"PWG's "Use Your Illusion 3 & 4" on October 9th & 23rd!

By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer

 

Mokelumne Hill, California - After Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) "The Next Show" earlier this month, Commissioner Paul T. found that things within PWG were spinning wildly out of control. PWG Tag Team Champion Scott Lost had aligned himself with PWG Champion "The Future" Frankie Kazarian leaving all the gold in their hands. On top of that, Frankie Kazarian, thanks to his PWG Champion contract, decided to invoke his Vacation Clause, and will be spending the 9th of October in Cabo San Lucas with Sammy Hagar! As if things weren't bad enough, though we had booked AJ Styles, TNA had assigned him to do promotional work on the weekend of the 9th, so he couldn't make it! Then American Dragon called, and said he was going to be in Japan! What's a Commissioner to do? Hold two shows in October in order to make it up to our fans!

 

With the cards stacked against him, Commissioner Paul T. gathered the greatest creative minds from across the business world, nearly bankrupting PWG in the process with massive consulting fees. Together, they were able to come up with the most dramatic, most important rock n' roll album of this generation, which will be interpretively performed, in the center of the ring, by the PWG roster. Not only will it see stability restored to the PWG Title picture, when Scott Lost announces his Tag Title Co-Holder, it will be a time of sadness as Bobby Quance says farewell to PWG, on his way to join the US Navy. To celebrate Bobby's contribution to PWG, and professional wrestling in general, Paul T. has lined up a dream match against "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. "Use Your Illusion 3" takes place on Saturday, October 9, 2004 at 7:00PM at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC, and features:

 

Aerial Express (Quicksilver & Scorpio Sky) vs. S.B.S. (Disco Machine & Excalibur)

 

Puma vs. UK Kid

 

B-Boy vs. "Photogenic" Chris Bosh

 

Bobby Quance PWG Farewell Match

"Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. Bobby Quance

 

Plus Samoa Joe, Super Dragon, Joey Ryan, Hook Bomberry, Top Gun Talwar, and Scott Lost picks his new partner for the PWG Tag Team Titles!

 

And there will be an important announcement concerning "Use Your Illusion 4" taking place on Saturday, October 23 at the Hollywood JCC.

 

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's "Use Your Illusion 3" takes place at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC on Saturday, October 9, 2004 at 7:00PM. The Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC is located at 1110 Bates Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90029. Tickets are only $15 each, and will be available at the door.

Wow, 2 PWG shows in one month? As Mr. Burns or Ted of "Bill and Ted" fame would say.... "Excellent" and should I even mention that they have the 2 greatest show titles in the history of wrestling?

[Use Your Illusion 0]

!?!?!?!?!?!

[JoeDirt 0]

Two PWG shows in one month is very cool. Hopefully they have a really good lineup for that second show...and hell, they should add Joe vs. Dragon for the first one.

[Guest SoCalTF]

Anyone who's in the L.A. area and misses this show can go Right Next Door To Hell. Anyone who's mom or girlfriend wont let them go to this show should just say "Back OFF Bitch". These shows look So Fine and in My World if this card was a women I'd go up to her and say You Could Be Mine.

 

*Wants to make a Patience refrence but realized it's not on the Use Your Illusions *

[Guest Corino 1000]

!!!!!!Shit looking foward to Bobby Quance vs. Daniels should be quite a match. Haven't seen any of UK Kids work but I've good things. Should be a pretty good show.

[Epic Reine 0]

I don't get it, that line-up doesn't look that great.

[PsychoDriver 0]

I don't get it, that line-up doesn't look that great.

Well... yeah it's not mind blowing yet but that's just a basic line up right now.

 

There is still much to add with Samoa Joe, Super Dragon, Hook Bomberry, Joey Ryan, Scott Lost and whomever he chooses as his partner. Alot of places they can go here...

 

Plus PWG has never been a fed to let their fans down. So I'd bet that PWG has something big up their sleeves for this one.

 

I'll have a preview of this show on this board and http://www.paradisecityninjas.bravehost.com/PCN.html as the show gets closer. So look out for that one....

Weird how much hype PWG gets on this board, but ROH doesn't.

[Guest McShady]

PsychoDriver and Lucharesu post a lot here, most people who follow ROH just post on the ROH board.

"Awesome fuckin' main event. Seriously, MOTYC. I'll give it a 5 star just cause how it got everyone into it. Joey cost B-Boy/SD the belts, after the match he challenged SD on the 23rd (Use your Illusion 4) to a 60 MINUTE IRONMAN MATCH!! On the same show we also get a 6-man CHIKARA MATCH B/W QUACKENBUSH, GRAN AKUMA, AND ICARUS VS. LARRY SWEENY, JIGSAW, AND HALLOWICKED!"

[PsychoDriver 0]

I was planning on doing a long report on this... but honestly I'm blanking on alot of the match details. So I'll give some short thoughts

 

Oh, I'll be using the time tested "Guns N' Roses album rating scale"

The Spaghetti Incident? = Bad

GNR Lies = Ok/Decent, Has it's moments but is flawed for some reason

Use Your Illusion 2 = Good

Use Your Illusion 1 = Very Good

Appetite for Destruction = GREAT

 

 

To start off the show, Lost picks Chris Bosh as his partner. Which is awesome, I had a hunch it would be Bosh when this thing all started. They should make a great team...

 

Los Rojo Locos/Supa Badd over X-Foundation Version 2: Funky Billy Kim, Charles Mercury & Ronin

Good to see Super Dragon's student, Ronin debut in PWG. I've been impressed with his work in RevPro/AWS, he's one to watch for. This match had alot of fun moments... but overall it didn't seem to click for me and went on a bit too long. Afterward Los Rojos Locos attack Supa Badd (who was dressed a Ballard)

 

Rating: GNR Lies

 

Top Gun Talwar over Hook Bomberry via The Danger ZONE.

I thought this would end up being a clash of styles... but it actually turned out very well. With Hook working the arm and Top Gun just going crazy and threaten to rape the ref! Fun stuff...

 

Rating: Use Your Illusion 2

 

Puma over UK Kid via submission

Ha ha, you gotta love the UK Kid's wacky antics. Very solid match with PUMA pulling out the victory with his awesome version of the cloverleaf and improves his PWG single record to 9-1. PUMA was very over...

 

Rating: Use Your Illusion 2

 

The AXP over SBS after their dropkick/piledriver combo.

Yet another good match. Forgetting alot of details. But I remember tons of sick head drops, like SBS stealing AXP's finish dropkick/piledriver combo and Quicksilver getting dumped on his head left and right. The finishing dropkick/piledriver to Excalibur was just sick... (he landed right on his head. Almost looked like Austin-Owen from my angle) I'm surprised the guy could still walk after that.

 

Rating: Use Your Illusion 2

 

 

Bobby Quance over Christopher Daniels after a lucha type roll up.

Pretty much what you would expect from them. A great back and forth match... they seemed to click very well. Nice bit of drama with the 20 min. time limit set to expire and Bobby getting the last second pin. And Daniels challenging him to a rematch afterward and pretending not to know about him joining the Navy was very funny. Crowd was huge for his match and Bobby Quance. Really a great way to send Bobby off. Godspeed Bobby... we'll miss you.

 

Rating: Appetite for Destruction

 

Samoa Joe over Joey Ryan after a huge lariat

This one just freaking rocked. Samoa Joe dished out a huge amount of punishment to Joey. But Joey kept on firing back and just kicking out of everything (even the dreaded Island Driver) Interesting part where Joey was knocked out on the floor and looked like he was gonna be counted out (Ala SD at "ooze") but fought back to his feet and kept on bringing the fight to Joe (including a Tornado DDT to the floor) then SD appeared on the apron and Joey got pushed into him which set him up for a huge lariat by Joe to finally put the spunky Joey Ryan away. Again fantastic match...

 

Rating: Appetite for Destruction

 

Frankie Kazarian over Tony Stradlin in a non-title match after Slymm threw his pimp juice in Tony's face.

I'll admit Tony Stradlin debuting didn't exactly spark a "mark out moment" (I'd would have actaully rather would have saw Izzy Stradlin) But... man did this match deliever. They clicked very well and put on a very good match. Back and forth action for many near falls drama. But in the end it was the outside interfearance of Babi Slymm and his "Pimp Juice" that made the difference. Good showing from Tony, I wouldn't mind seeing him return.

 

Fun and pointless Fact! : Straddlin was orginally supposed to appear at PWG's debut show against Ricky Reyes.

 

Rating: Use Your Illusion 1

 

Scott Lost & Chris Bosh over B-Boy & Super Dragon after Lost made Dragon tap to the sharpshooter

....MOTYC (and I really HATE using that BS semi-worthless term but sometimes you just have to) from two of SoCal's top stars and two of the fastest rising SoCal Stars.

Once again The SoCal Dream Team of B-Boy and Super Dragon deliever greatness (remember their near classic matches with The Briscoes and Quance/Frantz?) and Bosh/Lost kept up with them every step of the way.

 

Just some of the spots:

Lost setting SD for the Curb Stomp and Bosh hitting a Double Stomp to SD's head.

Double Top Rope Stomp from B-Boy/SD

Bosh countering the Shining Wizard with a perfectly timed Low Blow

Cool Suplex/Backbreaker combo from Bosh/Lost

Hart Attack finisher into a backbreaker

Bosh giving a SD the clotheline backbreaker.. since B-Boy then hitting the Wizard.

SD beating the living hell out of Bosh. Including the single loudest chop I've ever heard live (just beating Joe on AD from The Musical) Bosh's chest was just blood red after this one.

Bosh nearing taking B-Boy's head off with a backdrop driver.

Loads more great stuff I'm blanking on right now... really action packed.

 

Toward the end, Joey Ryan came out and distracted SD, stopping him from hitting Bosh with a Super Psycho Driver. In the end Lost locks in the Sharpshooter and finally makes Super Dragon tap out,

 

Overall: Loads of intense action, insane spots, drama and fun here. HELL OF A MATCH.... be sure to check this one out.

 

Rating: Appetite for Destruction

 

 

Overall: I loved this show, IMO maybe one of the best PWG shows ever (and I've been to all of them) Plus they did it all without a fly in either! Pure West Side all the way mofo. And whose who missed this show... all I can say is "You f'd Up bigtime"

 

According to the flyer in just two weeks at UYI4 we'll see:

Super Dragon Vs. Joey Ryan in a 60 Minute Iron Man Match

Lost/Bosh Vs. The AXP

Quackenbush/Gran Akuma/Icarus Vs. Jigsaw/Sweeney/Hallowicked (If you've never seen a Chikara 6-man... you are in for a serious theat here)

 

Plus: The Havana Pitbulls, PUMA, UK Kid, Top Gun Talwar and Frankie defends the PWG Title.

 

Picked up the new DVDs, great stuff all around. And wow the DVD Menus have really improved, professional looking stuff. Plus another good set of promos on "Ooze" as well (Cabana is always classic... pun intended)

 

In closing thanks alot PWG, keep up the amazing work.

[Tawren 0]

Now that looks like a fucking show. Those 4 last matches sound incredible. UYI4 looks even better, the crowd is going to eat up the 6 man with a spoon.

 

I wish I lived in SoCal

[Cuban Linx 0]

Have either Joey Ryan or Super Dragon ever worked a match that went anthing near 60 minutes before?

[Guest SoCalTF]

Dragon worked a 60 minute match with B-Boy, Bobby Quance, and Jardi Frantz I believe.

 

The show was real good. The main event was close to **** or even above in my mind. Kazarian/Stradlin was good, Joey/Joe was done real well and the way they're having a muli-person fued has me hoping there's some huge blow off in up coming months. Bobby Quance's farewell was so emotional as he got a huge ovation from the crowd and it was a great way to see him go. I'm looking forward to Joey/Dragon IV and the tag title match. I'm not looking forward to the CHIKARA match because I honestly can't get into their tapes and feel they're overrated except for Eddie Kingston and Chris Hero. Plus the Pitbulls are going to be there so hopefully PWG will book a great team for them to face.
