WRESTLING NEWS ROUNDUP A ton of news came out today from around the wrestling leading to what should be a very busy summer filled with big shows. Leading the way were several announcements from Warrior Pro Wrestling: - The company announced that this year’s Golden Gate Tournament will be pushed out to mid-July. No official reason was given, but the plan as of now seems to be to hold Warriorversary immediately afterward per usual, likely sometime in September. It was stated that the participants will be announced via posted interviews on warriorprowrestling.com beginning next week.
- With the delay in the G2, the company also announced the long awaited Women’s One Night Tournament- which will be taking place next week, June 16th at 5:30pm PT LIVE from Gorilla Hall. The tournament will feature the entire current Warrior Pro women’s roster plus a few surprise guests from outside promotions. Officials stated the full details, including a list of participants, would be released later this week. - An injury update on John Logan revealed his post match injury attack resulted in 2 broken ribs and two more cracked. He is expected to miss the G2, with an eye towards Warriorversary as a return target. Warrior Pro announced that both Colossus Rhodes and Paco Pequeno have been suspended indefinitely for their roles in the attack. As of now there has been no comment from Paco or Rhodes regarding the suspension. Other news from around the world... ------------------------------------------------ Lucha POWER announced a card for this Friday. This would be the first show since February for the company, when El Macho quietly had surgery on a long ailing hip. While still recovering, the long time owner is doing well and expected to make a full recovery and return to the ring. The promotion announced a slew of summer dates, with this week’s show meant to kick things off. Lucha POWER Presents: House Show #2:Doctor Dorado vs Vaquero Hexagon Jr vs Super Mohan Los Terribles (Pantero/Lobo) vs Dungeon Dominguez & Jack Gold (w/Paco) Lucha POWER Championship: Diego Guerrero (c) vs Nightmare Clown ------------------------------------------------ Dragon Fire Japan has been running small shows off and on since its big New Years tournament, but Covid has hampered any real touring. That looks to change with a new summer schedule that should see regular action for the promotion. This weekend’s show should be a good one, with Kenta Aoki finally defending the newly introduced Heavyweight Championship belt. Dragon Fire Japan: Ring of Fire #1Jett Ohtani/Toa Malosi vs Park Hyun Woo/Masahiro Suzuki Roy Carter vs Koji Sawada (Lightning Pro) Koji Tanaka vs Hideki Nomo Dragon Fire Heavyweight Championship: Kenta Aoki (c) vs Dragon Mask II

After years of rumors, signings, and showcase matches, Warrior Pro Wrestling officially kicks off its women's division with a one night tournament to crown the companies first ever champion. The tournament will consist of all current women under Warrior Pro contract plus a few well known outsiders from familiar organizations. The tournament will be elimination with the Brackets and first round match-ups as follows: Della Wyatt vs Lizzy Jett Pam from Human Resources (STRUGGLE) vs Fiona Walsh
Dash Yamada vs Viper Lopez Annie Chang (PEWA) vs June Allgood (iWe) There will be story lines coming out of this tournament for sure, but maybe the single most intriguing involves the promotion's two biggest signings..
Sitting on opposite ends of the bracket are Dash Yamada and Della Wyatt- who have a bitter feud both in and out of the ring dating back to their respective runs in Japan. Wyatt (the older step sister to Doc- who she also does not get along with) famously back out of a main event with Crusher Honda back in 2012 simply because Dash was on the card. Its unclear how Tank managed to sign both at the same time, but neither woman would comment regarding the other-and while they've met in the ring before in a pair of time limit draws- its clear theres something going on there.
The tournament kicks off WEDNESDAY NIGHT at 5:30pm PT LIVE ON TWITCH

Its finally here, the event that kicked off Warrior Pro Wrestling back in 2018- the 5th Annual Golden Gate Tournament gets started this week with a huge Night One card. Both men’s titles are on the line, with the Main Event putting the Doc vs Vic trilogy match inside a Steel Cage. As for the tournament? Both blocks will be fighting for a spot in the Finals, with a World Title opportunity on the line at Warriorversary 4. The G2 follows its typical block scoring rules- two points for a win, one for a draw. Tie breakers are settled based on head to head record. Block winners will meet at the finals for a show at the World Champ at Warriorversary. All nights will take place at Gorilla Hall with the Finals moving outdoors to Moffett Field Arena. The action kicks off THIS THURSDAY (7/14) at 5:30pm ON TWITCHNight One Preview: A BlockRed Masterson vs Trey TaylorRed’s lone tournament was two years ago where we was a hair short of making the finals- this year he sits as the block favorite, taking on first time tourney participant Trey Taylor. Can Red start the tournament on a strong note or will we get this whole thing kicked off with a bracket busting upset? Tupac Machine vs Super MohanTwo vets from outside Warrior Pro battle it out to see who can get an early leg up in the block. Tupac is a known submission expert, but he’ll have to catch the faster luchadore first. This should be a fun contrast in styles to help establish the winner as a newcomer to be taken seriously. Jimmy Hawkins vs Jack GoldThis could be a dark horse vote for match of the night pitting two young high flyers against one another. Hawkins has been holding onto the label of “rising star” since he joined the promotion- getting off to a good start will go a long ways towards shedding his label as an underachiever in these tournaments. Jack Gold returns to his old stomping grounds for his first G2, hoping to take the next step in his own career. Expect this one to be blazing fast with a hot finish. B BlockBrick Casey vs Byron WorthyB Block kicks off with Brick Casey’s return to regular action for the first time in over a year, taking on Byron Worthy. For Brick, this is potentially his last shot at a real world title run. For Worthy, it could be the start of many. The story here is whether the former NCAA champion wrestler can get the 400 pound man off his feet and keep in off of them. If “Prime Time” can do that, he’ll have a shot at jumping out of the gate with a win. If not, the powerful vet could be taking his first step towards the top of the block. Markus Winter vs Boss Ross ForemanBoss Ross one his spot in this tournament by proxy, but he’ll have to fight this match himself. The recent Big Gold Buckle Winner brings an impressive resume of strength and power, something Markus Winter is no stranger to himself. The Last Viking almost won his block last year, but he’s going to be fully recovered from his recent shoulder surgery if he wants any chance to repeat that success. Lefty McDaniel vs Rampage HunterThe Warrior Pro President was a surprising entry in this years tournament, with his wrestling schedule severely cut back to allow him to fulfill his front office responsibilities. He’s going to have a full plate on night one, facing the man many favor to win the entire tournament. Lanky will need to use his quickness to avoid Rampage’s obvious strength advantage. The boss is a heavy underdog in this one, but stranger things have happened in the opening night of G2’s before. Tag Team Championship: Music City Wrecking Crew (c) vs Gears of WarA renewed rivalry from two of Japan’s most popular foreign acts as GoW and MCWC face off for the first time in the States. Their head to head record is almost dead even in Japan, so expect a physical, hard hitting affair against two all time great tag teams. World Heavyweight Championship (Cage Match): Doc Wyatt (c) vs Vic BaronThese two have been feuding all year, with both men claiming a win over the other. The third fight will take place in a cage, where we’ll get a final decision on who the better man is. Despite their differences outside of it, inside both men share a similar fight style. Both extremely technically proficient, with deadly submissions and a “win at all costs” mentality. Its anyone’s best guess who walks out on Thursday…

G2 2020: Night 1 The G2 kicked off this year with a show riddled with production issues that caused drama both inside and outside the ring- including a “missed” finish and a match that never happened. That drama overshadowed a night of pretty fantastic wrestling- including some early tournament upsets and a definitive trilogy match for the World Title. For a link to the full show, plus recaps of all the matches that did (and didn’t) happen, and a very interesting post show press conference head HERE

Night Two is almost upon us, and with that the tournament starts to get a feel for who’s going to be contending in each block. After doing a fair amount of media damage control, Lefty McDaniel assured a group of reporters that the production issues that plagued night one have been resolved. Still, rumors persist that iWe/La Guerra owner David Harley remains outraged and has offered a “response” in the coming days... The action kicks off TOMORROW (7/21) at 5:30pm ON TWITCHNight Two Preview: A BlockJack Gold vs Trey TaylorJack Gold will be looking to turn his night one victory into a full blown winning streak against Trey Taylor, who gave Red Masterson all he could handle. This one could go either way, and should be a good opener to get the crowd fired up. Super Mohan vs Jimmy HawkinsBoth Mohan and Hawkins will look to avoid an 0-2 hole by shaking off a close loss last week. Expect this one to be fast paced and all action, with the potential for MotN honors getting doled out right here. Red Masterson vs Tupac MachineTwo popular picks to win the bracket both took care of business last week, and will try and secure what could be an important tie breaker win. Red will need to look sharper than last week if he wants to beat the veteran cruiser weight, while Tupac will need to avoid that monster lariat the big Texan is always looking to dole out. B BlockByron Worthy vs Markus WinterBoth part of of the same graduating training class, Byron Worthy and Markus Winter have had more than a couple battles in the ring over the years. This is likely to be a close physical match, with Markus looking to establish himself at the top of the table while Worthy tries to keep from digging a hole. Boss Ross Foreman vs Lefty McDanielLefty’s shocking upset was one of the (many) story lines from night one, and he’ll have to have a repeat performance if he wants to survive the clubbing style of Boss Ross Foreman. Boss Ross will look to bounce back from last weeks loss where he dominated most of the early match, and to do that he will have to avoid Lefty McDaniels dangerous “Left Handed Scissors” cutter... Rampage Hunter vs Brick CaseyBrick Casey and Rampage close out block action with what is sure to be a brutal slugfest. Rampage is very nearly in must win now mode, but he’ll have to go through Warrior Pro’s biggest obstical in order to do it. Both men know each other extremely well- Rampage was trained by Brick- so expect no surprises, other than maybe a cameo from Brick’s new tag team partner Logan Axlerod at ringside. Tag Team Championship: Music City Wrecking Crew (c) vs Gears of WarMoved from Night One, we’ll finally see old rivals renewed as the Wrecking Crew take on top contenders Gears of War for the first time outside Japan.
