Goleta, California – Due to one of the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) owners involvement with the Palestine Liberation Organization, PWG was asked to leave the Westside Jewish Community Center following the completion of our last show in December of 2003. While PWG felt this was highly unfair, Joey Ryan’s Invisible Legal Counsel advised that PWG just give up, and move for a change of venue. Thus, PWG is happy to announce that the first ever “Tango & Cash Invitational” will be taking place Saturday Night, January 24, and Sunday Night, January 25 at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge, in Santa Ana, California!The Buddy Movie, without a doubt, is the most important type of film that can be made, with over 200 buddy films made per year. However, Hollywood is slowly eroding the Buddy Movie into mindless tripe. The Tag Team Match, much like the buddy movie, have lost importance recently, and PWG would like to refocus attention back to the gentle art of the Tag Team Buddy Movie Match! In the first tournament of 2004 anywhere in the entire universe, PWG is proud to announce the “Tango & Cash Invitational,” which will crown the first ever Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Tag Team Champions, and the best buddy movie ever made! The tournament matches for Night 1 (Saturday, January 24) are:
The Action/Adventure Bracket
