirt farm in Northern Iowa) will prevent you from being able to attend the event live. Don't fret! you can enjoy PWG from your own living room!, basement!!! or van down by the river!!!!! by purchasing a top notch PWG DVD or VHS tape from http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/merch Buy 2... watch one and keep the extra in a nice dry place with your X-Men back issues, It'll be worth money one day. So...anyone else have any thoughts on the show? Predictions on the 4th man? other criticisms? feedback of any kind? ANYTHING? (geeze it's hard to get a reply to anything not Feinstein related nowadays) Anyway thanks for reading....

Geeze how many awesome shows does IWA:MS do in a month? Freaking hard to keep up with it all.

Great move by H2. Now book SD Vs. Hart already...
