Saddleback Butte, CA – At the conclusion of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s ( http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) last event, “Teen Outreach Summit,” two facts were quite clear amid all the pandemonium: Joey Ryan is either the smartest or luckiest man in PWG, and Super Dragon has gone completely crazy. First, our PWG Champion, Joey Ryan. At “Teen Outreach Summit” Chris Sabin and Kevin Steen were to meet in a match that would determine the number one contender for Joey Ryan’s PWG Championship. Steen opted to have a Number One Contender match instead a rematch for the title, to see if he was prepared to battle for the belt after taking time off to recuperate from Guerrilla Warfare match in December. Sabin, who is on the fast track to success in PWG, defeated B-Boy in a grueling 2-Out-Of-3-Falls match in early January, and seemed a natural choice to be in the running for the championship. It was the track record of both competitors that caused Joey Ryan to interject himself in this match, causing it to be ruled a No Contest. Later that night, Joey would fake a knee injury and get himself counted out of the ring in his match with Chris Bosh, knowing full well that the title can only change hands after a pinfall or submission. Joey Ryan was going to leave “Teen Outreach Summit” as PWG champion, and apparently he would be without any top contenders for the belt.This prompted PWG Commissioner Dino Winwood to make an on the spot ruling, deciding that Joey’s next title defense would be an honest one. A match with so little wiggle room that it would take someone with the seemingly dislocatable hips of Shakira to escape from its vice like grip on the competitors. No, it’s not the prohibitively expensive Steel Cage match. It is, however, a match that will feature Joey Ryan putting his PWG Championship on the line against the three men he wronged at “Teen Outreach Summit,” Chris Bosh, Chris Sabin, and Kevin Steen. Commissioner Winwood has decided that this match is Single Elimination, so Joey Ryan does not have to be pinned or submit in order to lose the title. We here at the PWG Office hope that Joey Ryan invested in an Ab Roller with his Championship Bonus, because that’s the only way he’ll be in Shakira-esque shape by February 4.
On to PWG’s resident mad man and one half of our Tag Team Champions, Super Dragon. Just 24 hours before “Teen Outreach Summit,” Commissioner Winwood was notified that due to illness, AJ Styles would be unable make his scheduled Tag Team Championship match, and that a replacement would have to be found. The Commish, after being blackballed in Hollywood for his unflattering portrayal of John Belushi, determined via complicated algorithms that Los Luchas (Phoenix Star & Zokre) deserved a shot at the tag titles, and that they would receive one. This did not cause the Super Dragon & Davey Richards steamroller to flinch one tiny iota, since they beat Los Luchas so viciously that they were unable to answer the referee’s 20 count, giving Dragon & Richards an easy victory. Dragon, possibly incensed by a lack of competition, too much hot sauce on his burrito, or for no reason at all, savagely attacked both Phoenix Star and Zokre after the bell, got in to a minor scuffle with partner Davey Richards, and ultimately called in a second referee to count a pinfall on his unconscious opponent.
One cannot say what lurks within the dark recesses of Super Dragon’s mind, however his insanity (over confidence?) may end up costing himself and Davey Richards the PWG Tag Team Titles. And it could very easily happen on February 4, when the champions put their titles on the line against the dream team of “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels and “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Daniels & Styles come in to the match with nearly 20 years of combined in ring experience, and clearly have the edge in that department, yet Dragon & Richards have been on such a tremendous roll lately, obliterating the competition at every opportunity. Will Dragon’s carelessness cost his team the titles, or will Daniels & Styles be overwhelmed by the rampaging force of the champions? There’s only one way to find out for sure, and that is to be at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC on February 4, 2006 at 7:00PM for PWG’s “Permanent Vacation!”
We regret to inform fans that due to an injury suffered in his match with Jimmy Yang at “Teen Outreach Summit,” Scott Lost will be unable to wrestle on February 4th.
