2006 BOLA Line Up

 

On a hot evening in early September of last year, a single man overcame great odds, advancing to the top of a field of sixteen to win Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's Battle of Los Angeles tournament. This year, the story will be much the same, but the odds will be greater, and the field will be larger. Twenty-four men from Southern California and around the world will compete in the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, with the opening rounds taking place on Friday, September 1, 2006 and Saturday, September 2, 2006, and the final rounds taking place on Sunday, September 3, 2006. Three nights of professional wrestling that are already shaping up to be the biggest event in PWG history. On June 3 at "Fear of a Black Planet" Scorpio Sky announced that he would be the first entrant in the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, attempting to bring the focus of the tournament solely on himself. However, Scorpio Sky could not have anticipated the first match to be officially announced for the tournament, which will undoubtedly steal his spotlight. On Friday, September 1, 2006 in the first round of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, PWG veteran and Cleveland, OH native M-Dogg 20 will take on CIMA, the ace of the Dragon Gate promotion in Japan, making his Southern California debut!

 

06/24/06

On Saturday, September 2, 2006, the second night of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles will feature a first round match that has yet to occur anywhere in the world. The self professed "Savior of Wrestling," one half of the Kings of Wrestling tag team, Chris Hero will take on a man whose battles outside the ring with male pattern baldness are often as tough as his battles in the squared circle, from Dragon Gate, Genki Horiguchi. The 2006 Battle of Los Angeles marks Horiguchi's first appearance in Southern California, so please, do not call him "Hage."

 

06/29/06

Today's announcement marks the entry of high-flying Jack Evans into the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, the first man to be announced who also competed in last year's tournament. In 2005, Evans was eliminated in the opening round, something he surely does not wish to repeat this year. However, the Prince of Parkland will have his work cut out for him as he takes on the other half of the Kings of Wrestling, the Most Money Making Man in professional wrestling, Claudio Castagnoli! These two will face off on the second night of the tournament, Saturday, September 2, 2006.

 

06/30/06

Because he is unable to appear at PWG's 3 Year Anniversary Show, "Threemendous," on July 16, Commissioner Winwood has decided that Frankie Kazarian will be Scorpio Sky's opponent on night two of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles. Scorpio Sky attacked Frankie Kazarian at PWG's "(Please Don't Call It) The OC" in May, hitting him repeatedly with a steel chair, then cutting of Frankie's trademark ponytail. Kazarian has been looking for revenge ever since, and at the Battle of Los Angeles he will have his chance.

 

07/05/06

In order to keep the bracket even, we'll be announcing two first round matches tonight for the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles! The opening match of the tournament will pit two fan favorites against one another when Disco Machine takes on "Classic" Colt Cabana! In the final match of the first round, Chris Sabin will be facing "The Do'er of The Backbreaker" Roderick Strong! It will be the first Battle of Los Angeles tournament appearance for all four men (Chris Sabin was forced to pull out of the 2005 Battle of Los Angeles due to injury.)

 

07/06/06

Taking place on the first night of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles will be the first ever singles encounter between Matt Sydal and Mark Briscoe. Sydal, known for his high flying as well as his high impact moves, will have his hands full with Mark Briscoe, who along with his brother Jay, have turned many heads since their return to PWG earlier this year.

 

07/08/06

On September 2, the second night of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, fans will see a man known as the youngest old timer in the business, TJ Perkins, take on the second returning entrant from the 2005 Battle of Los Angeles, Davey Richards. In the year since the first tournament, Richards has seen his popularity skyrocket, but Perkins has seen many "next big thing" come and go. Also on the second night will be Jay Briscoe taking on Alex Koslov. Much like his brother Mark, Jay Briscoe has impressed many since returning to PWG, but will that be enough to defeat Koslov, who faces what could be the biggest opportunity of his career thus far?

 

07/10/06

Tonight's announcement is a special one, as we will announce the final two matches for Friday, September 1, the first night of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles. The first match will be a battle between two Battle of Los Angeles veterans, when Quicksilver (eliminated in Round 3 last year) takes on "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen (eliminated in Round 2.) The final match for the first night of the tournament will be between another 2005 Battle of Los Angeles veteran, El Generico, and a man making his PWG, as well as tournament, debut; He is none other than the incomprehensible Delirious. With both the A and B blocks complete, only one more unknown tournament match remains, and it will be announced this Sunday, July 16 at PWG's three year anniversary celebration "Threemendous!"

 

07/12/06

The final match for the first round of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles has been called a "dream match" by fans around the world, but now that it is actually taking place, it may prove to be the first "nightmare match." It's called a Nightmare Match because the pandemonium these two men will cause and the sheer brutality of the match will undoubtedly give those who witness it nightmares for years to come. Break out the rubber sheets, because on September 2, 2006, on the second night of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles Super Dragon will return to the ring to take on Necro Butcher.

 

07/18/06

While fans had plenty of reasons to be excited about the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Commissioner Dino Winwood is about to give them a few more. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Commissioner Winwood has been forced to make a few changes to the tournament lineup: First, because of a six month learning excursion to Mexico, Alex Koslov will be unable to compete in the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles. Taking Alex's place in the tournament will be none other than Austin Aries. Aries made his return to PWG earlier this year with a pair of impressive showings against fellow tournament contenders Chris Sabin and Kevin Steen. The next two changes to the tournament both involve the Briscoe Brothers. Jay and Mark Briscoe were scheduled to participate in PWG's third anniversary show, "Threemendous," this past weekend, but were unable to appear. Because of their failures to honor their PWG commitments, Commissioner Winwood has removed them from the tournament, and added an emphatic "And stay out!" for good measure. Taking their place will be two individuals who share a namesake, but are both geographically and stylistically worlds apart. Taking Jay Briscoe's place in the tournament will be "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who will battle Austin Aries on September 2, 2006, the second night of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles tournament. Taking the place of Mark Briscoe, and making his Southern California debut will be Dragon Kid, from Japan's Dragon Gate promotion. Dragon Kid's debut will not be an easy one by any means, as he will face Quicksilver on September 1, 2006, the first night of the tournament. Because of this change, "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen will now face Matt Sydal in the opening round on September 1, 2006.

 

Commissioner Dino Winwood, and all the staff here at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla would like to apologize for these changes, and hope that you, the Guerrilla-going public will find them to be adequate

 

 

The first two nights of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles will also feature: PWG World Champion Joey Ryan, PWG World Tag Team Champions Arrogance (Chris Bosh & Scott Lost,) B-Boy, Excalibur, and Human Tornado, PWG Commissioner Dino Winwood plus some very special guests!

 

--------------------------------------

Ticket & Venue Information

--------------------------------------

 

Now that the tournament lineups are set, that just leaves the details of the show itself. On July 16, 2006 PWG will celebrate our third anniversary with "Threemendous," which will be the last PWG event held at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC. "The Sweatbox," as its affectionately known, has been our home for the past two years, but unfortunately the JCC has signed an exclusive agreement with another client, forcing PWG to find a new home. That is why this announcement is being made beforehand rather at this weekend's event.

 

With that out of the way, we are proud to announce that all three nights of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles will be taking place at American Legion Post #308, located at 7338 Canby Ave., Reseda, CA 91335.

 

Before our fans take to the streets with pitchforks and torches, we would like to inform you, the riotous populous, of a few important facts: American Legion Post #308 is only 19 miles away from the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC, it is easily accessible via public transportation, on site parking is abundant, there is an on site bar, and most importantly, it is air conditioned. If that information does not help you deal with the loss of the JCC, then I'm not sure what will.

 

American Legion Post #308 is somewhat smaller than the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC, so that brings us to our next issue: tickets. Tickets for the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles will be $25, and will be limited to a quantity of 400 per night. Because of the high demand yet limited number of tickets, we will be putting a block of 300 tickets (per each night of the tournament) on sale this weekend at "Threemendous." You will receive your tickets for the event at the time of purchase, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla is not responsible for lost or stolen tickets. The remaining 100 tickets (per night) will be put on sale online for our fans who may not be able to attend "Threemendous." The tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at 12:00PM Pacific Time.

American Legion Post #308

7338 Canby Avenue.

Reseda, CA 91335

 

Getting there by Car -

 

From the South (Los Angeles/Orange County/San Diego)

Take the 405 Northbound to the 101 Interchange, and continue on the 101 Northbound. Exit at Reseda Blvd and turn right to head north on Reseda Blvd. Turn right on Wyandotte St., and turn left on Canby Ave.

 

From the East (Ontario/Riverside/San Bernardino)

Take the 10 Westbound to the 57 Northbound, and continue on to the 210 Interchange. Take the 210 Westbound and merge onto the 134 Westbound, and then merge onto the 101 Northbound. Exit at Reseda Blvd and turn right to head north on Reseda Blvd. Turn right on Wyandotte St., and turn left on Canby Ave.

 

From the North West (Ventura County/Santa Barbara)

Take the 101 Southbound to the Reseda Blvd. exit. Turn left to head north on Reseda Blvd. Turn right on Wyandotte St., and turn left on Canby Ave.

 

From the North (Santa Clarita/Bakersfield/San Francisco)

Take the 5 Southbound to the 405 Interchange, and continue on the 405 Southbound. Take the Sherman Way/Reseda exit, and turn left to head south on Haskell Ave. Turn right on Sherman Way, and turn right on Canby Ave.

 

Getting There By Train -

 

Using your local train line (visit http://www.mta.net if you're not sure,) take the Metro Rail Red Line to Reseda Station then the 240 bus to the Sherman Way stop. Or if you're coming from the north or are just on the Ventura County line, take the Metrolink train to the Northridge Station, then take the Northridge Dash Bus to Sherman Way/Reseda Blvd. stop. The venue is in walking distance from the bus stop. Union Station and the 7th Street Metro Center are both on the Red Line, and are the central points for the Gold, Blue, and Green lines.

 

From Out of Town -

 

If you're flying into the Los Angeles area for the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, there are quite a few options for your lodging and local transportation. The easiest option would be to rent a car, which give you the flexibility of sight seeing on your schedule in the LA area. We understand that's not always an option, so here are a few alternatives:

 

If you'd like to stay in the San Fernando Valley in order to be near the venue, the two closest hotels are:

 

Howard Johnson Express Inn

7432 Reseda Blvd

Reseda, CA 91335

 

Best Western Canoga Park Inn

20122 Vanowen St

Canoga Park, CA 91306

 

From LAX Airport, you can take the Fly Away shuttle bus to Van Nuys Airport (for a small fee,) which is within roughly 2 miles of the venue and both hotels.

 

However, to maximize your stay in the Los Angeles area, we recommend staying in the Universal City area, which is named for its proximity to the Universal Studios Theme Park. There is also a Red Line train station on the Universal Studios property, so you can travel to Reseda for the 2006 BOLA at night, and visit Universal Studios, or travel by train to Hollywood or Downtown LA during the day. The Red Line runs through the Hollywood tourist district, so that area is also an option for hotels.

 

For more information about the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, check out the 2006 BOLA Mini-Site for details!

That's an interesting line-up.

 

Generico vs. Delirious from IWA We're No Joke was a riot and Cabana vs. Disco should be too. Claudio vs. Jack strikes me as a bit of a style clash personally, which'll either be really good or really awkward.

 

Early prediction is either Scorpio or Davey to win.

[The Mandarin 0]

Fuck yeah. That's a doozy of a match; no wonder it was last to be added. I'm glad that Super Dragon made it in.

 

My tournament predictions-

 

Sabin over Cabana

Generico over Delirious

CIMA over M-Dogg

Steen over Sydal

Dragon Kid over Quicksilver

Strong over Romero

Update: 6/6 so far. Good work, me.

 

Richards over Perkins

Aries over Disco

Castagnoli over Evans

Hero over Horiguchi

Super Dragon over Necro Butcher

Scorpio Sky over Kazarian

 

Generico over Cabana

Steen over CIMA

Strong over Dragon Kid

Richards over Aries

Castagnoli over Hero

Scorpio over Dragon

 

Steen over Generico

Richards over Strong

Scorpio over Castagnoli

 

Sky over Richards, Steen to win the tournament.

[The Mandarin 0]

Holy shit.

[Star Ocean 3 0]

I was annoyed and embarassed when I realized this has been going on and I didn't even know about, so I went to Threemendous and sweat like all the other PWG fans. Now I wait.

[King Cucaracha 0]

As usual, they've made sure the changes are for the better. Koslov's got a lot of potential, but Aries is naturally a bigger star. The Briscoes I'm not that interested in anyway to be honest. Plus it means AmDrag is in.

[Bruce Blank 0]

Name wise they've definitly traded up and Dragon Kid? I love this guy, man it sucks to live so damn far away from something like this

07/24 Update

--------------------------------------

 

With Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's third anniversary behind us, our focus is now entirely on the upcoming 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, taking place September 1, 2, & 3 in Reseda, CA. Fans from Southern California and around the world have already purchased over half of the available tickets, so if you plan on attending, buy your tickets soon! We are not designating any quantity of seats for sale at the door, so if we sell out online, that's it. No more tickets will be made available. The only way to guarantee yourself a seat is to pre-purchase tickets now!

 

To buy your tickets online, visit the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles Tickets Page.

 

If you have already purchased your tickets for the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, they will be mailed shortly. We here at PWG appreciate the support of all of our fans, but we would like to extend a special thanks to those fans making a trip to the Los Angeles area especially for the tournament.

 

We would also like to announce the first non-tournament match of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles. On Night One of the tournament, The Dynasty (PWG World Champion Joey Ryan, PWG World Tag Team Champions Chris Bosh and Scott Lost) will join forces with a mystery partner to take on the team of B-Boy, Excalibur, Human Tornado, and a mystery partner hand picked by B-Boy himself! Joey Ryan had to resort to using an ether-soaked rag to defeat B-Boy in the steel cage match at "Threemendous," and rather than pressing criminal charges against the PWG champion, B-Boy decided he wanted revenge, or "a toof for a toof." Joey told PWG Commissioner Dino Winwood that he wouldn't put the title on the line against B-Boy again, and that in September, he may still be "injured" from the steel cage match, so he needs his fellow Dynasty members by his side! Dino's hands were tied, so he left it up to B-Boy, who said "if he's bringing his boys, I'll bring mine."

[Star Ocean 3 0]

well I refuse to use Paypal, so I hope tickets will be left at the door.

New 08/03 Update from PWG, explains a few rules of the tournament and makes SD/Necro a NO DQ match:

 

 

"Fans have been speculating about the rules for the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles tournament, and more specifically, the format of the tournament finals. To put the issue to rest, we offer our latest tournament update:

 

In order to advance in the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles tournament, a competitor must win via Pinfall, Submission, Count Out, or Disqualification. Competitors will receive a 20 count outside of the ring, and standard disqualification rules apply (repeated warnings by the referee, use of foreign objects, etc.) If time expires without a winner, the match will be ruled a draw, and neither competitor will advance in the tournament.

 

All first round matches will have a 30 minute time limit.

 

All second round matches will have a 45 minute time limit.

 

All semifinal matches will have a 60 minute time limit.

 

The tournament final will have no time limit, and will be held under elimination rules. The winner of that match will be crowned 2006 Battle of Los Angeles champion.

 

With those rules in mind, PWG Commissioner Dino Winwood has some updates for a couple of the tournament matches. First, for the opening round match between Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky, all member of The Dynasty are banned from ringside. If any member of The Dynasty does interfere in the match, they will be stripped of their titles and suspended for 90 days. The second update is for the opening round match between Necro Butcher and Super Dragon. After speaking with both competitors, Commissioner Winwood has ruled that this match will be a No Count Out, No Disqualification match. While the tournament rules are intended to level the playing field for everyone involved, both Dragon and Necro have accepted the rules to this match.

 

Finally, a quick update for those fans who are still waiting to purchase their 2006 Battle of Los Angeles tickets. Fans who buy tickets in advance will be allowed into the building first, and will most likely choose the best seats. After they have entered, the remaining quantity of tickets (if any,) will go on sale, and fans who purchase those tickets will then be allowed to enter. So if you'd like to sit in the front row, but haven't bought your tickets yet, now is the time to act. Tickets are going quickly, so don't miss out on your chance to see the biggest PWG event ever!"

Roll Call Time who is going?

New PWG Update: American Dragon out due to injury.

 

"In the world of professional wrestling, there are certain things that are inevitable, and one of those things is that wrestlers will be injured. Unfortunately, this past weekend "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson injured his shoulder in a match with "Classic" Colt Cabana, and after a visit to the emergency room and an MRI, was diagnosed with a shoulder separation. Therefore, he will be unable to compete in the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, and we here at PWG wish Mr. Danielson a speedy recovery. An announcement about his replacement will be made shortly.

 

We understand that some fans are still having issues with their tickets. We apologize for the inconvenience, but due to time constraints, if you have not received your tickets yet, or you have an order problem, it will have to be taken care of on the day of the show. We know that many fans are traveling to Los Angeles, and may have to leave home a few days prior to the event, so we will be unable to fulfill any more ticket orders by mail. If your order has not been fulfilled, or there is a problem with it, please bring your PayPal Order# along with identification to the show with you, and starting at 4PM you will be able to pick up your tickets. If you have had a problem with your ticket order, please email [email protected] with your information and the nature of your problem. We know some fans have emailed PWG at the address given by the PayPal orders, but due to technical issues, we were unable receive them. Again, we apologize for any problems that this may cause.

 

If you have not purchased your tickets yet, seats are still available for all three night, but in extremely limited quantities. If you'd like to be a part of PWG's biggest event ever, arrive early, because seats are sure to go fast!

 

And finally, good news for fans wanting to catch up on the PWG DVD collection; To help celebrate the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, we will be having a DVD sale at the show, where you can purchase any four in stock PWG DVDs for only $40!"

[PsychoDriver 0]

Updated tournament line up, few matches switched around, Rocky Romero added to the field.

 

8/30 Update

 

 

With word of "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson's injury reaching the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla offices a little over 24 hours ago, Commissioner Dino Winwood wasted no time getting on the phone trying to find a replacement. Luckily, one call is all it took, because the first person Commissioner Winwood called was Rocky Romero, who after last year's unsuccesful tournament entry, was looking for another opportunity to be crowned Battle of Los Angeles champion. However, due to the last minute nature of the booking and prior commitments, Rocky Romero will not be available on September 2, the second night of the tournament, when Bryan Danielson was originally scheduled to appear. Because of this unexpected complication, some of the tournament lineups had to be changed, and we hope you, the fans, will find the changes to be for the best. The changes are:

 

Taking Bryan Danielson's place on Night 2 against Austin Aries will be Disco Machine.

Taking Disco Machine's place on Night 1 against "Classic" Colt Cabana will be Chris Sabin.

Taking Chris Sabin's place on Night 1 against Roderick Strong will be Rocky Romero.

 

Again, we hope fans are happy with the changes, and we appreciate your understanding.

 

We would also like to inform fans that we will be offering pre-orders of the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles DVD Release. Each night will be available individually for $15 each, however, as a special offer for fans in attendance this weekend, if you pre-order all three nights of the tournament, it will only be $30, a $15 savings! Fans who would like their copies shipped will be charged an additional $5 per order to cover shipping & handling. If you live in the Los Angeles area, you will have the option of picking up your copies at the next show the DVDs are available at. We expect the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles DVDs to be available in early October.
