August 11 wrestling lineup

Puerto Rico offers tonight, August 11, two shows that have a lot of promise for those interested in seeing Puerto Rico’s wrestling scene grow. One show continues stories that have started beforehand, the other is mostly a stand-alone show; yet the first one will drive us to arguably the biggest show we’ll have on the Island this year in December. While the second one could bring more of these stand-alone shows to the Island, which, considering the state of many indies around the world is not a bad thing.

               

To start things off we have the show that will drive us to a December extravaganza that already has Marty Scurll and Colt Cabana scheduled to appear and it’s a show provided by the CWA.

                                                                                

                This show continues with the stablished storylines for this promotion, for which I will provide more insight later on when I catch up. But the line up is filled with local talent, most of whom are new to the scene and could really help boost the profile of Puerto Rican wrestling for years to come.

               

                The line up for this show, per the CWA Instagram page (cwaprtv), is as follows:

-          In a match ordered by the president of CWA: El Gabinente (The Cabinet) will face off against Justin Dynamite, Black Scorpio and a mystery partner.

-          In tag team action: Akiles Falcón & Cazador face off against Bane & Balrog.

-          Cuba open Challenge for the House of Lucha International Title: “El Cubano” Rodrigo García will defend the belt against any wrestler that accepts the challenge.

-          In tag team action: Black Money Services (Joe Colón & Jack Xavier) face off against Alejandro “Niche” Marrero and Victor Rodríguez

-          Leinord White will face off against Nexen. For the initiated, Nexen will face off against Adam Mayhem a week from now for the “Haitch” Title. (Going in Raw)

In the other show tonight, the ICWA (icwa_official), a promotion based in Orlando, Florida; presents their card “Caribbean Confrontation: Mexico vs. Puerto Rico.” This is the first show put together by the promotion in Puerto Rican soil, and they want to keep on putting shows like these together. ICWA is a new promotion founded by Puerto Ricans in Orlando and it looks to bring our style of wrestling to the US mainland, while also providing high quality wrestling for fans in Puerto Rico.

Their first show on the Island, “Caribbean Confrontation”, has a very interesting line up and set up. Mexico and Puerto Rico will be represented by a series of wrestlers and their captains (Alberto el Patrón for Mexico and Savio Vega for Puerto Rico); the country that wins the most matches wins a Cup. Without further ado here is the card:

-          In a match not in contention for the cup, “The Untraditional” Louis Forza faces off against “El Principe de las Tinieblas” Diabólico.

-          In another match not in contention for the cup, “The Untraditionals”, Obi Twynz and Aiden Grimm w/Allison face off against Danny Cruxiel and Jon Justice.

-          In the third match not in contention for the cup, “Puro Macho”, Khriz and Electro face off against “West Side Mafia”, Tabu and Morgan.

-          In our first match for the Grand Prix cup, a Hardcore match: Roxxy, representing Puerto Rico, faces off against Ludark, representing Mexico.

-          In the second match for the Grand Prix Cup: El Nazareno, representing Puerto Rico, faces off against El Hijo de Dos Caras, representing Mexico.

-          In the third match for the Grand Prix Cup: Mecha Wolf (450), representing Puerto Rico, faces off against Mr. Aguila (FKA Essa Ríos), representing Mexico.

-          In a captain face off, part of the Grand Prix Cup: Savio Vega, representing Puerto Rico, faces off against Alberto el Patrón, representing Mexico.

-          In an Ultraviolent Match: Chicano, representing Puerto Rico faces off against Pagano, representing Mexico.

As you can see, both of these shows offer interesting matches for those interested in Puerto Rican wrestling. Arguably the ICWA show is a more interesting event for those who are casually interested in our brand of wrestling, given the one-off nature of the event. But, considering CWA is putting together a show in one of the biggest venues on the Island, one cannot sleep on them at any point in time. Whenever results are made available, or information is known about these shows, I’ll put them here; because, sadly, neither of these shows will be streamed. Yet, this is another proof that #AquíSeHaceLucha
