[Guest SoCalTF]

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Presents "The Secret Of The Ooze" On August 14!

By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer

 

Incline, CA - There comes a time in every man's life when he has to learn about his roots, where he came from, what makes him who he is today, and that day is August 14, 2004 for the young man known as Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com). Much like man himself, PWG has risen from a formless, shapeless mass, the metaphorical "ooze" to become the supple, strapping young lad you see before you today. However, what became of that formless, shapeless mass? That metaphorical "ooze"? No one is really quite sure, and that's why it's a secret. But PWG is always willing to take a step back and examine where it came from, so explore with us this "ooze," both metaphorical and literal.

 

PWG Commissioner Paul T., being Siamese or Korean or whatever, has always been a big fan of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," the beloved comic book turned cartoon series turned feature length motion picture, it's no coincidence this show was named "The Secret Of The Ooze." Ever observant, Commissioner T. saw that PWG's time of growth was coming at the same time as some of the most heated battles this promotion has ever seen. Much like Super Shredder, Samoa Joe fights in a most dishonorable fashion, attacking from behind, allowing jealousy to take control, using his cronies to fight his battles for him. American Dragon, channeling the spirits of four shelled reptiles, fights with honor and vigor, the kind that is usually only found in nature, or in a sewer, covered in radioactive waste! Commissioner Pedro Tanaka was suffering from a bit of sunstroke when he explained his reasoning, however he made it very clear that on August 14, fans will see:

With the Southern California return of Donovan Morgan, plus Ricky Reyes, Apollo Kahn, Puma, Brad Bradley, Babi Slymm, & more scheduled to appear!

 

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's "The Secret Of The Ooze" takes place Saturday, August 14, 2004 at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC, at 8:00PM.

Hmmm, PWG stealing ROH's Dragon/Joe thunder now huh? Isn't Dragon/Joe scheduled for 8.28? Heh, not a bad move by PWG.

[Tawren 0]

What are you on? Dragon and Joe have been feuding since the Musical back in April. Dragon/Joe aren't even feuding in ROH, they just did two matches in early 2003.

[Guest Jay Z. Hollywood]

It's not just a No Time Limit match, it's a SUPER No Time Limit Match!

 

Rock on. Another good show from PWG.

[Epic Reine 0]

Bah, whatever, the only PWG I've seen so far has been BAM3000 [wasn't very impressed with it], and I'm getting Tango & Cash Tourny soon, so after that I'll concentrate on getting the rest.

 

Didn't realize they were feuding. Sorry, I must have been "on something" due to my lack of knowing PWG feuds.

[Guest McShady]

What are you on? Dragon and Joe have been feuding since the Musical back in April. Dragon/Joe aren't even feuding in ROH, they just did two matches in early 2003.

Joe and Dragon have been involved in a lot of backstage segments on just about every tape taking shots at each other for quite a while now.

[Guest SoCalTF]

If anything, PWG is picking up where the EPIC fued left off.

[Guest Soylent Green Is People]

No limit to the Joe/Dragon awesomeness, Cabana going for the title in what's sure to be a fun match, Super Dragon killing Josh Pro and tag team gauntlet action, looks to be another typically good PWG show.

[PsychoDriver 0]

Didn't I post this? man I'm starting to feel like the Rodney Dangerfield of these boards... (Meaning I get no respect... not that I'm pushing 90 like good ole' Rodney is) Eh who cares...

 

Anyway, very good card... everything looks outstanding (aside from the lack of Scott Lost) So far my pick for sleeper match of the card is JOEY RYAN Vs. CHRIS BOSH. Seriously this one has a crap load of pontential.

 

If I get around to it I'll do another preview type thing for this show sometime before the show. I know people lose sleep waiting for those "Thoughts and Predictions" deals....

[JustJoe2k5 0]

Speaking of EPIC, was Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe on their very first show or their very last one. I have International Collision and Pain And Suffering on video but I heard they had another show with Danielson vs. Joe, anyone have the rest of the results from that show and know if it is on video anywhere? Anyway, another great looking show from PWG, Danielson vs. Joe will rock, Cabana vs. Kazarian should be very entertaining, Prohibition will get his ass destroyed by Dragon, and Donovan Morgan is never a bad thing.

[Guest knifeedgechop]

It was on the last EPIC show, a TV taping. It's on the Best of Epic tape. I got it if you wanna work something out.

[thuganomics 0]

I REALLY want to see Kevin Nash come out in the Super Shredder costume at this show. That alone would make this DVD purchase worthwhile.

[PsychoDriver 0]

That or Vanilla Ice performing "Ninja Rap" live or maybe they could have Ricky Reyes be brought to the ring by long lost cousin Ernie Reyes Jr!

 

The possiblitys are truly endless...

[JoeDirt 0]

I think this is my favorite PWG show title yet.

 

The show looks pretty decent, too. Not quite at the level of the last two, but very very solid.

 

Can't wait for my first PWG DVDs to come in the mail! I'll make sure to review them here.

[PsychoDriver 0]

Can't wait for my first PWG DVDs to come in the mail! I'll make sure to review them here.

What'd you order?

[JoeDirt 0]

Kee the Ee and The Musical. I'm also getting a tape of 88 Miles Per Hour.

[PsychoDriver 0]

Kee the Ee and The Musical. I'm also getting a tape of 88 Miles Per Hour.

Good shows,

 

"Kee_" wasn't one of PWG's best efforts but it was still good (mainly just that AD/Joe's tag match was lacking and Spanky seemed off his game other than that a fine show)

 

"The Musical" IMO is probably the 2nd best PWG show yet (Behind the 1YA) and features the best match in PWG History Samoa Joe Vs. American Dragon. Not to mention a wild debut from Teddy Hart.

 

And "88MPH" is excellent. Ebessan Vs. Kamen is worth the price of the event alone.

 

 

Looking forward to your reviews on those.

[JoeDirt 0]

Didn't know Teddy Hart was in PWG. I guess he hasn't been back since?

 

I believe the DVDs will be released the first week of August, so hopefully they arrive in a week or two.

 

I REALLY can't wait until Rocktoberfest and the 1YA shows come out. I have a friend that goes to the shows and he said those two were both fantastic, and everything else I have seen on the net echoes that.

 

Oh, and if anyone knows of any PWG reviews other than the few I've read at oratory.rajah.com, please let me know!

[PsychoDriver 0]

Didn't know Teddy Hart was in PWG. I guess he hasn't been back since?

 

Nope, he hasn't been back. Though during his appearance he said he'd be back and then he sorta challenged Super Dragon.

 

 

Oh, and if anyone knows of any PWG reviews other than the few I've read at oratory.rajah.com, please let me know!

It was just announced Scorpio Sky and Scott Lost will be in Japan so they wont be on PWG's card. Congrats to both men!

[PsychoDriver 0]

Question: what time is it? Answer: No not Hammer time, no not even apple blossom time... it's time for the 11th edition of PWG:Thoughts and Predictions! "The Secret of the Ooze" Edition! Call your friends! Call yo momma!

 

 

Oh and before I get started, let me announce that you can now also find this write up at a website that should be familiar to theSmartMarks board regs, the fabulous http://www.paradisecityninjas.bravehost.com with an introduction to PWG (which includes a horrible brady bunch referance) and a few other extra things included as well. So check that out...

 

Hot off of their biggest event to date, PWG is set to kick off their 2nd year of operation with yet another big show called "The Secret of the Ooze"!

 

Now let's get to the matches!

 

 

Tag Team Gauntlet Match (Order Of Entry To Be Determined By 2/3 Fall Rock-Paper-Scissors Backstage)

Supa Badd & Human Tornado vs. Los Rojo Locos vs. Phoenix Star & Quicksilver vs. Disco Machine & Excalibur vs. Top Gun Talwar & Charles Mercury

 

First let's meet the teams!

 

Team #1: Supa Badd and Human Tornado

PWG record while teaming (counting multi man tags): 1-2

 

The Human Tornado debuted on the SoCal scene last November and instantly became one of the most popular performers SoCal has to offer. (Trust me I was there for his RevPro debut, the fans just went ape shit for him just by seeing him) Not an easy thing to pull off by any means but due to his unique and entertaining persona, incredible leaping ability and a healthy dose of charisma, The Human Tornado made it look easy. Tornado is probably one of SoCal's real hidden treasures. If WWE or TNA doesn't pick this guy up one day it'll be a shame (seriously the guy has tons of potential and will just be insanely great in a few years. Keep an eye out for him)

His partner for this show is Supa Badd. The rather tall and lanky Supa Badd has been one of the more beloved cult favorites in SoCal for a years now. Known for performing his trademark pre-match push-ups... Supa Badd is just comedy gold and can get the crowd going with the best of them. Put them both together and you very well may have the greatest comedy tag team you will find anywhere in the wrestling world today (I dare you to watch one of their matches and not at least crack a smile) but can they defeat 4 other teams hungry for victory and possibly tacos? I think they can, but will depend on if their Rock-Paper-Scissors (Called Ro Sham Bo by the diehards, if you actually believe R-P-S even has diehard fans!) skills can get them a late entrance into the match. Here's a tip guys, pick ROCK! Good ole rock... never fails.

 

Chances of winning: Fair but slight. But It's not wether you win or lose, it's how good you look doing it! And if you judge by that criteria... this team can't be beat!

 

 

Team #2: Los Rojos Locos (Ok they are the Ballard Brothers in masks but much like the "Ooze" let's just keep that a secret ok? As only those on NBC's "Secrets of Pro Wrestling" are allowed to reveal wrestling's secrets)

PWG teaming record: 5-3

 

After being sent packing from PWG by the X-Foundation at "44 ways" The Ballards have devised the perfect way to sneak back into PWG. By wrestling under masks as Mexican team "Los Rojos Locos" (an old gimmick the team had done in 1998) Why do they have to win this match? while PWG has yet to announce anything official... you have to assume the winners of this gauntlet will be first in line for the shot at the unstable PWG tag team champions The X-Foundation. So if Los Rojo Loco's win here they could in turn end up killing two birds with one stone

 

Bird #1: If victorious they'd be in line for a shot at revenge against The X-Foundation who forced their alter egos The Ballards out of PWG.

 

Bird #2: Capturing The PWG tag titles could force PWG to give them their jobs back.

 

I'd say more so than any other team in this match, this is a must win for Los Rojo Locos. As their very careers may depend on it...

 

Likelihood of winning?: Very High. If I had a farm I'd bet it on them...

 

Team #3: Phoenix Star and Quicksilver

PWG Teaming record: This will be their first time teaming up in PWG (though they have teamed at least twice in Revolution Pro 6-man tags)

However their overall PWG records are Phoenix Star: 1-3 and Quicksilver: 6-5

 

With both their normal tag partners unavailable (Star's Los Luchas partner Zorke is out with an injury, and Silver's AXP partner Scorpio Sky is on a month long tour of Osaka Pro in Japan) these two amazing high flyers will have to work together if they want to be successful in this match. That shouldn't be a problem as are both well seasoned in the arts. Nope not in the art of Tai Chee or even the art of Macromay but in the sometimes lost art of tag team wrestling! Phoenix Star being formally one half of the AWS tag champions (with Zokre) and Quicksilver has held both the PWG Tag titles (with Chris Bosh) and AWS tag titles (with Scorpio Sky) Plus take into account that know each other very well and have always worked amazingly smooth in the ring against each other in the past (Check out their match at RevPro's REV. J 2003) but will this translate into enough tag team continuity to get the W in this one? Well, Win, Lose or Draw (or whatever other 80's game show starring Burt Reynolds you want to mention) they should make for a very exciting team and could be the sleeper team in this match.

 

Likelihood of winning?: Same as Ralph Nader's. But hey... Nader could surprise ya!

 

Team#4: 2/3 of S.B.S. (with Super Dragon) Disco Machine and Excalibur

PWG teaming record: 2-2

 

This one should be very interesting. Will former PWG Tag title co-holder Excalibur find the same success with this combination of SBS as he did with championship partner Super Dragon? And what exactly is up with Disco Machine? A few months ago Disco Machine assumed leadership of the "Sexual Aggression" stable (who were once involved in a heated feud with SBS) Now for the first time since then he will once again team with SBS stable-mate Excalibur. So the question has to be asked... just where does Disco Machine's allegiance lie? Is it with his long time tag partner Excalibur? With his new allies Top Gun Talwar and Charles Mercury? or is it with those moderately priced Little Debbie snack cakes?

 

Chance of winning?: Good, but it could be better (sorta like Vanilla Coke)

 

 

Team #5: 2/4 of "Sexual Aggression" (with Disco Machine and Chris Bosh) Top Gun Talwar and Charles Mercury:

PWG teaming record: 2-3

 

I like analogies so I'll throw one out here. You could say that Top Gun Talwar and Charles Mercury have been to PWG, what the Buffalo Bills are to the NFL. Sure they can get to the big matches but they have never been able to win when it counted (they were even the first two eliminated from the guerrilla games match) So could this end up being the match where their cold streak snaps? Afterall the Buffalo Bills have since ended up winn... oh wait no they haven't. On second thought maybe I don't like analogies that much afterall...

Anyway where was I? Oh yeah, can Top Gun Talwar and Charles Mercury finally get on the winning track? I'd say out of all the teams in this match, Mercury/Top Gun just may have the most to prove here as this will be their chance to finally get a win when it matters. Also again you must take Disco Machine (the man who pledged to lead them to greatness) into consideration. Just where does he stand in all this? Does Disco hold the key to their victory in this match?

 

Last Saturday's lotto numbers?: 9, 15, 26, 30, 43, Mega Number: 20

 

This team's chance at winning? If history tells us anything, not so good. But what does history know anyway? If it was so great, how come everyone in it is dead?

 

 

My Thoughts: There you have it, 5 teams each their own story and motivations to win. But what happens when you combine these 5 exciting SoCal tag teams into one gauntlet match? Well I suppose it could create a vortex that will suck us all into infinity, ending humanity as we know it or... it could just produce a hell of a fun match. Take your pick! personally I'm leaning toward the vortex thing.

 

My Prediction?: The Bal... er Mexican sensation's Los Rojo Locos.

 

 

"Photogenic" Chris Bosh vs. ""The Technical Wizard" Joey Ryan

 

Past History!: They feuded as apart of the PWG owners Vs. AXP/Bosh/Mercury/Talwar angle early in the year. and they met in 3 tag matches during the course of that feud. Including Bosh and then partner Quicksilver defeating The X-Foundation to win the PWG tag titles on 3/27. The match that started the dissension between the X-Foundation which later snowballed into all the problems they are having right now. This however will be their first ever singles meeting. Both are coming off big losses at the last show, so they should have something to prove here. Joey Ryan should be looking to get back on the winning track and further cementing his spot as main player in PWG, while Chris Bosh should be looking to establish himself as a force to reckon with in PWG singles division.

 

PWG singles records: Joey Ryan 3-3 and Chris Bosh 0-2

 

My Thoughts: Ok I'm guessing not many of you read the card for this show and said "Holy S**T JOEY RYAN VS. CHRIS F'N BOSH! OMG!1!1!! I'm booking a flight to LA!" but by no means should anyone overlook this match or Chris Bosh. Bosh has just improved so much this past year. Watch a Bosh match from 2003 and then watch a more recent one, IMO he's like a totally different performer in there. He's developed an entertaining heel persona, he's alot crisper in the ring and has gained a solid in ring presence. Also he's added a truly awe-inspiring version of The Steiner Screwdriver to his arsenal. Which has to be one of the most deadly finishers around today. Another thing to keep in mind is that Bosh has alot of momentum going his way, as he had what could be called his breakout match in RevPro this past June when he beat Super Dragon in an amazing bout to win the RevPro title (that match was named SoCal MOTM for June beating out such SoCal matches as Ultimo Dragon Vs. American Dragon, Samoa Joe Vs. B-Boy, SBS Vs. X-Foundation and Samoa Joe Vs. Shinya Makabe for that honor. That's an impressive feat) So by no means should Bosh be taken lightly (no pun intended!)

 

On the other side of the coin we have Joey Ryan, one of the best SoCal has to offer. And for the first time in months Joey won't have the distraction of rival/tag partner Scott Lost to worry about (as Lost is currently touring with Osaka Pro in Japan). For whose not familiar with Joey Ryan, let me just add that he didn't win the nickname "Technical Wizard" in a card game or on a crooked 50's gameshow. He earned it! month after month, week after week, year after year by displaying it in the ring. You won't see alot of flash from Joey... just a hell of a technical based match.

So put the super babyface technical wizardry and comic book collecting nature of Mr. Joseph Ryan with the admerging heel superstar of Christopher Bosharelli and what do you get? IMO you should get an excellent match up and my pick for the sleeper match of the evening.

 

My Prediction: Chris Bosh pulls an upset.

 

 

Josh Prohibition vs. PUMA

 

Past History? None. This will a first time ever meeting between the two!

PWG Records: PUMA is currently 8-3 overall in PWG and Josh is 0-1.

 

My Thoughts: Josh Prohibition eh? Well as 80's heart throb, star of such movies as "Dirty Dancing" and "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" and not to forget short lived singing sensation Patrick Swayze may have crooned about him: "He's like the wind" Meaning sometimes he's very enjoyable but other times.... he just blows in unfavorable directions. In other words from what I've seen, Josh can be hit and miss. Although I haven't seen him in enough recent singles matches to tell if he's improved as much as say M-Dogg-20 has since his first CZW stint. I do remember being quite fond of some of Josh's CZW work though (His chemistry with M-Dogg is simply magical and he was pretty good on the mat with Nick Berk as well) Well, If Josh brings his A-game (or if he brings TV's the A-Team) to the show, he'll produce something to remember.

His opposition? A man so nice they named him twrice! PUMA!/PINOY BOY!/TJ PERKINS! By any name he is one of the fastest rising stars on the west coast and real force to contend with in PWG. With his lightning fast kicks, great chain wrestling ability, and a bit of lucha at his disposal, PUMA should prove to be a formidable foe for Josh to overcome here.

Now on paper this could appear to be a clash of styles, but I really believe they will blend nicely in there. Why do I think that? Well from what I've seen Josh has worked the best with guys like Nick Berk and M-Dogg 20. Well PUMA is probably a better mat worker than Berk and he's not to far behind M-Dogg in the high flying department. How's that for logic eh? I know I already said Bosh Vs. Ryan was my pick for sleeper match of the night... but I think one just may steal that honor if everything clicks.

 

 

My Prediction: Josh with a little help from Brad Bradley.

 

CM Punk vs. Ricky Reyes

 

The Past History!: This will be their first ever one on one meeting. They have however met two other times in the ring in tag matches, once in The IWA:MS tag tourney where Punk and Cabana beat Reyes and PUMA and once in ROH on 8/7, Where Reyes' Havana Pitbulls defeated CM Punk and Colt Cabana for the ROH tag titles. Also they both happened to be trained by the same man, Kevin Quinn. Sorry, I couldn't find anything more than that. I'd really would have liked to have been able to say something about a deep seeded past history of hatred between the Straight Edge elitists and the Cubans that dates back to the days of Cuban military dictator, Fulgencio Batista or something, but sadly evidence of such could be found. Closest thing I found is that Pat Boone and Desi Arnaz really weren't very close friends. That's good enough right?

 

Overall PWG records: CM Punk 3-3 and Ricky Reyes: 6-3

 

My Thoughts: The hits just keep on coming with PWG. On one side you have Havana Pitbull Ricky Reyes a very versatile wrestler, highly skilled in many facets of in ring competition. A real rising star in the world of wrestling. While he may still be best known as one half of the amazing Havana Pitbulls tag team, don't overlook the year he's had as a single. Already this year as a single, he's been in the very prestigious Super 8 Tourney, Made a huge impact in the east coast with ROH, not to mention having a terrific year in SoCal with PWG and NJPW-USA. So far this year he's produced alot of outstanding solo outings with the likes of Samoa Joe, Teddy Hart, Rocky Romero, PUMA, Apollo Kahn and many others. So by no means overlook him as a singles wrestler... or he may stiff you like he did Teddy Hart.

On the other side you have indy wrestling's 60 minute man! One of wrestling more unique personalitys CM Punk! another well rounded in ring performer, that should be no stranger to anyone reading this. His top notch work against with the likes of such varied competition such as: Samoa Joe, Chris Hero, Homicide, Raven, AJ Styles, Terry Funk, Super Dragon, American Dragon and many many others should more than speak for itself.

As for the match itself, seeing as both were in part trained by the same man... I think they will go the extra mile here to have a good match. Sorta like an old kung-fu movie where 2 students from the same sensei go all out for pride and to show who is the true top student, #1 son, best in show, yokozuna or something like that. Any way you slice it, this one has the potential to steal the show, so I'd be on the lookout for very good match here.

 

My prediction: Tough one to predict... but I gotta go with CM Punk. After getting some help from Brad Bradley (a man Reyes cheated out of a victory against PUMA last show)

 

 

Super Mania Dream Match

Super Dragon vs. Samoa Joe

 

Past history? This will be their first ever one on one meeting (deja vu!) They have only met in ring one other time and that was B-Boy, Frankie Kazarian, & Samoa Joe vs. Messiah, Super Dragon, & Tech 9 in a 6-man tag in MPW back in 2002. Also SD and Joe were tag partners and allies for a short time in EPIC Pro Wrestling.

 

PWG records: Samoa Joe is 4-1-1 (The one loss by way of DQ) in singles matches and Super Dragon is an impressive 15-4 overall.

 

My Thoughts: A long awaited dream match to say the least. For perhaps the first time ever, Super Dragon, a man known for his near perfect fluentity in the universal language of violence... will have to face a man who is his equal when it comes to dishing out the beat-downs, in the form of Samoa Joe! It's a case an irresistible force meeting an unmovable object with a shit load of force of it's own! So what should you expect in a match where both men can bring the brutality in more flavors than Baskin-Robbins?

 

Here's what I'm thinking: Last month in PWG we saw an excellent in match story where CM Punk tried to out "asshole" Super Dragon. By taunting him, stealing his curb stomp and basically just pissing him off. This time I think we'll see something similar. I'd like to see them have Super Dragon try to bully Joe in typical SD fashion only to have the much bigger Joe turn it around on him. Example: I envision an amazing exchange where SD gives Samoa Joe the violence party... only to have Joe reverse it and give SD a stiff violence party of this own. Taking away SD's "bully factor" adds alot of intrigue and whole new dimension to his matches. Just watch his matches with Babi Slymm and Vic Grimes for examples, and neither of them ever had nearly the overwhelming force possessed by Samoa Joe! There are so many things they could do and so many places they can go with this one. I don't see anyway this won't be an incredibly fun and memorable match. And quite honestly I'm looking forward to this match even more so than the originally booked Samoa Joe Vs. American Dragon match (and that's saying something as Joe Vs. AD from PWG's The Musical is what I consider to be PWG's greatest match and I'm sure the rematch would have more than topped that one) Expect a classic here....

 

My Prediction?: Another tough one, I wanna say Super Dragon but somehow I think Samoa Joe will win here.

 

PWG Championship Title Match

"The Future" Frankie Kazarian © vs. "Classic" Colt Cabana

 

Backstory! In the biggest match in PWG history Frankie Kazarian finally vanquished his long time rival Adam Pearce after a memorable loser leaves town cage match at "The Reason for the Season" to recapture the PWG title. However after the match, Frankie was outraged to find the fans had actually started cheering for Adam Pearce, a man who had caused him such hardship and misery in the past. Taking the fans' cheers for Pearce as being disrespect for him. Frankie Kazarian turned on the fans who once supported him. If they didn't respect him... he wouldn't respect them. Which fueled him to destroy Pearce with a chair and also turn on his friend Babi Slymm by unleashing some shots on him as well. It's as if Daniel-san had left Mr. Miyagi and sided with the dreaded Terry Silver of the Cobra Kai! "Live or die man... Live or die!" Where will this dark new path lead Frankie? Only time will tell....

 

Meanwhile! earlier at "The Reason for the Season" Adam Pearce's Chicago ally Colt Cabana was victorious in a 3-way dance against Babi Slymm and Excalibur to win the 1# Contendership for the PWG title. Not to mention what would later turn into a shot at revenge on Frankie for sending his friend Pearce out of PWG. So the match is set for August 14th Frankie Kazarian Vs. Colt Cabana. Can Cabana defeat the now villainous Frankie Kazarian and claim the PWG title for his own? and just where does Babi Slymm fit into this?

 

A friendly message to the Kazarian naysayers: Ok first things first. To all those new PWG fans out there you may be saying "I don't like Frankie Kazarian Blah Blah TNA Blah Blah" Let me just say that you've never truly seen Frankie Kazarian untill you've seen him in the bright lights of SoCal! It's like Superman in a yellow sun solar system, when he's away from it he isn't totally at his best but when he's in it... he's nearly unstoppable! Frankie is almost like a completely different wrestler here in SoCal (especially in PWG) So hold off on your Kazarian prejudice untill you've seen him in SoCal! Give him a chance... you'll be pleasantly surprised. Ok enough of that, let's get to the match.

 

My thoughts: Oddly enough this is the only match on the card that's ever happened before. In fact it'll be taking place almost one year to the day that Frankie Kazarian first fought Colt Cabana in APW-LA (8-16-03) That first match (which Frankie won) was an excellent contest, and both of them showed great chemistry in the ring together. However for some reason their APW-LA match never did quite get the praise it rightfully deserved. But now with the match on a larger stage and with a nice bit of storyline motivation behind it... it should turn out even better! Match the ungodly charismatic dynamo known as Colt Cabana with the natural cocky heel coolness of Frankie Kazarian and you've got yourself something special. Little tip though I think this one will have to be experienced live to be fully comprehended (sorta like a Gallagher concert... only with more watermelons!)

 

My Prediction: Frankie Kazarian retains the title and improves his overall PWG record to 13-3-1 (adding Cabana to his list of PWG Victims which includes the likes of Spanky, Chris Daniels, AJ Styles, American Dragon, Adam Pearce, Scott Lost, Joey Ryan, Hardkore Kidd, Lil Cholo, M-Dogg-20, Babi Slymm, Jonny Storm among others)

 

Now how much would you expect to pay for such an outstanding card? $126.99? $49.95? $34.99? $19.99? No! Would you believe that you get all this for just one easy payment of just $15.00!!! You heard me right you get the long awaited Samoa Joe Vs. Super Dragon dream match, The NASA grade Frankie Kazarian Vs Colt Cabana, the Kid tested, Mother approved goodness of PUMA Vs. Josh Prohibition!, The critically acclaimed CM Punk Vs. Ricky Reyes! The Gem Mint 10 Joey Ryan Vs. Chris Bosh! and the FIVE team (Yes you heard right, that's 5 teams!) tag gauntlet match! If purchased individually, these top quality matches would cost you upwards of $1852.75! But you can see them for only one easy payment of $15.00!! That's $0.75 a wrestler! You can't even get a cup of coffee for that price! You'll be literally choking on the value!!!

 

BUT WAIT! There's MORE!

 

Act now and you'll also get: The PWG Debut of West Coast Indy Wrestling pioneer and NOAH Superstar Donovan Morgan! PWI's Apollo Kahn!, IWA:MS/NJPW-USA's Brad Bradley!, The AWS heavyweight champion Babi Slymm! w/C. Edward Vanderpyle!, & even MORE!

 

Now that's the six matches designed for the ultimate in performance, quality and durability plus additional matches with the added talent all for still only easy payment of $15.00! WOW with that kind of deal you can't afford not to go! Act now... supplies are LIMITED!

 

 

Ok, seriously now that I have exorcised the evil of Ron Popeil from my very soul.. I'd like to say that anyone in or near the Los Angeles area should come check this one out. Samoa Joe Vs. Super Dragon alone will give you your money's worth. Don't be a cheap ass... just go!

If you will be unable to attend the show for somereason, you should look into purchasing a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla DVD! including the newly released "Kee_ The _ee Out Of Our _ool!" (Featuring Spanky's debut Vs. Kazarian, SD Vs. Scorpio Sky in the 2nd ever Guerrilla Warfare match, the show stealing PUMA Vs. Ricky Reyes and more) and one of the best PWG shows at date in "The Musical" (featuring the first PWG Joe Vs. AD bout, The debut of Teddy Hart, Chris Daniels Vs. B-Boy and loads more) most of them at the unbeliveably low price of $14.95 each! (Move over "Lucky's" PWG is the new low price leader!) at one of these fine locations:

And for those who shun modern technology, don't worry! You can still enjoy PWG on the VHS format from http://www.smartmarkvideo.com !

 

Yes indeed PWG releases are everywhere you want to be! (and even some you don't! )

 

And please remember to always get your PWG DVDs and Tapes from official sources to help this One year old Guerrilla grow into a monsterous King Kong sized ape that will take over the world one DVD at a time! Because everytime you bootleg/download a PWG show... a baby seal is horribly slaughtered and eaten by the devil! Now we wouldn't want that would we? So if you are ever faced with a bootleging crisis, just think of the poor baby seals, won't you?

 

That's all I got... thank you all very much for reading, also I once again want to thank the good folks at www.paradisecityninjas.bravehost.com for posting this as well.
