Source-derived summary

PWG Anniversary Show was an annual professional wrestling event produced by Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). This event was usually held in July every year to commemorate the anniversary of PWG's debut event on July 26, 2003. There was only two instances where the event has been held in other months than July. The 2013 edition was held in August while the 2021 edition was held in September.

It was not specifically called the "anniversary show" and has undergone many names. The most common name is Threemendous, which was first used to celebrate the promotion's third anniversary in 2006. PWG has used this name for its anniversary events on a few more occasions.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “PWG Anniversary Show” is annual supercard event by PWG. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Anniversary, Show and annual, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2003, 2013, 2021, 2006—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Anniversary, Show and annual is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “annual supercard event by PWG” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q116056766. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2013, 2021 and 2006.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
