Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) is an American independent professional wrestling promotion that is run by wrestlers themselves as it was created by Southern California wrestlers Disco Machine, Excalibur, Joey Ryan, Scott Lost, Super Dragon, and Top Gun Talwar. Since then, Disco, Talwar and Lost have retired and left the company. Since 2007, Excalibur has been the head play-by-play commentator, with a rotation of wrestlers on color commentary.
The promotion debuted on July 26, 2003, and is known for its unique mixes of humor and professional wrestling as well as their over the top press releases and show titles, such as Kee_ The _ee Out of Our _ool!, Taste the Radness, Free Admission (Just Kidding), Straight to DVD, Steen Wolf, Black Cole Sun, From Parts Well Known, and Matt Rushmore.
In 2016, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter called PWG "the best wrestling in North America".
In May 2003, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla announced its first show that would take place on July 26. The promotion released an online press release announcing the show's main event that would feature what would have been the first match to take place between A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe. PWG announced more matches in the weeks leading up to their debut event, featuring a mix of well known independent wrestlers and many local Southern California stars. Due to injuries and booking conflicts, the card ended up being changed several times. Samoa Joe was unable to compete in the promotion's debut show because of an injury he suffered in a match with Paul London at a Ring of Honor event a few weeks earlier. He ended up being replaced by Frankie Kazarian.
