PWG announces dates for Battle of Los Angeles 2019
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla has announced when this year’s Battle of Los Angeles will be taking place.
On Twitter tonight, PWG revealed that the 2019 Battle of Los Angeles will be held on Thursday, September 19, Friday, September 20, and Sunday, September 22. The three-night tournament is usually held on successive days from Friday to Sunday, but there is no show on the Saturday of that weekend this year.
The reason there isn’t a show on that Saturday is because the Globe Theatre in Los Angeles, California, which will host the Battle of Los Angeles, has another event booked that night.
The Battle of Los Angeles has been a 24-wrestler tournament over the past five years. PWG has yet to announce any of this year’s participants.
The winner of the Battle of Los Angeles receives a future shot at the PWG World Championship.
PWG also announced that “Sixteen,” their 16th anniversary show, will take place on Friday, July 26.
