Akira Tozawa, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, & more set to return to PWG!


As you probably already know if you follow PWG on Twitter (@OfficialPWG), the upcoming 12th Anniversary show, Threemendous IV, will see a number of returns (and debuts). The most notable being the former TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves will be making their triumphant return to Reseda. Davey Richards has credited PWG for giving him his first big break back in 2005 and he was a noteworthy part of the Guerrilla for many years as he is a former World Champion, Tag Team Champion, AND Battle of Los Angeles Winner. His partner, Eddie Edwards, made his presence felt in Reseda throughout 2011-2013 and it's certainly exciting to know he's coming back. These two had their farewell at All Star Weekend X in December of 2013, both nights of that event are available on PWG's website.

On top of those two, Jack Evans will be making his first PWG appearance since 2008 and the Dragon Gate stalwart Akira Tozawa is going to be coming back as well. I think it's safe to say that international influence that PWG had in 2006-2007 is making a comeback and in a major way. You have Jack Evans & Angelico coming from the Lucha world, Akira Tozawa coming from Japan, plus Marty Scrull & Will Ospreay coming from the UK for BOLA. Not to mention the recent rise of the UK's own Zack Sabre Jr in Reseda. It's really a wonderful thing to see because in my opinion it continues making PWG the must-see non WWE promotion in America as the best of the best on the Indies as well as around the world are under one roof.

With this announcement from PWG comes one of my own. In order to prep for all these returns, I plan to start a column series called "PWG Profiles" where I will take a look back at the past of all the returning competitors. I already have one for Jack Evans in the works and plan to get to work on Davey, Eddie, and Tozawa profiles soon. I figure it will be a cool way for newer fans to learn some about what these men have already done in PWG in route to their return. I also think it will be a nice trip down memory lane for long time fans. So, as the weeks itch closer to Threemendous IV, be on the lookout for those articles! And most importantly, get pumped for a summer of awesome PWG action!
