Back in March, while pledging his allegiance to Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society, Daniel Garcia told us that he’s not a pro wrestler — he’s a sports entertainer.
Is that why he just won Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s World title? Eh... Garcia was doing pretty well for himself in the beloved Southern California independent back when he was still a pro wrestler. He won their Battle of Los Angeles tournament just a few months ago. But he used a few things Jericho would probably tell us he invented en route to pinning Bandido at Delivering The Goods in Los Angeles’ Globe Theater last night (Sun., May 1), namely a low blow and some spinning forearms. He ended the luchador’s pandemic-extended two-plus year reign with a Sharpshooter.

Afterwards, Garcia challenged DDT’s Konosuke Takeshita, who is on a tour of the United States — including AEW.

Keep a good thought for Mark Briscoe and his family. The Briscoes were scheduled to work this show and a GCW show last weekend, but pulled out due to complications with Mark’s wife’s pregnancy.
