Yorba Linda, CA – Imagine for a moment that you are a professional wrestler, assuming that you are not. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you are not a professional wrestler, since most professional wrestlers suffer from mild dyslexia or are functionally illiterate. It’s true, I read it in a book. Anyway, as your imagination begins to wander, imagine that you are one half of the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) World Tag Team Champions. Continue to follow your mind down that same path, and now imagine you successfully defended your titles against Roderick Strong & Davey Richards on February 10, 2007. Now imagine the price you would pay to continue calling yourself champion. Quicksilver doesn’t have to imagine, because he suffered a Grade 2 concussion as he and El Generico went on to retain the titles that evening. Days later, Quicksilver is still paying the price.After the match with Roderick Strong & Davey Richards, Quicksilver was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, but was cleared and released later that evening. Confident he would be in peak condition to help defend Cape Fear’s titles, he agreed to take on the team of Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley, the “Motor City Machine Guns,” at “Holy Diver Down,” taking place February 24, 2007 at the Van Nuys Armory. Days after announcing the lineup for “Holy Diver Down,” Quicksilver was still suffering from dizziness and nausea, and sought a second opinion. The diagnosis was not one he wanted to hear; Quicksilver was advised by his physician not to wrestle on February 24, and that he would need to undergo further testing to determine when he would be fit to return to the ring.
With injuries plaguing the PWG locker room, Commissioner Dino Winwood has been given the unenviable task of reorganizing the entire lineup. However, with PWG heading toward its fourth year of operation, Dino’s confidence in his match making ability is at an all time high. We hope you are as satisfied with the lineup changes as Commissioner Winwood is.
“Holy Diver Down” takes place on Saturday, February 24, 2007 at the Van Nuys Armory in Van Nuys, CA, and will feature:
PWG World Championship Match
Human Tornado (c) vs. El Generico
— With El Generico’s current tag team partner sidelined, Commissioner Winwood has given him the opportunity to face off with his former tag team partner! El Generico and PWG World Champion Human Tornado have only met once in singles competition, with El Generico coming away victorious. Now in their second encounter, the stakes can’t get any higher for Human Tornado! With both participants being heavy fan favorites, will the support of the crowd factor on, or will this match be a true contest of professional wrestling skill?
Special Attraction Match
“The Man That Gravity Forgot” PAC vs. “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen
Tag Team Dream Match
Arrogance (“Photogenic” Chris Bosh & Scott Lost) vs. The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley)
— When these two teams were part of a six-man tag team match in December 2006, Chris Bosh & Scott Lost‘s side came out on top. But now Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley are out to prove that they earned the ZERO1-MAX International Lightweight Tag Team Titles, and that they are unstoppable in two-on-two competition.
Holy War Grudge Match
Joey Ryan vs. Taliban Talwar
RBTT2007BOLAT (Ronin’s Battle to the 2007 Battle of Los Angeles Tour)
