Here are Hero's matches for the weekend.

2008 has been a rough year for the World Champions of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. To start out the year, Bryan Danielson faced, and was defeated by, a surprise challenger to the World title. That challenger was Low Ki, who had his Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship title reign cut short by a knee injury. Low Ki demanded that a one night tournament be held to crown a new champion, vowing to return to Pro Wrestling Guerrilla first after his recovery to reclaim the World title. In the one night tournament, Human Tornado prevailed. Though Tornado was in the midst of a heated rivalry with Chris Hero, Tornado always seemed to maintain the upper hand, and it looked like his rain would be long and fruitful. That is until May, when Human Tornado injured his knee. Tornado refused to abdicate the title and held on to it until July, when in a World Championship Title Guerrilla Warfare match inside a steel cage, Chris Hero defeated Human Tornado for the title.

In his first defense of the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship title, Chris Hero has a monumental task ahead of himself: 4-way match for the title. All three challengers, Eddie Kingston, Low Ki, and Necro Butcher, have staked their claim as the number one contender, and rather than holding a series of matches to determine the true Number One Contender to the title, Commissioner Dino Winwood has decided to let these four sort it out themselves. This means the real winners are the fans in attendance at the first night of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's All Star Weekend 7!

The road to the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship was a long one for Chris Hero, but now that he has finally won the title, he has made it clear that he will defend against anyone that wants a shot. One man that was very quick to accept the offer was "The Man That Gravity Forgot" PAC. While PAC has spent the majority of 2008 in Japan competing for Dragon Gate, The Man That Gravity Forgot would love to have a reason to return to sunny Southern California on a regular basis, and the World Championship would be just such a reason! While everyone, Chris Hero included, would love to see PAC back in Pro Wrestling Guerrila more often, its doubtful that Hero would give up his newly won title in order to facilitate PAC's full-time return.

If Chris Hero retains the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship on Night 1 of All Star Weekend 7, the title will be on the line in this match. If Hero loses the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship on Night 1 of All Star Weekend 7, this match will still take place.

Also scheduled for Night Two

Hero results from the weekend

---

Night One
Hero successfully defended the PWG World Heavyweight Championship in the main event against Eddie Kingston, Low Ki and Necro Butcher in a Four-Way. Hero nailed the Rolling Elbow on Kingston for the win. The finish was a bit heated as Low Ki had Necro locked in the Dragon Sleeper, though Necro didn't give up. While Hero got started on a post-match promo, he and Kingston immediately scuffled which resulted in the microphone getting smashed to pieces upon Kingston's head. Hero then put over his other opponents as worthy contenders and said he would each give them another shot any time they wanted.

Night Two
Hero successfully defended the PWG World Heavyweight Championship in the main event against PAC. Argued by some as the best match of Night Two. Hero won after catch PAC, who was coming down with a 360 Shooting Star Press, in a Cravate (great timing), carried him over in the Cravate Suplex and then scored the pin after nailing the Hero's Welcome. The two wrestled a great match and Hero put over PAC the same way he did the others last night.
