Bar Wrestling announced three matches for each for its September 12 and 13 shows.

For their September 12 event at 1720 Warehouse in Los Angeles, titled Victims… Aren’t We All, the promotion announced Viper versus Taya Valkyrie, LAX versus Jeff Cobb and Brian Cage, and Tenille Dashwood versus Solo Darling.

At It Can’t Rain All The Time on September 13 at American Legion #241 in Baldwin Park they’ve announced Viper versus Tenille Dashwood, Jeff Cobb versus MJF, and Marko Stunt versus Matt Cross. This will be the Southern California debut for Marko Stunt, who became a viral star after his performance at Joey Janela’s Lost in New York a few weeks ago. PCW Ultra announced Stunt for an upcoming PCW Ultra event as well.

Both of Bar Wrestling’s September show titles are taken from lines in the 1994 film, The Crow.

The September 12 show was originally scheduled to take place at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles but had to be moved to 1720 Warehouse due to a scheduling conflict. The promotion plans on returning to the Bootleg in October.
