When: Saturday, July 14, 2007 8pm

Full Contact Wrestling (FCW) is proud to announce their return to Los Angeles on Saturday July 14 at the LA Sports Arena. After selling out the world famous Grand Olympic Auditorium 4 times between 2004 and 2005, FCW was left homeless when the historic building was sold. After bouncing around different arenas in 2006 and early 2007, FCW has finally found a new place to call home. FCW president Raul Altamirano had this to say about their return to Los Angeles. "The Lucha fans in Los Angeles are the greatest in the United States! I'm so proud to be bringing the biggest names of Lucha Libre in from Mexico to the LA Sports Arena. So many great matches have taken place in this building, and FCW will continue that tradition." Not only will it be a night of great matches, it will also be a night of firsts. The main event is what is called in Mexico "La Jaula de la Muerte" or “Cage of Death! 8 men will enter the steel cage. The goal is to leave the cage, with the last man remaining losing either his hair or mask! "Someone will definitely be losing his mask or hair" Raul said. "This is the first time this type of match has ever been done in the United States, and only FCW could make it happen," he went on to say. Signed for the cage match are El Santo, Rey Misterio, El Hijo de Rey Misterio, La Parka, Psicosis, Cassandro, Pentagon Black and Gran Hamada. For the semi main event, FCW will present "Lucha Atomica", pitting the team of Mil Mascaras, Dos Caras and Psicodelico Jr. and a Mystery Partner vs. Los Dinamita teaming with El Hijo de Cien Caras (making his FCW debut). In addition, the legendary Perro Aguayo will make his FCW debut with a special announcement for the crowd. "We've been trying to bring Perro to FCW for over 3 years," Raul said. "I finally had to fly to Mexico and talk to him face to face before I could persuade him to come." In another first, new FCW World Tag Team Champions will be crowned this night in a fatal 4-way match! The teams of Los Luchas, The Young Bucks, Los Chivos and Supreme/Pogo will battle it out. The winners will be crowned the new FCW champs! In addition, Hall of Famer Mando Guerrero will preside over the match and present the belts to the winners. "It's really an honor to have someone like Mando Guerrero involved in this match. The Guerrero family has done so much for both professional wrestling and Lucha Libre" Raul said. The show will also feature Vampiro, Cyanide, Lil Cholo, Aaron "Jesus" Aguilera, Luke Hawx, Scott Snott, Los Sanchos, the Ballard Brothers and more! For more info go to www.fcwlive.com.
