Frink, CA – Thousands of years from now, when historians look back at the great stories of this era it is possible that they will see the plight of Davey Richards in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) and draw many similarities to the even older story of Odysseus. For those of you that slept through grade seven, Odysseus was a mighty young warrior who left his home to do battle with enemies in a far off land, and while he was away enduring many hardships, his wife was wooed by suitors who had taken up residence in his home. After many years away, Odysseus returns to Ithaca, slays the suitors, and restores order to his house. While Davey Richards was not married to the PWG World Tag Team Championship, in some some states they could be considered common-law man and wife. Odysseus’ story is an allegory of the plight of Davey Richards, a story which seems to be approaching its third and possibly final act. Will he destroy the men who have embarrassed him and return the House of Richards to its former glory? People of the future know the answer, but the rest of us suckers living in the past will have to find out at PWG’s All Star Weekend IV!Not only will All Star Weekend IV see Davey Richards teaming up with Roderick Strong to take on PWG World Tag Team Champions Super Dragon & B-Boy, but it will also feature all four members of The Dynasty teaming together in the same match for the first time. In the past five months, PWG World Champion Joey Ryan, “Photogenic” Chris Bosh, “The Professional” Scott Lost, and Scorpio Sky have made an enemy out of just about everyone in PWG. But most recently, Joey Ryan piledrove Quicksilver on a steel chair, used a contractual loophole to keep the PWG World Title from Human Tornado, and enlisted The Dynasty’s help to defeat El Generico just days ago at “Horror Business.” And don’t get me started on the effrontery of Scorpio Sky when it comes to Frankie Kazarian. However, on the first night of All Star Weekend IV, The Dynasty will have to face the four men they’ve wronged so grievously, the team of El Generico, Human Tornado, Frankie Kazarian, and Quicksilver, with Candice LeRae in their corner! With all four members of The Dynasty in the ring and Jade Chung at ringside, there will be no backup, there will be no surprise attacks! These two teams will have a level playing field and prove once and for all who is the most dominant force in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla today!
All Star Weekend is traditionally a big event for PWG, and ASW IV is no exception! That is why we are happy to offer our fans a chance to pre-purchase their tickets and save a little money in the process. Tickets are $25 per night, but if you purchase tickets for both nights together, it’s only $40! All Star Weekend IV will be held at American Legion Post 308 in Reseda, CA, and fans who were in attendance for the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles know how crowded it was. That is why we will be offering ticket pre-orders online at http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com starting this Saturday, October 28 at 10AM, where fans can buy single night tickets, or a two night package. Tickets will also be available at the door on a first come, first served basis. All Star Weekend IV takes place on Friday, November 17 at 8:00PM and Saturday, November 18 at 5:00PM. Please note the earlier than usual start time for Night Two.
With Davey Richards cashing in his 2006 Battle of Los Angeles wildcard and The Dynasty potentially paying the piper in ponderous proportions, an alliteration which here means “being bruised quite violently,” what more could the first night offer? I’m glad you asked, because Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s All Star Weekend IV – Night One will feature:
PWG World Tag Team Title Match
Super Dragon & B-Boy (c) vs. Davey Richards & Roderick Strong
8-Men Tag Team Battle
The Dynasty (Chris Bosh, Scott Lost, Joey Ryan, & Scorpio Sky {w/ Jade Chung}) vs. El Generico, The Human Tornado, Frankie Kazarian, & Quicksilver (w/ Candice LeRae)
All Star Weekend Return Match
Rocky Romero vs. Samoa Joe
– In an unprecedented move for his administration, PWG Commissioner Dino Winwood extended the olive branch to Samoa Joe and offered him a clean slate if he wanted to return to the PWG ring. The Samoan Submission Machine jumped at the chance, but perhaps a bit too quickly. There’s not much that can make the big man flinch, even for a second, but when he found out he was facing his former training partner Rocky Romero, the commissioner swears Joe took a moment to consider the match. While it is more likely that Samoa Joe was smashing coconuts with his head, the fact remains that he has his work cut out for him with the Havana Pitbull Rocky Romero!
“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles vs. “The Man That Gravity Forgot” Pac
– It’s hard to say what fans will be looking forward to more, the return of former PWG World Champion AJ Styles, or the debut of the British high flyer who is taking the world by storm, Pac. While some may think “The Man That Gravity Forgot” is just a title, Pac intends to prove to PWG fans that it is a factual statement, not just a clever nickname. Will his aerial assault be enough to defeat the former PWG champion, or will AJ Styles prove that it takes more than gravity looking the other way in order to visit the pay window?
“The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels vs. “Notorious 187” Homicide
– Christopher Daniels has been absent from PWG for over seven months now, and in that time he has been engaged in a brutal feud with Homicide, and now their battle comes to PWG! Since he’s been gone, Daniels has been forced to adapt his style of wrestling to match Homicide’s intensity and unpredictability. But has he strayed far enough from his traditional wrestling roots to defeat the brawler from BedStuy? Or will The Fallen Angel be just another victim as Homicide continues to brutalize all opponents since making his return to PWG?
ZERO1-MAX International Lightweight Tag Champions In Action!
Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley vs. MDogg20 & Josh Prohibition
“Classic” Colt Cabana vs. “Canadian Destroyer” Petey Williams
“The Anarchist” Arik Cannon vs. Ronin
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s All Star Weekend IV – Night One takes place at American Legion Post #308 on Friday, November 17, 2006 at 8:00PM. The American Legion Post #308 is located at 7338 Canby Ave., Reseda, CA 91335. Tickets are $25 each, or $40 for both nights, and will be available for pre-order online at http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com.
=======================================================
With a blockbuster lineup like that in store for Night One, what could possibly be in store for Night Two? We’re glad you asked.
All Star Weekend IV – Night Two takes place on Saturday, November 18 at 5:00PM at American Legion Post 308 in Reseda, CA, and will feature:
4-Way PWG World Tag Team Title Match
Super Dragon & B-Boy vs. Davey Richards & Roderick Strong vs. The Kings of Wrestling (Claudio Castagnoli & Chris Hero) vs. Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley
– No matter who walks away from Night One with the PWG World Tag Team Titles, they will have to put the belts on the line less than 24 hours later! As if that weren’t bad enough, add in a team getting a rematch, a pair of international tag team champions and a pair of the triple crown tag team champions and you have the most monumental PWG World Tag Team Title defense in company history!
PWG World Championship Match
Joey Ryan (c) vs. Quicksilver
– When Joey Ryan attacked Quicksilver and put him out of action for 6 weeks, he may have forgotten just who exactly Quicksilver was friends with. Kneeling beside Quicksilver’s hospital bed, Commissioner Dino Winwood swore he would have revenge for his fallen comrade, but just as Dino was storming out of the ICU for his date with destiny, Quicksilver awoke (from what Dino thought was a coma, but in reality was a mid afternoon nap) and talked some sense into the vengeful Commish. While the scene at All Star Weekend IV – Night Two may lack the narrative conventions of a motion picture, there will be drama, and there will be intrigue, and who knows; a victory for Quicksilver may spark a celebration that would make Thornton Melon jealous!
Rocky Romero vs. “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles
– When these two met for the first time at PWG’s One Year Anniversary show, “Reason For The Season,” the set the bar even higher for the level of competition in PWG. Now both men have had two years to hone their craft and think about what they did right (in AJ Styles’ case) and wrong (in Rocky Romero’s case) and will now meet on the second night of All Star Weekend IV in what may end up being one of the most highly anticipated rematches in PWG history!
El Generico vs. “The Man That Gravity Forgot” Pac
Arrogance (Chris Bosh & Scott Lost) vs. MDogg20 & Josh Prohibition
Homicide vs. Scorpio Sky (w/ Jade Chung)
– When B-Boy asked him to watch his back at the 2006 Battle of Los Angeles, Homicide was a bit unsure of what to expect. But after The Dynasty denied Homicide a chance at reclaiming the PWG World Tag Team Titles, it became personal. Now Homicide embarks on a crusade of his own to dismantle The Dynasty, and unfortunately for Scorpio Sky, he’s the first Dynasty member in the Notorious 187’s sights.
“Classic” Colt Cabana vs. “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels
Human Tornado (w/ Candice LeRae) vs. “Canadian Destroyer” Petey Williams
Jimmy Jacobs vs. Ronin
