Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's DDT4 on May 17 & 18, 2008
By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer
El
Granada, CA - It has been said on occasion before, and it holds just as
true today as it did then: It wouldn't be a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) event without changes. Unfortunately, those changes directly effect the Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament (DDT4),
taking place on May 17 & 18, 2008 at the Burbank Armory in Burbank,
California. The bad news: One of the teams that many fans were picking
as the favorites to win DDT4 are out. The good news: If you checked the Weekend Independent Wrestling Injury Report in the New York Times and got worried, there's not as many changes as you might expect. The
good-er news: The lineups for the weekend, with both non-tournament and
DDT4 matches, have been announced.
Davey Richards was involved in a car accident that kept him out of action over the
weekend, however, after speaking to Davey, he assured us that he would
take the next few weeks to recuperate, and will be able to compete at DDT4. Also on the injury front, due to a long standing injury that was exacerbated over the weekend, Mark Briscoe has been forced to undergo surgery that will keep him out of action for
a considerable period of time. Pro Wrestling Guerrilla wishes Mark
Briscoe a quick and complete recovery, and look forward to his return. Jay Briscoe declined the opportunity to chose a new partner for the tournament, so
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla management was forced to find a replacement for
the Briscoe Brothers. Luckily, they didn't have to look far, when
minutes after the news of Mark Briscoe's injury broke, an email arrived
in the inbox of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Commissioner of Wrestling Dino Winwood.
While
the exact contents of this email remain undisclosed, a few details have
been made public. First, the sender alleged that they had video of
former PWG Commissioner "SoCal Val" Valerie Wyndham in compromising situations, with "close camera shots, clear audio," and
"perfect lighting." If that wasn't enough, attached to the email was a
photograph that seemed to confirm exactly what the sender had alleged.
Due to his close relationship with Ms. Wyndham, Dino Winwood wanted
desperately to help protect her reputation, and responded asking what
he could do to keep this information out of the public view. No further
details of the conversation have been made public, and Dino Winwood
threw his computer (and monitor, for some reason. I mean, it's not like
you can retrieve emails from the monitor. Now we have to buy a new
one.) out of his third floor window, which luckily was still broken and
covered with just a tarp. With the details of the tournament now
shrouded in mystery, once can only speculate if Dino Winwood was
corresponding with either Shane Matthews or Jagged, members of the team 2.0, who will be making their Pro Wrestling Guerrilla debut and replacing the Briscoe Brothers at DDT4!
While
it wasn't easy to find a team to replace the Briscoes, 2.0's record in
their native Canada, along with an endorsement by former Pro Wrestling
Guerrilla World Champion "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen, Commissioner Winwood is confident that 2.0 will prove to be a worthwhile addition to DDT4.
With all eight teams accounted for, the remaining contracts signed, and
the ink barely dry, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla is proud to announce to
scheduled lineup for DDT4, taking place on Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18, 2008 at the Burbank Armory in Burbank, CA:
