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.
