Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) was an American professional wrestling promotion based in Los Angeles, California. As of 2024, it is on an extended hiatus. It was created by pro wrestlers Disco Machine, Excalibur, Scott Lost, Joey Ryan, Super Dragon, and Top Gun Talwar. Since then, Disco, Talwar, Ryan and Lost have retired and left the company.
The promotion debuted on July 26, 2003, and became known for its unique mix of humor and pro wrestling as well as their over-the-top press releases and show titles, such as "Kee_ The _ee Out of Our _ool!", "Free Admission (Just Kidding)", "Straight to DVD" and "From Parts Well Known". In 2016, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter called PWG "the best wrestling in North America".
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla commonly ran shows every month, which were then usually sold via DVD and Blu-ray. The promotion's flagship event, The Battle of Los Angeles, was held annually between August and September. Co-owners Excalibur and Super Dragon were responsible for all behind-the-scenes details. Excalibur was a graphic designer and created the website and DVD cover artwork; Super Dragon was the sole booker since 2010, along with editing shows and composing YouTube previews.
