Updated Info For PWG's "European Vacation"
By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer
Geneva, Switzerland - It was not long ago when the idea of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (
http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) holding events in Europe seemed like nothing more than the typical outlandish ideas tossed about the PWG offices. Sure, it was more reasonable than trying to hold an entire show under water, and much more cost effective than the solid gold ring posts, but still, the idea was outlandish. Until, that is, PWG Commissioner
Dino Winwood met with a financial consultant and Most Money Making Man
Claudio Castagnoli and determined that it was financially possible, and it was something that PWG should do as a part of its growth process. You know, like when your parents let you go ride your bike up to the end of the street for the first time. Growth. So shortly after that, the decision to move ahead with projects codenamed "The Italian Job" and "The French Connection" were set in motion, and PWG's "European Vacation," taking place Saturday, 18 February at The Musikpalette in Essen, Germany and Sunday, 19 February at Orpington Halls in Orpington, Kent, England, was born!
However, it would not be a PWG event if our "European Vacation" did not have its share of turbulence, so it is our unfortunate duty to announce that
Jack Evans will be unable to attend either night of the "European Vacation." Jack will be returning to Japan to wrestle with Dragon Gate, and we wish him the best of luck, and hope he brings us back some cool stuff. Fear not, loyal European PWG fans, because Commissioner Winwood is a man who is slowly becoming known for thinking on his feet, and has made some changes to both cards that he thinks you will enjoy. If not, you can go fall into a well, which we hear is a major problem over there.
The changes to PWG's "European Vacation" on 18 February in Essen are:
- Thanks to their recent win streak and all around unstoppable nature, PWG Tag Team Champions
Davey Richards &
Super Dragon will now be defending their titles against the team known as Cape Fear,
El Generico &
Quicksilver! Cape Fear has provided the champs with their toughest challenge so far during their title reign, so they have been given another shot at the titles, and German fans will get another chance to see Super Dragon & El Generico face off in Essen!
- Now that
Top Gun Talwar has lost his partners, he needed to find some suitable replacements, and after perusing a Dutch Weight Lifting & Recreational Drug Use Magazine, asked
Tengkwa and
Tommy End, and they accepted! The TE-T-TGT trio will take on the team of
Disco Machine,
Excalibur, and
Ronin!
-
Ricky Reyes, who has been absent from PWG lately, was looking for a chance to remind fans why he is such a feared competitor by kicking in the face of "Mr. Wrestling"
Kevin Steen. Unfortunately for Reyes, because of Commissioner Winwood's staunch anti-Communism stance, that opportunity was taken away from, and now he will have to content himself with trying to remodel the face of one half of the High Class Catch Club,
Baron Von Hagen!
- But now it appears that Kevin Steen,
Jonny Storm,
Jody Fleisch, and
AJ Styles are all without matches. Despite Jonny Storm's insistence that fans would much rather hear him read from his book, "The World's Greatest Pick Up Lines, Luv," Dino decided that all four men would meet in a 4-Way Elimination Match! Wie exotisch!

The changes to PWG's "European Vacation" on 19 February in Orpington are:
-
Ricky Reyes, once again thanks to his pro-Communism views, will no longer be facing the hard hitting
Roderick Strong, but instead will battle the even harder hitting IPW:UK Champion,
Martin Stone. Both men are known for brutalizing their opponents, so if Reyes survives his battle with the Baron in Essen, he will certainly have his work cut out for him with Martin Stone.
- Unfortunate for fans who wet their pants in anticipation for the High Flyer Dream Match,
Jack Evans will be unable to face "The Phoenix"
Jody Fleisch at "European Vacation." However, Jack has hand picked his replacement in the match, and it is none other than his tag team partner Roderick Strong who will now face off with the world famous English aerialist.
