RVF Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 [quote]New update.. with a mix of good and bad news. Bosh out, NECRO in: 2007 Battle of Los Angeles Takes Place August 31, September 1 & 2 By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer Stewartville, CA - For the last two years, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla has held the Battle of Los Angeles tournament, and for the last two years, each tournament has, due to injury, seen some changes to the lineup. This year will be no exception, as Austin Aries already defeated Rocky "Azucar" Romero, to win Romero's spot in the tournament. Now word has come that an injury to the winner of the 2005 Battle of Los Angeles winner, "Photogenic" Chris Bosh, has forced him out of the tournament. Not only that, but Bosh has decided to take an indefinite leave of absence from Professional Wrestling. In the wake of this news, PWG Commissioner of Professional Wrestling Dino Winwood has decided that the best possible solution is to offer fans a match they were recently deprived of as a first round match 2007 Battle of Los Angeles. Despite his luck at PWG fourth anniversary show, "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen will now face "Mr. Fighting" Necro Butcher in the C Block of the 2007 Battle of Los Angeles. Originally scheduled to take place at Giant-Size Annual #4, the match between Necro Butcher and Kevin Steen was a form of punishment for Kevin Steen's vocal opposition and continual defiance of PWG management. However due to some liquor induced transportation problems, the card for Giant-Size Annual #4 was changed, and Kevin Steen ended up with a shot at the PWG World Tag Team Titles, which he won with partner El Generico. This good fortune did not prevent Steen from running his mouth about Dino Winwood, and as a result, Kevin Steen is once again scheduled to face Necro Butcher, but this time the stakes have been raised exponentially. Necro Butcher's mere presence greatly alters the tournament landscape, not only from a strategic standpoint for the other competitors, but also from a matchmaking standpoint. In order to give the fans the best tournament matches possible, Commissioner of Food & Beverage Excalibur and Commissioner of Wrestling Dino Winwood have altered two other tournament matches. First, on Night One of the tournament former PWG World Tag Team Champion Roderick Strong will now take on Austin Aries, who made his PWG return last month at Giant-Size Annual #4. On Night Two of the tournament, not only will Necro Butcher battle Kevin Steen, but 2006 Battle of Los Angeles winner Davey Richards will face the debuting Nigel McGuinness. We apologize for the changes to the card, and hope that the fans will nonetheless enjoy all three nights of the 2007 Battle of Los Angeles.

Evil_MJ_Hasselhoff Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 ^^Lol Oh man this *censored*ing sucks! Chris Bosh is one of my favorites ever at the moment, and he's one of the best in PWG for sure. I love him because not only is he a great wrestler, but he's f'n hysterical too. I love his comic spots, and I just love the way he wrestles. This is truly a bummer. Hopefully he's like Scorpio Sky and comes again in some sort of angle.

When I first started watching PWG mid to late '05, I was never really impressed by him, but I'm actually a big fan of his now. I really like his style, and how rough he is. Ronin just owns. Hopefully he's in the BOLA now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVF Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ronin lost his place to Joey or someone I believe, which was really anti-climatic considering his push was basically called Ronin's Road to BOLA 2007 or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielson vs Ronin would be a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
