For immediate release - OCTOBER 31, 2002:
In the ever fluid nature of pro wrestling booking, there have many BIG changes for "Home of the Brave 2,"........GREAT changes.
First, UPW is proud to announce the appearance of none other than Shinjiro Otani and Masato Tanaka, two of the very best in the world. This legendary and dynamic team comes all the way from Japan, fresh after big stints in All Japan and their home company, Zero-One. Otani & Tanaka have requested.....no, demanded.....a match-up with the team that has given them so much trouble at Zero-One, UPW's first-ever Heavyweight Champion, Sylvester "Predator" Terkay and UPW's current Heavyweight Champion, Tom Howard. UPW has honored this demand and what promises to be one of the hardest-hitting matches in UPW history has been made. This Wednesday, November 6, at The Galaxy.
These exciting developments have caused some BIG shake-ups at Home of the Brave. The full card is listed below....
At press time, we're still awaiting final word on confirming that SPANKY will be making his final independent appearance in California before starting on Smackdown. Spanky himself called UPW and asked to be added to the card. He has challenged Frankie Kazarian, hoping to break their 1-fall-to-fall tie at their 3-way dance with B-Boy at The Galaxy in August. Providing Spanky does make it to Home of the Brave, where does this leave B-Boy, who lost to neither man? Or for that matter, Mikey Henderson, Kid Vicious and Shaolin Punk, all of whom are waiting in the wings.
With Howard joining Terkay, this once again leaves Hardkore Kiodd without his title shot. Instead, Hardkore goes mano-a-mano for the third time against Al Katrazz, in what has become a very heated program. Hardkore and Al have now split 1-to-1 in their electric "falls count anywhere" contests, first at The Galaxy in April and then in Laughlin in October. This time, they're going for "respect." The winner of what will be third and final falls count anywhere match-up, must make the loser say that he respects him!
The conditions for the Women's Royal Rumble have been changed. Previously, UPW had announced that the 2 finalists woule meet at January 30's "4th Anniversary Show" to determine the Champion. UPW has revamped these conditions. A winner will be declared at Home of The Brave and this winner will be declared the #1 Contender, to the eventual Women's Champion, who will be decided on January 30, at The Galaxy. The competitors for the Rumble at Home of the Brave have been finalized. They are:
Rio Storm, Looney Lane, Melissa Coates, Savvy, Erica "Jungle Grrrl" Porter, Heather "Teri Gold" Millard and Tough Enough's Anni King.
All in all, Home of the Brave promises to be an amazing evening, comprised of what undoubtedly is the strongest card in Southern California this year.

Wednesday, November 6 Galaxy Concert Theatre Tickets now available at Ticketmaster & Galaxy Box Office
UPW and Sonicfish Werlcast Productions Inc. return to The Galaxy Concert Theatre on Wednesday, November 6, with an action-packed card full of top-notch wrestling action, great production, and performances by two exciting up-and-coming bands. The evening will kick off at 7:30pm sharp, as Sonicfish Inc. presents its first of the evening's two big musical performances, "The Redneck Rolemodels" which features UPW Urban Outlaws entrance theme and "Bluefish" a Southern California and Galaxy Concert Theatre favorite. At 8:00 pm, UPW will take the stage with the first of 10 BIG wrestling matches, featuring what has often been called "the greatest assemblage of independent wrestling talent in the world." At the conclusion of Home of the Brave's wrestling action, Sonicfish Inc will host an after party, as it presents its second live musical performance. Founded in December of 1998, UPW is one of the best-established independent wrestling companies in the world. In celebration of its longevity and its commitment to the future, UPW, in the tradition of WWE, will beginning with November 6, hold 4 annual cards. In this new "tradition," the November 6 Galaxy show will be called "Home of the Brave," which was introduced last November at The El Rey Theatre in Hollywood. Home of the Brave will feature the return to UPW of Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels, the UPW debut of Steve Corino (coming in a day early to avoid problems at the airport!), defenses of all 3 UPW Championships, featuring our Champions Tom Howard, The Ballards and Frankie Kazarian, as well as the first rounds to determines 2 new UPW Championships! UPW abandoned its Women's Championship in 2000 due to a lack of depth on the SoCal scene. Now, with a BIG influx of solid women's talent to Ultimate University, UPW will be re-establishing its Women's Championship. First up is an invitational Battle Royal on November 6. The two finalists will face each other at "Season's Beatings," UPW's 4th Anniversary Show, this coming winter, where the winner will be crowned the new UPW Women's Champion. In the tradition of the very popular 6-man tag tournaments in Japan, November 6's Home of the Brave will also feature 2 matches in the first round of the tournament for UPW's 6-man Tag Championship. Teams entered thus far include The Outlaws (Mike Knox, Marshall Knox & Hollywood), Hardkore, Inc. (Hardkore Kidd, Kid Vicious & Al Katrazz), Savage (Samoa Joe, Skulu and Solo Snuka), The University (featuring 3 upcoming students of Ultimate University), The Unholy Alliance (Predator, Horshu & Jack Bull) and The Thrillas (Funky Billy Kim, Scott Lost & Joey Ryan). Two additional teams are expected to be named soon.
